九年级英语阅读理解专项训练15篇第1篇Sadness and happiness are often talked about by people in their spare time. Most people want themselves to be happy for ever, but few know how to find happiness. Others say if you own lots of money and success, you will be happy. However, money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. A famous a Greek thinker, Aristotle, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” That’s to say, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future. For example, getting into college or getting a good job, which we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others.Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping or help out with some things around the house for an elderly person.If you do above, you will be happy.1. How many suggestions of happiness are mentioned in this passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.2.

That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For over a quarterof a century,engineers have been making better computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday jobs wonderfully. It is widely used in factories, hospitals and banks. A computer can report,decide and control in almost every field. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer“think”like a man. With the help of a person,a computercan draw pictures,write music,talk with people,play chess,recognize voices,translate languages and so on . Perhaps computers will one day really think and feel.

Women never invent things. We do.”It is true that men have invented a lot of useful things: machines,radios and guns,too. But scientists now agree that women invented one very important thing. It has changed history. They invented agriculture. Before invention of agriculture, men were hunters. They went out every day. Sometimes they killed animals, sometimes animals killed them. Life was difficult and dangerous. Women had to go out every day,too. They collected corn, fruit and grasses. Then,one day more than 10,000 years ago, a woman dropped some grass seeds near her home in the Middle East. They grew –and the first wheat was born. The idea grew,too.Women planted corn and fruit trees. Then they could stay at home and look after the children and the animals. Women like baby animals. Scientists think that women kept the first domestic animals: digs, cows and sheep. The idea grew,too. Then their husbands did not have to go hunting for meat. They stayed at home.They built villages and cities. Civilization began. Min began civilization after women invented agriculture. 26．Before the invention of agriculture life was difficult because____________.A.hunters sometimes killed other huntersB.hunters did not always get meatC.women went out to hunt every dayD.animals sometimes killed the women and children27.From the passage we know that domestic animals are________A. animals that feed on grassB. animals that live in natural conditionsC. animals whose meat can be used as foodD. animals that are kept at home28.After the first wheat was born, women soon saw that they could _________.A. go out and look for foodB. go hunting for meatC. plant corn,and fruit trees at homeD. go out to collect corn and fruit29.

Jack sat down, and when the waitress came to him, he asked for some vegetable soup. The new waitress wrote this down in a little notebook and went to order it in the kitchen.There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and the new girl was very busy, but at last she came to Jack with a plate on a large dish. She put the plate down in front of him, and he saw that it was not the vegetable soup which he had asked for , but some fish and potatoes.The waitress was getting ready to turn away again, but Jacl stopped her,“Miss,”he said,“Idid not order fish and potatoes, Iordered vegetable soup.”“Oh,”she answered, “I thought that you asked for fish.”“No,”said Jack,“Look at the notebook which you wrote my order in and you will see that I ordered vegetable soup.”The new waitress looked everywhere in her little notebook, and at last she found Jack’order.“‘Table No.24’,”she read out ,“One vegetable soup.Yes,I am sorry,Igot confused. I shall change it.”She put the notebook down on Jack’s table, took out her pencil, crossed out the words“vegetable soup”and wrote“fish and potatoes”instead.

These are known as guide words. The one on the left-hand side of the page tells you what the first word on the page is. The one on the right-hand side of the page tells you what the last word in the page is. So if you are looking for a word in the dictionary, you first look at the guide words at the head of the pages. Then you will be able to tell whether or not the word you want is on the page you are looking at.You will notice that a dictionary very often gives several meanings for one word. How could you decide which of these meanings is the one you need? First, you must know what part of speech the word is in the sentence. Is it a noun or a verb? Is it an adjective or an adverb? A word can be used in a different way in a sentence, and so may have a different sense. Next, you must see which of the meaning will fit into the sentence. It is important to study the rest of the sentence carefully in order to find out the meaning of the word36. The two words at the top of any page of a dictionary________.A.are known as those printed in heavy typesB.are called those on the left-hand side of the pageC.are known as those on the right-hand side of the pageD. are called guide words37. If you want to know what the last word on the page is , you may_________.A.look at the word in the right-hand side of the pageB.look up it in the last part of the dictionaryC.look up it in the first part of the dictionaryD. look at the word on the left-hand side of the page38. A dictionary often _______.A.tells whether or not the word you want is on any page you are looking atB.gives several meanings for one wordC.prints word in heavy typeD. gives two words in every page of it39. We would decide which of the meanings of a word in a dictionary is the one we need in the following order:______________.A.1)find out what part of speech the word is in the sentence;2)learn which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence by studying the restof the sentence carefullyB.1)know which of the meanings of the word in the dictionary will fit into the sentence;2)see what part of speech the word is in the sentence;3)study the rest of the sentence carefullyC.1)looking for a word in a dictionary;2)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;3)tell whether or not the word we want is on the page we are looking atD.1)look at the guide words at the head of the pages;2)know what part of speech the word is in the dictionary;3)find out which of the meanings of the guide words will fit into the sentence40. If in the dictionary you look up “load”in the sentence “We use an inclined plane to load or unload a truck”and the dictionary says:1. n. a burden; 2. n. amount of work….; 3. vt. put a burden on or into; 4. vt. add extra weight to …..Which meaning of the word makes the right sense in the sentence?A. The first.B. The second.C. The third.D. The fourth（I ）Tom was a shopkeeper. He had a small corner shop. It was open from seven in the morning until eleven at night and sold many different things. Tom worked hard in his shop but he had a good business and he was happy.Then a supermarket opened across the street. The supermarket was ten times the size of Tom’s shop.The manager of the supermarket wanted to take people away from Tom. He found out what Tom’s prices were and then made his lower than Tom’s.People quickly stopped buying things from Tom’s shop. They bought everything from the supermarket instead. Soon Tom’s business was very bad and he was angry.“It’s not fair,”Tom thought,“I must do something to teach that supermarket manager a lesson.”The price of steak in the supermarket was $5.00 a pound. Tom put a sign in his window, “Steak--$4.50 a pound.”The next day the price of steak in the supermarket was $4.25 a pound, Tom changed the sign in his window. “Steak--$4.00a pound.”An hour later,the sign in the supermarket said, “Steak--$3.75 a pound.” Ten minutes later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Steak--$3.50 a pound.” Five minutes later the sign in the sup ermarket said,“Steak--$2.50 a pound.” Twenty seconds later the sign in Tom’s window said,“Stead--$1.00 a pound.”The manager of the supermarket ran cross the road into Tom’s shop.“This price cutting must stop,”he said,“Steak is costing me $4.00 a pound. I’m selling it at $2.50 a pound. I’m losing money every minute!”“I’ll stop cutting all my prices,”Tom said,“if you will stop cutting all yours.”The supermarket manager agreed, and the two men shook hands.Tom smiled.He had not lost any money on the steak .He didn’t sell steak at all.”41.

初中英语竞赛阅读题整合II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）AHayao Miyazaki was born in Tokyo on January 5, 1941. As a boy, he liked to read and draw cartoons. After graduating from university in 1963, Miyazaki joined the Toei Animation （动画⽚制作）Company. At Toei, he worked on many animated movies, like the famous Puss in Boots. In 1984, he made Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind, which was based on a comic book he wrote. Because this movie was so successful, Miyazaki was able to start his own animation company, Studio Ghibli.One of Miyazaki's most loved movies is My Neighbour Totoro, made in 1987. It is a children's movie, but many teenagers and adults like it too. The movie is about two sisters who become friends with a big, supernatural （神奇的）animal named Totoro. It is a very warm-hearted story, with many strange and interesting characters such as Cat Bus, a cat which is also a bus. Miyazaki's 2001 movie, Spirited Away, was even more popular than My Neighbour Totoro.All of Miyazaki's movies have strange but charming people and creatures. Many of his stories happen in worlds that are different from ours. However, they still show his ideas about real life. He often points out how humans hurt the natural world. He thinks people should change the ways how they live. This may be why so many people like his movies.51. What is the main idea of this passage? A. The movie My Neighbour Totoro. B.

These storms go around like a wheel（轮⼦）turning to the left. They have wind speeds of 60 kph or more. They can be very destructive （毁灭性的）. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Centre in Miami, Florida, looks out for hurricanes.When scientists discover a true hurricane, they give it a name. They can use either a man's or woman's name. Why should hurricanes have names? The names make it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its dangers.The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an international weather group, decides what names will be used. The WMO makes six lists （列表）of names, using the English alphabet. Each list is used for one year. When a hurricane happens, it gets the next name on the list for that year. For example, the first hurricane of the year might have the name Abel, while the second one could be Betty. The name lists do not include （包含）names beginning with the letters O, U, X, Y, and Z, since there are few names that begin with these letters. Asian countries use a different list. This list has a few personal names, but most of the names are of flowers, animals and trees.Why should hurricans have names? A. It sounds interesting. B. The names help people get information abouta hurricane. C. The names are only for the WMO. D. It is traditional.57. _________ decides what names will be used for hurricanes. A. The Tropical Prediction Centre B. A scientist C. The WMO D. Abel58. Which name would a hurricane never have? A. Rita. B. V eronica. C. William. D. Yanni.59.

A. books and buildings B. flowers and animals C. mountains and riversD. oceans and riversCDJs (disc jockeys) are the people who play and present music on the radio, or in a nightclub. A VJ (video jockey) is a person who introduces music videos on television.VJs were first seen on television in the early 1980s when MTV went on the air. As MTV became popular and the audience for music videos increased, different kinds of music video channels started broadcasting. By the 1990s, international music video channels like Channel V in Asia and VIV A in Europe had started.The VJs for the new international stations had to be chosen carefully. Although some VJs showed mostly local content （本地内容）, other VJs presented shows for international viewers （电视观众）. These VJs, and the material （素材）they presented, needed to be popular in several different cultures.One successful international VJ in Asia is Asha Gill. She is from Malaysia, but her parents and grandparents are from India, France, and England. She speaks three languages and has fans across Asia.When asked what makes a good VJ, many successful VJs have given similar answers. To be a good VJ you need to know a lot about music, you need to be funny, and you can't be shy.61. DJs play music _________, while VJs introduce music videos _________.62. When did VJs first appear on television?63. VJs for international channels should be chosen carefully because they have to be _________.The map below shows the central part of a town and some of its important buildings.

Casey rather enjoyed being around friends who had something in common with each other. They had their own school, bowling area, and movie theatre. She especially loved it when her dad would come home each day and greet her with a new joke and tickles （搔痒）.Today was different, though. When her dad walked into the room, he looked sad for some reason. He just kissed her on the forehead and told her mum that he needed to talk to her. Casey knew something was wrong.When her mum and dad came out of the other room, mum was crying. Dad sat down and began to explain that he has been told to go to Iraq to help with the war effort. Casey was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a moment. She began to feel tears in her eyes.Soon, the day came. Her dad was leaving. It was hard for Casey to believe that she wouldn't be seeing her dad for a whole year. They depended on （依赖）him for so many things. Who would fix the broken window? Who would greet her with jokes and tickles at the end of the day? Casey began to cry more than ever.68. According to the story, one thing Casey enjoyed on the base was that she and her friends _________.69. How did Casey know that something was wrong when her dad got home?70. How long would her dad be away?AIvan Fletcher loves crazy inventions. He writes a weekly magazine column called “Un-believable Inventions”.“One of my favou rite inventions is the Butter Stick. It looks like a stick of glue, but it's butter. You rub it on the bread instead of using a knife,” he says. “Another cool invention is Duster Slippers for pets. You put these special shoes on your dog or cat. As the ani mal runs around your house, it collects dust from the floor. Very useful!” A lot of these inventions come from Japan —the home of the crazy invention.Ivan says that the British also invent a lot of crazy things. “The other day I found an invention call ed a Cat Seat Saver,” he says. “The Cat Seat Saver looks exactly like a sleeping cat — but it isn't real. You put it on your seat if you have to go to the restroom. No one will sit in your seat because they think there's a sleeping cat on it. Pretty cool!”However, does anyone buy these things? Yes. Lucy Wade from the shopping website/doc/acdfe47d31b765ce050814d7.html says that their customers are young, professional people.“They buy these small things mostly for fun,” she says. “They are usually looking for a pres ent for a friend's birthday or a silly gift for a colleague.”If you have an idea for an amazing invention, send it to Lucy atlucyw@/doc/acdfe47d31b765ce050814d7.html .Fish RadioThis useful radio is completely waterproof, so you can listento it in the shower.

He walked quickly to the front counter. The store's owner, Ernie, jumped out of his seat to greet Kyle. He was the store's first customer of the day.“Good morning, sir!” Ernie said. “What can I help you with?”“Well, I...,” Kyle started to say.“Wait, don't tell me,” Ernie (a)_________ him. “You're looking for a... a new puppy... for your daughter's birthday. Right?”“Not really, I just...”Ernie didn't let him finish. “Ah, I've got it. You just opened a new business, and you want some fish for your office. I have some very nice tanks over here.”“Actually, I...” Kyle was starting to look very (b)_________. His face had a strange expression on it.“No fish? Ah, a cat! You look like a cat person. At Ernie's Pet World, we have the best breeds（品种）. Take a look at this Persian —long, white hair, and look at that cute expression. She's looking at you. She's thinking, …Take me home. Take me home.?

Kathy Miller talks about her night as a seat-filler.I was told to arrive at the theatre at noon, wearing my dress for the evening. There were about 200 of us seat-fillers, all very excited. We were told what we should and shouldn't do (for example, “Don't talk to the stars”), and then we waited until five o'clock. That's when the stars started arriving. Through the crowd, I saw Gwyneth Paltrow (beautiful in a blue gown), and Mel Gibson (He's a lot shorter than he looks in his movies!).The show started at six o'clock. We had to stand outside the doors. Then, when someone came out to go to the bathroom or have a cigarette, we were told to go and sit in his seat. The show was three hours long, and I only sat down five times. In the end, I was really tired. But I was happy because, during the evening, I sat behind Jim Carrey (He's very tall!) and close to Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts.

Besides, I loved school lunches.Many students don’t share my love. A lot of students bring their own lunches to school. Their mothers might make them sandwiches or leftovers（剩饭）from last night’s dinner.But not me! I couldn’t wait for the school’s hot lunch. At the beginning of each month a calendar was handed out. On it was the hot lunch schedule for that month. I used to circle the days I was excited for. Chicken fingers. Mexican casserole（焙盘）. Every Friday they served pizza. With the lunches they sometimes had little potatoes we call tater tots（薯条）.I loved waiting in line and talking with my friends. For only $ 1.35, which is very cheap, you would get a tray with different foods on it and a cup of milk. I always got chocolate milk. But don’t tell my mother, she didn’t know. Then you’d carry your food to your lunch table and sit down with your friends. Boys rarely sat with girls. So I always stayed with boys most of the time. We’d talk about sports and TV while we ate lunch. When we finished we usually played a game with a paper football until we got in trouble.In school lunch was more than a time to eat. For me it was the best part of my day!阅读短文，选择最佳答案。
