一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析）
1．阅读理解

What do you see when you look at abstract （抽象的）art? Can you understand it? Does it
look like anything?

Abstract art became popular in the early 20th century. Artists did not want to paint, draw, or
sculpt things exactly like they looked. They didn't want their art to be realistic（现实的）. They
were more interested in basic shapes and colours.

Picasso is probably the most famous of these artists. He painted and drew in many, many styles.
Sometimes he used a lot of blue colours （his ）. Later, he used more red and pink
colours （his period）. Many of his other paintings are called （立体派的）
because they are made of painted squares.

After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more abstract. He painted people and
things using strange shapes. His work was so strange that many of his workmates didn't
understand it.

Kandinsky, another famous artist, used lines, shapes, and patterns to paint his subjects. His
paintings also used strong colours to express feelings. Other artists like the surrealists （超现实
主义画家），were interested in subconsciousness （潜意识）. Painters like Breton and
Magritte used many symbols in their work. The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always
clear. Dali, another surrealist artist, painted pictures that looked like dreams.

There are still many abstract artists around the world. That's the way many artists prefer. They
want each person to look at art and find their own meaning in it.

（1）Which would be most like abstract art?

A. A painting of a house.

B. A sculpture of a car.

C. A drawing of two people in a coffee house.

D. A red and blue painting, with no clear subject.

（2）What happened to Picasso's work after a long time?

A. It became more abstract.

B. It became less strange.

C. He went from using red colours to using blue colours.

D. He only painted with coloured squares.

（3）How did Kandinsky express feelings?

A. By using strong colours. B. By painting realistic people.

C. By painting with a lot of symbols. D. By painting in red and pink colours.

（4）Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Picasso painted in many different styles.

B. Dali was interested in dreams.

C. Abstract artists feel each work of art only has one meaning.

D. Magritte's art was full of symbols.

【答案】 （1）D

（2）A

（3）A

（4）C

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了抽象派艺术及其代表人物毕加索。

（1）推理题。根据毕加索是抽象艺术的代表人物Sometimes he used a lot of blue
colours （his ）. Later, he used more red and pink colours 有时他使用很多
蓝色，后来，他使用了更多的红色和粉色，可知 一幅红色和蓝色的画，没有清晰的主题最
像抽象艺术 ， 故选D。

（2）细节题。根据 After a long time, Picasso's paintings became more and more
abstract 可知很久以后毕加索的作品变得更加抽象 ， 故选A。

（3）细节题。根据 His paintings also used strong colours to express feelings 可知康定

（4）细节题。根据 The meaning or subject of their work wasn't always clear. Dali,

并不总是清楚的。另一位超现实主义艺术家达利画的画看起来像梦 可知抽象艺术家觉得每
件艺术品只有一种意义是错误的 ， 故选C。

shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil（道德败坏的）boy.
How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered
next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor
uncontrollable.

made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her
to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my
office.

When the teacher came, . He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he
didn't think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion.
Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn't hate him at all and, actually, she cared
very much about him. Only sometimes Chip's behaviour really scared her. It was clear to both
Chip and me that she really meant it.

I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful
and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings.

As I was speaking to him, his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was
a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I'm pleased to see his
behaviour improved through the rest of school years.

games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear
weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet
some new people. He quietly replied,
he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him either. Actually, the boy didn't
need a close talk but a friend.

At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.
I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the
boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend
time with him when they could.

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to
celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my

sick. I'm talking about putting ourselves first in other ways. For example, tell the baby that after
thirty minutes of reading to them, you are going to read your own book or eat at your favorite
restaurant. These selfish moments are good ways to teach our children that we are important too.

When you ask my kids
favorite things: reading books, watching movies, taking care of animals and them. They often see

13．阅读理解

The main difference between China and Western countries on the dinner table is chopsticks
instead of a knife and fork, but that's just a small difference. Besides, in decent（像样的）

restaurants, you can always ask for a knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough.
The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food, while in China the dishes
are placed on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated to a formal（正式的）
dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do his best
to give you a taste of many different types of dishes. The meal usually begins with a set of at least
four cold dishes, followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup will then
be served （unless it is a Guangdong-style restaurant）, followed by rice, noodles or dumplings.
Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts
like to put food onto their guests' plates. In formal dinners, there are always
and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. This is a sign of real
friendship and politeness. It is always polite to eat the food. If you do not eat it, just leave the
food on the plate. People in China tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing（令
人尴尬的） if all the food is consumed（吃光）. When you have had enough, just say so, or you
will always overeat!

（1）What's the real difference between Chinese and Western table manners?

A. The tools people use to eat. B. Whether people share food on the same plate.

C. The things people like to eat. D. How to begin the dinner politely.

（2）If a foreigner first comes to have dinner in a Chinese family, he may be _____.

A. given little food B. served with rice first

C. served with many dishes D. asked to use

（3）Which of the following is the RIGHT order for most Chinese formal dinners according to the
passage?

A. Rice-soup-hot meat-cold dishes.

B. Vegetable dishes-soup-dumplings-cold dishes.

C. Cold dishes-hot meat-soup-rice.

D. Cold dishes-soup-hot meat-rice.

（4）What's the best title for this passage?

A. Having dinner with foreigners

B. How to use chopsticks

C. The importance of table manners

D. Chinese table manners

【答案】 （1）B

（2）C

（3）C

（4）D

【解析】【分析】本文介绍了中西方的餐桌礼仪的区别。

（1）推理题。根据The real difference is that in the West, you have your own plate of food,
while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares真正的区别在于，在西
方，你有自己的盘子，而在中国，盘子放在桌子上，大家分享可知， 中西餐桌礼仪的真正
区别是人们是否在同一个盘子里分享食物，故选B。

（2）细节题。根据if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time, he will do his best

to give you a taste of many different types of dishes可知，如果主人认为你是第一次来到这个
国家，他会尽力让你尝到许多 不同类型的菜肴，故选C。

（3）细节题。根据 The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, followed by
the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. Soup will then be served （unless it is a
Guangdong-style restaurant）, followed by rice, noodles or dumplings.这顿饭通常以一套至少
四道凉菜开始 ，然后是热肉和蔬菜的主菜。随后将提供汤（除非是广东风味餐厅），然后

14．阅读理解

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right
family, and others Believe that success mostly Comes down to luck. I'm not going to say luck,
talent, and Circumstances（境遇）don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born
into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of
how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And,
vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours
studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which
most people won't put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you
don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up
before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know
that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got
lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, and
there's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.

No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out,
almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to
put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee（保
证）you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good
at whatever it is you put all that work into.
