One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of the cars,driving trucks,building roads,or filling cars with gas.Americans won't live without cars!Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car.However，some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution caused by the car.The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to people's health. One way to get rid of the polluted car is to design a car that does not pollute.That's what several of the large car factories have been trying to do.But to build a clean car is easier said than done.Progress in this field has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engine（发动机）by something else.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars.Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by car,we'll have to make some changes.Americans，for example,have to cut down on the number of their total cars.They are encouraged to travel and to go to work by bicycle.Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean.But this change doesn't come easily—a large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.Althoughcars have led us to a better life,they have also brought us new problems.（1）Some large car factories in the US are trying to build a new kind of car which_______.A.is clean in itselfB.is used to clean streetsC.is easier to makeD.does not pollute the air（2）If the number of cars cuts down,the most serious problem to American workers is to_______.A.have no work to doB.improve their environmentC.go to work by bikeD.make their factories richer（3）The writer wants to tell us that_______.A.riding a bike is the only way outB.the number of cars must be cut downC.people wouldn't live without carsD.cars bring us not only a better life but also serious problems（4）Which fact does the passage provide？A.About one sixth of American workers are working in car factories.B.The best way to get rid of air pollution is to change the car engine by something else.C.It isn't easy to change the way of life in the US.D.In the US bikes will surely take the place of cars in the future.（5）Which is the best title（标题）for the passage?A.A New Way to Get Rid of Polluted AirB.Cars and Polluted AirC.Many Serious Problems in the USD.Changes in Car Production2.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

九年级英语上册阅读理解10篇人教版(含答案)
九年级英语上册阅读理解10篇【一】Since the start of COVID-19, many people have been stuck(困住的) indoors.Online classes and working from home mean sitting around a lot.We already know that if we don’t move much, we get fatter, we get heart problems and maybe we get diabetes(糖尿病). But new studies have shown that it could be bad for our mind, too.A study of 937 American adults during COVID-19 found that about one-third of them sat around for more than 10 hours per day. It reported that people who sat for too long often showed more symptoms of depression(抑郁的症状).Another study studied children aged 12, 14 and 16. It found that the longer they sat, the higher depression scores they would get by age 18. According to the study, if eighteen-year-old children sat too often, they had depression scores 28 percent higher than those who were more active.Scientists are not sure yet about the connection between too much sitting and depression. But an expert named Mats Hallgren said, “sitting for too long can slow blood flow(流动) in the body including blood flow to the brain. It might also influence the growth of neurons(神经细胞) in the brain. And couch potatoes might do other unhealthy things while sitting on the sofa, such as eating on junk food. All these may lead to depression.”Is there any good news? It’s easy to deal with the problem. Aaron Kandola from University College London, UK, said “all kinds” of movement might help, even light activity.“It is great to exercise and play sports,” said Kandola. “But anything you can do to avoid sitting for too long will help with mood(情绪), stress and thinking clearly.” The key message is just to move more, more often.（）1. What will probably happen if we don’t move much?A. We will become heavier.B. We will be healthier.C. We will feel relaxed.（）2. According to the study, _______ American adults sat around for more than 10 hours a day during COVID-19.A. about 200B. About 300C. About 500（）3. What might “couch potatoes”mean in paragraph 5?A. 沙发上的土豆B. 血液流动迅速的人C. 坐在沙发上懒得动的人（）4. What can we learn from the passage?A.Sitting for too long is good for teenagers’health.B. More exercise might make people happy and think clearly.C. It’s difficult to solve the problems caused by sitting for too long.（）5. What’s the purpose(目的) of the text?A. To encourage people to move more often.B. To introduce the symptoms of depression.C. To explain the reason why people sit too often.【二】“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade(柠檬汁).” This is a common saying in English and it encourages positive attitude(积极的态度). Lemons tastes very sour. However, by adding water and sugar to them, you will be able to enjoy a delicious drink.Because of COVID-19, life has given you a lot of lemons lately. It’s autumn time. Nature is fascinating and the weather is cool. You should be outside playing. But if you do that these days, you will probably become ill. You have no choice but to stay indoors. So, what should you do? Just sit there and eat lemons, or learn how to make lemonade?Home quarantine(居家隔离) is giving people the chance to do things that they didn’t have time to do before, such as reading, learning to cook, taking up their hobbies and spending more time with families. For younger people, the home quarantine could also be a chance to learn an important life lesson directly: While life can be difficult at times, it can still be enjoyed if you have the right attitude.There are some things you can do to keep a positive attitude. First, stay healthy. Don’t stay up late or sleep too long. And do some exercise every day. Second, make a time plan for study and hobbies, or just some quiet time for yourself. Third, care about others. Your parents may have much stress these days, so don’t make their lives any more difficult by, for example, arguing with them.The pandemic(疫情) will finally end, but you will always remember it as a big event in your life. Hopefully, it will make you and all of China’s younger people stronger and more positive so that you will forever be known as the “lemonade” generation(一代), and not the “sour” one.（）1. How does the writer start the text?A. By giving some suggestions.B.By telling his experience.C. By explaining a saying.（）2. In the writer’s eyes, the underlined word “lemons”in paragraph 2 means _______.A. fruitsB. troublesC. tricks（）3. Younger people could do the following things during home quarantine EXCEPT(除了) _______.A. exercising in the parkB. taking up new hobbiesC. learning an important life lesson（）4. To keep a positive attitude during of COVID-19, we can _______.A. study day and nightB. develop healthy living habitsC. care little about our parents（）5. What can you infer from the text?A. Like father, like son.B. An apple a day keeps a doctor away.C. Life is about learning to dance in the rain.【三】The two boys, Tom and Huck, hiding upstairs(楼上), were very frightened(惊吓的) because they worried about being found by Injun Joe and his friend. Through the hole in the floor, the two boys saw the men eat and talk. Then the men were tired and fell asleep. Tom and Huck lay there for a very long time. Finally, the two men woke up and lifted up a stone in the ground and took out some money they had stolen. Then Injun Joe lifted up another stone and found a box.“What’s this?” Injun Joe asked.The two men pulled the box out of the ground and opened it. The two boys,Tom and Huck, couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw there was much money in it. They were very excited.“There’s thousands of dollars in the box!” said his friend.“It must have been left here by Murrel,” said Injun Joe.“What will we do with it?”“We’ll take it to my hideout(隐匿处).”“Number one or number two?”“Number two, under the cross.”Then Injun Joe and his friend saw some tools in the corner and decided to go upstairs. But the stairs(楼梯) broke when Injun Joe stood on them! So the two men left the house and went towards the river. Tom went home as quickly as he could.The next day, the two boys remembered the “Number two”, thinking this must be the number of the room in the hotel. They got all the keys they could find anywhere. But Tom discovered the door was not locked. He opened it!—Adapted(改编) from The Adventure of Tom Sawyer （）1.Why were Tom and Huck very frightened?A. Because they worried about being found.B. Because they stole Injun Joe and his friend’s money.C. Because Injun Joe and his friend were looking for them.（）2. After they saw much money in the box, Tom and Huck felt very _______.A. frightenedB. surprisedC. worried（）3. What would Injun Joe do with the money?A. He would throw it away.B. He would hide it in the ground.C. He would take it to his hideout.（）4. Which of the following is the right order?①Injun Joe lifted up another stone and found a box.②Two boys upstairs saw the men eat and talk.③The two men went towards the river.④Two boys saw so much money in the box.⑤The stairs broke when Injun Joe stood on them.A. ②①④⑤③B. ②⑤④③①C. ④②①③⑤（）5. From the story, we can know _______.A. Tom followed the men when Injun Joe and his friend left the house.B. Tom thought “Number two”was the number of the room in the hotel.C. Tom opened the door of the room in the hotel with the key that he found.【四】The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health. This is because of pigments(色素). And they reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone “sees red” when they are angry.Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects. And then they carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees(蜜蜂) can see colors humans cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.Animals also use colors for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors so that they won’t be seen by predators. Take the hare (a type of wild rabbit) for example. It changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colors as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on.So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure. Color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.（）1. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that _______ cause(s) human skin to change color.A. healthB. pigmentsC. sunshine（）2. Flowers use _______ to attract bees, and bees carry _______ from one flower to another to make them live on.A. colors; leavesB. leaves; colorC. colors; pollen（）3. The underlined word “predators”in Paragraph 4 means _______ in Chinese.A. 捕食者B. 受害者C. 藏匿者（）4. Which is WRONG about animals’using color for their own need?A. They protect themselves from predators.B. They use colors to attract predators.C. They warn predators to stay away.（）5. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To describe animals’ways of life.B. To encourage us to study color in nature.C. To introduce the uses of colors for life on earth.【五】Finland lies in the northern part of Europe. It is not only the hometown of Santa Claus, but also rich ground for heavy metal (金属) music. For every 100,000 people, there are 70 metal bands, according to Medium. Every year, thousands of “metalheads” get together at Finland’s many metal festivals, especially during summer. In 2019, Finland held its first Heavy Metal Knitting (编织) Competition. Twelve groups from eight countries took part in it. Many music lovers don’t like heavy metal music because of its rudeness and loudness. But why does this form of music become so popular in Finland?Where you live makes you who you are. The cold and sometimes awful weather make the Finnish people become more and more interested in this heavier form of rock. “When someone is in the cold and dark environment for long periods of time, it is only natural that some form of depression (忧郁) will start to set in,” the website A Metal State Of Mind reported. “How do many Finns deal with this depression, and than metal.”According to Medium, most Finnish people are emotionally restrained (情感克制的). The Finns do not easily express their feelings when they talk. Whatever feelings — soft or hard — they feel, they keep them inside. For them, emotional introversion (内向性) is a form of behavior in Finland.“I feel that the introversion also has to do with the fact that we don’t want to tell personal secrets to others. It has not been socially acceptable to show great feelings, such as anger or sadness.” One has to appear ‘strong’ at all costs, “Ida-Katharina Kiljander, one of the lead singers of a metal band Mournful Lines, told Medium. “It is difficult to discuss our feelings, but still we need a way to deal with these anger or sadness.”（）1. How many heavy metal music bands took part in the Heavy Metal Knitting Competition in 2019?A. Seventy.B. Twelve.C. Eight.（）2. What does the underlined sentence Where you live makes you who you are. in paragraph 2 mean?A.一方水土养育一方人。

There are many wetlands（湿地）in China and some of them have become the world‘s important wetlands. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng，Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve（自然保护区）is in them. More than 700 milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world，but every winter you can see some in the Red-crowned Cranes Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine，too. They are really good places for wildlife（野生生物）。
Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily，more and more people are beginning to realize the important of wetlands and wildlife. Every year，on February 2nd，many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

The best title for the passage is _______.A. China‘s Wetlands Have All Entered the World’s ListB. Wetlands—Home for Wildlife and Human BeingsC. Special Animals in the Chinese Yellow Sea WetlandsD.

第二题Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”？It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs，some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument，if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos，back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.The game is easy. When the music starts，the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction，of course，they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow，they should walk slowly.The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops，the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on，he drops out. Then，before the music starts again，one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again，one more player will be out.At last，there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。
