科目：初中英語 來源：2011-2012學(xué)年江蘇省南京市鼓樓區(qū)初三中考二模英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Children who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With the help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills.

“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”

George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, comprehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.

     Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy

—television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.

     Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being interested in it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.

【小題 1】According to George, reading aloud to children_______________.

  A. helps them correct mistakes

  B. is helpful to their reading

  C. is parents’ first duty to their children

  D. can get children out of television’s attraction

【小題2 】The underlined word (in Paragraph 4 ) means something that_________

  A. can improve children’s reading

  B. can help children’s right way of reading

 C. can make children interested in reading

 D. can make children not attentive

【小題3 】Which of the following is important according to the fourth paragraph?

  A. Reading skills.                       B. Reading speed.

  C. Reading materials.                 D. Reading environment.

【小題 4】If the passage is not completed, which of the following can follow the fifth

paragraph?

  A. Parents choose reading materials for their children.

  B. Advice is given to control their children.

  C. What TV programs children can watch during reading.

  D. How children improve their reading by themselves.

【小題 5】 Which one would be the best title for the passage?

  A. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.

  B. Parents Are Their Child's First Teacher.

  C. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.

  D. How to Improve Children's Reading Ability.

One day after school Mr. Tillman found Philo Farnsworth making drawings on the blackboard in the school-room.

“What are you doing?” Mr. Tillman asked with interest. “ What are these drawings?”

“I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are drawings of my first inventions.”

Mr. Tillman smiled to himself, “What is your invention?”

“I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air,” The boy answered. “Please just let me tell you about it. You are the only person who can understand what I have done.”

In 1922, even radio was new. The United States had fewer than 30 radio stations. But in 1922, a boy of 16 showed his teacher drawings for television!

In 1926, Philo worked as an office boy in Salt Lake City. Many important businessmen came into the office where he worked. One of these, George Everson , was from San Francisco.

One evening Everson asked Philo to have dinner with him. After the meal, Philo began talking about his idea for Television. At first, Everson was not much interested in the invention. He listened only to be polite.

Many years later, Everson wrote a book telling about that evening with Philo. “As Farnsworth talked, he seemed to change,” Everson wrote, “His eyes lighted up , and he was no longer shy.” Talking freely about his invention, Philo Farnsworth was no longer an office boy--he was a scientist.

At the end of the evening, Everson was more interested than ever in Philo. And he was also interested in Philo’s idea for television.

After talking with Philo , Everson returned to San Francisco. There he brought together a number of important businessmen . Philo told them about his invention.
