九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off.

Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.4. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. keep onB. end upC. take pride inD. look forward to5. Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第（四）篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1. When did the erhu become a popular instrument?A. In the Tang Dynasty.B. In the Song Dynasty.C. In the Ming Dynasty.D. In recent years.2.

The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第（五）篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

In geographical newspapers第（八）篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1.

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第（十）篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character. His mother had given up her job when she married. When Steven was six, his father took him to Philadelphia to see his first film, The Greatest Show on Earth. Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America. Films such as Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind succeed because they are about ordinary people.After all the years Steven Spielberg had spent dreaming about getting into Hollywood.

初中英语阅读理解训练及参考答案（通用9篇）中考英语阅读理解及解析篇一Advertisers Perform a Useful Service to the CommunityAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism. Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous,’ they say, ‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’ which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch, match and dispatch’ column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’ column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1. What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”。

中考英语阅读理解专项训练(含答案)
中考英语阅读理解专项训练（含答案）“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough, so he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published, and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life, but soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.So, in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world.1．Which is the correct order of the following events?①Tolstoy served in the army.①Tolstoy got married.①Tolstoy wrote War and Peace.①Tolstoy opened a school.①Tolstoy became a well-known writer.A．①①①①①B．①①①①①C．①①①①①D．①①①①①2．Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young?A．To prepare for his books.B．To achieve perfection.C．To make a lot of money.D．To show his wisdom.3．Tolstoy thought he would learn a lot from his workers because they were ________.A．poor B．honest C．friendly D．Patient4．Which of the following is TRUE about Tolstoy?A．He wrote books about his childhood and army life.B．He believed the rich people understood his faith.C．He opened a school for the workers on his land.D．His earliest books showed his value for family life.5．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing.B．Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the world.C．Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything.D．Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life.In ancient times, there was a king who loved flowers. His palace was always decorated with beautiful orchids (兰花) and other flowers. As the king grew older, he knew that one day he would have to give up throne (王位). So he had to find someone to rule the country.The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the country and give every person a single orchid seed. He then announced that the person who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was especially excited about the news because he had experience in growing flowers himself.David planted his seed in a pot and put it in place where there was a lot of sunlight. He watched it carefully every day, but as hard as he tried, his flower simply would not grow.Finally, it was time for everyone to give their flowers to the king. David took his empty pot to the palace. “Your Majesty, I am sorry to say that I could not grow an orchid, but I hope you can see that I tried my best,” he said.The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge (法官).

These programmes give us a good look into the lives of different people in Britain. Also they are a very cheap way to make programmes. Here are some of them.Strictly Come DancingIn the show some famous people learn to dance with a professional dancer. Four professional dance experts give them scores and comments (评论) about their dances. After that, the public vote(投票) for their favourite couple. The two least favourite have to dance again and the judges decide who stays in the competition and who leaves. This show is very popular with people of all ages in the UK.Come Dine With MeEach week four people prepare dinner in their home for the other players. Each player then gives the cook a grade out of 10 for the food. The winner gets ￡1,000. Sometimes the food is terrible and the players are very rude to each other.World’s Strictest ParentsBadly behaved British teens are sent abroad to live with a super strict family for a week. The teenagers have to follow the rules of their host family and go to the local school. After seven days the teenagers return home and their parents tell us whether their behaviour is better or not.There are often a lot of cries and shouts in this show, but it can be worth watching too. 11．In which programme do the public vote for their favourite couple?A．World’s Strictest Parents.B．Don’t Tell the Bride.C．Strictly Come Dancing.D．Come Dine With Me.12．What does the underlined word “Dine” mean?A．To dive.B．To eat.C．To have a trip.D．To have a show. 13．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The dance experts give the dancers scores and comments.B．Not all the food is delicious in Come Dine With Me.C．The winner may get some money in Come Dine With Me.D．Badly behaved teens will stay in the host family for one year.14．What do teenagers have to follow in their host family?A．The rules.B．The prizes.C．The cities.D．The rooms. 15．What does the passage mainly about?A．To tell us how famous these TV programmes are.B．To introduce some popular programmes in Reality TV.C．To invite students to World’s Strictest Parents.D．To invite people to take part in these programmes.I like writing. I like meeting people. I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist(记者).Sounds simple and easy, right? But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration (挫折).Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story…Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, though, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas (跳蚤). They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways.Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it.16．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist?A．Writing different kinds of stories.B．Meeting different people. C．Discovering new things.D．Staying away from pain and frustration. 17．According to the third paragraph, how might the writer feel when she saw her story in the paper?A．Disappointed.B．Happy.C．Scared.D．Encouraged. 18．What does the underlined word “rewards” mean in Paragraph 3?A．回报B．惩罚C．编辑D．帮助19．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?A．How a journalist writes a good story.B．A journalist can sometimes help others and bring about changes in people’s lives.C．A journalist works long hours.D．It’s necessary for a journalist to care more about the poor.20．What can we learn from the article?A．Working in journalism is easy.B．Journalists are usually well-paid.C．The writer loves her job as a journalist.D．The writer encourages people to work in journalism.Close your eyes and picture a scientist. Does an image of a man show up in your mind?It is hard to ignore that even in the 21st century, the “scientist equals male” stereotype(成见) is still there. In the science world, women’s voices are often unheard.According to UNESCO, only 35 percent of global STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students in higher education are women. In pursuing science and technology careers, women are more likely to be treated unfairly because of their motherhood and skin color, noted Teen V ogue.In November, at the 4th World Laureates Forum(世界顶尖科学家论坛) held in Shanghai, some of the world’s top female scientists announced an initiative(倡议), encouraging institutions around the world to promote gender equality(性别平等) in STEM areas.“Role models of women scientists need to be better represented on important international stages and allow their voices to be heard as a way to encourage youths,” Lenore Blum, a female scientist from the US, said at the forum.In December, Talk With Lu Jian, a Chinese TV show, launched a series of programs under the title of She Power in Tech. The show interviewed Chinese female scientists, includinggeneticist(遗传学家) Fu Qiaomei at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lü Zhi, a professor of life sciences at Peking University, and Rong Yi, a chief designer of the Long March 2F rocket.“These female scientists share a strong passion for science,” said Lu Jian, the TV show’s host. “They are making a pathway(通道) for the next women scientists.”Actions should also be taken to create a better environment for women working in the field ofscience and technology, noted Science and Technology Daily. For example, they should be given more resources, join in decision-making and gain support for their research during maternity(生育).21．According to UNESCO, the number of women who study STEM is ________ the number of men.A．equal to B．far more than C．much less than D．close to 22．Lenore Blum thinks that ________.A．more female scientists should find different jobs B．women scientists are good role models C．scientists should be known by more people D．women are good at studying science 23．She Power in Tech is a program that ________.A．shares stories of women scientists B．teaches basic scientific knowledge C．picks up future women scientists D．spreads the latest scientific developments 24．What problems are female scientists facing now?a. Having fewer resources than male scientists.b. Bearing no hardships compared with males.c. Lacking opportunities to make decisions.d. Being unable to work while having a baby. A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcdChina’s Twenty-four Solar Terms is considered to be the country’s fifth great invention. It has been added to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录).The Twenty-four Solar Terms was invented by ancient Chinese. At that time, most people were farmers. They had to learn about the movement of the sun in a year and do the farming accordingly. The Twenty-four Solar Terms shows the changes of climate, seasons and some biological phenomena (生物现象). For example, Rain Water is between February 18th and February 20th. When it comes, the temperature goes up, snow melts and there will be more and more rain. Start of Spring, Start of Summer, Start of Autumn and Start of Winter are openings of the four seasons. Awakening of Insects is between arch 5th and March 6th. During this period, many living things come out after a long winter of silence.The Twenty-four Solar Terms shows ancient Chinese people’s wisdom. Now it is added toUNESCO’s heritage list. This means that it is accepted and will be accepted by more and more people in the world.25．Why did ancient Chinese invent the Twenty-four Solar Terms?A．Because they wanted to tell the differences of four seasons.B．Because they wanted to learn something about the sun.C．Because they wanted to help them do the farming.D．Because most of them were farmers.26．When is Rain Water?A．It is between February 18th and March 20th.B．It is between February 18th and February 20th.C．It is between March 5th and March 6th.D．It is between March 18th and March 20th.27．What happens when Awakening of Insects comes?A．Summer begins.B．The temperature goes down.C．There will be more and more snow.D．The snake comes out after a long winter sleep.28．How many solar terms are mentioned in the article?A．Two solar terms are mentioned.B．Four solar terms are mentioned.C．Five solar terms are mentioned.D．Six solar terms are mentioned. 29．According to the passage, which of the following is Not True?A．The Twenty-four Solar Terms shows that ancient Chinese people were wise.B．The Twenty-four Solar Terms is one of the four great inventions.C．The Twenty-four Solar Terms is added to UNESCO’s heritage list.D．The Twenty-four Solar Terms is accepted in the world.Movie-making factories are called studios. Like all other businesses, they have to follow the rules of good business. There is a person, called “the top man”, running the studio. He is usually someone with a powerful personality. His power of character is necessary so that the “boss” can deal with famous stars and rich investors(投资者). Some movie stars can only contract(签合同) with one studio. They cannot work for another. Big studios like Columbia, Fox,Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important movie-making companies in Hollywood.Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film needs many weeks. Shooting a film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, castles, and forest are all built of wood and cardboard(纸板盒). Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.Most people go to see a film because the film stars they like are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real. People feel that they themselves are among the people in the film. 30．How many big studios are mentioned in the passage?A．3B．4C．5D．631．The scenes have to be reacted and refilmed many times because ________.A．it takes time to make a film B．it is difficult to make them realC．it is not easy to make them good enough D．several hundred people work together 32．Who is the most important person in a film studio?A．The top man running the studio.B．An experienced cameraman.C．An excellent actor.D．The director of the film.33．According to the passage, most people go to see a film because ________.A．they like the scenes in it B．their favourite film stars are in itC．they want to know who is the director D．they want to learn its story34．We can probably see the passage in a(n) ________.A．newspaper B．magazine C．advertisement D．storybookOn a wild mountain, two goats met on a road just over a high cliff (悬崖). The road was so narrow that there was neither room for them to pass each other nor to turn round and go back. What do you think the two goats did?One of them with great care lay himself down on the narrow road, pressing as close to the rock as he could. Then the other goat softly walked on his friend, till, safely past him, he could lightly jump away.The goat that had lain down then stood up slowly from his place, safe and sound, free to jump again from rock to rock, and enjoyed the sweet grass on the hills happily.However, two other goats met on the banks of a rushing river. A tree had fallen across the river, and became a bridge from one side to the other.The two goats looked at each other, and each wished to pass over first.They stood for a while with one foot on the tree, each thinking that the other would turn back. But neither of them would give way, and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge!They then began to push and fight with their horns (角), until at last their feet slipped, and both the goats fell into the running river.Both might have been saved, if either of them had known how to give way at the right time. 35．How did the first two goats pass the narrow road safely?A．One goat turned around and went back.B．One goat jumped over the other and walked away.C．One goat lay down on the road so that the other could first leave.D．They stood there and passed the road carefully together.36．What was the bridge made of?A．A tree.B．A stone.C．Some stones.D．Some trees. 37．What happened when the two goats met on the middle of the bridge?A．They pushed and fought.B．They lay on the bridge.C．They looked at each other.D．They stood on the bridge.38．The underlined word “slipped” in Paragraph 7 means ________ in Chinese.A．浸湿B．打滑C．磨损D．断裂39．The passage tells us that ________.A．we should face the challenge in life B．we should be careful to cross the bridge C．we should give way to others at the right time D．we should be brave to climb the mountainsThe first time I saw Kai, she was sitting in my front yard, hugging my dog Harley. She andher husband Sean had just moved into a small house down the road from us. I thought she was drawn to (被吸引) Harley’s friendly personality, just as he was drawn to hers. From the second time I talked to her, I knew Kai would be a cherished (珍爱的) friend. Her smile and good cheer made me feel better just being around her. Her voice was always full of happiness.It didn’t take long before Kai was beloved by everyone in our neighborhood. Children and adults visited her home often. Although she already had four cats, she also adopted (收养) a stray (流浪的) dog.When we visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our troubles and then say something so wise, and we would leave her home with our hearts singing. Sometimes I would read her my stories and she would always encourage me to keep writing.All of this time, though, Kai was slowly dying from cancer.
