9年级下中考专项练习之阅读填空1Money comes in different forms. Cash is used in real life. But when it comes to online business, some prefer virtual currencies(虚拟货币)，Among them, bitcoin is the most famous one. All the advantages of Bitcoins make it the safest way to use without any worry of the risk. Created in 2009 by a Japanese programmer, bitcoins are produced by computers and are not controlled by any government or bank. The total number of bitcoins is 21 million. They can be used to buy products in computer games. In China, bitcoin trade has developed quickly, making up 80 percent of the world’s total. But recently, bitcoins caught people’s attention for another reason: There will be no more bitcoin exchanges in China . That’s because bitcoins were also used for illegal activities. For example, WannaCry, a computer virus(病毒), hit tens of thousands of computers in May. It required the victims(受害者) to pay the hackers lots of money using bitcoins, otherwise it would destroy the files in their computers. Paying with bitcoins left no personal information for the police to find the people behind the attacks.阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词。

牛津译林版九年级下册阅读提升专题练习一、完型填空Parents today are wealthier than their parents and they want their children to have more than what they had. Yet parents often ignore (忽略）to give their children what they had when they were young.For example, today’s generations o f children mostly have their own private ___1___ with a television, their own cell phone, their own computer, and finally when they are __2__ enough they will even have their own cars. As a result of all of these things, children do not ___3___ these gifts as much as previous generations did. ___4___ , children are often __5__ just spoiled(被宠坏的) , and all these things give them ___6___ enjoyment when they really need some ___7__ to their own development. Finally, children __8___ these short-term activities in order to fight against their boredom, and as a result of this, kids ___9___ shorter periods of attention with little ___10__.The obvious question that you may be asking is probably that: ___11___ patience is a virtue, then why don’t parents ____12___it?In today’s society, it is far easier to make children lose concentra tion than to teach personal development __13__ and that’s a common problem. For example, it is much easier for parents to buy a new toy or turn on the television for their children than to __14___their curiosity (好奇)in a natural way. This strong desire to know the world will lead them through self-learning, by which they would slowly value the ___15___ of hard work and patience.Basically, the easiest method for parents to teach patience to their children is not by buying them things, but by giving their children an opportunity to learn what they are interested in. Thus, parents can teach their children the same hard l essons that they have painfully learned too. The point is, realize what they lack and take action immediately.1. A. teachers B. doctors C. houses D. bedrooms2. A. clever B. old C. rich D. good3. A. prepare B. understand C. value D. accept4. A. Besides B. Otherwise C. Somehow D. Therefore5.

As a result, facial expressions meet with cross-cultural misunderstandings.The researchers studied cultural differences in understanding facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of different expressions and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, hateful, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants understand those facial expressions with their own method.It turned out that Easterners focused much more attention on the eyes and thus made significantly more errors than Westerners did. "This result is probably a reflection ofcultural difference in how we use and understand facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to express emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universally the same of human emotions. From here on, examining how cultural factors have influenced these expressions will bring about better understandings. Otherwise, when communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves at a loss.1. The discovery shows that Westerners ___________A. consider facial expressions universally the same.B.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth.C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways.D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions.2. What were the people asked to do in the study?A. To classify some face pictures.B. To get their faces impressive.C. To make a face at each other.D. To observe the researchers' faces.3. Compared with Westerners, Easterners are likely to ____________________A. do translation more successfully.B. examine the eyes more attentively.C.study the mouth more frequently.D. read facial expressions more correctly.4. What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Eye as the Window to the SoulB. Effective Methods to Develop Social SkillsC. How to Increase Cross-cultural UnderstandingD. Cultural Differences in Reading Facial ExpressionsBABDCA hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’—— where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards （病房）because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo—— which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS——to have it removed from the premises(道馆).Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said, “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize t hat the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said.There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the g ame. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety.Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”1. It seems that Pokemon Go isa game______. A. designed tohelp patients in hospitalrecover soonerB.helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart diseaseC.encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoorsD.warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked2. The A&E department is incredibly busy because________.A.more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E departmentB.doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficientC.players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E departmentD.players’ arriv al disturbs the work of the A&E department3. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_______.A. hurtB. disturbedC. trappedD. threatenedCDCDThe sun is shining when I get on No. 151 bus. We passengers sit jammed together in heavy clothes. No one speaks. That’s one of the unwritten rules of Chicago . Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to hide behind our newspapers. The phenomenon is striking: people who sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their distance.As the bus approaches the Magnificent Mile, a voice suddenly rings out: “Attention! Attention!” Papers rattle (发出细小声). Necks crane (伸长). “This is your driver speaking.”We look at the back of the driver’s head. His voice has authority.“All of you put your papers down.”The papers come down, an inch at a time. The driver waits. The papers are folded and placed on our laps.“Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead.”Amazingly, we all do it. Still, no one smiles.I face an older woman, her head wrapped tightly in a red scarf. I see her nearly every day. Our eyes meet. We wait, unblinking, for the next order from the driver. “Now, repeat after me…” It is a command, deliver ed in the tones of a drill sergeant (操练军士). “Good morning, neighbor!”Our voices are weak and timid. For many of us, these are the first words we have spoken today. But we say them at the same time, like schoolchildren, to the strangers beside us.We smile and can’t help it. We have said it; the barrier has been broken. Good morning, neighbor. It is not so hard after all. Some of us repeat it. Others shake hands. Many laugh.The bus driver says nothing more. He doesn’t need to. Not a single newspaper goes back up. I hear laughter, a warm sound I have never heard before on bus No. 151. This day is starting off better than most.1. On hearing the sudden utterance of “Attention!”, the passengers ___________. A．stopped reading and put down their newspapers immediatelyB．looked up from the newspapers to see who was speakingC．sat still without responseD．were frightened2. The underlined word “commuting” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ___________.A．daily traveling between home and workB．long-distance rideC．communication technologyD．behavior patterns3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The passengers on the crowded bus were so absorbed in reading their newspapers that no one spoke.B．The passengers were physically close together but mentally they kept each other at a terrible distance.C．The passengers didn’t follow the driver’s instruction at first.D．When the bus driver said nothing more, the passengers picked up and read their newspapers again.4. What would be the best title for the text?A．The Warmth of CommunicationB．The Exchange of InformationC．The Power of ObservationD．The Attitude to LonelinessBABA。

One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”. Depression hits one person in five around the world. Over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the world's population will be suffering from a serious depression．A recent research shows that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults.The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of teenage health to investigate(调查) the relationship between media(传播媒介) use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time was twenty-one.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games of radio etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.The study didn’t explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December, the journal Social Indicators Research published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people. The study found that happy people are more likely to be socially active, to read, to take part in religious services and to vote.1. The survey shows that of all the media uses.A. most teenagers prefer to listen to the radioB. teenagers enjoy watching TV very muchC. computer games are teenagers’ favouriteD. magazines are mentioned in the survey2.The result of the research seems to prove .。

The sun was truly shining. Cali was great, the people were friendly and helpful. One thing I know about Colombia before I came was the coffee. I drank it everyday while dreaming about South American Adventure in my cold, wet hometown of England.What I wasn’t prepared for was the beauty there. Even the bus ride was a pleasure. I never I would say like this in South America. The landscape was so unexpected, I didn’t imagine Colombia to have this much beauty. There lay fresh mountain waterfalls as well as luminous green hills at every turn, it was so amazing!Bogota was my next stop. In the beginning, I thought it was a boring city nothing different from any other. Then I opened my eyes and my heart. It attracted me. The smiles from the locals were infectious(有感染力的), love poured from their hearts.For me, Bogota and the Colombian people changed my view on everything. I took a walk alone one night to pick up some goods. It was dark, and I was in a strange neighborhood. Yet all I couldthink about was how safe I felt, I almost felt like I was in my town. People smiled and carried on with their own business. I walked more slowly and stayed for longer, that moment, I knew I had to change foreigners’ opinion on Colombia.Thinking about the last month is Colo mbia, I couldn’t believe how much I had fallen in love with it. I’ve done seven countries in seven months and over twenty-five in my lifetime, and Colombia is right up there at number one! It was like a holiday romance. I will always love Colombia and anyone that tells you it is dangerous has obviously never been there before.1.. __________ Impressed the writer most when he was in Cali.A.

How do we know, for example, that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?The key to these questions is "evidence", which means the facts, signs or objects that make you believe something is true.Sometimes evidence means actually(实际地) seeing(or hearing, feelings, smelling ...) that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help. The "evening star" looks like a bright twinkle in the sky, but with a telescope(望远镜) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling ...) is called an observation.Often evidence isn's just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there's been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!) actually observed it. But detectives can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect. If a person's fingerprints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn't prove that he did the murder, but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence.Prediction(预测) helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started.People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real evidence.What can we do about all this? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself: "Is there any evidence for that?" And, next time somebody tells you that something is true, why not say to them: "What kind of evidence is there for that?" Remember, always think carefully before you believe a word.1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A: What you see directly is real evidence.B: Prediction helps to prove something if it is true.C: People should always believe their inside feelings.D: Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope.2. Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 4?A: To explain what prediction is.B: To tell what observation is called.C: To introduce how detectives work.D: To prove evidence is not just observation.3. The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 5 means _______.A: finally B: probably C: completely D: luckily4. What's the best title of the passage?A: Evidence speaksB: Scientists make predictionsC: Inside feelings help get ideasD: Observation offers the factsBDAACMany young people all over the world love to travel and see the world. Have you heard of backpackers? They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one rucksack(背包) and comfortable walking boots. They buy local food in supermarkets to save money and at the same time become friends with local people.Some people prefer adventure tours. Brave people may try bungee jumping from the bridge overlooking the Victoria Falls in Africa with only a rope around their legs.Some enjoy the challenge of rock climbing in the Alps in Switzerland. Others may go snowboarding in the Rocky Mountains in the USA.Have you ever heard of an ecotourism (生态旅游)? It rr;eans a holiday in which people come close to nature but are very careful not to damage the nature beauty or living things in the area. How can this be possible? Let's read an interview with people who enjoyed a swimming with dolphins tour.Interviewer what was the most exciting part ofyour holiday?Sharon from South Africa I felt excited when I heard the sound of wild dolphins approaching me in the water and then swimming directly under me. An image I will never forget.Xavier from Portugal There were two dolphins below us swimming downwards. One stopped and looked back at me as if to say 'What are those strange beings?" Fantastic!Interviewer Did you feel that your holiday helped local people and areas to keep their beautifulenvironment?Jane from New Zealand The hotel and the whale and dolphin watching comparues employ(雇佣) local people. They used to hunt those whales and dolphins, but now they can eam money from tourism and don't have to kill them. Not many boats are allowed at the same time so these animals aren't bothered. The boat companies also work to educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful creatures.Helen from England I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel which could cause pollution and make the sea less clean.Well, what do you think? Thousands of people visit the Forbidden City or the Great Wall of China every year. Do you think that's a good thing, or do you feel that China's important historical sites can be damaged?
