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.

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.

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.

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. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1.

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.

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.

Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, woul d rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what d o we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are abl e to put asid e differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes d o something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should d o, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.15．How d oes the writer d escribe the appearance of snakes?A．Something even without legs.B．Something not popular among people.C．A person who is neutral.D．A person who cares about nothing.16．Which of the foll owing shows that most peopl e dislike snakes?A．They wel come snakes as their best friends.B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.17．Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A．they cause many people’s deathB．they control the population of miceC．they are not dangerous to peopl eD．they are only a small number18．The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A．dislikes snakesB．has the best luckC．l oves snakesD．prefers to be l eft al oneThe Westwood Mid dl e School has d ecid ed to hol d a blood drive (献血活动), and you can help.Help with The Blood DriveThe School is holding a bl ood drive for teachers, parents, and town people.

This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice（小米）, but here Du chose col ored potatoes as the ingredients（原料）.Zhenba, in the south of Shaanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality（质量）potatoes. But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention（初心）.” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product w as once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization（乡村振兴）depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”22．What’s Du’s guoba made of?A．millet rice B．crispy corn C．sweet potatoes D．col orful potatoes23．How did Du’s team help potato sal es in Zhenba?A．They planted high-quality potatoes.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31．The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A．describing a fact B．listing a numberC．asking a question D．giving an example32．The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A．the main cause of B．the different kinds ofC．a simpl e tool to find D．a new method to fix33．The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A．experience B．weakness C．language D．examination34．The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A．personal and d oubtful B．sad but humorousC．scientific and promising D．informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”3.”Of course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.35．This passage tells us mainly about ________.A．the importance of “guessing” in learning a foreign language.B．how to guess what one is going to talk about.C．Some examples of right guessing.D．how important it is to guess all the time.36．From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.A．…so I didn’t have a good time.”B．…so I went to bed very late.”C．…so I felt unhappy.”D．…so I got up very early.”37．Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.A．“I think you’d better have a good rest and take good care of yourself.”B．“I think you’d better have something to drink.”C．“I think you’d better get some help from your friends.”D．“I think you’d better to be more careful.”38．From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in l earning a foreign language.A．the only wayB．more important in spoken English than in written English.C．more important than any other wayD．more important in written English than in spoken EnglishMr. Smith is fifty years old.

Since many foreign tourists have known little about, here is some information about it.An end and new beginningBy the time of Shuangjiang. most of the harvesting (丰收) work is already completed in northern China .Farmers are now able to enjoy a period of rest.But in the south .the harvest is still in its best time, as farmers have to take home the sweet potatoes before they are destroyed by the coming frost.Across the country, after year of farming, now it is time to pl ow the fields and prepare the soil for next year.Enjoy the flaming red mapl e leaves (枫叶)Autumn might be the most col orful season in China with the leaves turning fromgol den yell ow to red. Activities like hiking become popular as people appreciate the bright red leaves.Nearly all the tourist websites list the best places for admiring the red maple leaves during this time, and many cities start to offer official routes for the best views of the leaves.Appreciating in the view an old tradition starting in ancient times .Du Mu ,awell-known poet from the Tang Dynasty (618-907) described the mountainous scenery in a poem :“ stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods ; Frosted autumn leaves outshine February fl owers in redness.”Best time to adjust (调整)to a healthy lifestyl eIt is said that Shuangjiang is the best time to adjust to a nourishing (营养的) life, which reflects the belief that this is an important time to focus (关注) on health. "Keeping warm "shoul d be d ealt with first.Persimmon is the most popular fruit in many areas .Chinese believe that persimmon coul d not only keep off the coldness ,but also strengthen the muscl es and bones .Otherfruits ,including apples and bananas, are believed to help provide the necessary nutrition for the human body.46．The writer uses the poem to show that ______.A．poets take more interest in autumnB．it has just become popular for peopl e to appreciate the bright red leavesC．different routes are provided for us to enjoy the viewD．admiring the autumn view is a Chinese traditional custom47．By saying "Keeping warm should be dealt with first", the author probably means that ______.A．People might feel warmer around Shuangjiang.B．People usually have difficulty keeping warm around Shuangjiang.C．It's unnecessary to keep warm around ShuangjiangD．It's more important to keep warm than other things around Shuangjiang.48．This passage probably tries to interest _______.A．kids aged 3-6 B．travelers from other countriesC．rock music lovers D．football fans49．Which of the foll owing structures will you choose for the mind map of this passage?A．B．C．D．Every day, China imports(进口) different goods from countries across the globe. These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50．After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A．Importing plastic products from abroad.B．Buying solid waste from abroad.C．Selling metals to other countries.D．Producing solid waste.51．What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B．About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C．China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D．It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A．How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B．What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C．What risks solid waste brought to China.D．How solid waste should be dealt with.53．According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A．wasteful B．effective(有效的) C．chall enging D．expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera. It came into being (形成) after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. The Guangxu Emperor (帝王) and Empress Dowager Cixi were also crazy about Beijing Opera and helped d evelop the art form.There are four main rol es in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou. Sheng is the leading male (男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man.A Laosheng is an old man with beard (胡子). Dan is the female (女性) role. Jing, mostly mal e,is the face painted rol e and Chou is the comedy (喜剧) actor or cl own (小丑).Beijing Opera is full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, wond erful gestures and fighting. Some of the stories are from history books, but most are from famous novels. The people in the stories usually can’t agree with each other. They become angry, unhappy, sad and l onely. Sometimes they are afraid and worried. Then they find a way to make peace with (与……讲和) each other. Everyone is usually happy in the end.Beijing Opera is an important part of Chinese culture. In China it used to be popular with old people while young people didn’t like it very muc h. However, more young people arebecoming interested in it nowadays.

一、阅读理解1. Storytelling has caught the human imagination for thousands of years. People everywhere have told stories to amuse(消遣), to teach, toremember, and just to pass the time. People started telling stories long before writing was invented. 1 But people all over the world still tell one another stories out loud. A person who can tell a good story nearly always finds listeners.Before people developed writing, storytelling was the most important way to pass along information. Anything a culture wanted to protect—its beliefs, its history, and its traditions—had to be told out loud. Each generation would tell the culture’s stories to the next. 2 Knowledge passed on in this method is called the spoken tradition. Even cultures that know how to write still pass along some information in this way.3 In other cultures only special storytellers were trusted to do this important job. A culture’s best storytellers had good memories. Theycould also make the stories very interesting, so people would listen and remember them. Sometimes people would sing the stories or tell them in the form of poems. 4However, stories told aloud change over time as different people tell them. A storyteller might change a story in order to make it better. Or a teller may simply not remember all the details of a story. Unlike written stories, the spoken tradition is not created by any one person. 5 Sometimes the stories are collected and written down long after they have been created.A．In this way the stories were passed along.B．In some cultures everyone would pass along the stories.C．Soon storytelling became very popular all over the world.D．Songs and poems can both make stories easier to remember.E．Instead, a whole culture helps shape the changing stories in history.F．The spoken tradition is created by good storytellers rather than listeners.G．Today stories are also written down in books and acted out in movies, TV shows, and plays.2. One day, while my friend and I were traveling through Germany, we were very hungry but we didn’t have a lot of money. 1 I chosesome cookies and went to the front counter to pay. Near the counter I saw some packaged (包装好的) cookies in a large box. 2 I decided to take them instead so that we could save money.3 We found a quiet place under a tree and we ate our sandwiches first, and then the cookies. We thought they were great.“Let’s get these again,” I said. “ 4 ”My friend can read some German, but I can’t, so I gave her the package in order that she could look for the brand (品牌) name. 5“Why are you laughing?” I asked.“Because they’re dog biscuits!” she said.A．We left the store and looked for a place where we could eat.B．She looked at it and then started to laugh.C．We decided to stop at a small store to get some food.D．They’re cheap and they really taste good.E．More and more people will go there.F．She liked Germany very much.G．They looked good and were a lot cheaper than the ones I had in my hand.文章大意：本文主要介绍了一位中学生发明的环保垃圾袋，介绍了发明它的起因，它的用处等。

中考英语阅读理解专项练习班级_考号姓名总分（一）The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Scottie of San-Francisco. Once he flew from the U. S. to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane made one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home. Mr. Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome" had changed a lot. Many old build ings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr. Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hour' s traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens （警报）on. “Look," said Scottie to his interpreter（翻译），I know I' m in Italy. That s how they drive. ”1.

Nobody but Mr. Scottie made this kind of mistake.B. Many people make this kind of mistake.C.Few people make this kind of mistakeD.50% of people will make the same mistake （二）“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. "Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It' s cool. " You may think, "He' s so cool, “ when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize （扩 大）the meaning of “cool” . You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising” . Here' s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall （瀑布）they had visited. On one student s paper was just the one sentence, "It' s so cool. " Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity （缺乏）of words. Without “cool"，some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility （可信性）.Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool” ? I can. And I think they are also very cool.6.

题型专练：阅读理解Passage 1Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it？1题Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction.2题A certain kind of ants,for example,can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert（沙漠）,so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It's like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest.Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area.Some animals can sense the earth's magnetic field（磁场）,while humans can't. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that？3题It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet.However,animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example,many birds depend on stars for direction,but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. 4题To solve this problem,we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly,one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 【语篇研读】What：介绍了不同动物辨别方向的方法。

中考英语阅读理解专项训练（含答案）“Why do I live? Why do I wish for anything, or do anything? Is there anything in my life that will not be destroyed by my death?” Like Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian writer, many people ask these difficult questions. Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer these difficult questions.As a young man, he thought people could achieve perfection if they tried hard enough, so he worked very hard to be the best in everything. He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.In the 1850s, Tolstoy wrote his first stories. He wrote about his life in the army. He also told stories about his childhood. These works were published, and Tolstoy became a well-known writer.He earned the respect he always wanted. Many rich and smart men met and talked with Tolstoy. Some of them were writers like him. They talked a lot about faith (信仰) and the meaning of life, but soon Tolstoy recognized that these men were not perfect. Now he knew they could not answer his questions about faith.So, in the 1860s, Tolstoy tried a different way to find the meaning of life. He opened a school for the children of his serfs—the people who worked on his land. These workers were very poor. He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than the rich people he knew.Tolstoy learned a lot from his workers. He understood how they worked hard to support their families. He began to believe that marriage and family would give his life meaning. So in 1862, Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.The next 15 years were the best years of Tolstoy’s life. It was during this time that he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina. Many experts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written. In these books, Tolstoy believed humans should live a simple life and take care of their families. Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring him happiness.Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today. His faith and writings have influenced many people all over the world.1．Which is the correct order of the following events?①Tolstoy served in the army.①Tolstoy got married.①Tolstoy wrote War and Peace.①Tolstoy opened a school.①Tolstoy became a well-known writer.A．①①①①①B．①①①①①C．①①①①①D．①①①①①2．Why did Tolstoy want to be the best in everything when he was young?A．To prepare for his books.B．To achieve perfection.C．To make a lot of money.D．To show his wisdom.3．Tolstoy thought he would learn a lot from his workers because they were ________.A．poor B．honest C．friendly D．Patient4．Which of the following is TRUE about Tolstoy?A．He wrote books about his childhood and army life.B．He believed the rich people understood his faith.C．He opened a school for the workers on his land.D．His earliest books showed his value for family life.5．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Leo Tolstoy: Living for writing.B．Leo Tolstoy: Influencing the world.C．Leo Tolstoy: Being the best in everything.D．Leo Tolstoy: Searching for the meaning of life.In ancient times, there was a king who loved flowers.

So he had to find someone to rule the country.The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the country and give every person a single orchid seed. He then announced that the person who grew the most beautiful orchid would take his throne.Everyone in the country then got their own seed.

I like meeting people. I couldn’t keep a secret if you told me and I like discovering new things and telling everyone about them. So I became a journalist(记者).Sounds simple and easy, right? But the life of a journalist is more exciting and much harder than that. It can come with pain and frustration (挫折).Once I ran around in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow. I was trying to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the firemen. I wrote the story…Then I opened the paper to find it at the back, with no name on it, only 100 words long. Strangely, though, it made me want to keep going. If you succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.I once wrote about an old people’s home. People there, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas (跳蚤). They were told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, people there phoned me, full of joy. The managers had said sorry to them and promised to change their ways.Journalism can be dangerous and boring, with long and changing work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is terrible. But it’s also one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs. For me, there is no better career than making a difference—and telling the world about it.16．According to the writer, what can’t she do being a journalist?A．Writing different kinds of stories.B．Meeting different people.

Does an image of a man show up in your mind?It is hard to ignore that even in the 21st century, the “scientist equals male” stereotype(成见) is still there. In the science world, women’s voices are often unheard.According to UNESCO, only 35 percent of global STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students in higher education are women. In pursuing science and technology careers, women are more likely to be treated unfairly because of their motherhood and skin color, noted Teen V ogue.In November, at the 4th World Laureates Forum(世界顶尖科学家论坛) held in Shanghai, some of the world’s top female scientists announced an initiative(倡议), encouraging institutions around the world to promote gender equality(性别平等) in STEM areas.“Role models of women scientists need to be better represented on important international stages and allow their voices to be heard as a way to encourage youths,” Lenore Blum, a female scientist from the US, said at the forum.In December, Talk With Lu Jian, a Chinese TV show, launched a series of programs under the title of She Power in Tech. The show interviewed Chinese female scientists, includinggeneticist(遗传学家) Fu Qiaomei at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Lü Zhi, a professor of life sciences at Peking University, and Rong Yi, a chief designer of the Long March 2F rocket.“These female scientists share a strong passion for science,” said Lu Jian, the TV show’s host. “They are making a pathway(通道) for the next women scientists.”Actions should also be taken to create a better environment for women working in the field ofscience and technology, noted Science and Technology Daily. For example, they should be given more resources, join in decision-making and gain support for their research during maternity(生育).21．According to UNESCO, the number of women who study STEM is ________ the number of men.A．equal to B．far more than C．much less than D．close to 22．Lenore Blum thinks that ________.A．more female scientists should find different jobs B．women scientists are good role models C．scientists should be known by more people D．women are good at studying science 23．She Power in Tech is a program that ________.A．shares stories of women scientists B．teaches basic scientific knowledge C．picks up future women scientists D．spreads the latest scientific developments 24．What problems are female scientists facing now?a.

A．abc B．abd C．acd D．bcdChina’s Twenty-four Solar Terms is considered to be the country’s fifth great invention. It has been added to UNESCO’s List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (联合国教科文组织非物质文化遗产名录).The Twenty-four Solar Terms was invented by ancient Chinese. At that time, most people were farmers. They had to learn about the movement of the sun in a year and do the farming accordingly. The Twenty-four Solar Terms shows the changes of climate, seasons and some biological phenomena (生物现象).

Like all other businesses, they have to follow the rules of good business. There is a person, called “the top man”, running the studio. He is usually someone with a powerful personality. His power of character is necessary so that the “boss” can deal with famous stars and rich investors(投资者). Some movie stars can only contract(签合同) with one studio. They cannot work for another. Big studios like Columbia, Fox,Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer are the most important movie-making companies in Hollywood.Making a film takes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for the film needs many weeks. Shooting a film often takes at least six months. Actors and cameramen work from very early in the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and reacted, filmed and refilmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stages are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studio. Churches, houses, castles, and forest are all built of wood and cardboard(纸板盒). Several hundred people work together to make one film. Some of these people are actors and actresses. The director of the film, however, is the most important person in a film studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and how the actors should act.Most people go to see a film because the film stars they like are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best to choose a film made by a good director. Some famous directors make their films very real. People feel that they themselves are among the people in the film. 30．How many big studios are mentioned in the passage?A．3B．4C．5D．631．The scenes have to be reacted and refilmed many times because ________.A．it takes time to make a film B．it is difficult to make them realC．it is not easy to make them good enough D．several hundred people work together 32．Who is the most important person in a film studio?A．The top man running the studio.B．An experienced cameraman.C．An excellent actor.D．The director of the film.33．According to the passage, most people go to see a film because ________.A．they like the scenes in it B．their favourite film stars are in itC．they want to know who is the director D．they want to learn its story34．We can probably see the passage in a(n) ________.A．newspaper B．magazine C．advertisement D．storybookOn a wild mountain, two goats met on a road just over a high cliff (悬崖). The road was so narrow that there was neither room for them to pass each other nor to turn round and go back. What do you think the two goats did?One of them with great care lay himself down on the narrow road, pressing as close to the rock as he could. Then the other goat softly walked on his friend, till, safely past him, he could lightly jump away.The goat that had lain down then stood up slowly from his place, safe and sound, free to jump again from rock to rock, and enjoyed the sweet grass on the hills happily.However, two other goats met on the banks of a rushing river. A tree had fallen across the river, and became a bridge from one side to the other.The two goats looked at each other, and each wished to pass over first.They stood for a while with one foot on the tree, each thinking that the other would turn back. But neither of them would give way, and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge!They then began to push and fight with their horns (角), until at last their feet slipped, and both the goats fell into the running river.Both might have been saved, if either of them had known how to give way at the right time. 35．How did the first two goats pass the narrow road safely?A．One goat turned around and went back.B．One goat jumped over the other and walked away.C．One goat lay down on the road so that the other could first leave.D．They stood there and passed the road carefully together.36．What was the bridge made of?A．A tree.B．A stone.C．Some stones.D．Some trees. 37．What happened when the two goats met on the middle of the bridge?A．They pushed and fought.B．They lay on the bridge.C．They looked at each other.D．They stood on the bridge.38．The underlined word “slipped” in Paragraph 7 means ________ in Chinese.A．浸湿B．打滑C．磨损D．断裂39．The passage tells us that ________.A．we should face the challenge in life B．we should be careful to cross the bridge C．we should give way to others at the right time D．we should be brave to climb the mountainsThe first time I saw Kai, she was sitting in my front yard, hugging my dog Harley.

From the second time I talked to her, I knew Kai would be a cherished (珍爱的) friend. Her smile and good cheer made me feel better just being around her. Her voice was always full of happiness.It didn’t take long before Kai was beloved by everyone in our neighborhood. Children and adults visited her home often. Although she already had four cats, she also adopted (收养) a stray (流浪的) dog.When we visited her, she would kindly listen to all of our troubles and then say something so wise, and we would leave her home with our hearts singing. Sometimes I would read her my stories and she would always encourage me to keep writing.All of this time, though, Kai was slowly dying from cancer. She told me the first time we talked that she was terminal (晚期). But she lived each day with a positive attitude. Still, she died on a cold winter day with heavy snow falling down.During the short time we had together, I learned so much from Kai about how to truly live.

Giving all kinds of information is probably the biggest advantage of the Internet. We can use search engines to find the information we need. Just type in a keyword or keywords and the search engine will give us a list of suitable websites to look at.We can enjoy a lot on the Internet by downloading games, visiting chat rooms or surfing (浏览) websites. There are some games for free. We can meet new and interesting people in the chat now. We can also listen to music and see films.

Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual (个体的) ; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private (私人的) space of the individual. People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own. Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communications o I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped (瞪出) out of his head. I had invaded (侵犯) his space!A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don't have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long, you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don't know about. And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler!

One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you? ” “Of course, ” they answered. “How do you know ? ”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned. So mon's cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you 'to her? ” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love. I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Gradually, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged (拥抱) her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you. ”In my family we all say “I love you” a lot. While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those threelittle words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.14.

Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only.

（1）Edward rose early on the New-year morning. He looked in every room and wished a Happy New Year to his family. Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.When he came back, his father gave him two bright, new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them. He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.He left the house with a light heart, expecting to buy the books. As he ran down the street, he saw a poor family.“I wish you a Happy New Year.” said Edward, as he was passing on. The man shook his head.“You are not from this country.” said Edward.

But he pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold, as if (好像) to say, “These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in trouble. He took out his dollars and gave one to the man, and the other to his wife.They were excited and said something in their language, which doubtless meant, “We thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”When Edward came home, his father asked what books he had bought. He hung his head a moment, but quickly looked up.“I have bought no books”, said he. “I gave my money to some poor people, who seemedto be very hungry then.” He went on, “I think I can wait for my books till next New Year.”“My dear boy,” said his father, “here are some books for you, more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a New-year gift”“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family.

阅读理解专练（一）There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, "What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely. "The rose proudly said, "It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest. "Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, "Look at that ugly plant full of thorns（刺）! ""What a proud flower! " thought the trees.As the days passed. the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like "This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor ! "The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, "God did not create any form of life without a purpose. "Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt（枯萎）.One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus."The cactus has water?" asked the rose.Yes, you can also drink some from it.

If youanswered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的)exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but youdo it in aswimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weighabout 90% less in thepool. It is better for your knees than running orwalking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker andheavier than air. To movethrough the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result,youcan burn more calories (卡路里).In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stopthinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in controlof their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes themfeel good.But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothingto worry about.

In which part of a magazine can we read the text?A. Culture.B. Health.C. Nature.D.Travel.（三）Sometimes it seems that time is flying. Perhaps it doesn’t need to feelthis way. Our experience of time can be possibly changed. By understandingthe psychological(心理学的) processes behind our different experiencesof time, we might be able to slow down time a little.One basic law of psychological time is that time seems to slow down whenwe’re exposed(接触) to new environments and experiences. The law iscaused by the relationship between our experience of time and the amountof information our minds process. The more information our minds take in,the slower time seems to pass.It follows, then, that we have different experiences of time in different situations. In some situations, our life is full of new experiences. Our minds process a lot of information and time seems to slow down. In other situations, we have fewer new experiences and the world around us becomes more and more familiar(熟悉的). We become insensitive to our experience, which means we process less information, and time seems to speed up. How can we slow down time? Here are two suggestions.Firstly, since we know that familiarity makes time pass faster, we can expose ourselves to as many new experiences as possible. We can give ourselves new challenges, meet new people, and expose our minds to new information, hobbies and skills. This will increase the amount of information our minds process and expand(增加) our experience of time. Secondly, and perhaps most effectively, we can give our whole attention to an experience-to what we are seeing, feeling, tasting, smelling or hearing. This means living through our senses rather than through our thoughts. For example, on the way home, focus your attention outside of yourself, instead of thinking about the problems you have to deal with. Look at the sky, or at the buildings you pass, traveling among them. This open attitude to your experiences helps take in more information and also has a time-expanding effect.To a certain degree, we can understand and control our experience of time passing. It’s possib le for us to slow down time by expanding our experience of time.27. According to the writer, we can expand our experience of time by .A. going to bed on timeB. traveling to new placesC. having dinner as usualD. printing the same materials28. What can we learn from the passage?A. Being familiar with the world around helps us get more information.B. Understanding psychological time makes life pass more quickly.C. We can take in more information by living through our senses.D. We should build a stronger relationship between time and us.29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Slow Down TimeB. Only Time Will TellC. Race Against TimeD. Time Will Not Comc Twice （四）Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression (印象)?” It may sound likean unusual piece of advice, but it is true --- the firstimpression someone has of you when meeting you for the firsttime will probably influence how that person treats you orreacts to you in the future.What is even more interesting is that the brain takes inall the information to create that first impression in aboutthree seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, bythe time you have stated you name or shaken hands, the otherperson has already formed an opinion about the kind of personyou are.So how do you make a good first impression? All thingsgrown-ups tell you --- such as being polite, and beingwell-dressed --- are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is yourface. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you arehappy will almost always leave a positive ( 积极的) impression on people, especially those who do not know you.Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back whenthey are smiled at.Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helpsyou to know and get a better understanding of new things.This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people youdo not know and be more creative and able to solve problemsmore quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, thinkabout the wonderful people you might meet --- and impress--- with a cheerful smile.46.What does the underlined word “react” in Paragr aph 1 probablymean in Chinese?A.回应B. 道歉C. 报告D. 建议47.Which paragraph shows how soon others form opinions on you?A.
