初一下册语文阅读理解题及答案 前天中午十二点整，我乘坐的火车呼啸着开出了石家庄市。车厢里人挨人，人挤人，满满登登。 刚上车的一个小伙子，看到一个座位上放着本又脏又破的书，捡起来，扔到茶几上，旁若无人地坐下。 邻座一位干部模样的人说：“对号入座，这儿有人。” 那小伙子眼一瞪，鼻子一抽，脸上的肌肉一抖，怪怕人地望着对面座位上一位穿红上衣的十来岁的小姑娘，问：“是吗？” 小姑娘点一点头说：“是。那也是一位大哥哥，他好像去打开水了。” 话音刚落，那打水的粗壮的小伙子已经回来了，他凶煞地吼道：“滚起来！” 坐着的小伙子连头也不抬，一只手在裤兜里摆弄着，那分明是一把匕首。一会儿，他眼睛往上一翻，说：“少犯傻！老子有票，我就要坐，坐定了！” 火车的轰鸣声夹杂着不堪入耳的争吵和谩骂，像冰水一样灌入耳中，让人肌寒血凝，连心都凉了。我暗自想，假如人有魂的话，那有些人大概只有一个躯壳吧。 两个小伙子怒目相视，一场厮打迫在眉睫。 没有人劝，也没有人去拉。 忽然，那个穿红色上衣的小姑娘让起来，眨眨有着双眼皮的又黑又亮的大眼睛，声音像银铃似的说：“别打架了，我要下车了。你们过来一个人坐这儿吧！”已经揪在一起的四只手松开了。一个小伙子坐到小姑娘让出的座位上。所有的人都松了一口气，这才把目光集中到那小姑娘身上，她那胖乎乎的白净净的好看的脸霎那间红了，红得
跟苹果似的。她抿抿嘴，甩了一下脑后油黑油黑的头发，提一个不大的旅行袋向车门走去。 火车在保定站停了。我想，她肯定在这个站下车了。 这趟车的终点站是北京。到站了，我下了车，在人流中穿行。出了站口，我快步走向公共汽车站。天啊！我忽然看到了那个小姑娘：大眼睛，双眼皮儿，好看的脸，油黑的头发，红上衣…… 她不是两个多小时前在保定站下车了吗？ 难道我看到了魂儿？我不信。难道是看花了眼？决不会！那么她是躲到别的车厢，一直站到北京？ 我想追上她，真诚地对她说一声：“你真好，我不如你。”可终于没有追上，她提着那个不大的旅行袋挤上了公共汽车。门关上，车开走了。 我久久伫立着，目送着远去的汽车，心中又忽然想起，老人说，人是有魂儿的。 我想念了：人有魂，国有魂，民族有魂。 问题： 1、“假如人有魂的话，那有些人大概只有一个躯壳吧。”这句中“有些人”指什么样的人？在文中指代的是谁？ ___________________________________________________________。 2、短文中说：“没有人去劝，也没有人去拉”，说明了什么？谈谈你的理解。 ___________________________________________________________。
上海市中考英语英语任务型阅读理解试题(含答案) 一、英语任务型阅读 1．根据短文内容，回答下列各题。 Do you obey the rules in your school? How do you like your school rules? A lot of school rules are similar around the world, but some are different. Every school has their own rules. There are some rules in Japanese schools. The students are not allowed to dye(染) their hair and should keep the hair Japanese black colour. They are not allowed to wear earrings, either. Almost all schools required students to wear uniforms in the past but now half of the schools require uniforms. The students feel happy to wear all kinds of clothes. The students mustn't be late for school. If they are late, they can't get into the school gate because the school gate is closed. In Japan, students are not allowed to have part-time jobs because they may not concentrate on their study. American schools have their own rules. For example, in Morton High School, students are not allowed to choose their own clothes. They must get to school and leave school on time. They must wear sports shoes in gym class. They should keep quiet in the school bus. In America, the students can have part- time jobs in their free time. （1）Why are the students not allowed to have part time jobs in Japan? (不超过8个词) （2）What must the students in Morton High School wear in gym class? (不超过5个词) （3）There must be some rules in your school. Give one example, please. (请自拟—句话作答) 【答案】（1）Because they may not concentrate on their study. （2）They must wear sports shoes. （3）You must be quiet if you enter the school building. (言之有理即可) 【解析】【分析】大意：世界上很多学校校规相似，但一些学校的校规却不相同，本文着重介绍日本学校一些校规和美国学校的一些校规的不同。 （1）根据In Japan, students are not allowed to have part-time jobs because they may not concentrate on their study.可知，日本学生不允许兼职因为他们可能不能专注于自己的学习，故填Because they may not concentrate on their study。 （2）根据They must wear sports shoes in gym class.可知，他们体育课必须穿运动鞋，故填They must wear sports shoes。 （3）在我们学校，学生要求进到教学楼必须保持安静，故填You must be quiet if you enter the school building。 【点评】考查任务型阅读，注意首先理解问题所问，带着问题从原文找到答案。 2．根据短文及表格内容列要点。 In order to learn how the students in our school spend money, we made a survey by asking them some questions. First, we asked them how much money they spent last month. And then we asked how much money they spent on snacks, books, movies, computer games, phones, transportation and other things last month.

初中七年级下册语文课外阅读理解训练试题及答案 一、部编版七年级语文下册阅读理解训练 1．阅读下面文字，完成后面小题。 百里负米 仲由，字子路、季路，春秋时期鲁国人，孔子的得意弟子，性格直率勇敢。 早年家中贫穷，自己常常吃野菜做的饭食，却从百里之外负米回家侍奉双亲。冬天，寒风凛冽，仲由顶着鹅毛大雪，踏着河面上的冰，一步一滑地往前走，脚被冻僵了，抱着米袋的双手实在冻得不行，才停下来，放在嘴边呵口气，然后继续赶路，夏天，烈日炎炎，汗流決背，仲由从不停下来歇息一会，只为了能早点回家给父母做可口的饭菜。遇到大雨时，仲由就把来袋藏在自己的衣服里，宁愿淋湿自己也不让大雨淋到米袋。 仲由就这样坚持百里负米，直至父母相继过世。 后来他做了大官，奉命到楚国去，随从的车马有百乘之众，所积的粮食有万钟之多。他坐在垒叠的锦褥上，吃着丰盛的筵席，却常常怀念双亲，慨叹说：“我宁可现在吃着野菜，也愿意为父母亲去负米，可是已经没有机会了！”孔子赞扬说：“你侍奉父母，可以说是生时尽力，死后思念哪！” （1）孔子称赞仲由的孝心是“生时尽力，死后思念”，请仔细阅读文本，说说仲由的孝心主要体现在哪些方面？ （2）小王在读过本文后感慨颇深，写下了自己的感受，但是同学们认为语言不够简明。请你帮她修改，并将修改后的文字写下来。 古语说得好：“孝顺是至善，是人类多种美好品德中占第一位的品德。”孝亲敬老是一种传统的美德，孝亲教老是一种基本的素质，孝亲敬老更是一种美好的情感。我在读《百里负米》的故事时，我的心里深受感动，懂得了要心存感思，及时尽孝，最后我号召大家孝敬父母，尊敬老人，敬爱老人，孝亲敬老，从我做起，从现在做起。 【答案】（1）一方面，仲由坚持从百里之外负米回家侍奉双亲，二方面，父母死后，他常常怀念双亲，宁愿放弃现在富足的生活也想一直为父母负米。 （2）古语说得好：“百善孝为先。”孝亲敬老是一种传统的美德，是一种基本的素质，更是一种美好的情感。我在读《百里负米》的故事时，深受感动，懂得了要心存感恩，及时尽孝。最后我号召大家孝亲敬老，从我做起，从现在做起。 【解析】【分析】（1）阅读短文可知，本文主要叙述了两件仲由尽孝的事迹：一，不辞劳苦，不畏艰险，从百里外负米回家孝敬双亲；二，父母去世后，还感叹没有机会尽孝。据此作答。（2）“孝顺是至善，是人类多种美好品德中占第一位的品德。”冗长，可改为“百善孝为先”；“孝亲敬老是一种传统的美德，孝亲教老是一种基本的素质，孝亲敬老更是一种美好的情感”的“孝亲敬老”重复，后两处可删去；“我的心里深受感动”中“的心里”可去掉；“孝敬父母，尊敬老人，敬爱老人”与“孝亲敬老”意思重复，可去掉。据此修改整理。故答案为：⑴一方面，仲由坚持从百里之外负米回家侍奉双亲，二方面，父母死后，他常常怀念双亲，宁愿放弃现在富足的生活也想一直为父母负米。 ⑵古语说得好：“百善孝为先。”孝亲敬老是一种传统的美德，是一种基本的素质，更是一种美好的情感。我在读《百里负米》的故事时，深受感动，懂得了要心存感恩，及时尽孝。最后我号召大家孝亲敬老，从我做起，从现在做起。

Passage 1 Mexico is a dry country. But Mexican farmers don’t worry about their plants. Why? Solid（固体）Rain may be the answer. Solid Rain looks like sugar (糖). It helps keep water for plants. One piece of Solid Rain can absorb (吸收) a small cup of water. It’s like a water tank. Whenever the plants need water, they can drink from the Solid Rain. A Mexican engineer made Solid Rain. He got the idea from baby diapers (纸尿裤). Solid Rain is easy to use. Farmers only need to mix the “rain” with soil and add water. Solid Rain not only saves water for plants, but also makes plants healthy. Mexican farmer Frank Torres said Solid Rain helped his plant because, “nutrients (营养成分) weren’t washing away every time we watered the plants.” However, Solid Rain also absorbs water from plants when it dries out. So it is important to always have water inside the “rain”. 1. What’s the weather in Mexico? A. Cold. B. Hot. C. Dry. D. Wet. 2. Who made Solid Rain?
一、高中英语任务型阅读 1．请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 Decoding the young brain There was a funny experiment to see how a young child would answer a specific question compared to an adult. After the adult had spent some time speaking with the child, he asked the child, “What do you think about me？” The child answered, “You talk too much.” When the adult performed the same experiment with another adult, the reply to the same question was, “I think you're a very interesting person.” Even if the adult f elt the same way as the child, his brain allowed him to take a moment，consider the question, and come up with an answer. He could have been annoyed, but his answer didn't reflect it because he was being polite. The secret lies in the science of the developing brain. The child's honest answer was reflected in the fact that his brain wasn't equipped to filter(过滤) information before answering the question. As a result, he was honest, but he said something that may have been hurtful. However, the child did not intentionally hurt the adult; it's just the way his brain works. As a child grows into adolescence and then into adulthood, that changes. The human brain is made up of billions of neurons(神经元). In order for our body to execute a command, like getting up from a chair and walking to the other room, the neurons in the brain have to communicate with each other. They also help us employ our senses like taste and touch and help us remember things. When the neurons send messages, perhaps one sensation(感觉) the person feels is excitement about eating a cookie because it is so delicious. Later, if that person smells a cookie or hears someone talking about a cookie, it can spark the electrical signals that call up the memory of eating the delicious cookie. In an adult, he or she may remember that eating too many cookies can have consequences, like weight gain. But because the younger brain is more impulsive(冲动的), the desire to feel the pleasure of the sweet treat outweighs the consequences. That is becau se when a child is young, his brain is “wired” in such a way that he seeks pleasure and is more willing to take risks than an adult. This affects his decision-making process and it is why younger people tend to be more impulsive. Sometimes parents have to tell their children over and over again before the child remembers that something is dangerous or risky. How many times have we heard a parent say, “I tell her this all the time, but she never listens！” To conclude, what we know about the young brain is that children are more likely than adults to be impulsive. It isn't always necessarily because they are being naughty; it may very well be because of their brains. So the next time you ask a child what he really thinks of you, be prepared for any kind of answer.
