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

Once there was a little stream （小溪）. It flowed down from a high mountain and travelled

through many villages and forests. At last it reached a desert. “I went through so many difficulties.

I should have no problem crossing the desert, she thought. As she started, she found herself

slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can't reach the

ocean,” she said sadly to herself.

At this time, a deep voice said, “If a breeze （微风） can cross the desert, so can a stream.” It

was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That's because a breeze can fly, but I

cannot.”

“That's because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate （蒸发） into the

breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little

stream could not accept this idea. “The breeze can carry the vapor （蒸汽） across the desert

and let it leave as rain. The min will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you're a

river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open

arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.

The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through

difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.

（3）How did the little stream cross the desert finally?

A. By evaporating into the breeze. B. By forming a river.
