A
From a plane we can see the fields, cities, mountains or seas below. If we go into space, we see more and more of the earth. People and man-made satellites have been sent out into space to look at the earth carefully and people have learnt more about the earth in the last few years.
The sea looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be very terrible when there is a strong wind.
The sea is very big. It nearly covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. There is one place and at that place the sea is about 11 kilometres deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometres high. If that mountain was put into the sea at that place, there would be still 2 kilometres of water above it!
In most parts of the sea, there are many kinds of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things, and lots of fishes live by eating them.
The sea can be very cold. When people go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some men can go down into the deep sea. But, in 1970, five women scientists (科学家) lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.
54. This passage is_________.
A. a short story B. for science reading
C. a piece of news D. a report
55. The sea covers about _______of the earth.
A One third B. One fourth C. Two quarters D. Three fourths

B. The sea is always very terrible when the wind blows hard.
C. The highest mountain is in the deepest place of the sea.
D. The deeper the people go into the sea, the colder they will feel.
58. The last sentence “But, in 1970, five women scientists lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.” means that________.

B. women could go deeper into the sea than men.

D. women could do the same work as men.
B
I left home for New Zealand to start my new life on my 15th birthday.
My father and mother took me to Hong Kong, where we had to say goodbye. When we were saying goodbye, I suddenly felt afraid that I had never had before.
This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away（擦去）my tears, I realized（意识到）that, from that moment on, I would have to do everything by myself.
After my arrival in Wellington, my teacher, Ms. Lang, showed me around my new school.
A few days later, I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class.
Only maths, science, social studies（社会学）and English were compulsory, and students could choose other subjects for themselves, I chose music, Japanese and health.
In New Zealand, students are very active in class. And teachers are not as serious（严肃的）. They often let us play games in class. We can sit with anyone we like, and the teacher can sit at her own desk or at a student’s desk. The school had an easy manner, with few rules.
Because there was no homework, we could join clubs（俱乐部）or do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school, where I found a lot of books to help with my studies.
Studying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand, students depend on（依靠）the library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do.
Time went fast. The two months after I arrived flew by. Then a week of exams began.
I did not have to take these exams, because I had only been at the school for a short time. However, my maths teacher encouraged（鼓励）me to take the maths exam, as she thought I could do well.
Though there wasn’t much pressure（压力）on me, I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pain means no gain（收获）.
When the day of the exam came, I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later, my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark: It was me! I got 94 percent.
All my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life.
59. The word “Wellington” in the fourth paragraph（段）is the name of _______.
A. the writer’s new teacher B. the writer’s new school
C. a city in New Zealand D. a person we don’t know
60. When she was wiping away her tears, the writer realized that________.
A. she had already arrived in New Zealand.
B. she could no longer see her parents in Hong Kong.
C. she had to say goodbye to her parents.
D. she would start a new life in New Zealand all by herself.
61. The word “compulsory” in the sixth paragraph means_______ in Chinese.
A. 必修的 B. 选修的 C. 义务的 D. 有责任的
62. The writer always went to the library because ________.
A. the teacher asked her to do so
B. she wanted to gain knowledge with the help of many books
C. she had no homework and had nothing to do
D. she must get ready for the exams
63. The writer didn’t have to take the exams, ________.
A. so she didn’t work hard to get ready for them
B. but she thought she could do well and took the maths exam
C. but she took the maths exam and did best of all in it
D. so she found she finished the paper faster than the others

Mr King soon began to feel sorry. "Thirty dollars is a lot to ask as price for that small room. " he thought. He called his assistant over and said, "Here is five dollars. Take it to the men in Room 418. I asked too much for their room."
The assistant took the money. While he was on the way there, he started to think, "How can three men divide（分）five dollars? I'll give them each only one dollar and keep the two dollars for myself. The men will be happy to get something back, and Mr King will never know. " So the assistant returned one dollar to each man.

Ⅱ 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。

Hayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941. As a boy, he liked to read and draw cartoons. After graating from university in 1963, Miyazaki joined the Toei Animation （动画片制作） Company. At Toei, he worked on many animated movies, like the famous Puss in Boots. In 1984, he made Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, which was based on a comic book he wrote. Because this movie was so successful, Miyazaki was able to start his own animation company, Studio Ghibli.
One of Miyazaki's most loved movies is My Neighbour Totoro, made in 1987. It is a children's movie, but many teenagers and alts like it too. The movie is about two sisters who become friends with a big, supernatural （神奇的） animal named Totoro. It is a very warm-hearted story, with many strange and interesting characters such as Cat Bus, a cat which is also a bus. Miyazaki's
2001 movie, Spirited Away, was even more popular than My Neighbour Totoro.
All of Miyazaki's movies have strange but charming people and creatures. Many of his stories happen in worlds that are different from ours. However, they still show his ideas about real life.

Tropical cyclones （热带旋风） are called typhoons （台风） in Asia, and hurricanes （飓风） in North and South America. These storms go around like a wheel（轮子） turning to the left. They have wind speeds of 60 kph or more. They can be very destructive （毁灭性的）. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Centre in Miami, Florida, looks out for hurricanes.
When scientists discover a true hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a man's or woman's name. Why should hurricanes have names? The names make it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its dangers.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be used. The WMO makes six lists （列表） of names, using the English alphabet. Each list is used for one year. When a hurricane happens, it gets the next name on the list for that year. For example, the first hurricane of the year might have the name Abel, while the second one could be Betty. The name lists do not include （包含） names beginning with the letters O, U, X, Y, and Z, since there are few names that begin with these letters. Asian countries use a different list. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals and trees.
56. Why should hurricans have names?
A. It sounds interesting.
B. The names help people get information about a hurricane.
C. The names are only for the WMO.
D. It is traditional.
57. _________ decides what names will be used for hurricanes.
A. The Tropical Prediction Centre B. A scientist
C. The WMO D. Abel
58. Which name would a hurricane never have?
A. Rita. B. Veronica. C. William. D. Yanni.
59. The Fifth hurricane of 2010 might have the name ________.
A. Diana. B. Darren. C. Eric. D. Connie.
60. Asian countries name typhoons after ________.
A. books and buildings B. flowers and animals

DJs (disc jockeys) are the people who play and present music on the radio, or in a nightclub. A VJ (video jockey) is a person who introces music videos on television.
VJs were first seen on television in the early 1980s when MTV went on the air. As MTV became popular and the audience for music videos increased, different kinds of music video channels started broadcasting. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIVA in Europe had started.
The VJs for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. Although some VJs showed mostly local content （本地内容）, other VJs presented shows for international viewers （电视观众）. These VJs, and the material （素材） they presented, needed to be popular in several different cultures.
One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but her parents and grandparents are from India, France, and England. She speaks three languages and has fans across Asia.
When asked what makes a good VJ, many successful VJs have given similar answers. To be a good VJ you need to know a lot about music, you need to be funny, and you can't be shy.
61. DJs play music _________, while VJs introce music videos _________.
62. When did VJs first appear on television?

“It's really cool to have a dad who flies fighter jets （喷气式战斗机）,” thought 11-year-old Casey as she was watching him fly overhead.
Living on an Air Force base （空军基地） was not as bad as some people might think. Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles （搔痒）.
Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.
When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been told to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes.
Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn't be seeing her dad for a whole year. They depended on （依赖） him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? Casey began to cry more than ever.
