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 ________.
A. when mother gave it to her

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?

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。

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of 50.In fact, they say by the age of 85, people are happier with their life than they were when they were 18 years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than 340, 000 adults in the United States. The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.The researchers asked questions about emotions, like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental（气质） or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of 24 and 25.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings. So they spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be connected with changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed（被解雇） or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect （影响） the levels of happiness.
（1）Who would probably show the greatest interest in the passage?
A. Those who are worried about getting old.
B. Those who are single and unemployed.

B. At the age of 25.
C. At the age of 35.
D. At the age of 40.（3）According to Arthur Stone's idea, old people may .
A. control their behaviors better
B. know how to spend money wisely
C. dream about good things every day
D. have a positive attitude towards their life
（4）What would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Younger, the Happier
B. The Young Are Happier than the Old
C. Getting Older Means Getting Happier
D. Women Are Easier to Be Happy in Life
【答案】（1）A

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
（2）When you do something wrong, .

A. Life and Success
B. Happiness and Luck

【答案】（1）A
（2）B
（3）A
（4）D
【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．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
（3）C
（4）A
（5）B
【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。

在我们成长过程中，我们不能从容面对失败和困难，而变得虚伪和恐惧，我们需要真实的自我和面对失败的勇气。

（1）细节理解题。

根据句中第一段第三句：“The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again.可知，小男孩时不时地跌倒，爬起来。

故选C。

（2）细节理解题。

根据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.可知对于孩子们来说，当他们跌倒时，他们不认为跌倒是个失败，相反，他们把它当作一次学习经历。

故选D。

（3）细节理解题。

根据Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. 大部分的成年人，当他们失败的时候只会小题大做，甚至不愿意再做第二次尝试。

故选C。

（4）词义猜测题。

根据They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again.大部分的成年人，当他们失败的时候只会觉得尴尬，不愿意再做第二次尝试。

故选A。

（5）主旨大意题。

从全文中可以看出作者对于失败是很乐观的，失败了可以当做一次学习的机会，以后再尝试。

再就是端正态度，失败是不可避免的，要想得通。

故选B。
