英语阅读训练 （使用须知：本试卷供本次九年级期中考的模拟阅读训练，附有详细答案及讲解，教师可在周末布置学生这项作业，然后可在课堂上评讲阅读文章中还未学过的一些知识，也算是中考前的一次复习） 第一题 有些人为了要扩张耕地和工地面积，试图把湿地变成农田，变成建筑，可是这是决不行的！因为湿地对我们人类来说是十分重要的。 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。 1. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the _______ of China. A. east B. south C. west D. north 2. Usually the weather in the wetlands is _______. A. hot B. pleasant C. cold D. dry 3. The World Wetlands Day is on _______. A. April 22 B. June 25 C. February 2 D. March 22 4. We must protect wetlands because _______. A. they are home for wildlife B. they can prevent flood C. they can offer food to the animals and birds D. all of the above 5.

They are in Yancheng， Jiangsu Province. 和地理知识可知，江苏省是在中国的东部，故选A. 2. 选B.由第2段的句子The temperature in the wetland is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine， too.可知，湿地的气温不高也不低，雨量充沛，阳光充足，这样的天气不是很pleasant吗？ 3. 选C.文章最后一句告诉我们在每年的February 2nd，有许多的关于湿地的活动举行，所以这一天就是世界湿地日。 4. 选D.短文的第1段讲述了They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals.（湿地是许多野生动物的家园）；第2段又讲述了湿地Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals 以及Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood.所以答案为D. 5. 选B.根据第4题我们就可知道本文列举了湿地的重要性，所以B选项最佳。 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。 1. If ten people are playing musical chairs， you must begin with _______.
