初三英语阅读理解【1】
There are over 800 boarding (寄宿) schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Students study and live together. They can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.
_______________
In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert. Students can also make themselves something to eat at any time in a kitchen, or drink tea or have a snack between meals.
1. Which of the following is TRUE according to (根据) the passage?
A. Only white children were allowed to attend the earliest boarding schools.
B. Students in a boarding school are looked after only after school hours.

初三英语阅读理解【2】
A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, Paul?” he asked.
Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing? Boy, I wish…” He hesitated (犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”
“Oh yes, I’d love that.”
After a short ride, the boy turned around with his eyes shining, said, “Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?”
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent. And some day I’m going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed elder brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

初三英语阅读理解【3】
When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.
“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.
I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Graally, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.
One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”
In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.
1.The foreign teacher_______.
A. comes from America
B. is a young woman
C. is expressive enough
D. knows much about China
2.Chinese people prefer to show love by________.
A. saying “I love you”
B. cooking
C. getting good grades
D. doing something helpful;
3.In paragraph 4,what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?
A. She is meeting her daughter at the door.
B. She loves her daughter and misses her.
C. She is glad that she has more time to herself
D. he finds it interesting to hug her daughter.
4.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Say “I love you”more to your family.
B. Say “I love you”a lot to Chinese people .
C. Say “I love you”as a greeting to others.
D. Say “I love you”without great depth of feelings.

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
56. _______are not mentioned (提及) in this passage.
A. Fishes B. Plants C. Islands D. Living things
57. Which of the following is Not true?
A. The sea is usually beautiful when the sun is shining.
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________.
A. women wanted to live in the deep sea for a long time.
B. women could go deeper into the sea than men.
C. women liked living in the deep sea better 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.

The advertisement also mentions that the price includes 10 nights accommodation in a five-star hotel. Where exactly in Thailand is the hotel?
Finally, the advertisement mentions that there will be sightseeing tours of Thailand. Will there also be time to go shopping?
Thank you for your help.
Yours faithfully,

B) Possible versions:
a) Have you ever considered becoming a teacher? There are many advantages and disadvantages to doing this kind of job.
One of the main advantages to being a teacher is that it is rewarding because you work with children. Besides, it is exciting as you will teach lots of different things.
Nevertheless, a teacher's job can be difficult sometimes. First of all, it can be stressful because you have to do things in a very short time. Moreover, it is tiring because you have a lot of homework to correct.
All things considered, I think becoming a teacher is a good idea.
b) Have you ever considered becoming a doctor? There are many advantages and disadvantages to doing this kind of job.
One of the main advantages of being a doctor is that it is rewarding as you treat people. Besides, it is well paid because the job takes a lot of skill.
Nevertheless, a doctor's job can be very difficult sometimes. First of all, it can be depressing because you have to be around sick people all day. Moreover, it is a stressful job as you have to work long hours.
All things considered, I think becoming a doctor is a good idea as long as you know the disadvantages.

This is a message for Marco Daniele. My name's David Dolby. I'm sorry I missed your call. I understand that you want some information about the volleyball club. The club meets once a week, on Wednesday evening. There are sometimes matches on Sunday morning, but those are just for our team players. Our meetings begin at a quarter to eight, and are about two and a quarter hours long, so we finish at ten. People like to get home in time for the 10:15 sports programme on television. We meet in the Jubilee Hall in Park Lane, behind the High Street. The hall doesn't have very good heating so you'll need to bring a sweater to put on afterwards. It's also quite expensive to rent, so our players pay ￡2.75 each week. I hope this answers all your questions and we'll be very pleased to see you at our next meeting!
B) You will hear a passage. Complete each blank according to passage you hear. The passage will be read twice.
Park Keeper: Now, ladies and gentlemen, just a few safety regulations before you drive off. The most important one is, stay in your car at all times. Otherwise you might end up as fast food; and you mustn't feed the animals; sometimes the zebras come close if they see you eating, but they don't need any more food, believe me! Never use flash photography, not even with koala bears hidden in the trees; they might be frightened. Also, you should keep your car windows closed; animals can be very curious! Last week, a monkey jumped into a car and the people were bitten. You are allowed to eat and drink in your cars, of course, but please remember that every car has been given rubbish bags. So throw any rubbish in there and not out of the window. And finally, please, don't make too much noise. If you listen, you will hear beautiful sounds, the animals, the water, the wind in the trees. And now ... [fade]
