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’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.

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.

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.

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.

阅读回答问题Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题)Eric was standing in front of a large grey house in the countryside. He had just been dropped off by his mum, who left after telling him that he was going to spend the next twelve days there with no TV, no mobile phone and — worse of all — no computer.Suddenly, a man appeared at the entrance of the house. When he saw Eric, he went up to him immediately. ‘You must be Eric. Welcome to the camp,’ said the man confidently. ‘I’m Tony, the camp leader, but you will call me “Sir”. Now tell me why you’re here.’Eric quickly replied, ‘My mum made me come!’ When Tony looked at him angrily and did not say anything, Eric realized his mistake and added, ‘Sir!’‘And do you know why your mother sent you here?’ asked Tony.‘She thinks I spend too much time online. Sir,’ answered Eric. ‘It’s not just her opinion — it’s the truth! Look at you — pale, unfit, and definitely not getting enough sleep. You’re here because you think the virtual world is much better than the real world. But you’re wrong! The real world has much more to offer. At the camp, you’re going to go hiking, rowing, rock-climbing and stay outdoors most of the time,’ promised Tony.Eric’s heart sank.‘But it’s not going to be all fun and games,’ Tony continued. ‘We have rules here. If you break them, you’ll get punished. But you won’t simply get detention (课后留校), and you can forget about suspension (停学) — you’ll never be sent home early! Instead, you’ll clean the toilets, wash the dishes or do an extra hour of exercise!’‘Oh Mum,’ sighed Eric. ‘What have you got me into?’1．Did Eric’s mother send him to the camp?_____________________________________________________2．Where did Eric meet the camp leader?_____________________________________________________3．Why did Tony look at Eric angrily?_____________________________________________________4．What does the underlined sentence “Eric’s heart sank.” mean?_____________________________________________________5．The camp in the passage was a place with both fun and rules, wasn’t it?_____________________________________________________6．What changes might Eric have after the camp?

(根据短文内容回答下列问题)A Backcountry AdventureSunday, July l0thWe are back from our three-day camping trip to the Shenandoah Valley. Mom and Dad had been worried about our family’s reliance on computers, cell phones, and video games for entertainment. So they decided a camping trip would help us overcome our dependence on electronic devices. I knew we’d have to be resilient (适应力强的) in order to find a way to survive without the comforts of home.When you camp in the backcountry, you could only bring necessities that you needed to survive, such as food, clothes, a camp stove, fuel, rope, a map, and a water container. At first, I was surprised that we weren’t bringing bottled water with us. Then my heavy, overstuffed backpack made me realize we’d soon use up any supply we could carry. Instead, we’d have to boil water from nearby streams.Our first day in the wild was out of expectation. We scrabbled up rocky paths and waded in an ice-cold stream. Colourful wildflowers waved at us. I felt like I had stepped into a dreamypainting. After all that exercise, an intense hunger burned in my stomach. Mom’s homemade snacks had never tasted so good.At night, the darkness seemed like a black curtain. I tried to read with an electric torch, but I couldn’t concentrate. I finally fell asleep to a chorus of chirping crickets (蟋蟀鸣叫声中).By our last day, I had blistered (长水泡的) feet and bug-bitten arms. I was ready to go home.I couldn’t wait to play computer games. But a funny thing happened. Soon after I started my favorite game, I lost the interest. So I walked outside to get some fresh air. Mom and Dad’s plan had worked after all. Right then I decided to spend more time outdoors.13．The author spent three days camping with his parents, didn’t he?____________________________________________________14．Why did they start the camping trip?____________________________________________________15．What did they take with them on the trip?____________________________________________________16．How did the author feel about the scenery in the wild?____________________________________________________17．List two difficulties the author met with during the camping trip.____________________________________________________18．What does the author mean by saying “Mom and Dad’s plan had worked after all.”?____________________________________________________Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)Far away across the sea lies a country called Holland. Holland is a very low country, and it lies close to the ocean. Nothing but the strong dykes (堤坝) keep the angry waves away from the very doors of the houses in Holland. People must carefully guard the strong sea walls. They know that their homes and their lives would be in danger from the water of the sea if the dykes were broken.One day, a little boy named Peter was playing in the garden by his home in Holland when his mother called him. “Peter,” she said, “I want you to carry this basket of cheese to your grandmother. Go straight upon your way, without playing. You must be back home before supper.”Peter took the basket that held the cheese, and went on his way. He did not stop to gather thepretty flowers that grew by the wayside, nor to play with the boys who called to him from the field. He did what he was told, and soon he reached his grandmother’s house.It was already almost dark. He left his basket, gave his grandmother a kiss and left to go home. His path lay beside the dyke. In the quiet evening air, he heard a sound which made his heartbeat quick and fast. Peter knew the meaning of the fearful sound. It meant that 83 .Before morning, even before Peter could get men to help, the water would be pouring over the land. What could a boy do? Quickly, he ran to the spot from which the water trickled (滴、淌). He pushed his hand into the hole in the dyke. Then he called aloud for help. He listened. No answer came to his call, but he could hear that the water was no longer dripping. It became dark. He became too tired to call for help…People found him in the morning, pale and faint, but bravely holding to his post. “He has saved us all!” they said. “Thank God!

For me, it is more than twenty dollars per hour.Like other eighteen-year-old girls, I chose to work in a clothing shop. On the first day, I was trained to fold and organize platform after platform of clothes. The work didn’t seem easy to me because everything had to be done in an accurate way. I felt a little impatient because I couldn’t get it right the first couple of times. The manager told me not to be impatient and taught me skills on how to finish the work well. After hundreds of tries, I had the clothes folded perfectly. Then it took me thirty minutes to get them all looking uniform. Now, I fold and organize clothes in the shop every day, and I am able to do them well. Through this experience, I’ve learned patience can help me in the work.Helping customers and connecting with them are the things I love most in the shop. About three weeks ago, I helped an old lady who was looking for a special dress. She told me exactly what she was picturing—a blue dress with long sleeves and a lace neck. We didn’t have any such dress, and when I explained that to her, she wasn’t very happy. Instead of getting impatient, I tried getting to learn about her interest first. We shared our love of the fashion show. I also asked her what the dress was for, so I could help her get the clothes she liked. Everything I did worked. She found other items she liked and finally bought some new blouses and jeans worth of $300. This experience has taught me how to meet customers’ needs.I’ve experienced frustrations and challenges in the work. To do well, I must learn to deal with them. The work experience changed me a lot and helped me in other aspects of my life as well. 25．How old was the writer when she worked in a clothing shop?____________________________________________26．Why did the writer think the work was difficult?____________________________________________27．Who gave the writer a hand and taught her how to finish the work well?____________________________________________28．What was the old lady looking for at first?____________________________________________29．How did the writer manage to meet the customers’ needs in Paragraph 3?____________________________________________30．According to the writer, what changes could help her in other aspects of her life?(No morethan 15 words)____________________________________________参考答案1．Yes./Yes, she did.2．At the entrance of the house.3．Because Eric forgot to call him“Sir”./Because Eric said impolitely4．It means Eric lost hope.

最新版名校学习资料集锦全国各大名校资料集合中考英语考前阅读理解强化训练阅读理解(一)1. Unless we spend money to spot(认出，发现) and prevent asteroids(小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星体) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.But $500 million worth of new telescopes right now, then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk are (i) How likely the event is; (2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare but if one did fall. It would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these bid asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “it’s that simple.”The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets(舰队，车队) of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “the world has less fear from doomsday(毁灭性) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them.” Said a New York Times article.1.What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?A. They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B. They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C. They are more asteroids than meteoroids.D. Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.2.What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A. It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B. Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C. Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D. It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.3.What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the course ofasteroids?A. It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B. It may create more problems than it might solve.C. It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D. Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.4.We can conclude from the passage that __A. While pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world.B. Asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future.C. The worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime.D. Workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth.5.. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage?A. Optimistic(乐观的)B.Critical(批评的)C. Objective(客观的)D. Arbitrary(武断的)2. The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them.The reality is very different. Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act, many of them still get paid less than men.They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won’t consider. And they lose they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children.All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government’s women’s unite.The bigg est problem isn’t equal pay in work places such as factories. It is a sort of work women do.Make a list of low-paid of jobs_ then consider who does them.Try nurses, secretaries, cleaner, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies, and child care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there?Yet some of those jobs are really important. Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start.So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer--- because they are women.This is not going to be put right overnight. But the Government, which employs a lot ofthem,, and other bosses have to make a start.It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st Century still treating women like second-class citizens.1.Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as men ____.A. after 25 yearsB. according to the lawC. as a result of the Equal Pay ActD. because women are as strong as men2.We can learn from the text what the problem really matters is ____.A. that the women interrupt a career to have childrenB. what sort of work women doC. because they are womenD. what an unfair pay women get in workplaces.3.Which of the following best describes the writer’s idea?A. Women should get equal pay for equal work to that of men.B. Women should strengthen加强themselves.C. The Government ought to protect women against getting paid less than men.D. Some of the jobs that women do are of great importance.4.When the writer says “This is not going to be put right overnight”, he means ____.A. we must solve the problem very quickly.B. there is not completely fair thing all over the world.C. we need a long time to change the unfair reality.D. the problem that women lose will be solved soon.5.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?A. Work to give women a fair pay deal.B. Time to change the situation.C. Equal work, equal pay.D. Should women be treated like second-class citizens?3. There have never been many adventurers. You van read stories about men calledadventures. But they were really businessmen. There was something they wanted----- a lady, or money, or a country, or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventure is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet.There have been many half-adventurers. And they were great men. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure.In the big city of New York, Romance and Adventure are always waiting.As we walk along the street, they are watching us. We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street, we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door, instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner, eyes look toward us, or hands are raised, or fingers point. Adventure is offered.But few of us are ready to accept. We are ready to do only the things we do every day. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on; and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then, when it is too late, we are sorry that we have never known true Romance and Adventure.1.In the author’s opinion, there are ____ true adventures.A.manyB. fewC. noD. a few2.In what way does the author say a true adventure is different from a business man?A.He is ready for anything he may meet.B. He is not interested in money.C. He enjoys excitement while a business man does not.D. A true adventure is romantic, while a businessman is dull.3.According to the passage, a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives ina quiet street means____.A. a numberB. a fightC. wealthD. adventure4.The passage doesn’t mention it, but we can infer from the passage that when most peoplemeet an offer of adventure, they will ____.A. grow angry but curiousB. accept the offerC. grow embarrassed and reject the offerD. be frightened and cry for help.5.When do most people wish that they had known romance and adventure?A. When they are young.B. When it involves a beautiful lady or handsome man.C. When something interests them strangely.D. When they reach the end of a long quiet life.4. Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures ----those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff.（悬崖）Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.(生存).Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.1. A best title for the text is ____.A. Dangerous sports: what and whyB. The boredom of modern lifeC. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?D. The need for excitement2.More and more people today ____.A.are trying activities such as bungee jumpingB. are climbing the highest mountainsC. are coming close to death in sportsD. are looking for adventures such as traveling into unknown places3.In bungee jumping, you ____.A. jump as high as you canB. slide down a rope to the groundC. attach(系) yourself to a rope and fall to the groundD. fall towards the ground without a rope4.People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because _____.A. they have a lot of free timeB. they can go to hospital if they are injuredC. their life is short of excitementD. they no longer need to hunt for food5.The writer of the text has a ____ attitude towards dangerous sports.A.Positive(肯定的)B. negative(否定的)C. neutral(中立的)D. nervous(紧张的)5. The report came to the British on May 21,1949. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship(战舰) in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships supplies from the United States to war-torn England.The British had feared such a task. No warship they had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 small guns. She could move at 30 nautical(海上的) miles an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.The battle didn’t last long. The Bismarck’s first torpedo(鱼雷) hit the Hood, which wentdown taking all but three of her 4,419 men with her.But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged. Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from the air. The Bismarck was hit.On the morning of May 27, the last battle was fought. Four British ships fired on the Bismarck, and she was finally sunk.1.The Bismarck sailed into the Atlantic Ocean ____.A. to sink the HoodB. to gain control of FranceC. to cut off American supplies to BritainD. to stop British warships reaching Germany2. Many people believed that the Bismarck could not be defeated because she ____.A. was fast and powerfulB. had more men on boardC. was under Luetjens’ commandD. had bigger guns than other ships3.

Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young lady’s family racked among(挤身于) the best of Philadelphia’s social(社会各界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her father’s anger, she opposed(反对) him with courage and at last made him change his mind. Many Cassatt gave up her social position and all thoughts of a thousand and a family, which in those times was unthinkable for a young lady. In the end, after long years of hard work and perseverance(坚持), she became America’s most important woman artist and the internationally recognized leading woman painter of the time.1.How did Mr Cassatt react(反应) when his daughter made her announcement?A.

I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then I coul d make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.It had been snowing heavily that I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone… even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal (丑闻) . I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. “I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her !” he said, and burst into tears again.1.The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means____.A. expectB. understandC. see clearlyD. hear clearly2.

More than 6000 children were expelled(开除) from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.The department gave a report on the expulsions as saying handguns accounted for 58 per cent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996—97, against 7 per cent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 35 per cent for other types of firearms.“The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down(严惩)” on students who bring guns to school, “Education Secretry Richard Riey said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded(坚强的) about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”In March 1997, a 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old using hand-guns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Missisippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducab, Kentucky.“Most of the expulsions(开除), 56 per cent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13, 34 per cent were from junior high schools and 9 per cent were from elementary schools.” The report said.1.From the first paragraph we can infer that in the US schools ____.A. students enjoy shootingB. students are eager to be soldiersC. safety is a problem C. students can make guns2.

It helps us understand the world better if we know a little geography and have some mapsat hand. But with maps in Chinese only, misunderstanding is possible in studying world events.

Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture?” Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(非洲小猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.1.Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea.____.A. A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentencesB. Other animals can invent toolsC. Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behaviorD. The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think2. “Culture” refers to ____.A. book language of behavior we learnB. the patterns of behavior we learnC. traditional ideasD. people’s good habits3. A chimpanzee’s use of tools me ans ____.A. animals are the same as human beingsB. animals can be as clever as human beingsC. the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer existsD. animals may have a culture like our own4. Which of the following statement is true?____.A. The ability to use language separates human beingsB. We can be certain that animals have a culture tooC. Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture tooD. Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong5.The first sentence of the second paragraph “Our culture lets 7us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses “ means ____.A. as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesB. our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesC. our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lostD.our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still haveThe key :1.

【英语】初三英语英语阅读理解汇编专项训练100(附答案)及解析一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解Sun bears（马来熊）are the smallest of the world's eight bears species（物种）. They have a black coat and a white or golden colour on their bodies. Their homes are in the tropical（热带雨林）of Southeast Asia. They live in trees and eat both plants and animals. They can grow to be1.4 metres in height and 65 kilograms in weight. They usually live alone and are happy to spend most of their time by themselves.Scientists studied sun bears in the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center. They found that although sun bears live alone, they have developed a surprising social skill. They can copy （模仿）other sun bear's facial expression （面部表情）as a form of communication. They can even copy exact muscular （肌肉的） movements that other sun bears make— such as making a face.The ability to copy facial expressions is found in humans, gorilla's （大猩猩）, some monkeysand some other animals. But until now, only humans and gorillas have the ability to exactly copy facial expressions. However, scientists found that sun bears can copy facial expression as well as humans and gorillas. This surprised them because sun bears are alone and they have no close relationship with human beings.Although they live alone in the wild, the sun bears in the study often played gently with each other. Sometimes they played with faster actions as hitting and biting. Scientists are still not surewhat messages the sun bears were sending to one another.（1）According to the passage, where do sun bears usually live?A. In caves.B. In trees.C. By the river.D. On the ice.（2）From the passage, we can learn something about sun bears EXCEPT that _______________.A. they like to live alone in the wild and only eat animalsB. they can copy other sun bears' facial expressions for communicationsC. they can copy exact muscular movements of other sun bearsD. they have no close relationship with human beings（3）Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. A warm home on the earthB. A brave animal in the forestC. A new friend of human beingsD. A surprising skill of sun bears【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）D【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章主要介绍了世界上八个熊类物种中最小的马来熊的栖息环境，生活习性以及他们所拥有的能力。

九年级英语任务型阅读专项训练(1) The Green Tree ProjectIn 1996,39 American children started a very in interesting project-the Green Tree Project. The students began the project by gathering walnuts(核桃) in the fall. The nuts were buried(埋) in cages in the school garden in mid-November. (1)In this way, the seeds could be kept cool and moist(潮湿) for several months before they started growing. In February. The seeds were dug up, so they could begin to sprout(发芽). Sprouted seeds were kept in fridges, so they could be stopped from growing until the time to plant. (2)This helped keep the trees about the same size at planting time. In March, sprouted seeds were planted in paper soft drink cups. Each student was asked to plant 12 trees.(3)Then the trees were carefully watered and watched. The first walnut trees began to appear in about a week. The students found this part of the project very exciting. On April 29th , the trees were transplanted(移植) to the lake. (4)It took them only 90 minutes to plant all the trees. It was so interesting to see a treeless area turn into a forest right before their eyes!1.将(1)(2)处的英文句子翻译成汉语。

It has greatly changed with thedevelopment of society.Walking was the main way until humans used animals to carry things. More than 5, 000 years ago people made the wheel successfully. This made it possible for animals to pull carts. People can travel faster. They also traveled by water, at first with simple wooden boat.The steam engine (蒸汽机) was invented in the 1700s. It was an important thing in transportation history and it led the transportation into the modern times. Steam-powered boats and ships could easily travel without wind. On land, inventors used it to drive trains. This made railroads develop fast. The late 1800s saw the first successful bicycles and cars. This made quick and easy transportation possible to more people than ever before. People who bought cars needed more and better roads.In 1903 Wilbur and Orville Wright flew the world’s first plane. The invention of the jet engine in the1940s made air travel the fastest transportation in history.The development of transportation has brought problems, however. Traffic jams, accidents and air pollution are becoming more and more serious. Choosing a green way to travel may be a thing we can do for the earth. Let’s do it!任务A：补全第1—4题的信息。

Buy Nothing DayFor many people, the last weekend of November kicks off the holiday shopping season. But a growing number of people are celebrating a different kind of holiday. It’s called Buy Nothing Day. On this day, people are encouraged not to spend any money at all. The movement was started in 1995 by a group who cared about the environmental effects of shopping. “If we buy something, we think we are helping the economy. But we’re killing the planet, and wasting our resources,” said one organizer. “For one thing, just think about all the paper and plastic we’re wasting on shopping bags.”There are Buy Nothing Festivals in most major cities. Participants go to big shopping centers and malls and hand out leaflets about the bad effects of shopping. Other participants cut up their credit cards in public.Some organizers are unhappy this year because major TV networks will not give them air time to advertise Buy Nothing Day. Although it’s hard to advertise this event, over one million people in at least 65 countries are expected to take part in the next Buy Nothing Day.1．When did Buy Nothing Day start?__________________________________________________________2．Why did some people start Buy Nothing Day?__________________________________________________________3．Why do some participants cut up their credit cards in public?__________________________________________________________4．Will major TV networks give organizers air time to advertise Buy Nothing Day this year?__________________________________________________________5．How many people are expected to take part in the next Buy Nothing Day?__________________________________________________________I like playing the piano very much. Carl Smith became my new piano teacher when I was fourteen years old. In one of my lessons, he asked me how long I practiced the piano every day. Isaid three or four hours a day.“Well, please don’t do that again!” he said to me loudly. “When you grow up, you are going to be much busier. Practice in minutes! Five or ten minutes before school, and it will become a part of your life.” I did as he told me. And I played the piano very well later.Years later, when I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write. But for two years, I wrote nothing down on paper. My excuse (借口) was that I had no time.

【Volunteering】“Volunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person’s life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.”Mason, a volunteer said.National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization’s expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.★Start out slowly, don’t add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone’s life.★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.★Work with a?veteran?volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization’s expectations.★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn’t work, don’t give up and you’ll surely find the right opportunity.Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people’s lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person’s life.”31.

It’s a part of her life, something that can happen in the same room where she colors and watches movies.It was crucial that our daughter was part of that experience, not just for her, but for Linda and me as well. Everything we wanted for her—trusted care providers; a very familiar environment; continuing support; good food —were things we needed but didn't have the first time Linda gave birth.
