Social media plays an important role in our lives. We check our socialmedia accounts（账户）such as emails and Facebook almost every day. Lately, people like posting pictures just for the purpose of getting others' attention through their “flowers”, no matter whether these pictures are good or not. Recently, I was very annoyed with these types of posts, so I decided to stop using social media for one week.After not using social media for a week, I can honestly say that everything has changed. Before last week, I used to check Facebook more than five times a day, as well as of my other socialaccounts, and I couldn't understand why I did that. Now I check Facebook much less.People are so obsess（迷恋的） with posting pictures that have no meaning to them just for the purpose of posting something online. Whenever I look at Instagram, all of the comments on pictures are the same. People depend on how many “likes” they get on wha t they post as an achievement. I just want to say, “None of it matters!” As I start to fully understand this now, I wonder why I have social media if all of this annoys me so much. But then I realize that I actually post meaningful things that my friends enjoy, and to me, that's more important than getting “likes” on a picture.Maybe as a society, we are using social media wrongly. I think we sometimes forget that social media helps us contact with people who are far away from us. I think it's a beautiful thing that I am able to go on Facebook and feel connected with people that I don't have the opportunity of seeing every single day anymore.（1）Why did the writer decide to stop using social media for one week?A. Because she had very few “flowers”.B. Because she had got tired of the posts on it.C. Because she didn't have any good pictures to post on.D. Because there was something wrong with her computer.（2）What do we know about the writer from Paragraph 2?A. She didn't know how to use Facebook.B. She didn't like posting things on Facebook.C. She used to check her social media accounts a lot.D. She has given up using social media forever.（3）According to the writer, people should use social media to ______.A. receive important commentsB. learn about other people's livesC. get “likes” from their “flowers”D. connect with faraway friends and family（4）What is the main idea of the passage?A. People should not use social media.B. Technology is changing our lives today.C. Comments on social media are interesting.D. Social media should be used for good purposes.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）D【解析】【分析】本文讲述了作者厌烦社交网络从而一周不用社交网络，并有了一些感想。

DIn today's world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect（影响） on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn't mean more happiness.If money was everything, all millionaires would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are "I love you". But can love be bought? I'm afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious（宝贵的） things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is "No".Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can't be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped（崇拜）, money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for. （1）According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?A. Money is everything.B. Money isn't necessary.C. Money is important, but not the most important.D. With no money, with no success.（2）What's the most important thing for every person according to the writer?A. Only money.B. Health and a long life.C. Only friendship.D. A, B and C （3）Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you haven't much money, you can't get more happiness.B. You may live a long life even if you are poor.C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.D. If you are rich, you will have less friendship.（4）In fact, many millionaires _________.A. have true friendshipB. die earlierC. have good healthD. have true love （5）What does the sentence "Love means to give, not to take." mean?A. 爱意味着给你，而不能带走。

She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn't like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely， although she didn't mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam， and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe（秘方） of making the strawberry jam to others.When the strawberries were ripe，my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed， experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It's no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me， it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while， but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make you rich.（1）Who owns the recipe of making the best strawberry jam?A. The writer's mother.B. The writer.C. Aunt Fanny.D. Fanny's mother.（2）Why do people in the town think aunt Fanny is poor?A. Because she needed to work hard in her workshop.B.

An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy （肌肉萎缩症）.When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming（克服）difficulties and going for my dreams.I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Clearly, he knew what he was talking about. He didn't mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me. When we finished talking, I pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming difficulties than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You won that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthew's parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:Dear Rick,My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don't have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday that I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.

2020-2021年阅读理解（人生百味）练习题(含答案)（word）1一、九年级中考英语阅读理解（人生百味）（含答案详细解析）1．阅读理解The following are some tips for becoming a successful businessman by Michael Bloomberg. They are based on his experience of building a company from the ground up, leading New York City as mayor（市长）, and so on.Take RisksLife is too short to spend your time avoiding failure.In 1981, at the age of 39, I lost my job. The next day I took a big risk and began my own company. In 2001, when I was debating whether to run for mayor, most people advised me not to do it. But one person said, “If you can imagine yourself giving a concession（败选）speech, then why not go for it?” That was the best advice I received, and I followed it.In order to succeed, you must first be willing to fail— and you must have the courage to go for it anyway.Make your own luckLuck plays a part in success. The harder you work, the luckier you get.Whatever you choose to do, even if it's not the job of your dreams, always work hard at it. Be the first person at work in the morning and the last to leave at night. Hard work creates chances. Never stop learningThe most powerful word in English language is “why”. There is nothing so powerful as an open, inquiring mind（探究精神）. Whatever field you choose for starting a business — be a lifelong student.Give backYou are responsible for your success and failure, but you only succeed if you share the reward with others.My first donation was a $ 5 check to my alma mater （母校） . And while the checks（支票）may be bigger today, they come with the same spirit.You don't have to be wealthy to give back. You can give back by giving your time and talents. （1）In this passage, Michael Bloomberg is the name of a .A. newspaperB. placeC. companyD. person（2）What did the writer do at the age of 59?A.

We were driving in the right lane（车道）when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire（轮胎） made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.I was frightened. But then I couldn't believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn't believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital.”This is when my taxi dr iver taught my what I now call, “The Law of the Rubbush Truck（垃圾车法则）.” He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger and full of bad feelings. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray（祈祷）for those who don't.（1）Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?A. The writer went to the airport by taxi that day.B. The taxi driver stopped his car in time.C. The black car jumped out and crashed into the taxi.D.

Because he was in a bad mood.B. Because his car was full of rubbish.C. Because he was badly hurt by the taxi.D. Because the taxi driver didn't say sorry to him.（4）From the passage, we can tell that the taxi driver is _______.A. silly and dishonestB. wise and friendlyC. helpful but nervousD. modest but impatient（5）What does the passage mainly tell us?A.

2020-2021年阅读理解（人生百味）测试题（A）﹙含答案﹚经典1一、九年级中考英语阅读理解（人生百味）（含答案详细解析）1．阅读理解This afternoon, when I was looking for a self-improvement（自我修养） book, I found an aged folder（文件夹）.In this folder, there were some of the examination papers I'd taken during my pre-university days. They were on economics（经济学）, a subject that I didn't really like much then.I laughed at the silly mistakes I made as I looked through the papers. And memories of the past came to my mind. I saw myself sitting at one of the study tables, working hard for some of my life goals. Back then, it was popular for most students to set life goals, because they thought it was most important.It was during those times that I first started to set goals for myself. I didn't know much about goal setting then. I didn't use any goal tracking（跟踪） tools, either. All I knew was that I had to go to university. There was no other way that I could give myself. To go through my lecture（演讲） notes, I didn't take breaks. For more revision with my classmates, I stayed back late. One time, I missed the school lock-out hours and I had to climb school gates in order to leave. It was perhaps this attitude（态度） that ignited my decision to go through what I had to do to get this far.Yes, it may have been hard. But the sweet taste of victory experienced at the point of receiving my final results was so wonderful that I would never forget it for the rest of my life.I closed the folder and dropped it into the dustbin（垃圾箱）in the room. It's time to get kicking with my next goal. And by writing this, I know I'm getting closer.（1）When the author（作者）looked through the papers in the folder, he .A. looked for a self-improvement bookB. laughed at the silly mistakes he madeC. dropped it into the dustbin right awayD. sat at the table and set life goals again（2）When the author first started to get goals for himself, he .A. didn't need to enter universityB. didn't use any goal tracking toolsC. was sure that he would win the victoryD. learned a lot from a self-improvement book （3）Why did the author stay back late after school?A. To be prepared to enter university.B. To learn more about goal setting.C. To make his teacher pay attention to him.D. To get the chance of climbing school gates.（4）The underlined word “ignited” means in the passage.A. reduced（减少）B. balanced（平衡）C. questionedD. raised（5）What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph?A. He regularly（规律地） tidies his room.B. He's not quite good at goal settingC. He is ready for the next goal.D. He hated those papers in the folder.【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）D（5）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过与读者分享自己的高中生活的回忆，告诉我们人生是由一个一个的目标组成的，我们要尽全力朝着自己确定的目标前进。
