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'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 ________.

（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?

B. For years, she often talked about the letter.

D. She read the letter again and again till she died.

【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。

【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。

7．阅读理解
One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison（监狱） . The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure（失败） .
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence（坚持不懈） and the manner in which he did.（1）What did the little boy do when he fell down?
A. He cried and lay on the grass.
B. He asked his mother for help.
C. He got up and went on running.
D. He got up and stood there crying.
（2）In the writer's opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as?
A. A failure.
B. A joke.
C. An interesting game.
D. A learning experience.（3）In the writer's opinion, why can't many adults succeed?
A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.
B. Because they can't find a good excuse.
C. Because once they fail, they won't attempt again.
D. Because they don't allow themselves to make mistakes.
（4）The underlined word " attempt" in Paragraph 2 means .
A. 尝试
B. 放弃
C. 面对
D. 怀疑（5）What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. All roads lead to Rome.
D. Each coin has two sides.
【答案】（1）C
（2）D

【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述的是作者的一次观察男孩跌倒后自由奔跑所得到的启示。

The first time I ever really noticed a disabled person, I was studying in the third grade. I saw
some disabled people before, but I never really knew or cared about what those persons go through.
When a new student arrived in my third grade class, I thought it would just be a common student, but this student was different. His name was Derek and he had autism. He sometimes had random outbursts（随意发作）during class and we would stand there, doing nothing because we didn't know why he was doing that. When he sat down at desk, we would try to get away from him. After class, we would play jokes on each other, imitating（模仿） Derek, and laughing about it.
Then one day, Derek's mom came to our class and talked with us. She told us that Derek wasn't just having random outbursts--he was trying to communicate. Then she chose a volunteer and filled that person's mouth with soft sweets. When we found the volunteer had great trouble in trying to speak, the mother explained that was what Derek was going through every day. We all understood her meaning.
After this talk, no one tried to make fun of Derek or run away from him. We accepted his outbursts in class and he became one of our friends. Having a class with Derek has taught me to have an open mind to those who are different from us. My experience in having an autistic classmate has provided me with a good lesson.
Now whenever I meet a family with a child who's behaving differently, I always remember what I have learned in my third grade clams and go up to him or her.
