But I couldn』t go out. Those 2,000 words were still 5 me. After translating only three pages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for a long time. But I couldn』t make myself turn the pages. How wished I could just go outside and 6 football with my friends! I counted the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting 7 my mind. One said, 「Don』t give up! Keep working hard, and you』ll do well!」 But then the other one said, 「Go and play! It will be more 8 than translating. Do your work tomorrow.」 I stood up and would 9 the computer. But then I remember 10 my parents had told me: 「Whatever you do, don』t stop halfway.」 So I sat down and went on with it.

(一)A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people』s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文學). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有經驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
1. A friend of the writer』s drew the horses ____.
A. very well
B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule
D. all of the above
2. The writer was surprised because ____.
A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people』s rule
3. You are not yet experienced because ____.
A. you don』t know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
4. When you become more experienced you will ____.
A. never ask question
B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story
D. should think of the beginning
5. The topic of the passage is ______.
A. How to draw a horse
B. How to write a story
C. How to make your own rules
D. Trust to your own powers
答案:CDDCD
(二)When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence 「How do you do?」 as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence I your own language.
Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It』s important to master(掌握) the rules(規則) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can』t understand the speakers』 sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn』t change. Let』s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.
「She only likes apples.」 「Only she likes apples.」
「I』ve seen the film already.」 「I have already seen the film.」
When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神實際) of the language and use it as the English speakers do.
( )1. From the passage we know that when we are learning English.
A. we shouln』t put every word into our own language B. we shouldn』t look up every word in the dictionary
C. we need to put every word into our own language D. we must read word by word
( )2. The writer thinks it is in learning English.
A. difficult to understand different sounds B. possible to remember the word order
C. important to master the rules in different way D. easy to master the rules for word order
( )3. We can learn from the passage that .
A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words
B. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence
C. sometimes different order of words has a different meaning
D. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different
( )4. 「She only likes apples,」
A. is the same as 「Only she likes apple」. B. is different from 「Only she likes apple」.
C. means 「She likes fruit except apples」. D. means 「She doesn』t like apples」.
( )5. Which is the best title for this passage?
A. Different Orders, Different Meanings B. How to speak English?
C. How to Put English into Our Own Language? D. How to Learn English?
2. 初中英語閱讀理解試題(含答案和解釋)
My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.
Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.
Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破壞） English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.
Everyone should just relax, say linguists（語言學家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."
Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.
However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."
Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"
1. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To give an example of a foreign language.
B. To show an example of creative methods.
C. To express worries about using Netspeak.
D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.
答案：D
【解析】在審題過程中請大家主語是main purpose而不是main idea ,第一段就一句話，而且是讓人咋看起開一頭霧水的句子，這樣的句子用在開頭，很明顯是為了引出下文。或者大家可以運用排除法文章主要對象是netspeak ,而A，B兩項沒有提到netspeak 故排除，又因為C選項在感情色彩上是負面，與原文感情色彩相違背，故答案選擇D。
2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.
B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.
C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.
D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.
答案：C
【解析】本題為判斷正誤題，也叫做細節推斷題，解題方法依據選項中的人物專有名詞來定位找要點，A定位詞為CM在原文倒數第二個自然段出現，其中引號的句子中用了worries與答案中的properly相反，所以排除；B定位詞為GN和Standard English.文中出現Standard English.是在倒數第二個自然段與CM相關的信息，所以此選項為典型的張冠李戴；D選項為片面的誇大其辭，文章層面只能看到language is changing，而沒有任何細節提到improving，所以根據文章第四自然段可以推斷出C為正確選項。
3. The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.
A. be fairly sure B. be greatly surprised
C. think it a pity D. find it interesting
答案：A
【解析】本題為短語推斷題，解題方法結合上下文邏輯關系，上文提到年輕人會harming 語言，下文接著說當他們成為父母後，they too will think this way .他們也會這么想，那麼中間空出一定是強調，並凸顯出下文，那麼最滿足條件的解釋是A選項。
4. What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet
B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?
C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?
D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages
答案：B
【解析】本題為主旨大意題，結合專家的觀點，既引號中的句子我們可以斷定，全文的中心思想是為了凸顯出netspeak的好，A 選項文章沒有凸顯出widely -used C 選項沒有重點提及到language learning D文章觀點很鮮明，並不是正反觀點的論證，故答案選擇B。
3. 求短點的初中英語完形填空和閱讀理解配有答案詳解最少每項4個
(2009 上海中考試卷 完形填空)
Sometimes you may not understand your parents. One
minute they』re friendly, the next minute they』re shouting and screaming loudly
enough for the whole street to hear. So who makes them so 85 ? You, probably!
When you take your clothes off, remember to 86 . Get into the habit of
taking glasses and plates down to the kitchen. Before long you』ll be doing it
without thinking.
Even though you may not realize it, your parents have bought you many
clothes. But they』re not buying themselves new things every week, are they?
The simple truth is that there are more 87 things to spend money on, like the
electricity bill and food.
You may hate missing a party to visit some boring old relatives. They may
go on and on about what a sweet baby you were. You have no choice but to
listen. Even if you 88 , your parents won』t change their minds. Parents like to
show off their family. The best thing you can do is to help entertain your relatives.
Your parents will be so pleased with you afterwards that they』ll probably allow
you to go to the next two 89 .
You might not want to eat, but think of it from the parents』
point of view. If you cook two meals a day, it means 730
meals a year. Can you imagine how boring this can get?
Imagine how your parents feel when you say you』re not really hungry. 90 ,
your parents are probably worried that you aren』t eating enough.
Eat fewer snacks and leave room for your meals. Finally, offer to 91 after
the meal. Your offer may not be accepted, but your parents will be pleased.
( ) 85. A. friendly B. lonely C. changeable D. comfortable
( ) 86. A. hang them up B. leave them alone
C. put them on D. throw them away
( ) 87. A. interesting B. difficult C. important D. surprising
( ) 88. A. agree B. complain C. listen D. win
( ) 89. A. concerts B. meetings C. classes D. parties
( ) 90. A. In addition B. In return C. At most D. At last
( ) 91. A. do the cooking B. lay the table
C. buy some snacks D. wash the dishes解析：
85. （前制性設空）文章第一段提出，父母的態度往往會
令你感到詫異，他們有時是那麼友好，忽然間又會生氣地
大聲嚷嚷，由此可以看出，他們的態度是那麼地易變changeable。所以，
本題答案為C。
86. （句子層次的設空）青少年應該培養良好的生活習慣。例如，在家脫
衣後應該及時掛 上。B項leave them alone 表示「讓它們獨自留下」；
C項put them up 表示「把他們穿上」；D項throw them away表示「把它們扔掉」，
以上答案顯然均不符合文章意思，而A項hang them up 正是「把衣服掛上」
的意思，所以答案為A。
87. （後制性設空）家長會給孩子買許多衣服，但他們不會經常為自己購
物，那是因為他們要考慮維持家庭生計，他們往往把錢花在更重要的事
情上，所以答案為C。
88. （前制性設空）你有時會去拜訪那些無聊又年長的親戚，他們會一遍
又一遍地嘮叨你 小時候的乖巧可愛，而你只能洗耳恭聽（They may go on
and on about what a sweet baby you were. You have no choice but to listen.）
顯然，你會對此而抱怨，但家長們仍不以為然
（… your parents won』t change their minds.），所以本題答案為B。
解析：
89. （前制性設空） 如果能幫助招待好你的親戚，你的
家長會感到十分滿意，也會允許你出席以後的更多的這
種聚會。選項A、B、C與聚會無關，應予淘汰。所以，本題答案為D。
90. （語篇性設空）每日吃飯時，應該想到家長的艱辛。當你說你並不餓
時，家長不但會有內心的不快，另外會擔心你吃得過少而影響身體
（Imagine how your parents feel when you say you』re not really hungry. …,
your parents are probably worried that you aren』t eating enough.）。根據文
章內容，空格處應填入「除此之外」的意思，所以本題答 案為A。
91. （前制性設空）文章結尾告誡我們要少吃零食，要留出吃飯的空間
（Eat fewer snacks and leave room for your meals.）。飯後也要提出幫助
父母做些事情，盡管有時不會得到他們的許可。從四個選項中，我們可
以看到D項符合飯後可做的事，A項do the cooking 表示「煮飯」，
B項lay the table表示「擺餐具、飯桌」均發生在飯前，C項buy some snacks
與上文「少吃零食」的論述矛盾，所以答案為D。

Dear editor,
Why do newspapers have so many advertisements for electronic(電子的)equipment? Last Sunday I counted ads. for seven kinds of televisions and thirteen kinds of radios in the Youth Journal. Besides that, there were pages and pages of ads. for Citizens』 Band radios and tape recorders.
