We were driving in the right lane（车道）when, suddenly, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire（轮胎） made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.I was frightened. But then I couldn't believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn't believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital.”This is when my ta xi driver taught my what I now call, “The Law of the Rubbush Truck（垃圾车法则）.” He explained that many people are like rubbish trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger and full of bad feelings. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they'll throw it at you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray（祈祷）for those who don't.（1）Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?A. The writer went to the airport by taxi that day.B. The taxi driver stopped his car in time.C. The black car jumped out and crashed into the taxi.D. A car accident nearly happened on the writer's way to the airport.（2）The underlined word yelling in the second paragraph means in Chinese.A. 道歉B. 傻笑C. 吼叫D. 告别（3）Why did the guy get angry so easily?A. Because he was in a bad mood.B. Because his car was full of rubbish.C. Because he was badly hurt by the taxi.D. Because the taxi driver didn't say sorry to him.（4）From the passage, we can tell that the taxi driver is _______.A. silly and dishonestB. wise and friendlyC. helpful but nervousD. modest but impatient（5）What does the passage mainly tell us?A. Fight with people like rubbish trucks.B. Make friends with people like rubbish trucks.C. Have a quarrel with people like rubbish trucks.D.

DIn today's world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even lose their lives for it. Money does have its most useful effect（影响） on the poor, but once a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn't mean more happiness.If money was everything, all millionaires would have true love, true friendship, good health and a long life. However, this is not always true.Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words which are "I love you". But can love be bought? I'm afraid not. Love means to give, not to take. To every person, health and long life are probably the most precious（宝贵的） things. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is "No".Of all the longest living people in the world, few of them are millionaires. True friendship can't be bought either. In a word, where money is worshiped（崇拜）, money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with, no one to cry for. （1）According to the passage, which of the following do you think is right?A. Money is everything.B. Money isn't necessary.C. Money is important, but not the most important.D. With no money, with no success.（2）What's the most important thing for every person according to the writer?A. Only money.B. Health and a long life.C. Only friendship.D. A, B and C （3）Which sentence of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. If you haven't much money, you can't get more happiness.B. You may live a long life even if you are poor.C. Every year many people die in the world because their family is poor.D. If you are rich, you will have less friendship.（4）In fact, many millionaires _________.A. have true friendshipB. die earlierC. have good healthD. have true love （5）What does the sentence "Love means to give, not to take." mean?A. 爱意味着给你，而不能带走。

2020-2021年阅读理解（人生百味）测试题及答案经典1一、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That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers （抢劫犯）. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment （公寓房间）, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining street-light. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the street.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the street anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck （垃圾车） pull up to the street next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes."Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.（1）How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Disappointed and helpless.D. Satisfied and cheerful.（2）From the first paragraph, we learn that the writer was busy _________.A. solving her problem at the bankB. preparing for the first night showC. learning acting in an evening schoolD. taking part in various city activities（3）On her way home the writer __________.A. lost her wallet unknowinglyB. was stopped by a garbage truck driverC. was robbed of her wallet by an armed manD. found some homeless people following her （4）In the fifth paragraph, why did the writer say she was dreaming?A. Someone offered to take her back home.B. A red-haired man came to see her.C. Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.D. She heard someone call her name.（5）From the text, we can infer that the writer _________.A. would stop working at nightB. would give up her job at the bankC. would stay on in San FranciscoD. would make friends with cleaners【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D（5）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了作者在忙碌的工作之后感觉十分的失望无奈，只是在她回家的路上她的钱包在不知不觉中丢了，她在回去找钱包的路上遇到了归还钱包的清洁工，这份善良唤回了她对城市的信心。

2020届中考英语阅读理解50篇精品专项1Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighboring farms.For 35 years they farmed side by side, sharing machinery and goods as needed, without a single proble. However，one autumn，things changed.It began witha tiny disagreement about a horse，which grew into a major difference. The difference led to angry words, followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers.One morning there was a knock on Paul's door.He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox.“I'm looking for a few days' work，”the builder said.“Are there any jobs here I could help with?” “Yes, ”answered Paul, extremely pleased to see the builder.“I do have a job for you. Look at that farm across the creek(小溪).That's my brother's farm. That creek used to be a grass field, but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creek.But I'll go him one better.See that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence，two meters tall，so 1 won't need to see him anymore.” The builder said thoughtfully.“I think I understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you.” Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work.When he returned，the builder had just finished his job.Paul was shocked.Instead of a fence there was a bridge, stretching from one side of the creek to the other.As Paul stood on the bridge, staring in amazement，his younger brother Jason, cameacross, and took Paul's hand.“You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I've done，”said Jason. Then, Paul, with tears in his eyes, said to the builder who was packing his bag to go, “Thank you so much.

One of my father's friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie's place. We'd sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we'd bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest. Bernie was my father's idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie's wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don't take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life's small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.For many years, I forgot that lesson I'd learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.Well, I've relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That's the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling______. A. relaxed B. worriedC. hungryD. proud2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon? A. They ate it in a polite way. B. They only ate its best part. C. They ate every part of it.D. They shared only one piece.3. In the eyes of the writer's father, Bernie ______.A. was just a rich businessmanB. worked hard all the timeC. lived a rich but healthy lifeD. knew how to make money4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the best part of the watermelonB. the writer's busy lifeC. the writer's decision of making moneyD. the writer's hope of enjoying life5. It can be learned from the passage that ______. A. one has to work hard to reach his goal B. a friend in need is a friend in deed C. watermelon is the healthiest fruitD. one should keep work-life balance答案：ABCDD3Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,”he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.1. Hundreds of years ago there was a war between ________.A.

He held up a glass of water and asked the class, How heavy do you think this glass of water is?The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救护车).

There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be pleased onlybecause someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she'd said again, “it's for Elizabeth. ”I never saw her get angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any wayshe chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.1. The writer began to love her mother's desk ______.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her2. The passage shows that ______.A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneC. mother cared much about her daughter in wordsD. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words3. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______.A. deep understanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between the mother and the daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land4. What did mother do with her daughter's letter asking forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.5. What's the best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and ChildrenC.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.Paul answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish…” He hesitated(犹豫). Paul thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked atthe boy in surprise, and then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?” “Oh yes, I'd love to,” the boy answered.After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you minddriving in front of my house?”Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残疾的) brother. He sat down on the step and pointed to the car.“There he is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.
