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
I was in the fifth grade and about to take a Maths test. In the first grade I had always been good at school, and simple Maths was easy for me and I always did well on tests. When it came to the fifth grade Maths, I couldn't understand it no matter how hard I tried. Mom and Dad had always been so proud of my good grades and I didn’t want to let them down. Just before the test, I had written several of the answers on my desk. I sat nervously as the teacher started to hand out the test papers. I didn’t want to get caught，but I didn't want to fail the exam either. .
As the teacher was walking around me, suddenly the fire alarm went off. It was an unscheduled fire drill （消防演习）. We all rushed to the playground and stood together. As I stood in the warm sunshine, I realized what a fool I had been. I knew my mom and dad would be proud of me and love me no matter what my grades were. As soon as we were allowed to go back to the classroom, I walked to my desk and wiped （擦） the answers away. I had been given a second chance and I wasn’t going to waste it. I took the test, did my best, and felt at peace. I don’t remember what my grade was but that day has stayed in my heart and mind ever since.
I am not sure why God gave me a second chance that day. Life is foil of second chances, but you have to be willing to take them. You have to be willing to correct your mistakes. You have to be willing to follow your heart. Every day when you wake up, you are given a second chance in life.（1）When the writer was in the fifth grade, __________.
A. he did very well in all his tests
B. he had difficulty in learning Maths
C. his parents were angry with him
D. he didn’t work hard at Math s
（2）Why did the writer write the answers on the desk?
A. Because his teacher asked him to do so.
B. Because his parents asked him to do so.
C. Because he wanted others to copy him.
D. Because he didn’t want to fail the test.
（3）When the writer was standing outside, he thought of the following things EXCEPT
A. his teacher must catch him cheating
B. it was wrong for him to cheat in the exam
C. his parents would still love him even when he got bad grades
D. he shouldn’t write anything on the desk

（2）D
（3）A

【解析】【分析】本文记叙作者通过记叙一次数学考试想要“作弊”的事情，告诉我们要珍惜把握我们的二次人生。

（1）理解判断题。

由第一段中In the first grade I had always been good at school, and simple Maths was easy for me and I always did well on tests. When it came to the fifth grade Maths, I couldn't understand it no matter how hard I tried. 可知作者到五年级的时候，无论如何努力数学成绩总是不好。

故选B。

由短文中. Mom and Dad had always been so proud of my good grades and I didn’t want to let them down.可知作者不想让父母因为他的成绩而失望，因此他不想成绩不合格，故选D。

由As I stood in the warm sunshine, I realized what a fool I had been. I knew my mom and dad would be proud of me and love me no matter what my grades were. 可知当作者在外面站着的时候，他想到不管他的成绩如何他的父母都是为他感到骄傲的。

从而推断出他知道自己不应该在考试中作弊，不应该在桌子上写东西，而不是“他的老师会抓住他作弊”。

“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.”
The blind man's work opened our eyes and pleased our heart, which also made his life happier. It was just like Beethoven, who became deaf in his later life and wrote many great musical words. Beethoven himself couldn't hear his wonderful music, but his music

My teacher said to a student: "Give me your phone."
We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.
When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting about how they sent text messages and never got caught.
"Kyle, you stupid! I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks," one of them said.
"Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught?" the other one laughed.
They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it? Rules are there for a reason.
These two students might not get caught, but neither of them had good grades. They didn't pay any attention to the class, and I think they will keep doing this.
People don't just break big rules and get thrown into jail（监狱） overnight. They take it one step at a time. Kyle might have gotten caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It's smarter not to break small rules.
（1）Why did the teacher ask Kyle to give up his phone?
A. Because she wanted to find out what Kyle just texted.
B. Because Kyle was playing with his phone in class.
C. Because the students wanted to see Kyle's new phone.

B. calm
C. proud

（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
（5）C

根据 Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone. 可知老师让Kyle上交手机，因为凯尔在课堂上玩手机，故选B。

（2）词义猜测题。

根据Kyle, you stupid! I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks和 Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught 可推测出，两个学生最吹嘘自己怎么避免被老师发现玩手机, 可知boasting是吹嘘的意思，故选A。

（3）推理题。

根据 two students who I often saw text in class started boastingabout how they sent text messages and never got caught 两个学生开始吹嘘他们是如何发送短信的，但从未被抓到，故他们感到很骄傲才吹嘘自己，故选C。

（4）推理题。

根据 Kyle might have gotten caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future 凯尔可能被抓了，但至少他有了教训。

他将来不会违反规则，可知那两个没被抓到的学生以后会继续在课上玩手机，故选B。

（5）推理题。

根据 so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It's smarter not to break small rules 所以他会在课堂上学到更多，远离麻烦。

Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly（蝴蝶）. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis （蛹）. Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle（挣扎；奋斗） to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people
and make the fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.
（1）From the story we know that the butterfly can't fly because ________.
A. it gets out by itself
B. the man feels sorry for it
C. it tries to challenge itself
D. the man helps it come out
（2）Dennis's example shows that successful people should ________.
A. overcome the difficulties
B. take up business early
C. become the leaders of tomorrow
D. sell clothes from door to door
（3）The meaning of the underlined word "mature" in the passage is "________".
A. wake up
B. give up
C. grow up
D. bring up
（4）What is the writer trying to do in this passage?
A. Describe where a butterfly comes from.
B. Encourage young people to face challenges.
C. Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
D. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
（5）What is the best title for this passage?
A. Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement
B. Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively
C. Countries Should Continue to Become Successful
D. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）C
（4）B
（5）D
【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文论述了挑战在人生经历中是重要的，最终告诉人们：年轻人要学会面对挑战并战胜挑战。

（1）细节理解题，根据 The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis（蛹）. Feeling sorry for it,
the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle（挣扎；奋斗） to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! 可知，蝴蝶之所以不能飞是因为人帮助了他，他没有经过挣扎而离开蛹，所以不能飞，故答案是D。

（2）细节理解题，根据 For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them. 可知人要想成功，应该克服困难，故答案是A。

（3）细节理解题，根据 His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. 可知，他父亲去世后，他承担了养九口之家的重担，接受挑战并克服挑战，说明已经长大了，故答案是C。

The passengers on the bus watched with sympathy（同情） as Susan made her way carefully up the steps. She paid for the drive and then, using her hands to feel the seats, sat in one of them. It had been a year since Susan became blind. As the result of an accident she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness. Susan's husband Mark wanted to help his wife and made her feel hopeful again. He made his plans.
When Susan felt ready to return her job, but how would she get there? She used to take the bus, but she was now too afraid of getting around the city by herself. Mark volunteered to ride the bus with Susan each morning and evening until she could manage it by herself.
For two weeks, Mark went with Susan to and from work each day. He taught her how to depend on her other senses, specifically her hearing, to decide where she was.
At last, Susan decided that she was ready to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived. Before she left, she held her husband tightly, her eyes filled with tears of thankfulness.
