Last year, we had an English teacher from the United States. We called him Mr.Black. He often told us, “English is very useful in the world.” He taught us very well. He was strict with us all. In class he always gave us more time to speak English. At first I could hardly understand a word and I could not talk in English at all. But soon I found English was not so hard and I could talk to my classmates in English. So I began to like it very much.

Now Mr.Black taught in another school. This year we have a new teacher, Mrs.Green. She also teaches us very carefully. She often asks us to recite （背诵）the texts and play games. With the help of the two foreign teachers, we all have made progress.

Now I am enjoying studying this subject. I am sure I will learn a lot this year.

One day he went on a long trip alone. Before he left home, his wife said, “Now you have all these things. They are what you need for your trip. Take care of your things during the trip.” He went to the station, bought a ticket and got on the train with it.

我们都很了解蚊子，蚊子到处乱飞，几乎世界每个角落都能发现它的踪影，而且蚊子有2500多种。

人人都讨厌蚊子，但是蚊子蚊子却可能会爱上你哦！是她吗？-------是的，就是她。的确，雄性蚊子不会亲近你，只有雌性蚊子才会与你发生关系，因为她需要血液来产卵，她总是在寻觅生物或人，她要的叮。她要是找到了她喜欢的东西，她就叮。如果她觉得你的血液不合她的口味，呀就转向别人。哪次蚊子咬你了，你可要记得你被蚊子相中了，你与众不同。

如果蚊子喜欢你，她就落在你身上并不让你知道，然后她就轻轻地飞快地咬你，让你感觉不到。她叮你后。你的部位会很痒，因为她用她的嘴在你血液里放了一种特殊物质。当你觉察到痒时，她已经远离你了。

那么，之后又发生什么了呢？原来，一顿美味之后，蚊子他也感觉累了。他正需要一个地方好好休息一下。于是，在一片叶子上或井边，他开始产卵，产成百上千的卵。

He has almost 600 of them, but I wonder if they are worth any money. 48 , to my brother, they are quite valuable. 49 makes him happier than to find a new match box for his collection.

One April 1st, a country bus was going on a countryside road. The road was so small and not so straight that the driver had great trouble in driving along. When the bus slowed down and stopped, he quickly turned his key again and again, looking very worried, but nothing happened.

There is one thing to do if we want to get home before dark. I shall count three, and on the word …three?, I want you all to lean forward（前倾）suddenly as hard as you can. That should get the bus started again. Now, all of you lean back（后仰）as far as you can in your seats and get ready.”

The passengers all followed the driver?s words. They leaned back all at once and waited quietly for the driver?s number counti ng. Then the driver turned to his front and asked whether they were ready. The passengers hardly had enough breath to answer “yes”.

While other holidaymakers stood and watched as the disappearing waters left boats and fish on the sands. Tilly seemed to know the danger signs at once because she had just learned a school lesson on huge waves caused by the moving and shaking of the underwater earth.

Quick action by Tilly?s mother and Thai hotel staff（工作人员）meant Maikhao beach was quickly cleared, just minutes before a huge wave fully swept the beach. The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.

C. It is the name of a newspaper.

D. It is the name of one of the tourists.

68. What does the underlined sentence “The beach was one of the few on the Thai island of Phuket where no one was killed.” in the fifth paragraph mean?

A. Only 100 tourists were not killed on the Thai island of Phuket.

B. No tourists were killed on Maikhao beach in the Asian tsunami.

C. All tourists were saved by Tilly on the Thai island of Phuket.

D. Few tourists were killed on the Thai island of Phuket in the tsunami.

69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Andrew Kearney came to the Thai island of Phuket two weeks before Christmas.

B. Tilly Smith knew a tsunami would happen, so she learned about it in her lesson.

C. Tilly Smith and her mother went to the Thai island of Phuket for their holidays.

D. A Girl Saved Tourists Thanks to Her School Lessons

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题含答案及解析

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编 1．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow. When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality. Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic. They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive. So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people. （1）What is the passage mainly about? A. Environmental protection. B. The world of tomorrow. C. Advantages of technology. （2）What do we learn from the passage? A. Some people think technology development may bring new problems B. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap. C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.

You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else. You were meant to be different. Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.

Enjoy it and share it! No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort.

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析

（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon. The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds. Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle. The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams. In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour. Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.” The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon. （1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike . A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed （2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that . A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height （3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to. A. the jet stream B. the engine C. the Jetpack D. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage? A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles. B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles. C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles. D. To advertise the two personal

中考英语英语阅读理解试题(及答案)

中考英语英语阅读理解试题(及答案) 一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1．阅读短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。 A man sees a butterfly. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make them fly. When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we 1oюk at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives. Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them. （1）From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because ________. A. it gets out by itself B. the man feels sorry for it C. it doesn't want to challenge itself D. the man helps it come out （2）Dennis' example shows that success people should ________. A. overcome the difficulties B. take up business early C. become the leaders of tomorrow D. sell clothes from door to door （3）Which statement is TRUE? A. Young people should face challenges because they are strong. B. Losing his father made Dennis mature in a slow way. C. Rock-climbing and camping can shape the strong will. D. The most successful people don't need to struggle. （4）What is the best title for this passage? A. God Helps Those Who Help Themselves B. Young People Must Deal With Difficulties Alone
