Reading is an activity people enjoy a lot in their free time. Some like reading newspapers, and others enjoy novels or comic books. I like reading about the lives of great poeple. This always gives me a lot of ideas on how to make my own life better.
Great people are remembered not because they were handsome or beautiful, but because they did not give up when their lives were difficult. They used every opportunity to change their lives and make the world better.
One good example is Orville and Wilbur Wright, the two brothers who invented the airplane. The plane has made the world into a small village. Hard work, not good luck, is the reason why the Wright Brothers could invent this convenient machine and become remarkable people. Today we wtil remember them when we see planes in the sky.
When I feel sad, stories of great people always help me feel better. This is why I enjoy reading about great people’s lives

Not long ago, I made up my mind to read a lot of books to get more knowledge. So I went to the library and 36 happily with several books. But after a few days, I felt impatient. The 37 of finishing all of them seemed impossible, because I always found it 38 to calm down to read a whole book. I didn’t know what to do with it.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012-2013學(xué)年陜西省西安市慶安中學(xué)七年級(jí)上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

All the wisdom of the times, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us in books, but we must know how to make use of this treasure. The unluckiest people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.
I’m very interested in people and finding out about them. Some of the most amazing people I’ve met could only  be found in a writer’s imagination, then in his book, and then, again, in my imagination. I’ve found in books new friends and new worlds.
Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the writer’s or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.
Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate(分開(kāi)的), in some way they are connected with each other. The same ideas, or related(相關(guān)的) ones, appear in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in books, but with different solutions(解決方法) according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other. They connect the past, the present and the future and have their own generations (age groups), like families. Wherever you start reading, you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the end, you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.
Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on(專(zhuān)注于) books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won’ t have fun. But if you put down a book you don’t like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won’t suffer during the process.
【小題1】Which of the following ideas may the writer of this article agree with?

A．You will never meet amazing people in your life unless you read.
B．You think actively instead of getting facts passively（被動(dòng)地）when reading.
C．You will get much delight from any book that you are told to read.
D．You can relax yourself by reading because it involves little thinking.
【小題2】What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A．We can often find something connected with ourselves in books.
B．Different writings at different times share the same characteristics.
C．The same problems will appear in different books with similar solutions.
D．Reading books which are written for your generation is more helpful to you.
【小題3】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?
A．To advise us to enjoy ourselves by reading.
B．To encourage us to make full use of libraries.
C．To encourage us to find out solutions in books.
D．To advise us to discuss books with other people.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2013屆浙江杭州黨灣鎮(zhèn)初級(jí)中學(xué)初二教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(cè)英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Before you can start speaking and writing in English, your brain must get enough correct English sentences. This is obvious（顯而易見(jiàn)的）.

There are two ways to get correct English sentences: listening and reading. Both are good, but reading is much easier than listening. With the help of a good dictionary, you will be able to understand English texts much more easily than movies. If you just read one book in English, you will see that your English has become much better. English phrases will just come to you without thinking when you are writing or speaking.

This is true for hundreds of words and grammar structures（結(jié)構(gòu)）. If you read in English, you can forget about grammar rules. Throw away your grammar book! You needn’t know the rules for the present perfect tense(現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)). Instead, read a few books in English, and soon you will feel that “I have seen Paul yesterday” is wrong. The only difference between you and native speakers is that they have heard and read more English sentences than you have.

1.From the first paragraph, we know that ________.

A．English is difficult to learn

B．if you have seen an English sentence, you can speak English

C．before you use English, you must know some English

D．everyone is a born English speaker

2.What is the best way to get correct English sentences according to the passage?

A．Speaking.

B．Writing.

C．Thinking.

D．Reading and listening.

3.In the writer’s opinion, we can grasp English grammar rules _______.

A．by reading English books

B．by reading grammar books

C．by writing and speaking

D．by learning grammar rules

4.The only difference between you and native speakers is that native speakers _______.

A．have parents as their English teachers

B．a(chǎn)re born to know grammar rules and phrases

C．read and hear more English than you

D．have a gift in learning English

5.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．It is important for us to know English words.

B．Reading is important for us to learn English.

C．English grammar is not so important.

D．The best way to learn English is going to England.
