初二英語閱讀理解練習(xí)題及答案

　　001 A Faithful(忠實的) Dog

　　More than seven hundred years ago, the Prince of Wales had a very big and brave dog called Gelert.

　　One day the Prince wanted to go hunting(打獵) with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle(搖籃), which was like a small bed.

　　When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged(搖) his tail(尾巴) and jumped up to put his paws( 手爪 )on the Prince's chest. Then the Prince saw the blood(血) on Gelert's jaws(顎) and head.

　　"What have you done?" the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them.

　　"So you have killed my son?" the Prince said angrily. "You unfaithful dog!" He took out his sword(劍) and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed(設(shè)法) to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog.

　　The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt(沒受傷). Near him was a dead wolf. Then the Prince knew that Gelert had defended(保衛(wèi)) the baby and killed the wolf.

Every morning at dawn, he walked up the mountain and stood by the dog's grave for a few minutes.

　　002ancient

　　Most people have flown a kite or have seen one ride and dip(下降) in strong spring wind. Not so many people know that kites were first made in China thousands of years ago. The ancient (古代的) Chinese were making and flying kites even before they were writing.

　　A long time ago, the Chinese made kites to use in wars. They would fly these war kites in the dark. The kites were fixed (固定) so that they made strange sounds. Men who were at war with them would hear these sounds and run away. They thought those strange sounds were made by gods(神) in the sky.

　　The ancient Chinese also flew kites to bring good luck and to make their crops(農(nóng)作物) grow rich and tall. Sometimes they tied long strings (細(xì)繩) and hooks (鉤) to their kites. Then they would fly the kites over water, letting the hooks hang down to catch fish.

　　003 Internet

　　We are all busy talking about and using the Internet (因特網(wǎng)), but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

　　Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks (網(wǎng)絡(luò)) didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system (系統(tǒng)) had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information(信息)could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.

　　At first the Internet was only used by the government (政府), but in the early 1970s, universities (大學(xué)), hospitals and banks (銀行) were allowed (允許) to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software (軟件) that made "surfing" (瀏覽) the Internet more convenient (方便).

　　Today it is easy to get on-line (上網(wǎng)) and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail (電子郵件) is more and more popular among students.

　　The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

　　D. Today it's still not easy to get on-line.

　　004 Pollution(污染)

　　The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modem traffic and modern communication means (通訊設(shè)備). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution (污染). To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.

　　Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up(用完) or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.

　　Many countries are making rules (法規(guī)) to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal (煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.

　　Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused (引起) by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.

　　The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.

　　1. Our world is becoming much smaller ___.

　　A. because the earth is being polluted day and night. B. thanks to science development

　　People began to live near one another. And so the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages. These villages grew very big.
