　　初三英语阅读练习题(二)

　　EVERYTHING has two sides. One side of SARS is already clear. It is a deadly disease, whichcauses fear. There were 2,601 cases (病例) recorded on the Chinese mainland on April 24,according to government report. 115 people have died and numbers keep rising.

　　But, there is another side.

　　SARS is a reminder (提醒) of how fragile life can be. Suddenly, it’s not just the old peoplewho are thinking about death. Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow.

　　Wang Xinying, a student in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province came into contact (接触) with asuspected (疑似) SARS patient in mid-April. He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks. “Watching TV about more and more SARS patients dying, I never knew that death could be soclose. Life is valuable (珍贵的) and I’m going to treasure (珍惜) every single day,” he said.

　　SARS teaches people to be grateful, both for their own lives and for others. Doctors andnurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected (被感染的) patients. As a result,more than one fifth of SARS cases in China are medical workers.

　　Xu Bing, a student of Beijing No. 5 Middle School wants to be a doctor in the future. “Although they certainly know the dangers, doctors and nurses kept working hard on savingpeople’s lives. I’m deeply moved by what they have done. I think they are real heroes.” he said.

　　SARS also teaches sympathy (同情). The past few weeks have been terrible for Chinesepeople. But there are far worse things than SARS in this world, such as war, earthquakes androbberies. Think of the Iraqis, who have been living terrible lives for 20 years. Think of how theAmericans felt on 9.11.

　　And finally, SARS offers the chances to grow. All different kinds of people and thegovernments are joining together to work in this difficult time. When this passes, China and itspeople will have learned great lessons.

　　1.What does “Everyone now realizes there might not always be a tomorrow” mean?

　　It means life is easy to _____ and we must ______ our life.

　　2.How long was Wang Xinying told to stay at home?

　　He was told to stay at home for about _______ a _______.

　　3.Why can medical workers be easily infected?

　　Because they have to be with infected patients _______ and _______.

　　4.What do we learn in the difficult time?

　　We learn nothing is difficult if we ___________.

　　初三英语阅读练习题答案

　　1.lose, love/treasure。短文第三自然段的意思是说，SARS的流行提醒人们：生命是脆弱的。突然间的死亡不只是老年人所面临的。现在每个人都意识到明天不总是有的。也就是说，“生命是很容易失去的，我们大家都应当热爱(珍惜)生命。”

　　2.half, month。本小题所提的问题是“王信英被告知在家里呆大约多长时间?” “He was told to stay at home for at least two weeks.”一句中的“at least two weeks”(至少两个星期)即是答案。但在解题时，要注意抓住两个空格中间的冠词a，从而可以联想到由其构成的时间状语，否则就会不知所措。

　　3.day, night。根据“Doctors and nurses, for example, have to spend all their time with infected patients.”中的可以联想到医生和护士们日日夜夜地 (day and night)与SARS病人在一起。故可得答案。本题也应从连词“and”入手，联系题中信息方能找出答案。

　　4.join/work, together。短文最后一段说，在SARS严重威胁人们生命健康的这一段时间里，不同国家的人和政府携手合作，终于战胜了SARS。文中的“All different kinds of people and the governments are joining together to work in this difficult time.”这句话对答案有暗示作用。
