I will always remember my mother’s last few days in this world.

On February 14th, 2000, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When I got into the office, I saw a police officer. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible.

On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She’s gone. Teresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.

Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero(英雄) is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is, I tell them, my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a true hero.

52. Where was the writer when she learned her mother was very ill?

A. On the beach. B. At the hospital. C. At school. D. At home.

53. Who brought the writer the bad news that her mother was ill?

A. Her sister. B. The headmaster. C. Her teacher. D. The police officer.

54. What did the headmaster tell the two teachers on the next day?

A. Her mother had been very ill. B. Her mother had been dead.

C. Her mother had gotten better. D. Her sister came to see her.

55. From the last paragraph of the passage we know that ______.

A. the writer is afraid of her mother B. the writer is proud of her mother

C. the writer feels sad about her mother D. the writer feels sorry for her mother

56. The writer must think her mother is a ______ woman.

As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins（企鵝）may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased（減少） by 30% since 1987.

Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America，New Zealand，Australia and South Africa. Mary live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly，but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill（磷蝦）。

The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce（繁殖）。 Besides，many adult penguins die of hunger.

Widespread（廣泛的） fishing，exploration for oil and oil leaks（漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物） in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies，including wild dogs，sharks，seals and sea lions.

News about penguins is not all bad，however. Several years ago，oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。

1、 Penguins ___________.

A. can swim better than fly

B. can be found near Oceania （大洋洲）

C. eat fish only

D. live only in cold waters.

2、 Which of the following is NOT the cause of penguin's decrease in numbers?

A. Oil searching. B. Widespread fishing.

C. Human's killing. D. Warming of the oceans.

3、 Why are the penguins in South Africa reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking?

A. Because people removed the ship.

B. Because people sent a lot of penguins to the wild.

C. Because people helped the penguins.

D. Because people treated the penguins well.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (頑童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.

Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated (猶豫).

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”

“Oh yes, I’d love that.”

After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.

He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (殘疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.

“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”

——初三英語閱讀理解訓(xùn)練附答案3篇

Early one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a

sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.

Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle.

The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream,

realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.

Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this

way.

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.

To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(無意識(shí)的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have

forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.

to the passage, Elias Howe was________.【 C 】

A. the first person we know of who solved problems in his sleep

B. much more hard-working than other inventors

C. the first person to design a sewing machine that really worked

problem Howe was trying to solve was________.【 A 】

A. how to prevent the thread from getting caught around the needle

B. how to design a needle which would not break

C. where to put the needle

Edison is spoken of because________.【 B 】

A. he also tried to invent a sewing machine

B. he got some of his ideas from dreams

C. he was one of Howe’s best friends

are sometimes called“secret messages to ourselves” because___.【 A 】

A. strange images are used to communicate ideas

B. images which have no meaning are used

C. we can never understand the real meaning

As many as 10 of the 17 kinds of penguins（企鵝）may be in danger of disappearing. The number of penguins have decreased(減少) by 30% since 1987.

Penguins are black and white birds that live in the southern part of the world. They are common in South America，New Zealand，Australia and South Africa. Mary live near cold waters. But some live near warm waters in Galapagos Islands. Penguins cannot fly，but they are fine swimmers. Penguins eat fish and krill(磷蝦).

The warming of the earth is the decrease in penguin populations. The heating of the air has caused ocean waters to become warmer. Higher water temperatures have reduced the supply of fish and krill. Some years later these birds are completely unable to reproduce(繁殖). Besides，many adult penguins die of hunger.

Widespread(廣泛的) fishing，exploration for oil and oil leaks(漏) also make penguins be in danger. Poisonous organisms(生物) in ocean water are another danger. Penguins also have their enemies，including wild dogs，sharks，seals and sea lions.

News about penguins is not all bad，however. Several years ago，oil leaking from a ship hurt 40% of the penguins in South Africa. The penguins became covered with oil. But thousands of people helped clean and treat the birds well. Then they returned the penguins to the wild. Now these South African penguins are reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。

1. Penguins ___________.

A. can swim better than fly

B. can be found near Oceania (大洋洲)

C. eat fish only

D. live only in cold waters.

2. Which of the following is NOT the cause of penguin's decrease in numbers?

A. Oil searching. B. Widespread fishing.

C. Human's killing. D. Warming of the oceans.

3. Why are the penguins in South Africa reproducing in higher numbers than before the oil leaking?

A. Because people removed the ship.

B. Because people sent a lot of penguins to the wild.

C. Because people helped the penguins.

D. Because people treated the penguins well.

答案及解析：

1. 選B，我們知道企鵝不會(huì)飛，因此A不正確，除了吃魚，他還吃磷蝦，因此C不正確。只能選B。

2. 選C，本文中并沒有說人類是如何捕殺企鵝，相反，人類對(duì)企鵝的態(tài)度相當(dāng)友好。

3. 選C，根據(jù)文章可以判斷是由于人類的幫助。

There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.

What to do

In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “l(fā)ight out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.

What to wear

Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

_______________

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or sim* bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert.

英語閱讀理解

英語自主性閱讀實(shí)施心得

萊州市實(shí)驗(yàn)中學(xué)李向民

眾所周知，對(duì)于人類來說，廣泛閱讀是汲取知識(shí)的重要途徑之一，一本好書會(huì)影響人的一生，同樣英語閱讀也是中學(xué)生一種非常重要的學(xué)習(xí)手段，它不僅可以開闊學(xué)生的視野，陶冶學(xué)生的情操，更是培養(yǎng)學(xué)生表達(dá)能力的重要途徑之一。通過大量英語自主性閱讀可以培養(yǎng)學(xué)生良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣，訓(xùn)練學(xué)生敏銳的思維方式及迅速捕捉重要信息的本領(lǐng)，實(shí)現(xiàn)學(xué)生聽、說、讀、寫綜合語言運(yùn)用能力的全面提高。在平日的工作中，我把自己如何培養(yǎng)學(xué)生自主性閱讀的實(shí)施心得總結(jié)如下：

一、備課

2、備學(xué)生

上課之前要設(shè)想學(xué)生對(duì)于本周的閱讀材料會(huì)產(chǎn)生什么樣的質(zhì)疑，對(duì)于這些質(zhì)疑如何處理效果更好，學(xué)生會(huì)對(duì)閱讀材料中哪一篇更感興趣，怎樣更吸引學(xué)生主動(dòng)參與去探究知識(shí)領(lǐng)域，都要事前做好充分的思想準(zhǔn)備。更重要得是要教會(huì)學(xué)生合作方法，讓學(xué)生主動(dòng)地動(dòng)起來。我會(huì)按照心理、性格、情感和認(rèn)知等方面不同的群體分為四人一個(gè)小組，每個(gè)小組都有高、中、低、差四個(gè)層次的學(xué)生，使組內(nèi)成員有一定的差異性和互補(bǔ)性，這樣既保證了小組間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性，又保證了公平性。同時(shí)，以高帶中、中領(lǐng)低、低幫差、差再促高，使學(xué)生遇到問題學(xué)會(huì)自己發(fā)現(xiàn)、自己討論、自己解決，盡可能地挖掘?qū)W生的內(nèi)在潛能。

二、上課

1、課前導(dǎo)入

上課后，前5分鐘是導(dǎo)讀時(shí)間，即把本節(jié)課要涉及到的內(nèi)容（如新詞、國(guó)家、地方等）讓學(xué)生寫在黑板右下角，然后根據(jù)查到的資料做閱讀前演說報(bào)告，爭(zhēng)取用漢英結(jié)合式、背景介紹式、談?wù)撌健��?fù)習(xí)式給大家做個(gè)粗略的.解釋，這對(duì)表達(dá)能力也是個(gè)促進(jìn)。先由學(xué)生從小組中推出一兩個(gè)代表發(fā)言，也可以由別的小

組成員來做補(bǔ)充說明，最后我再把需要補(bǔ)充的地方加上去，讓學(xué)生對(duì)所需閱讀的材料做到心中有數(shù)，真正起到一個(gè)導(dǎo)讀的作用，為下面的閱讀作好良好的鋪墊。

2、課中進(jìn)行

To find out whether bees（蜜蜂）can see colours, the following experiment is made. A round table is put in a garden, and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard（硬紙版）with a drop of syrup（糖漿）on it.
