一、九年级中考英语阅读理解（人生百味）（含答案详细解析）
1．阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

B
It was July 17th of 2017. The little helpless girl, who had trouble walking, was going out into the wide world. In June 2016, I got the idea that I was going to America as an exchange student. With tears in my eyes, I said goodbye to my family.
After I finally arrived at the airport in Burlington, Vermont. I was welcomed by my host family. They didn't know much about my disability. “I hobble a little, but I don't see it as a problem.” I think it's the will that decides what you can and cannot do, and the disability doesn't matter!
Before I went to the US, I knew I was going to miss home. But I went! Why? I've been a fighter ever since I decided not to give up my breath when I was born! My mother wrote my host mom an e-mail and told her about my hard birth so they would understand. I remember clearly after she finished reading it, she came into the room, gave me a big hug and said, “You are a fighter.” My host family supported me so much during the year. In school, small notes were sent out to all my teachers, by e-mail, to tell them about my disability. Everything worked greatly.
By the end of my year, exchange students were asked to talk about our years. I spoke in front of about 100 people! I was extremely proud of my “speech”. The following day some teachers stopped me and said, “Your speech was the best one.”
My year in Vermont was the best thing I've done so far! I proved I AM A FIGHTER and that NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

2．阅读理解
I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I thought that the act of writing is the coolest thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, my mother kept different things for my sister and my brother.“ But the desk，” She said, “it's for Helen.”
Although I knew she loved me and she only showed it in action, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. But they never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional （易动感情的）”，but she lived “on the surface”．
I had my own family later. 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 way she chose that she forgave me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn't come.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I wasn't even sure if the letter had got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I never heard from her!
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 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. when mother gave it to her
B. before she was badly ill
C. when she was a child
D. after mother died
（2）From the passage, we can know that the writer's mother ________.
A. was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B. was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C. cared much about her daughter in words
D. wrote to her daughter in careful words
（3）The un derlined word “gulf” means “________” in Chinese.
A. 理解
B. 鸿沟
C. 沟通
D. 港湾（4）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 Mother
B. Mother and Children
C. My Mother's Desk
D. Talks between Mother and Me
【答案】（1）C
（2）A
（3）B
（4）D
（5）C
【解析】【分析】本文叙述了作者的妈妈是从事写作的，经常看见妈妈在课桌旁忙碌，所以作者在小的时候，就喜欢妈妈的桌子了，妈妈也了解女儿的心思，在去世前把课桌留给了她，作者给妈妈的信也在课桌里找到了。

课桌寄托了作者对妈妈的思念之情。

（1）细节理解题。

根据I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. 可知，自从作者长到和桌子差不多高的时候，就喜欢上了妈妈的桌子，说明作者在小的时候，就喜欢妈妈的桌子了。

故选C。

（2）细节理解题。

根据短文第三段可知，作者的妈妈虽然爱作者，但是她只是付诸于行动，表面是冷漠的，但是内
心是对作者很好的。

故选A。

（3）词义猜测题。

根据Although I knew she loved me and she only showed it in action, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. But they never happened.因为妈妈没有和作者进行了交心的谈话，所以推测应该妈妈和女儿之间出现了鸿沟，故选B。

（4）细节理解题。

根据I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.可知，作者给妈妈写的信被叠了很多次，说明妈妈看了许多次，故选D。

（5）标题归纳题。

根据短文的内容可知，文章围绕妈妈的课桌写的，作者从小就喜欢妈妈的课桌，妈妈在去世前把课桌留给了作者，作者对课桌也充满了感情，同时也寄托了对妈妈的感情寄托。

故选C。

【点评】标题是文章中心思想的精炼表达，多为词组或短语，涵盖性强。

做这类题目时，要在阅读全文的基础上，以文章话题为核心，通过比较选项的概括性或覆盖面，得出正确的标题。

正确标题的归纳范围要恰如其分，避免过于具体或断章取义。

错误的干扰往往是局部信息，以事实，细节替代，概括大意。

5题干扰性最大的选项是A，作者给妈妈的信是短文后来提到的，并非贯穿短文内容的。

3．阅读理解
In a nice house there lived an old man. Behind the house there was a big garden. He planted many plants there. He took care of his flowers all the time, watering and fertilizing （施肥）them.
One day a young man went by the garden. He looked at the beautiful flowers, imagining how happy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place. Then, suddenly he found the old gardener was blind.

“Me? But you don't know me,” said the young man.
“Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. But I know that flowers are angels that everybody knows. We enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.”

4．阅读理解
Happiness is for everyone. You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.
In fact happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to challenge yourselves. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. If you take every chance you get, you will be a happy and lucky person.
（1）Happiness is for .
A. all people
B. those who have a lot money
C. those who have large and beautiful houses
D. those who have cars

【答案】（1）A
（2）B

【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章主要论述了快乐无处不在，只要你抓住你的每一次机会，你就会快乐。

（1）细节理解题，根据Happiness is for everyone.可知，快乐是每一个人的，也就是所有人的，故答案是A。

（2）细节理解题，根据When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it.可知，当你做错了事，你身边的人不帮助你改正。

故答案是B。

（3）句意猜测题，一般而言，金钱可以买到一切物质性的东西，但是快乐是内心的一种感受，是不能够用金钱买到的，因此说金钱并不能够总是买到一切。

故答案是A。

（4）标题判断题，从文章的第一句Happiness is for everyone.到文章的最后一句you will be a happy and lucky person.都是围绕着快乐展开论述的，故答案是D。

【点评】考查阅读理解，本题主要涉及到了细节理解题、句意猜测题和标题判断题，细节理解题一般可以直接从文中找到答案，句意猜测则需要根据其字面意思或者该句的前后句进行合理的想象和推理，而标题判断题则需要在从分理解文章的基础上，提炼中心，凝练句式。

5．根据内容，判断下列句子正误。

On a farm lived a father and a son. The father always got up early and read books by the stove. One morning, the son came up to him and said, "Dad, I read books at night but forget most of them the next morning. What's the good of reading?"
The father didn't reply to his question at once. He passed him a basket that was used to carry coal. He said, "Get some water from the river with the basket and then I'll tell you the answer."
The son felt surprised but he did as his father said. He tried many times but every time the water leaked （漏掉） from the basket.
An hour later, the son came back with the empty basket and told his father it was impossible to hold water with the basket. The father said with a smile. "Yes, you are right, my son. The basket can't hold water. But did you notice the basket was different?" The son found the dirty basket had become clean. The father continued, "Reading is like holding water with the basket. Although we can't remember all we read, we have changed while reading."

6．阅读理解
A few months ago, a friend of mine told me something about a woman named Virginia Feigles. Virginia Feigles had always planned to go to college. She couldn't make her dream come true when she was young because her parents were poor. She got married early, and soon became a mother. Year after year, time passed quickly.

【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要讲述了几个月前，我的一个朋友告诉我关于Virginia Feigles的故事。

她直到44岁才开始下决心改变自己的生活，并开始学习高中和大学的课程，通过自己的努力奋斗，最终成为了一名工程师。

（1）细节题，题意：Virginia Feigles开始当美发师的时候多大年龄了？根据第二段，After working as a hairdresser （理发师） for twenty years, she finally decided to change her life, when she was already forty-four.可知她44岁的时候已经当理发师20年了，所以她最初开始当美发师的时候是24岁，故选B。

（2）推断题，题意：划线部分"did that" 可以被下列哪个选项替代？根据划线词前面的but，可知表示转折，but前后意思相反。

联系上文Feigles申请在大学学习，她有很多次都想放弃，但是从来没有真的这样去做，指她没有停止在大学的学习，故选A。

（3）推断题，题意：根据文章内容，下列哪个选项可以被推断出来。

根据第二段She couldn't make her dream come true when she was young because her parents were poor.可知A项错误。

根据第三段she applied （申请） to Bucknell University. It was hard for her to study in the university. 可知C项错误。

根据末段Feigles' story inspired （激励） me a lot!和I decided to make some change to my life, too!可知Feigles的故事对作者的生活起到了作用，所以D项正确，故选D。

（4）主旨题，题意：从这篇文章中我们可以知道什么。

本文主要讲述Virginia Feigles直到44岁才开始决定改变她的生活，不畏困难地开始学习高中和大学的课程，并努力奋斗，最终成为了工程师的故事。

所以B项“活到老，学到老”最符合本文的主旨，其他三项并不能从文中得出，均错误，故选B。

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. Before Christmas Day, Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter （交款处） and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there!
There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.

"It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, 1 know you will feel as good about it as I do now."
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

"Never set foot in this house again!" shouted father. "BANG" the door closed behind me. With tears in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now … I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions on me. We are just like two people
coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without any aim in my mind. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the apartment where I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. All the lights were off except father's.
Dad was always like this. He has got used to arguing with me. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never said sorry to me. But after an argument he always came into my room secretly and made sure whether I was asleep.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe…With th e key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love is second to none.
