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(文学). 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(有经验的) 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(规则) 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(精神实际) 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. 初中英语阅读理解试题(含答案和解释)
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（破坏） 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（语言学家）. 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】在审题过程中请大家主语是main purpose而不是main idea ,第一段就一句话，而且是让人咋看起开一头雾水的句子，这样的句子用在开头，很明显是为了引出下文。或者大家可以运用排除法文章主要对象是netspeak ,而A，B两项没有提到netspeak 故排除，又因为C选项在感情色彩上是负面，与原文感情色彩相违背，故答案选择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】本题为判断正误题，也叫做细节推断题，解题方法依据选项中的人物专有名词来定位找要点，A定位词为CM在原文倒数第二个自然段出现，其中引号的句子中用了worries与答案中的properly相反，所以排除；B定位词为GN和Standard English.文中出现Standard English.是在倒数第二个自然段与CM相关的信息，所以此选项为典型的张冠李戴；D选项为片面的夸大其辞，文章层面只能看到language is changing，而没有任何细节提到improving，所以根据文章第四自然段可以推断出C为正确选项。
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】本题为短语推断题，解题方法结合上下文逻辑关系，上文提到年轻人会harming 语言，下文接着说当他们成为父母后，they too will think this way .他们也会这么想，那么中间空出一定是强调，并凸显出下文，那么最满足条件的解释是A选项。
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】本题为主旨大意题，结合专家的观点，既引号中的句子我们可以断定，全文的中心思想是为了凸显出netspeak的好，A 选项文章没有凸显出widely -used C 选项没有重点提及到language learning D文章观点很鲜明，并不是正反观点的论证，故答案选择B。
3. 求短点的初中英语完形填空和阅读理解配有答案详解最少每项4个
(2009 上海中考试卷 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. （前制性设空）文章第一段提出，父母的态度往往会
令你感到诧异，他们有时是那么友好，忽然间又会生气地
大声嚷嚷，由此可以看出，他们的态度是那么地易变changeable。所以，
本题答案为C。
86. （句子层次的设空）青少年应该培养良好的生活习惯。例如，在家脱
衣后应该及时挂 上。B项leave them alone 表示“让它们独自留下”；
C项put them up 表示“把他们穿上”；D项throw them away表示“把它们扔掉”，
以上答案显然均不符合文章意思，而A项hang them up 正是“把衣服挂上”
的意思，所以答案为A。
87. （后制性设空）家长会给孩子买许多衣服，但他们不会经常为自己购
物，那是因为他们要考虑维持家庭生计，他们往往把钱花在更重要的事
情上，所以答案为C。
88. （前制性设空）你有时会去拜访那些无聊又年长的亲戚，他们会一遍
又一遍地唠叨你 小时候的乖巧可爱，而你只能洗耳恭听（They may go on
and on about what a sweet baby you were. You have no choice but to listen.）
显然，你会对此而抱怨，但家长们仍不以为然
（… your parents won’t change their minds.），所以本题答案为B。
解析：
89. （前制性设空） 如果能帮助招待好你的亲戚，你的
家长会感到十分满意，也会允许你出席以后的更多的这
种聚会。选项A、B、C与聚会无关，应予淘汰。所以，本题答案为D。
90. （语篇性设空）每日吃饭时，应该想到家长的艰辛。当你说你并不饿
时，家长不但会有内心的不快，另外会担心你吃得过少而影响身体
（Imagine how your parents feel when you say you’re not really hungry. …,
your parents are probably worried that you aren’t eating enough.）。根据文
章内容，空格处应填入“除此之外”的意思，所以本题答 案为A。
91. （前制性设空）文章结尾告诫我们要少吃零食，要留出吃饭的空间
（Eat fewer snacks and leave room for your meals.）。饭后也要提出帮助
父母做些事情，尽管有时不会得到他们的许可。从四个选项中，我们可
以看到D项符合饭后可做的事，A项do the cooking 表示“煮饭”，
B项lay the table表示“摆餐具、饭桌”均发生在饭前，C项buy some snacks
与上文“少吃零食”的论述矛盾，所以答案为D。
4. 初中英语阅读后填空题，要10篇，急求！
Dear editor,
Why do newspapers have so many advertisements for electronic(电子的)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.
Don’t you realize what electronic equipment is doing to our daily life? Everywhere you go you may hear loud music and advertisements over radios; this continuous noise is doing harm to our ears. Husbands don’t talk to wives any more; they are always watching the news or a ball game.

And worse, hidden microphones find out our personal lives, and computers keep records of personal information about us。

An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day’s hard work. When he was not far from his house, the light on the cart went out. He tried but could not mend (修理) it. He was near his home, and so he went along the road without a light.

I haven’t come far without a light.” “You came all the way without a light. What’s your name?” The carter quickly took the policeman’s hand and put it down on top of the light.
