(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(文學). 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(有經驗的) 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(規則) 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(精神實際) 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?

A
Ben Franklin once wrote, 「Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.」 People would suppose that Ben also meant students, but schools start before 8 am which means most students have to wake up around 6;30. this makes it challenging for teenagers to sleep the nine hours that the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) suggests. If teens ________________, their overall health would improve. Schools should move their strting times to 8;30 am or later.
It is nomal for teens to go to sleep late: only 15% of teens fall asleep before 10:45 pm; 5% hit the sack around 10:45 pm and the other 80% go to sleep after 11 pm. And many teens have sleeping problems.
What』s more, doctors say that lack of sleep is the top health problem. If true, why can』t something be done to help the students get more sleep? Studies show how that teens who sleep nine and a half hours have less despression, are late for class less often, and have fewer health problems.
Another benefit of starting school later is that students』 gradees would improve. It is easy to see that more sleep=smart students=students paying more attention in class=better grades. This has been proven in studies of schools all over the USA that have changed tjeir starting times. It is important for teens to get enough sleep so that they will remain in excellent build and earn super grades. Government and teachers would also benefit from a later starting time.

1不同的國家有不同的禮儀。We』d better find out their customs so that they will not think us ill-mannered. Here are some examples of the things that a person with good ecation does or does not do.
If you visit a Chiinese family, you should 2________________ the door first. When the door opens, you should not move before the host says, 「 Come in, please.」 3 After you enter the room, you can』t be seated before the host asks you to. When a cup of tea is put on the table in front of you or sent to your hands, you should say 「thank you.」 And receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are impolite. Before entering a house in Japan, 4 taking off your shoes is good manners. In Europen countries, even though the shoes became very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes his food on the plate, instead, he leaves a little to show that he has enough. In England, a visitor alaways finshes the food or drink to show that he has enjoyed it. This will make the host pleased.

Father』s Day is a very new festival in British compared with Mother』s Day, which has been a very popular festival in the UK for a long time.
Father』s Day started in America. Once there was a man called William Smith, whose wife died and he had to raise six children by himself. His daughter, Sonaro, thought when she grew up what her father had done for them. So she thought that there should be a Father』s Day festival. Later, the tradition waas born, falling on the third Sunday every June.
Britain took the idea of Father』s Day from the USA and it has been popular since then.
What do British people do for Father』s Day?
Well, most people would buy their fathers a card. 4 The card would have a nice message in it saying what a great Dad their father is. Some people do buy presents as well.
Popular gifts for Dads are probably ties, chocolates or socks because these are things that Dads can always use even if they don』t want them.

Usually many teachers tell students ahead of time what the form of an exam will be. This can help you plan how to study. For example, if you know you are going to have choice questions on World War II, you should ____________________ facts and details. On the other hand, if the exam has understanding questions, you will think about which topic it should be and then go over your note, books, and other reference books to consider how to answer the questions on the topic.
When trying to remember dates, names or other real information, keep in mind that it usually takes a tries to remember something correctly. That is one reason why it is good idea to start studying well before a test. Use special memory ways that the teacher may have suggested or the ones that you invent yourself. Read the passage several times if you need to, and write down some important words and phrases that can help you remember the main idea of the passage.
Some people find it helpful to teach what they are studying aloud to aonther student or study with a partner. Another studying method is making cards that show some of imoportant facts. Then you can use them to review for a test.

One day a wealthy man took his young son on a ttrip to the country with the purpose of showing him _______________. They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, 「How was the trip?」
「Very Good, Dad」
「Did you see how poor some people are?」 the father asked.
「 Yes!」
「 And what did you learn?」
The son answered, 「 I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a lake that has no end. We have expensive lamps in the garden while they have the stars.」
When the son ended, his father was too puzzled to say anything. His son added, 「 Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are!」
Isn』t it true that it all denpends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good sense of humour and a positive attitude toward the life, you have everything.

On Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon（氣球）.They started early in London. The headman was Augusta 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. They were carrying the usual rope（繩子）,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（重量）.It was for use over the sea. They were also carrying some bags of sand.
After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on 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 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 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. They came down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!

5. 初中英語閱讀理解試題(含答案和解釋)
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（破壞）the 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（語言學家）. 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】在審題過程中請大家主語是main purpose而不是main idea ,第一段就一句話，而且是讓人咋看起開一頭霧水的句子，這樣的句子用在開頭，很明顯是為了引出下文。或者大家可以運用排除法文章主要對象是netspeak ,而A，B兩項沒有提到netspeak 故排除，又因為C選項在感情色彩上是負面，與原文感情色彩相違背，故答案選擇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】本題為判斷正誤題，也叫做細節推斷題，解題方法依據選項中的人物專有名詞來定位找要點，A定位詞為CM在原文倒數第二個自然段出現，其中引號的句子中用了worries與答案中的properly相反，所以排除；B定位詞為GN和Standard English.文中出現Standard English.是在倒數第二個自然段與CM相關的信息，所以此選項為典型的張冠李戴；D選項為片面的誇大其辭，文章層面只能看到language is changing，而沒有任何細節提到improving，所以根據文章第四自然段可以推斷出C為正確選項。
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】本題為短語推斷題，解題方法結合上下文邏輯關系，上文提到年輕人會harming 語言，下文接著說當他們成為父母後，they too will think this way .他們也會這么想，那麼中間空出一定是強調，並凸顯出下文，那麼最滿足條件的解釋是A選項。
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】本題為主旨大意題，結合專家的觀點，既引號中的句子我們可以斷定，全文的中心思想是為了凸顯出netspeak的好，A 選項文章沒有凸顯出widely -used C 選項沒有重點提及到language learning D文章觀點很鮮明，並不是正反觀點的論證，故答案選擇B。
6. 初中英語閱讀理解類型及相應的技巧
做任何閱讀理解都抄有異曲同工之妙，也都差不多有相同的套路
首先，要知道要哪些類型的英語閱讀理解，以及相映的閱讀方法：
1.記敘文。但這種文章又分兩小種，一是單純的記敘文，這種文章先要看它是以什麼為線的（時間、地點等等）。跟隨著這種線就很好理解文章。第二種是描述文，這種文章應該算是比較難的，但是仍然要讀每一段的第一句話，抓住文章的脈絡。
2.議論文.這種應該算簡單的,只要了解作者的立場和理解第一段和最後一段,以及每一段的第一句話就OK了.
3.說明文.這種文章要知道作者在介紹的是什麼東西,聯系實際,對文章內容作合理的聯想,但仍不可忽略作者的態度.
最後箱跟你說的就是要每天堅持一片,這樣可以熟悉做題的方法和適應英語的思維方式.同時要進行思考,找出適合自己的方法.大概的方法也就是理解第一段和最後一段,以及每一段的第一句話(中心句).而且要注意每段轉折詞處,這些地方一般都會體現出作者的觀點.做題時找到文章關鍵詞的出處並結合上下文去理解來做題.最後,祝你學業有成!
