原文中文意思：
一位年老的木匠准备退休了。他告诉他的老板兼承包商准内备离开这个房屋建筑行业，去和容他的妻子一起享受大家庭的悠闲生活。他可能不会再有收入，但是他得退休。他们还是可以过下去的。承包商看到他的好工人离开感到惋惜，就问他能否出于个人帮助再建一座房子。木匠答应了，但到了开工的时候他明显地心不在焉。他磨洋工并且偷工减料。勤劳的一生就这么不幸地结束了。
当那个木匠完成他的工作时，老板来检查那个房子。他把大门的钥匙交给那个木匠。
这是你的房子，他说，我给你的礼物。
木匠惊呆了！多么羞耻啊！
如果他知道他建造的就是自己的房子的话，他会完全不同地去完成它。
我们做很多事情都有这种想法。我们意识到它们时已经是它们反作用我们的时候了。
这对我们也是一样。我们构筑我们的生活，一天一次，常常没有竭尽全力去构筑。让后我们惊讶地意识到我们得住在我们已经做好的房子里。如果我们可以从来，我们肯定会做得完全不一样。但我们不能回头。

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。

Mrs. Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said：Were you ever in a hospital when you were small? How did you feel? The doctors in Children’s Hospital are asking for money for children’s toys(玩具). Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep these sick(生病的)children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital.
After Mrs. Weeks read the story，she said，“This story gave me an idea.”
“You want us to bring some money for the toys.” “We could bring some of our own toys for the children in the hospital.” said the boys and girls one after another.
“Well，your ideas would be nice，” Mrs Weeks said，“but mine is different.”
“We could make some toys.” shouted one of them.
Mrs. Weeks smiled. “Do you think you could make toys?” she asked.
“Yes, yes.” the whole class answered.
“Great! Let’s begin to make toys tomorrow.” said Mrs. Weeks.
On Saturday afternoon，Mrs. Weeks took children to the hospital with the toys made by her students. The children in the class felt happy，too.
A few days later，Mrs. Weeks read another newspaper story to the class:
Some school pupils brought toys to Children’s Hospital last week. The toys were made by the pupils of Grade Three in Green Street School. The doctor said，“We have never had so many wonderful toys. Our children are very happy with them. They say，‘THANK YOU，GRADE THREE.’”
1. What was the first newspaper story mainly(主要)about?
A. Sick children in Children’s Hospital
B. Doctors in Children’s Hospital.
C. Mrs. Weeks and her students.
D. Toys made by the boys and girls.
2. What “idea” did Mrs. Weeks have in mind?
A. Ask the class to give some money to the children in the hospital.
B. Ask the class to send some of their own toys to the children in the hospital.
C. Let the class make some toys themselves and give them to the children in the hospital.
D. Tell the class to go to see the children in the hospital.
3. Doctors in Children’s Hospital didn’t have ____ to keep the children happy and quiet.
A. enough time B. enough boys and girls

A. give some money to B. make some toys for
C. get money to buy toys for D. borrow some toys for
5. What Mrs Weeks really wanted to do is to ____.
A. let everyone know her class
B. save some money for toys
C. make herself famous
D. teach the pupils to do things themselves and be helpful to others
参考答案： 1. A 2. C 3. C 4. C 5. D
讲解：
1. 根据第1段newspaper story的内容得知，文章主要讲的是在儿童医院生病住院的孩子，故答案为A。
2. 从文中孩子们建议用钱买玩具或带自己的玩具去医院，而“Mrs Weeks said，‘but mine is different.’”到有人提议“make some toys”时她微笑，可判断答案为C。
3. 纵观整个新闻内容可知没有足够的玩具供生病的孩子们玩，故答案为C。
4. 由文中说医生“ask for money for children’s toys”得知玩具不够，因此本题答案选C。
5. 从文章中可以看出Mrs Weeks的本意就是教学生学会关心爱护别人，故答案D是正确的。

⑸ 急需初中英语阅读理解练习题20篇（有答案）
http://www.gjzx.hnytnet.com/xsyd/syzx/200411/1122.html
这里至少有10篇…版…权
⑹ 初中英语阅读题
首先，得把书后来的单词记熟。源再此基础上，多看看英语文章，任何类型的都行。但是选择时请注意，生单词不能超过10%。文章里必须有新单词，但是不理解你影响全文，这样的文章最好。切记，遇见生词时先不要查字典。你得学会根据上下文才单词。看完后再查。然后把生词记在一个小本子上，没事的时候拿出来看看，比如等车，排队时。
然后，就是多做题。买本阅读专项训练，每天做两篇。一定要认认真真的做，不懂的地方要弄懂。最最重要的是要持之以恒。我上初三时这样坚持了半个学期，阅读才有起色的。
最后，你可以看一些英文的动画片和一些简单的小短片。培养自己对英语的兴趣。即使听不懂电影也没关系，只要耳朵在听就行了。
我想告诉你，提高英语是个慢功夫。不要指望一时半会儿就能把自己的英语水平提上去。学习没有捷径可走，学英语更没有。
祝你成功！
