英语阅读理解（人生百味）100及答案（word）
一、九年级中考英语阅读理解（人生百味）（含答案详细解析）
1．根据短文理解，选择正确答案。

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives（观点） by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read books. Reading reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
（1）What can be inferred about the author as a child?
A. He never watched TV.
B. He found reading unbelievable.
C. He considered reading part of his life.
D. He read what he had to.
（2）The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”.
A. a belief
B. a way of writing
C. a sound quality
D. a world to write about （3）What effect does reading have on the author?
A. It opens up a wider world for him.
B. It helps him to realize his dream.
C. It makes his college life more interesting.
D. It increases his interest in worldwide travel.（4）Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A. How do I read?
B. What do I read?
C. Why do I read?
D. When do I read?
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）A
（4）C
【解析】【分析】作者从小的时候就非常喜欢阅读，这个习惯也让他有了成为一名作家的想法。

而这一梦想反过来又更加督促他去更多的阅读，因为这样他才能表达自己的思想。

作者觉得阅读对于他来说是很重要的。

（1）推理判断题。

根据短文第一段中I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing可知，作者从小生活在一个很少开电视，却有很多书的家庭里，他童年的大多数时候都是在读书中度过的，他觉得读书就像呼吸一样的自然。

由此可知，作者觉得读书是他生活的一部分。

故应选C。

（2）细节理解题。

根据短文中Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with.可知，作者想要成为一名作家，他觉得每个作家都是以阅读开始的，这样他才能找到正确的方式去表达自己的想法。

因此这里的voice指的就是一个作家的写作方式。

故应选B。

（3）推理判断题。

根据短文的最后一段Reading reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime可知，阅读对于作者来说是非常重要的，它可带着作者穿过海洋，沿着丝绸之路，去体验令人激动的经历，这些经历可能在作者的一生中不会拥有的。

因此选项中A选项最符合文意，阅读给作者打开了更广阔的世界。

故选A
（4）主旨大意题。

这篇短文介绍的是作者从小的时候开始就非常喜欢阅读，这个爱好还让作者想要成为一名作家，而这个梦想反过来又让作者读得更多，到大学的时候，作者意识到了阅读是多么的重要。

因此文章的主题是作者为什么阅读，不是怎样读、读什么或什么时候读。

故应选C。

【点评】这篇短文介绍了作者为什么喜欢阅读，整篇短文的内容不是很难理解，但是后面的题目需要学生对文章的主题有深层次的理解才能做出来因此理解文章的主题、了解作者的写作意图是做题的关键。

例如第2小题，划线的这个单词voice本意是声音，但是在文章里，它肯定不是这个意思。

根据这一段的意思可知，作者因为喜欢阅读而有了一个梦想，就是成为作家。

而想要成为作家，要去表达自己的思想，就需要更多的去阅读，这样他才能找到自己的写作方式。

因此这里的voice不是说出来的声音，而是作家笔下写出来的、能表达自己思想的声音，也就是作家的写作方式，因此应选B。

2．阅读理解
One day a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn,t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed.
Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground（研磨过的）coffee beans in the third pot.
He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter.
After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out
and placed it in a cup. Turning to her, he asked. “Daughter, what do you see?”
“Potatoes, eggs, and coffee,” she hastily r eplied.
“Look closer,” he said. She did and noticed that potatoes were soft. After pulling off the shell of the egg, she found the hard-boiled egg. Finally, the rich aroma from the coffee brought a smile to her face.
“Father, what does this mean?”She asked.
He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity– the boiling water.
However, each one reacted differently.
The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak.
The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.
However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they met the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.
“Which are you,” he asked his daughter. “Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? ”
（1）Why did the father take his daughter to the kitchen?
A. He was hungry
B. His daughter was hungry
C. He was unhappy
D. His daughter was unhappy

C. Coffee bean created something new.
D. All of the above.
（4）The underlined word “adversity” in the passage means__________.
A. Bad advertisement
B. Good advertisement
C. Bad situation
D. Good situation （5）What did the father and the daughter mainly talked about?
A. How to cook delicious food

【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）D
（4）C
（5）C
【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文讲述了女儿向父亲抱怨生活很悲惨，不幸的事一件接一
件，父亲通过分别把土豆，鸡蛋，咖啡豆，放进热水里煮，拿出来后的结果不同，来告诉女儿如何面对人生中的困难。

（1）推理判断题，开头第一段“One day a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn,t know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one prob lem was solved, another one soon followed.”可知女儿总是向他的父亲抱怨她的生活是悲惨的，她不知道怎样去面对她，她厌烦了一直反攻，挣扎，似乎一个问题解决了，另一个问题又来了，所以父亲带着女儿进了厨房，故选D。

（2）细节理解题，根据第二段中“he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot, and ground（研磨过的）coffee beans in the third pot.”可知没有放入番茄，故选A。

（3）细节理解题，根据原文中相对应的三句话“He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup：The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak；Then the inside of the egg became hard. ”可知A,B,C都正确。

故选D。

（4）词语辩词题，结合下文中the boiling water.可知是坏的环境，故选C。

（5）主旨大意题，根据第一段女儿向父亲抱怨人生的悲惨，困难接踵而至，不想再挣扎，而后根据下文父亲通过一个实验，问女儿“Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean? ”深层意思是让女儿选择在困难的环境中以怎样的态度去面对，故选择C。

【点评】这是一篇富含人生哲理的记叙文，学生应该学会深层理解文章的内涵。

3．阅读理解
There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life.
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. （1）From the last paragraph we learn that we _______.

4．阅读短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A man sees a butterfly. 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 （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 them fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we 1oюk 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 ________.

6．阅读理解
One Saturday, we were preparing to go away for the weekend when my daughter heard cries for help. When I went out, I discovered our elderly neighbor had fallen on her front steps. She was clearly in pain, so I helped her inside her house and settled here on the bed.
I noticed her room was very narrow and dark. It was obvious she hadn't cleaned it for a long time. She insisted she didn't need an ambulance（救护车）and that someone would be around soon, so I left her with a bottle of water at her side.
As I left I felt sad when I realized that we hadn't communicated with her, except a few smiles, for the past 18 months. She didn't know my name and I didn't know hers, and I hadn't even noticed that she hadn't been outside for weeks because of bad pain in her back.
That weekend I visited my grandmother for her 80th birthday and noticed how clean and spacious her flat seemed in comparison to my neighbour's. My neighbour, as far as I knew, had no family regularly dropping by.
When I returned home I went to visit her. Very grateful to see me, she explained she was okay. Yet, unable to bend down due to her back, her kitchen was filling with garbage that she was unable to take out by herself.
We've become good friends and chat every second day. She keeps thanking me for my kindness, but I enjoy helping her. Now, every time I return from putting out her garbage, collecting her mail or just chatting, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction and peace.

【解析】【分析】本文讲述了一个偶然的机会作者看见邻居摔倒在门前，他把邻居扶进屋后发现，邻居家很脏乱，原来她是一个孤寡老人，后背因为疾病不能弯曲。

作者很触动，对比了自己的祖母，他觉得邻居很无助。

于是他开始经常和她聊天，帮她做一些理所们能及的家务事。

（1）细节理解题。

根据第一段第二句“When I went out, I discovered our elderly neighbor had fallen on her f ront steps. ”可知当作者一家要离开时，一位老邻居摔倒了。

故作者感到很难过觉得没有关心到邻居。

故选B。

（3）词义推理题。

根据前文作者形容老邻居的房子是拥挤昏暗的。

后文提到祖母的家是与老邻居的家形成鲜明的对比的，故是明亮的宽敞的，故spacious的意思是大的，宽敞的。

故选C。

（4）归纳总结题。

根据阅读文章可知，前三个选项文中都没有提到。

根据最后一段第二句“ She keeps thanking me for my kindness, but I enjoy helping her.”可知老邻居对作者给予她的帮助非常感谢。

故选D。

（5）主旨大意题。

根据最后一段最后一句“Now, every time I return from putting out her garbage, collecting her mail or just chatting, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction and peace.”可知作者通过对老邻居的关心和帮她做一些力所能及的事，甚至是聊天让作者觉得很满足很安心。

故选B。
