　　初三英語閱讀理解檢測題一

　　In a small village in England about 150 years ago, a mail coach ***郵車*** was standing on the street. Around the coach many people were talking to one another about it.

　　Mail coach did not come to that village so often in those days. People had to pay a lot of money to get a letter. The person who sent the letter did not have to pay. The person who got the letter had to pay the postage ***郵資***.

　　“Here’s a letter for Miss Alice Brown,” said the mailman. Everyone turned to a girl of about eighteen who was standing by the coach. “I’m Alice Brown,” she said in a low voice. The mailman gave her the letter.

　　Alice looked at the envelope for a minute, and then handed it back to the mailman.

　　“I’m sorry I can’t take it,” she said. “I don’t have enough money to pay the postage.”

　　The people standing around were very sorry for the girl. They were silent for a while. Then a gentleman came up to the mailman and paid the postage for Alice’s letter.

　　When the gentleman gave her the letter, she said with a smile, “Oh, thank you very much, sir. This letter is from the young man I’m going to marry. His name is Tom. He went to London to look for work. He has to get enough money for our marriage ***結婚***. I’ve waited a long time for this letter, but now don’t need it. I don’t have to open the envelope because there is nothing inside.”

　　“Really?” the gentleman said in surprise. “How do you know that?” “He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope. Look, sir, this cross in the corner means that he is well, and this circle means he has found work. That’s very good news.”

　　The gentleman was Sir Rowland Hill. He did not forget Alice and her letter.

　　“The postage to be paid by the receiver has to be changed,” he said to himself. He thought and thought for many years. At last he had a good plan.

　　“The postage has to be much lower,” he said. “What about a penny ***便士*** for a letter? And the person who sends the letter pays the postage. He has to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope.”

　　“A good idea!” people said when they heard of his plan.

　　The Government decided to adopt ***採納*** the plan. The first postage stamp was put out in 1840. It was called the “Penny Black”. It had a picture of the Queen on it.

　　初三英語閱讀理解檢測題答案

　　1. A 文末“The first postage stamp was put out in 1840.”一句只是講了第一枚郵票是1840年發行的，並未說出發明人是誰。考慮到故事發生在150年前的英國，故唯有A才符合題意。

　　2. B 姑娘將信遞給郵差發生在Sir Rowland Hill幫她付郵資之前，故選項D不對。根據姑娘所做的解釋，答案顯然非B莫屬。

　　3. A 答案就在“The people standing around were very sorry for the girl.”之中。

　　4. A 由“He told me that he would put some signs on the envelope.”一句及下面的說明，不難想象這是在小夥子離開倫敦時就告訴過姑娘的。

　　5. B Sir Rowland Hill從姑娘所講的故事中受到啟發，決定改變一下由收信人付費的方式。選項A有較大的迷惑性，但考慮到“The Government decided to adopt the plan.”可予以排除。

　　初三英語閱讀理解檢測題二

　　People often say, “Children can’t do math problem, it’s because parents can’t do theirchildren’s homework.” Here’s an example to show what I mean.

　　The other day my daughter brought home her math homework. “I have to subtract ***減*** 179 from 202,” she said.

　　“It’s quite easy,” I said. “You put the 202 over the 179.”

　　“But we need a 10 here. Where is the 10?”

　　“I don’t know where the 10 is. Let’s just subtract 179 from 202. Nine from two is three.You carry one and add it to seven. Eight from zero is two. The answer is 23.”

　　“We can’t do it that way. We have to use the 10.”

　　“Well, I’m going to call your teacher to see how she subtracts 179 from 202.”

Thetwo in the left-hand column counts for hundreds. Are you clear?” But I didn’t think I was clear.

　　I hung up and found my way to the medicine box. My head was now hurting. I startedputting pills of medicine into my mouth. “How many did you take?” my wife asked. “I took oneand then I took another…I know one and one was two, but don’t ask me what it is now.”
