There is no doubt that computers are very useful in technology and business.析In space, computers have been used to control the speed and direction of a spaceship. With the help of computers, doctors can find diseases easily and solve other problems. For example, tiny computers which are inside patients' bodies can keep their hearts beating normally. In factories, robots are controlled by computers that are like human brains. They can do work that is dangerous to humans. In business, computers are used to place and cancel orders. They are also making the workplace safer and better.Since the Internet came into being, people's lives at home have been changed, too. More and more people have personal computers that are used to play games and watch movies. Thanks to the Internet, people can do shopping and do business at home. Instead of writing letters on paper, people communicate by sending e-mails and chatting online. The whole world isconnected. The Internet is making the world smaller, like a village.Computers have improved our lives, but they have brought problems, too. For instance, if we work on computers too long, we may get headaches or sore eyes. If we play computer games too much, we won't have enough time to study or exercise. Besides, not everything we read on the Internet is true or good for us. Computers help us at work and at home, but they must be used properly.Scientists think that there 1.______ been life on earth for millions of years. However, we haven't found life on other planets yet. The earth 2.______ a planet and it goes around the sun. And there are seven other planets 3.______ also go around the sun. The sun and its planets are called the solar system. The solar system is a small part of the universe.Scientists have launched many spaceships to explore other planets in the solar system. Some spaceships have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one 4.______ discovered any life in space yet.Why has no one from other planets sent us a message? Have they tried 5.______ send information to us? With so many stars in space, are we alone, or is 7.______ life on other planets in space?What do you know about Mars? What does it look like?Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in our solar system and is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. Its diameter is 53% as wide as that of the earth. Mars goes around the sun at a distance of about 228 million kilometers. You can tell which planet is Mars because it is bright red in the night sky. It looks like a red and orange ball. It's very beautiful. But during spring and summer, the surface of Mars is covered by strong storms. The gravity on the surface of Mars is about two-fifths as strong as it is on earth. So a person who weighs 90 kilos on earth weighs only 36 kilos on Mars. The temperature on Mars is between -138℃and 28℃. The air has only 0.13% oxygen.It takes a spaceship about eight months to reach Mars from the earth when the two planets are closest to each other. Scientists are still searching for more information about Mars.Where Are We?Where are we? That was a big question when we first explored our world long ago. The early explorers found that the stars in the sky were good guiding marks. Using the stars, they could find out where they were and in which direction they were going.析This method worked well at night as long as the weather was good and the stars could be seen.析But it didn't work so well during the rest of the time.析That was a problem.Today, the problem has been solved by the Global Positioning System (GPS). It is like a man-made star. We can use it at any time, in any place and in any weather to find out our position. It can also be used to study the shape of the earth. The GPS is a great invention that helps us explore our planet and discover where we are.An invention may be a new product or a new way of doing things. Inventions come about in many ways.析Most of the time, inventions happen because someone works to solve a problem.Sometimes inventions are the result of accidents. Look at your schoolbags. You have pencils, pens, crayons rulers and some books. None of these things was planted in fields.析They were made in factories and invented by someone. Inventing is interesting and exciting and everyone can be an inventor. Do you want to be an inventor? There are a few simple steps to follow in the invention process.◆You can have wild and crazy thoughts. Remember that no idea is too silly. But they weren't discouraged by what people said. That's why now we have planes.◆Careful planning is important in the invention process. This is the time to brainstorm for ideas and to evaluate them.◆Make a detailed drawing of your invention so others will understand how your invention works.◆Make a model of your invention.◆See if your invention works as it is planned. If not, do more research, redesign it, and test it again.◆Every invention needs a name.A.Draw your invention.B. Name your invention.C. Test your invention.D. Use your imagination.E. Plan and design your invention.Are you facing problems in learning English? If so, the following two ways will help you to learn it more easily and with more fun!"I download English songs from the Internet. It has really improved my listening. What's more, I am happier when I study this way," said one junior student. Listening to your favorite English songs is actually an effective way. Before you listen, you can read first and find out what the song is about. While listening, pick some useful words or phrases. A dictionary may also be helpful if necessary.Watching a movie is another good and interesting way. "It is wonderful to watch movies, and it can help your English a lot!" said a junior three student. "You can also imitate the pronunciation of the actors." So choose your favorite movie before watching. Then have paper and a pen ready as you may want to write down useful words or phrases. In this way, you can increase the number of words and understand the dialogs better.Enjoy using the two ways, and you are sure to learn faster and do better!Some things usually have different meanings in different cultures. Here are some words about animals that are used differently in western cultures and Chinese culture.Most phrases in Chinese about the dog, such as "a homeless dog", "a mad dog", “a running dog" and“a dog catching a mouse", have negative meanings. But in western countries, dogs are considered honest and good friends of humans. The word, "dog", has positive meanings. For example, "you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good luck at times.As we know, dragons are very important in Chinese culture. In ancient times, dragons were regarded as strong and magical creatures. They brought hope and good luck. The ancient emperors compared themselves to dragons. Nowadays, many parents want their children to become "dragons". But in western cultures, dragons were dangerous animals. Heroes killed themto protect people.Some things have similar meanings in Chinese culture and western cultures. The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries. People in China and the West think the rose also stands for peace, courage and friendship. When we pay attention to the cultural meanings of words, we will understand them better.There are more than 3 000 languages spoken in the world.

CIf music makes you smarter and exercise helps you to think, surely exercising to music can turn you into a clever person.A team of scientists from Ohio State University did experiments on 33 volunteers who were getting better from heart disease after operations. 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 with heart disease,” said the psychologist Charles Emery, who led the study. “And listening to music is thought to enhance understanding. We just wanted 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.

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.

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.

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。

【英语】九年级上册英语英语阅读理解汇编专项训练100(附答案)一、中考英语阅读理解汇编1．阅读理解I have just finished reading the lovely book called Daddy Long Legs written by Jean Webster.Judy was a girl who was always positive about life though she was an orphan（孤儿） living in a small village for 18 years. Then one day a man came and decided to send her to college, which later totally changed Judy's life. He asked Judy to write him a letter once a month to tell him what she had learned at school. But he would never reply to her letter. The different life between the village and the college made Judy fully realize the beauty of life and she cherished every moment of her life. She never asked too much about life. Her only quarrel （争吵） with life was that time ran too fast.

AA farmer had a brother in town who was a gardener, and his brother had a garden full of the finest fruit trees. So his skill and his beautiful trees were famous everywhere. One day the farmer went into the town to visit his brother, and was surprised at the trees that grew quite well."Look, my brother," said the gardener. "I will give you an apple tree, the best from my garden, and you, and your children, and your children's children will enjoy it."Then the gardener called his workmen and ordered them to take up the tree and carry it to his brother's farm. They did so, and the next morning the farmer began to wonder where he should plant it."If I plant it on the hill," he said to himself, "the wind might catch it and shake down the delicious fruit before it is ripe. If I plant it close to the road, passersby will see it and take away the apples--but if I plant it too near the door of my house, my children may pick the fruit." So, after he had thought the matter over, he planted the tree behind his barn （谷仓）.Time passed, but the tree had no fruit the first year, nor the second-then the farmer called his brother. When the gardener came, the farmer said angrily, "You have cheated me, and given me a useless tree instead of a fruitful one. This is the third year and still it brings out nothing but leaves!

初三英语短文阅读练习题One day, a little boy named Timmy was walking to school when he saw something sparkling in the bushes. He couldn't resist the curiosity and went closer to investigate. To his surprise, it was a shiny, golden key.Without any hesitation, Timmy picked up the key and examined it carefully. The key was unlike any he had seen before. It had intricate carvings and an old-fashioned design, which made it look like it was from another time.Intrigued by the key's uniqueness, Timmy decided to keep it and bring it to school to show his friends. As he arrived in the classroom, he unveiled the key, causing the whole class to gasp in amazement."I found this key on my way to school! Isn't it awesome?" Timmy exclaimed, proudly showing off his discovery.His classmates gathered around Timmy, examining the key with awe. They exchanged theories about the key's origin and purpose, but none of them could come up with a definite answer. The key remained a mystery, arousing their imagination.Days turned into weeks, and the key became a constant topic of conversation among Timmy and his friends. They spent their lunch breaks brainstorming ideas and forming wild theories about the key's hidden treasure or magical powers. The key had ignited their sense of adventure and curiosity.One day, during a history lesson, their teacher, Mr. Johnson, noticed the key on Timmy's desk. He recognized its significance and asked Timmy to stay after class. Mr. Johnson, being a history enthusiast, had seen similar keys before and knew their origin."Timmy, this key you found is not just any ordinary key. It belongs to an ancient treasure chest that's believed to be hidden deep within the forest," Mr. Johnson explained, her eyes filled with excitement. "Legend has it that whoever finds the key and unlocks the chest will be granted a wish."Timmy's eyes widened with astonishment. The mystery of the key suddenly had a purpose, a potential adventure that awaited him. He couldn't wait to embark on a journey to find the hidden treasure chest.Gathered with his friends and equipped with a map, Timmy ventured into the dense forest. The birds chirped, and the wind whispered secrets as they followed the clues that the map revealed. They walked for what seemed like hours, their excitement growing with every step.Finally, they stumbled upon an old, moss-covered tree. According to the map, this was the location of the hidden treasure chest. With trembling hands, Timmy inserted the key into the lock and slowly turned it. A soft click echoed through the air, causing everyone to hold their breath in anticipation.As Timmy lifted the heavy lid of the chest, a bright light burst forth, illuminating their astonished faces. Inside the chest, there was no gold or jewels. Instead, there was a simple, handwritten note that read, "The real treasure is the journey itself."Timmy and his friends looked at each other, realizing that the true value lied not in material possessions, but in the experiences and memories they had created together. They had learned the importance of curiosity, friendship, and the joy of seeking knowledge.From that day forward, the key became a symbol of their shared adventure, serving as a reminder to embrace curiosity and appreciate the wonders of the world around them.In conclusion, the discovery of the golden key had sparked an incredible journey for Timmy and his friends. It taught them the value of friendship, the excitement of seeking knowledge, and the importance of embracing curiosity. The key became a symbol of their shared adventure, reminding them to treasure the experiences and memories they had created together.。
