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 \"blue period\"). Later, he used more red and pink colours (his \"rose period\"). Many of his other paintings are called \"cubist (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 \"blue period\"). 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 可知康定斯通过使用强烈的颜色基表达感情的 , 故选A。

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason at all. That's how thousands of people start their day at Laughter (笑声) Clubs around the world and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy. The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. \"Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,\" says Dr. Kataria. \"Everyone is naturally good at laughing-it's the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.\" There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over l,300 in the world.
Many doctors are also interested in the effects (效果) of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.
So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest, I wasn't interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha.” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can't tell the difference between real laughter and unreal laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.
Surprisingly, it worked! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real and some people just couldn't stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed-and comfortable I felt. So if you're under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!

A. After ten minutes. B. After ten hours. C. After ten seconds. D. After ten days. (5)The article mainly tells us __________.
A. young children laugh much more often than adults in a day B. laughing is one of the best ways to stay healthy
C. many-doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health D. real laughter and unreal laughter are both good for health 【答案】 (1)A (2)D (3)C (4)A (5)B

The phenomenon (现象) of a bike rider getting hit by an opening car door is so common that it has its own term: dooring.
According to a study in Chicago, as many as 1 in 5 bike accidents are caused by car doors—in total, there is nearly one dooring each day in the Windy City (Chicago).
Even when the bike riders try to turn to the other direction to escape from the opening doors, they can end up getting hit by cars.
Then how can we reduce such kind of accidents? Is there any practical way to solve that problem? Yes. It's the Dutch Reach, which has been popular on the Internet recently. The Dutch Reach is a practice where instead of using your near hand—usually the driver's left hand—to open your car door, you use your far hand—your right hand.
By doing that, you will turn your body around. And you turn your head and shoulders back, so you are looking directly out. First, pass the rearview mirror. And then, you are very easily able to look back and see if there are coming bicycles or cars or anything else. The simplicity of the approach is part of its intelligence. (1)What is dooring? A. The opening of the car door.
B. The accidents caused by opening the car door. C. That bike riders are hit by opening car doors. D. The accidents that happened in the Windy City.
(2)__________ of bike accidents are caused by dooring according to the study. A. 1% B. 5% C. 20% D. 25% (3)Which hand do you use to open the door in the Dutch Reach? A. The left hand if I am the driver. B. The right hand if I am the driver. C. The right hand if I sit at the back. D. The right hand if I sit next to the driver. (4)What does the underlined phrase \"rearview mirror\" mean in Chinese?

Why does the sky change colors?
What is the sky? How high is it? What color is it? What birds can live above it? These questions are difficult to answer, aren't they?
In fact, the sky has no color. Then why does the sky look blue?
We know that there is air around the world. When planes fly, they need air to lift their wings. Planes can't fly very high. That is because the air gets thinner when they go higher. The same will happen to us if we go high enough. If we go up about 1, 200 kilometers from the earth, we'll find no air there. Some birds can fly into the sky as high as a plane, but they cannot fly or live without
air.
Looking up above us, you will see the blue sky with white clouds. It is usually light blue. The color would be bluer when you see on the top of a high mountain. And you will see fewer clouds in the sky between you and the sun.
Sometimes the sky doesn't look blue. When the sun rises and falls, you will see red, orange, and other colors in the sky. Such are the most beautiful moments of the day.
Who can see the colors of the sky high above the earth? The astronauts! They can see those beautiful colors of the sky from the outer space. However, before flying into outer space, they sit in a spaceship high above the earth, and there is no air at all. The sky would be that dark and its color would be black.
Now you may understand that we see colors because the air scatters(使散射) the sunlight. light travels through the air. Without air, there would be no light or colors. (1)Planes can't fly as high as possible because_________. A. the sky is blue B. the wings are heavier C. the sky has no color D. the air becomes thinner
(2)When you stand on the top of a high mountain, you will see_________. A. more air B. the bluer sky C. more colors D. more clouds (3)In Ningbo, we might see many colors in the sky at _________during the day. A. 6: 00 a. m. B. 10: 00 a. m. C. 1: 00 p. m. D. 2: 00 p. m. (4)The sky changes colors because____________. A. it's colorful itself B. the world is colorful C. the sunlight has colors D. the air scatters the sunlight 【答案】 (1)D (2)B (3)A (4)D
【解析】【分析】本文介绍了天空为什么是有颜色的。
