初三阅读理解专项训练 Passage 1If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星).A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels.If a comet isnt a star, what is it then?Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see.An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again. Maybe you have ever seen Halleys Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986. Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it. You will probably be able to see Halleys Comets when it comes near the earth again.1.A comet is like _.A. sun B. moon C. sunlight D. the earth2.A large part of a comet is _.A.water and rockB. water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with ironC. ice, iron and rock dustD. only a few big pieces of rock3.Maybe many people _.A. havent seen any comets B. have seen all cometsC. have seen a comet at daytime D. have seen a comet4.Some comets keep coming back _.A. at any time B. at noon C. at regular times D. at daytime5.Halleys Comets came back _.A. in 1990 B. in 1980 C. in 1986 D. in 1989Passage 2【答案与解析】本文向我们介绍了有关彗星方面的知识。与地球一样，彗星也是绕太阳旋转的，它本身不发光，靠反射太阳的光而发亮。短文中还介绍了彗星的成因，它拖着的长尾巴是如何形成的以及著名的哈雷彗星名字的由来。1.D。“Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but”是判断本题的根据。2.C。根据“is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock.”这句话即能得出答案。3.D。由第五段的首句“Many people perhaps have seen a comet.”可知。4.C。“Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times.”一句是答案的出处。5.C。哈雷彗星每七十六年才能看到一次。再结合“the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986.”这句话的意思，即可得到答案。上面的五个问题我们都可以很容易的在原文找到对应的部分，这种题实际上是最不容易出错误的，因为只要你找到了对应句，即使有个别的单词不能理解，也能够答对，下面再来试一文章，看看你的准确率哦。Passage 3A farmer had a cow. He took very good care of this cow and one day when it was ill, he was very worried. He telephoned the vet.“Whats the problem?” The vet asked him when he arrived.“My cows ill,” the farmer said. “I dont know whats the matter with her. Shes lying down and wont eat. Shes making a strange noise.”The vet looked over the cow. Shes certainly ill, he said, and she needs to take some very strong medicine.He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand and said, Give her these. The pills should make her better.“How should I give them to her?” the farmer asked.The vet gave him a tube (管子)and said, Put this tube in her mouth, then put the pills in the tube and blow. Thatll make it.The next day the vet came to the farm again. The farmer was sitting outside his house and looked more worried.“Hows your cow?” the vet asked.“No change,” the farmer said, “and Im feeling very strange myself.”“Oh?” the vet said, Why?“I did what you said,” the farmer answered. “I put the tube in the cows mouth and then put two pills down it.”“And?” the vet asked.“The cow blew first,” the farmer said.1.In the story, the vet must be _.A. the farmers friend B. a milk factoryC. a hospital for cows D. a doctor for animals2.The farmer asked the vet for help when his cow _A. couldnt lie down B. didnt eat the pillsC. couldnt make any noise D. was ill3.What medicine did the vet give the farmer?A. Bottle of pills. B. A long tube.C. Two pills. D. A small box.4.The vet taught the farmer how _.A. to blow the tube B. to make the cow take the pillsC. to take the medicine D. to put the tube in his mouth5.Which of the following is true?A. The farmer ate the pills himself.B. The cow got better after taking the medicine.C. The vet came to help farmer change the cow the next day.D.

Passage 2【答案与解析】这篇令人忍俊不禁的幽默的主要内容是：一个农夫的牛病倒了。兽医给了他一些药和一根管子，并告诉他怎么样用这根管子给牛喂药。第二天，兽医再次到农场时发现那位农夫坐在家门口，一脸的焦虑不安。原来他的牛病情并没有好转。他说自己按照兽医的嘱咐做了，可当他将管子插入牛的嘴里，并放进两粒药丸，正想吹气时，牛却先吹了一口气。1.D。根据短文内容，很容易推测出该词的汉语意思是“兽医”。答案当然是D。2.D。由“Shes lying down and wont eat. Shes making a strange noise.”可以排除A和B。C显然不对。3.C。“He took a bottle out of his box, put two pills into his hand”一句是答案的出处。4.B。 由“How should I give them to her?”这句话可知。5.A.根据短文最后一句话，不难想象，没等农夫吹气，牛先吹了一口气，将药丸吹到了农夫的嘴里。做这样类型的题有一种小技巧，你可以在回答问题的时候同时把答案的相应部分用笔标出来，这样的好处有两个，一是提高准确率，二是当你觉得哪个答案有可能有误差的时候可以只针对那句话和它的上下文来判断，不必阅读整篇文章。下面是两篇练习，看看你今天是否掌握了方法，一定要先做完再看答案和讲解哦。Passage 4On November 18th, 1908, three men went up in a balloon. They started early in London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon, and they were ready for a long way.Soon they heard the sea below them. They were carrying the usual rope , and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water. Or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight. They were also carrying some bags of sand.After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the mens basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. There was also some snow on the balloon, and that made it very heavy. It began to go down towards the ground. The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling; so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake below and made a black hole in the ice.At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 meters! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had traveled 1,797 kilometers from London!1.Three men flew in a balloon _.A. more than a century ago B. to visit PolandC. for nearly 1,800 kilometers D. to another city2.The metal box was used for _.A. changing weight B. carrying ropes of the basketC. keeping drinking water D. carrying the bags of sand3.When the balloon went up higher, _.A.they saw the sun go down B. the temperature of the balloon began to fallC. they could see a black hole on the ground D. they made a hole in the basket with their knives4.The balloon landed _.A. in a foreign country B. on a lake C. in London D. on the sea5.The three men had to land because _.A.they were very hungry B. they had not enough sandC. they pulled the box into the basket D. they felt too coldPassage 5【答案与解析】这是发生在历史上的一则历险小故事。1908年12月，三个人乘坐气球从伦敦出发，进行了一次长途旅行。为了能有效地控制气球的重量，他们在气球下方挂了一个能盛水的金属盒子，还事先携带了沙子。随着气球的升高，气球上面结满了冰，于是引起了一系列的麻烦。历尽千难万险，总算化险为夷。可当气球升至五千多米的高空时，他们实在无法忍受严寒，结果在波兰安全降落。1.C。由首句的1908年可知A项有误。另外，这三个人打算从伦敦出发乘气球作长距离旅行，由于天气状况不好，只好在波兰(Poland)着陆。行程达1,797公里，将近1,800公里。2.A. 根据“This could hold water. Or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight.”可知，金属盒里盛的水是并非是饮用水，而是用来改变气球重量的。文中还说他们同时也带了几袋沙子来调节气球的重量。3.B.根据“It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold.”或地理常识可断定B为最佳答案。4.A.如果气球降落在湖上或海上，那将是很危险的，联系“They came down in Poland heavily but safely”，可知A是最佳答案。5.D.答案源自最后一段中的“They were so cold that they decided to land.”一句。Passage 6If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you dont, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Dont try to find your friendslet them find you by staying in one place.There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you.

When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.If you dont think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house-cover up to the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Dont just walk away.

When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun.”一句中。3.C。“They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots. When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.”是答案的出处。4.D。根据“Dont just walk away.

Heres our advice to you and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.Its hard when a best friend isnt around maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out at break or lunchtime. You want to have new friends, but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has his or her friends. But remember, theres always room for more friends.Start by looking around your classroom think about which kids youd like to play with at break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation (欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom. When youre at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, can I play, too?” or just join in.If you have trouble doing this or if youre feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Be kind, be friendly, share, say nice things, offer to help and pretty soon, youll have one, or two, or even more new friends.You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other, you can share something you didnt have before he or she left: You can introduce him or her to your new friends!1.Which of the following can explain the expression “feel left out”?A.Feel homesick.B.Feel lonely.C.Leave home alone.D.Be hungry.2.According to the writer, some kids feel lonely at break because they .A.have trouble with their studiesB.dont have their best friends aroundC.need their parents to be with themDare too young to look after themselves3.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 means .A.sharing your ideasB.talking in front of many peopleC.studying better at schoolD.developing new friendship4.Some kids need help from teachers to make friends because .A.they miss their old friends a lotB.they have no time to stay with othersC.teachers know who wants a new friendD.they are shy or not good at making friendsPassage 2In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating (挨打) and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.Until now, even the most advanced (先进的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged (毁坏). That is because its computer inside simply doesnt know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed.To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (发动机) and two sensors (传感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machines software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machines shape at any moment.The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and its far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when its damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”1.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?A.They cannot repair themselves.B.The computer has changed a lot.C.They have no computers inside.D.The computer cannot work if the robot changes.2.The new technology allows the robot to _.A.do house work for humansB.keep working after being damagedC.remember a lot of informationD.tell people where it is3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to _.A. sensors B. robotsC. arms and legs D. scientists4.How do the sensors in the robot work?A.They can replace the computer when its broken.B.They can find out where the damage comes from.C.They help the computer learn the robots condition.D.They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.Passage3Wonder why you can get angry so easily while your friend smiles all the time? Its probably because you both have different personalities.Personality is also about how people think, behave, and react (反应) to everything around them from day to day.So what makes people think and behave in certain ways?Part of the reason is that people are born like this. A baby gets its blood type, genes (基因) and other physical things when its still inside its mother. These things may help decide what the baby will be like.But ones personality doesnt stop here. Family life, school learning and life experiences can also make you the person you are. This doesnt mean its impossible to change your personality. You can always try to make yourself better. Dont get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点). Just accept them. This is a good way to start making changes.If you dont know how to make friends, find out why. Is it because youre too shy? Tell yourself to smile at people. Start talking to people using warm greetings.Dont give yourself a hard time about it all. Its not easy to change lifelong habits in one night. Keep working at it. One day youll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new you!1.Personality is about the following EXCEPT _.A.how you think about somethingB.what you look likeC.how you behaveD.how you react to something2.According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?A.People are born the way theyll always be.B.Blood type decides what a person will be like.C.Personality decides what a person is like.D.A person can try to change his/her personality.3.From the last two paragraphs, we learn that _.A.a shy person cant make many friendsB.there is no way to change your lifelong habitsC.you can work hard to improv
