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. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”1. The violin performance made people feel __________.A. regret, hope and lightB. fear, warmth and hopeC. warmth, hope and lightD. pity, warmth and light2.

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.

The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第(五)篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. 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.

AWhen does a teenager become an adult(成人)? In many countries, it happens on your 18th birthday, but in some parts of the world, you have to do something special to enter the world of adults. On the island of Papua New Guinea, the Niowra people live near the Sepik River, which is full of crocodiles(鳄鱼). The people believe the crocodiles made the earth and its people. When it is time for teenage boys to become men, “a crocodile ceremony(仪式)” takes place.The boys are taken to a small house called the“Crocodile Nest”. The house is full of crocodile teeth. The boys are told to think of their crocodile “fathers and mothers.” This helps them to be strong and brave during the ceremony. They stay in the house for six weeks. As part of the ceremony, bamboo is used to make small cuts on their backs. The Niowra say if the boys think of their crocodile mothers and fathers, they don’t feel pain. The boys also play drums during their time in the house to take their minds off the pain.The Niowra believe that this ceremony makes the boys stronger and braver. After the ceremony, the boys will have the marks of the cuts on their backs for the rest of their lives. The marks are symbols of the teeth of the crocodile. The boys are now crocodile men and can live in the dangerous forest.1. The Niowra believe ______.A. boys should do something specialB. teenagers are born to be crocodile menC. the forest is the most dangerous placeD. crocodiles created the earth and humans2. During the ceremony, the boys do all the things except ______.A. living in a small house for six weeksB. fighting against fear and painC. watching how crocodiles swim and eatD. having small cuts on their backs3. The passage is mainly about ______.A. how boys become crocodile menB. why the Niowra raise crocodilesC. if crocodiles can be people’s friendsD. when crocodile ceremonies startBNo one can remember everything, but everyone can learn to how to improve their memory. Here are some ways. None of them can make your memory 100% perfect, but all of them are helpful:●When you want to remember something, tell a friend about it. This way the new information becomes more memorable. Later on, think about the conversation with your friend. It will remind(提醒) you of the main information you wanted to remember.●Our memory works well when we are asleep. If you want to remember something, go to bed and go to sleep immediately after learning it.●If you have to remember something big, break it down into smaller pieces. It’s easier to remember 198756430387 if you break it into four smaller pieces 198-756-430-387.●If you want to remember a piece of information, and you can’t, don’t get angry. Relax and tell yourself, “If it’s important, I will remember it later.”●One of the best ways of remembering is to “make pictures” on the“movie screen” of your mind, and it’s fun, too. Scientists say that our brain works a lot in pictures. So sometimes, if we want to remember new information, it helps to make a picture story. Imagine someone wants to go shopping for the following things:Now make a crazy story: Once upon a time. There was a girl. She was hungry and looking for FOOD. Her name was on her T-shirt in big golden letters: GOLDIE FISH. She put on her ROLLER SKA TES and tried to leave the house, but she tripped(绊倒) over her VOCABULARY BOOK and fell on a BOTTLE OF SHAMPOO.

The best title for this passage is ______.A. Lessons to make picturesB. Ways to create a storyC. Lessons to start a conversationD. Ways to improve memory4. The passage is probably taken from a ______ part of a magazine.A. ScienceB.SportsC. TravelD. FoodCSurvival training course—Day 1Our first day was not easy—there was so much to do! Arriving on the island, the instructor, Mr Wang, gave us a tent, some food, a map, etc. and asked us to take them all to the top of a hill on mountain bikes. It was quite hard, but we all managed to get there before lunch. After a short rest and a quick sandwich, we tried to find a good place to put up the tent. Standing at the top of the cliff(悬崖), Jenny suggested camping there. However, Mr Wang pointed out that the strong wind might blow the tent away. In the end, we found a nice place that protected ourselves from the wind.Putting up the tent was very hard. It was only after two hours that it was finally done. By that time, we were all hungry. So we had to make a fire to cook our food. After dinner, we were all full and happy.Survival training course—Day 2We woke up early today and made breakfast quickly as we had to get on well with the next part of our training. Today’s task was to work out how to get to a secret place using a map and a compass.Following the instructions Mr Wang had given us, we made our way across the island, mountain biking and even boating to the last checkpoint. It was such an exciting trip—we needed to go caving(洞穴) and rock climbing at different signposts which showed us directions anddistances. When we finally reached the place, we were tired. Expected to be the last ones there, wewere proud when Mr. Wang said we were the only ones to make it to the right place.The two-day survival training course was a great experience.

Bored and hard.B. Tired but excited.C. Happy but unlucky.D. Long and dangerous.DIn order to tell what I believe, I must bring up something from my personal history.The turning point of my life was my decision to give up my business job and study music. My parents, although sharing my love of music, didn’t think it was a good choice I took up music as a job. Considering my family background, this was understandable. My grandfather had taught music for forty years at Springhill College in Mobile, and though he was much loved by his students, he didn’t earn(挣钱) enough to provide for his large family. As a result of this example in the family, my parents strongly asked me to the college instead of a conservatory(音乐学院) of music although I loved my violin and spent most of my spare time practicing.Before my graduation from Columbia, the family ran into some money problems and I felt it was my duty to leave college and take a job. That was why I took a business job, which I always think of as the wasted years.I went into it for money, for being able to help the family. Money is all I got out of it. It was not enough. I felt that life was passing me by.My wish was to save enough to quit(退出)and then go to Europe to study music. I continued to make money, and finally, bit by bit, earned enough to make me able to go abroad. The family got out of the trouble and ____________. I felt like a free man and sailed for Europe. I stayed for four years, worked harder than I had ever dreamed of working and enjoyed every minute of it.“Enjoyed” is too soft a word. I walked on air. I really lived. When I broke away form business, it was against the advice of all my friends and family, but if I had stayed in business, I do not believe I would have made a success of living.1. The writer presented his grandpa’s example in order to ______.A. show how much his grandpa was loved by his studentsB. tell to be a musician wasn’t a good choice for the writerC. explain why his parents disagreed him to take up music as a jobD. thank his parents’ support for studying in the conservatory of music2.

They found those volunteers who exercised while listening to Italian musician Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons did much better on language ability tests than without music. It is also used in medical fields for patients who have had head hurts because of its moderate tempo (舒缓的节拍).“Exercise seems to cause positive changes in the nerve (神经) system and these changes may improve the learning ability of people wi th heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We justwanted to put the two results together,” he added.The volunteers said they felt better emotionally and physically after exercising with or without music. But their improvement on the test doubled after listening to music during exercise. Scientists have proved that music can be good for health and education. It helps reduce stress and sadness, encourage relaxation or sleep, wake up the body and improve memory and thoughts.Scientists have been studying the results of exercise to music on learning and understanding since the early 1950s. A study showed that students who listened to Mozart's violin pieces and exercised went on to get higher marks in an IQ test. With important exams drawing near, your parents will not probably allow you to listen to music or play sports.
