阅读理解专练(一) 人物与故事(限时20分钟)A(2018·安徽江淮十校联考)It was dawn of March 21, 2018.Gary Messina was on his morning run along New York City's East River.Suddenly something caught his eye —a large 60yearold man balancing on the fourfoothigh fence that guarded the path from the water.As Messina got closer to the scene, the man took a step forward and slipped into the dark river below.When Messina reached nearer, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim.Other joggers also heard the man's cry.David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in.“People had called the police, but it was unclear when they'd get there，”says Green.“We just reacted.”Messina joined them in the river.Just as the jumper was losing strength, Blauzvern took hold of him.The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caught up to him.They seized the man, with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina and Green holding him up from either side.As the men made their way toward the concrete seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction, Blauzvern had an awful realization: there was no way out of the river.By now, a crowd had gathered on land.“A rescue boat is on its way，”someone yelled to them.Swimming forward was getting tougher by the minute.The jumper, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers' arms.After ten minutes, they managed to get to the river's edge.“I've never been so out of breath，”says Blauzvern.Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river, the twoman rescue boat appeared.But because it couldn't risk getting too close to the seawall, the men had to swim out to it.“I was completely out of energy at this point，”says Blauzvern.The men in the water pushed the jumper while the men in the boat pulled him up and, finally, to safety.The man they had saved was taken to the hospital for evaluation (评估)．Details on his condition have not been released.As for the rescuers, each of them was at work by 10：30 a．m.“I was a bit late，”admits Blauzvern, smiling.“But I had a goodexcuse.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了一场路人勇救落水者的故事。

备战2021年中考英语考前时事热点话题阅读+题型专练热点11课外活动对发展的影响一、阅读理解1Children today would rather read,do housework or even do homework than play outside---and they get out half as much as their parents did when they were young.According to a UK study,those growing up during the1970s and1980s enjoying more than two hours of outdoor activities each weekday,and nine hours on weekends—whatever the weather is.But their children play outside for just over one hour each weekday,and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.So,the UK started an activity to encourage children to give up30minutes of screen time a day to play outdoors.The Wild Network,born on September25,2013,is joined by more than300organizations,large or small.It tries to attract children away from television and computer screen and into woods and parks.It is the biggest ever activity to reconnect children with nature and outdoor activities,and it plans to help improve children’s health.Suggestions on how to get more time in nature including collecting fruits,camping,watching autumn colour on trees and so on.This is not the first time the message of less screen,more play has been brought up.Children in the1980s were encouraged to_____by BBC TV show Why Don’t You,which encouraged children to“turn off your TV set,and go to do something less boring instead”.You can learn more about the activity by visiting .1.We can learn from

on the playground at Railway No.1Middle School in Xi’an.This activity was part of the English Art Festival in the school.The students in each class were divided into several groups.And each group sold different kinds of food.The students did the shopping and the cooking all by themselves.The students cooked delicious food such as fried chickens,potato chips and vegetables.They all worked hard and sold the food at low prices.The customers,who were the junior students,teachers and parents,all praised them for the nice food.“It’s really hard work,said one of the students who took part in the activity,“We must make a plan before the cooking.We must know how much we should spend on the things we need.Also,we must learn how to serve customers well.”“This activity is to give a chance to students to develop their practical abilities(实践能力),”said one teacher,“What’s more,the students will not only learn how to make money by their own hands,but also know the meaning of life.”6.“Food Street”was________.A.a street for students to sell food alongB.a kind of food sold by the studentsC.part of the activity about EnglishD.a competition for food prizes among the students7.It seemed that________.A.the food made by the students was not well receivedB.the prices of the food were too highC.the teachers and parents spoke highly of the studentsD.the students didn’t enjoy the

or staying at a healthy weight are regular exercise and good eating habits.Teens should get60minutes or more of physical activity a day.Note the word“activity”.As long as you’re getting your body moving,it doesn’t have to mean doing difficult exercise or going to the sports hall every day.All that matters is that each week you get the right balance of activity,including aerobics(有氧运动),strength building,and flexibility(柔韧)exercise.Make exercise a habit by arranging some time every day.On days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class,you may have no trouble exercising for an hour or more.But most of us are busy,and60minutes a day for exercise seems like a lot of time.The good news is that it’s OK to divide it into shorter exercise breaks throughout the day.Just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself from getting hungry,exercise snacks can keep energy levels high.So get up15minutes early and do some stretching(伸展)activity.Walk fast or run slowly for15 minutes after lunch.Do the same thing after school—or walk or bike home.Add to that taking the stairs,PE class, and walking between classes during the day,and you’ve probably reached your60minutes.11.The writer thinks many people probably misunderstand the word“activity”to be“_______”.A.physical activityB.body movementC.sports hall exerciseD.outdoor exercise12.When exercising,the most important fact is________.A.the time spent on exerciseB.the intensity of activityC.the difficulty of exerciseD.the right balance of activity13.The author advises dividing activity into shorter exercise breaks because___.A.exercising for a long time is bad for people’s healthB.it has the same effect as soccer practiceC.people usually haven’t much time to exerciseD.no one can spare lots of time to exercise14.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Regular exercise.B.School exercise.C.Indoor exercise.D.Difficult exercise4If you're ready to add more physical activity(体育运动)to your life,here are some tips(建议).Make physical activity of your routine,like brushing your teeth or going to work.Try biking to work at least once a week,using the stairs more often,or walking to some places near home.But talk to your doctor before you start an exercise routine,especially if you haven't been very active or have health problems.Walking is one of the best fitness(健康)activities.To keep up a routine,you can walk with family members, friends or pets.Count your steps with a step counter(计数器).You can buy one at a sporting goods store.If you don't have time for one30-minute walk,break it into three10-minute walks.Find an activity that you enjoy,and stay with it.Change it with other activities so you don't get bored.For example,walk three days a week,and swim or bike on the other days.Join a volleyball or basketball club for fun and exercise.By finding more activities you enjoy,you'll have a greater chance for success.15.What does the writer suggest doing before starting daily exercise?A.Talking to the doctor.B.Walking to work.C.Buying a step counter.16.How many tips does the writer mention when talking about the walking activity?A.TwoB.ThreeC.Four17.To avoid getting bored

brought to Britain in 1994from America.On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go with one of their parents to their work places.By doing this,it can teach girls more about the society where they live.Now the girls can have a close look at what their parents are doing.This may help them to be calmer when they have to choose a job.Mary experienced a day of work at her mother's office.This helped her understand her mother's work better.She said that this made her feel more confident about her future.Schools and many companies support the activity,too.Some schools even make the day a necessary part of school life.Experts think that girls with more self-confidence are more likely(可能的)to be successful than common girls. If parents can set good examples both at work and at home for them,they will do better than others.Take Our Daughter to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.19.On Take Our Daughter to Work Day,thousands of girls________.A.go on a journey with their parentsB.have a party with their friends at homeC.go to the work places of one of their parentsD.take part in a school activity

books.”Others dress up as famous Australian heroes(英雄)to celebrate the country’s history.“It is a fun way to focus on(集中于)reading and the children really enjoy it,whether(是否)they like reading or

Scientists have often blamed this on habitat loss or pesticide（杀虫剂）use.But a new study of butterflies in the western United States has found that warmer fall weather may be an equal,if not more,of a factor.Over the past four decades,more than450butterfly species have declined at an average rate of nearly2percent a year,according to a study published in Science.It’s already known that the western monarch butterfly has plummeted in population by99.9percent and was recently denied protection by Endangered Species Act in the U.S. But the study revealed lesser-known species,like the Boisduval’s blue and California’s state insect,the California dogface butterfly,are heading toward extinction."The influence of climate change is driving those declines,which makes sense because they’re so widespread," says study leader Mathew Forister.To reach their troubling findings,the researchers combined databases of the butterfly count conducted by scientists and amateur insect enthusiasts at72locations in the western U.S.To focus on the contribution of climate change,the researchers made sure to include locations that were relatively undisturbed by agriculture and human development to limit the influence of other threats to butterflies such as habitat loss and pesticides.More than200cities across the U.S.are experiencing warmer fall seasons.In Arizona,for instance,fall temperatures have risen by0.2degree Fahrenheit every decade since1895.As for why warming falls are so harmful,it may be connected to butterflies’hibernation-like diapause(滞育）in the fall.Warmer temperatures could be forcing the insects,most of which live around a year,to stay awake longer and starve.In other words,they’re "getting old and fragile and dying sooner".Given that butterflies are key pollinators（传花粉者),such declines predict bigger problems for plants and even whole ecosystems.Forister adds,"The climate effects will almost certainly affect many other insects;including bees."And these effects will"damage"efforts to protect and restore butterfly habitat.1.What does the underlined word"plummeted"mean in Paragraph2?A.Recovered slowly.B.Decreased sharply.C.Escaped suddenly.D.Evolved rapidly.2.What did the researchers do in Paragraph3?A.They ruled out the effects of human activities.B.They tried to protect the habitat of butterflies.C.They refused to use amateurs’science data.D.They identified other threats to butterflies.3.How do warming falls affect butterflies?A.They affect butterflies’natural life cycle.B.They slow down butterflies’aging process.C.They cause butterflies to lose more habitats.D.They force butterflies to compete for survival.4.What is the main purpose of the text?A.To discuss the importance of butterfly species.B.To suggest a way to fight against climate change.C.To introduce new methods of studying butterflies.D.To present a new factor in a species population decline.解析：1.B理解词汇根据第二段第一句中的"Over the past...2percent a year"可知，在过去的40年里,450多种蝴蝶的数量以平均每年近2%的速度诚少。

牛津上海版高二年级英语第一学期话题阅读(一)society and life(有答案)

话题阅读（一）Society and Life（A）Christine Yu is single and successful. A senior auditor with a large company, Yu __1her free time practicing English at a language club and dancing. She does not spend her free time trying to find the 2 man.At 29, Yu is part of a new generation of young urban Chinese women, who say they have more choices than their mothers did when it 3 to education, careers and, especially, marriage.For centuries, Chinese women were expected to 4 themselves to their families and husbands, but that attitude is 5 fast. In a 2004 survey by the Asian Women' s Forum and the Women' s Studies Center at Peking University, saying that 45.3% of women did not think they should have to give up a career for a family life.China now boasts a generation of educated career women. Nearly three-quarters of Chinesewomen want to be financially 6 , a survey found last year.1-5. IJFEH 6-9. ABGC（B）Until recently, most population growth has occurred in relatively crowded cities. In other words, _1 we found rapid population growth, that would not mean that the 2 were filled with people.Historically, we find that people have moved to 3 the jobs were. Jobs were usually in ports or places with many natural resources. After transportation became relatively 4 , other places became 5 of economic activity. One factor that determines where people will move to, even when transportation becomes cheap, is 6 . And peopleworking in cities 7 higher incomes than those working in the countryside. So population has begun until the 1970s to _8in our major urban centers. If people did not9 from living in large cities, there would likely be a much more population distribution throughout our entire land area. Probably, if this were the K), there would be 11 concern over population explosion. Indeed, one need only to arrange a cross-country drive or plane trip to 12 how sparsely(稀疏的) populated the United States really are. This is 13 that we should or should not do something about population growth. The shortage of 14 in certain areas shows that overpopulation in the United States is really only a problem in overcrowded 15 .And this problem may be slowly corrected by itself.1.

CBABD 6-10. CABDB 11-15. CDBAC（C）City traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are gettingmore and more crowded. So during "rush hour", when people are going to or from their work, traffic is brought to a standstill. It has been suggested that commuters should share their cars and give each other lifts. So each car would carry four or five people instead of only one. It is an excellent idea, however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to compel people to do so.To discourage motorists from leaving their cars in the streets all day, parking meters are used. When you park at a meter, you must put a coin in the slot. This pays for a certain amount of time. The meter records this and it shows when the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is still there then, you have to pay a fine.Traffic wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter registers "Time expired", the motorist who has left his car there is fined. Of course, the traffic warden cannot wait for the owner of the car to return. He carries a block of printed forms, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the registration number of the car, where it is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily; he usually pushes it under one of the windscreen wipers so that it will not blow away. And in case it rains before the motorist returns the form is put in a little plastic envelope to protect it. When the driver comes back, he gets an unpleasant surprise, but it is his own fault for leaving his car too long at a parking meter.Word Bankcompel v 强迫expire v 时间已到registration number n. 注册车牌parking meter 计量器warden n. 监管人1. The underlined word "standstill" means_____________________ .A. rushB. stopC. adventureD. struggle2. Which detail is not written on the printed form?A. Registration number of the car.B. The place where the car is parked.C. The name of the car owner.D. The place to pay the fine.3. Which is not true about the parking meters?A. People can put coins into it.B. It keeps a record of the time when drivers park their car.C. It shows people when they have to drive away the cars.D. It warns the drivers ten minutes before the time limit.4. What's the advantage of using parking meters in the streets?A. It makes it possible that everyone has a place to park his car.B. It discourages motorists from parking cars for too long a time.C. It saves labor because traffic wardens are no longer needed.D. It keeps a record of time and drivers can put the parking fine into it.1-4. BCDB（D）A picture, a calendar or even a balloon may be the best way for million of people living in China's vast country areas to learn about AIDS, one of the biggest threats to public health in the world today.China has decided to use user-friendly methods including exhibitions, VCDS and TV programmes to spread knowledge of the disease across the nation to try to keep it in check. Educating people nationwide about AIDS is the top priority to prevent the disease from getting out of hand. The farmers will be given knowledge in the easiest way that they can understand.A recent survey from the commission of more than 7,000 people in China showed that nearly20 percent of them had never heard of AIDS before. Just over 71 percent said they knew AIDS was highly infectious , but most of them had no clear idea of how the disease could be spread. Just over 62 percent said they knew they could do things in advance to prevent them catching AIDS but they didn't know what these measures were.The month-long survey, carried out last December, talked to people in seven counties and cities across China including both developed coastal areas and the less-developed inland areas. The interviewees changed from 15 to 49 years old, and country residents were about 63% of the total surveyed.Chinese residents, especially those in the country, have very little knowledge about that AIDS is all about, not to mention prevention and treatment. By the end of last year, there were 22, 517known HIV/AIDS cases in China. However, more than 6,000,000 people in China have been infected.Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS—466 of them have died. Sharing needles, complicated sex relations and contaminated blood transfusions are major ways for HIV to spread. A lack of education has been the biggest difficulty against nationwide efforts to prevent AIDS, especially in the countryside.Word Bankpriority n. 优优优infectious adj. 优优优commission n. 优优优contaminated adj. 优优优5. The author 's purpose in writing the passage is to.A. show his concern about the health of peopleB. make people know about AIDSC. call on people to fight against AIDSD. tell us people are short of the knowledge of AIDS6. The greatest difficulty against the nationwide effort to prevent AIDS lies inA. misunderstanding of peopleB. the shortage of moneyC. its infectionD. lack of education7. "Since 1985, China has discovered 880 patients with AIDS—466 of them had died. " Do you know why?A. Because their families refused to cure them.B. Because they had been in low spirits for a long time.C. Because there weren't enough effective measures to treat AIDS.D. Because they couldn't lead a normal life like other healthy people.8. It is judged that there are people hit by AIDS in China at present.A. 22,527B. over 6,000,000C. 880D. over 7,0005-8. CDVB（E）The flat, at the top of a huge tower block in a northern suburb of London, was empty. It had been vacant for a long time, a year or eighteen months perhaps. The landlord was living abroad, it seemed. The staircase creaked, the dust flew up in clouds from the worn carpet and rainwater dripped from a hole in the ceiling on to the floorboards below. Both windows on the landing were cracked and curtainless. The light worked but there was no shade and electric wire black with spider webs.Very carefully they inspected the rooms. All were empty. There were two ancient leather armchairs in one, together with an old oak table, covered with dust, and an enormous double-bed in the front room—too large, probably to go through the door. All over the floor lay pieces of newspaper, broken canvases, coat hangers and other grubby oddments."What do you think?" asked the man. He was about twenty years old, unshaven, wearing a thick sweater, jeans and muddy boots."It's better than nothing," answered the girl. She was carrying a small child wrapped in a blanket. She herself wore a loose coat and a long skirt that touched the floor."We can clean it up," the man said. "That hole in the ceiling will need repairing but that's about all. A coat of paint and a few rolls of wallpaper will cover up the cracks. "They had taken over the flat because they needed a home and could not, at that time, afford to buy one. Being on the city's housing waiting list hadn't helped much either. Now they would live in this flat until they found something else—somewhere to bring up a family in.Word Bankcreak v. 吱吱嘎嘎作响9. According to the passage, the underlined part "grubby oddments" (Para. 2) most probably means " ".A. dirty bits and piecesB. current issues of magazinesC. fashionable carpetsD. fresh milk10. The appearance of the man could best be described as.A. charmingB. seriousC. casualD. handsome11. When he says "but that's about all" (Para. 5), the man means "".A. but there is little else that needs repairingB. but that is just a beginningC. but there are repair jobs to be done everywhereD. but there are holes all over the ceiling12. What could be said about their previous efforts to obtain accommodation?A. They had just waited for something to happen without doing anything to help themselves.B. They had already put their names on a local authority housing list.C. They had not attempted to save money in order to buy a home of their own.D. They liked moving house frequently and did not want to settle down.9-12. ACAB。

牛津上海版高二年级英语第一学期话题阅读(一)stories(有答案)

话题阅读（一）stories(A)Henry's job was to examine cars which crossed the frontier to make sure that they were not smuggling anything into the country. Every evening __1at the weekends, he would see a factory worker coming up the hill towards the frontier, 2a bicycle with a big load of straw on it. When the bicycle reached the frontier, Henry used to stop the man and make him take the straw off and 3 it. Then he would examine the straw very 4 to see whether he could find anything, after which he would look in all the man's pockets before he let him tie the straw again. The man would then put it on his bicycle and go off down the hill with it. Although Henry was always 5 to find gold or jewellery or other valuable things hidden in the straw, he never found anything even though he examined it very carefully. He was sure that the man was smuggling something, but he was not able to imagine what it could be. Then one evening, after he had looked through the straw and emptied the factory worker's pockets 6usual, he said to him, "Listen, I know that you are smuggling things across this frontier. Won't you tell me what it is that you're bringing into the country so 7 ? I'm an old man, and today's my last day on the 8 . Tomorrow I'm going to 9 . I promise that I shall not tell anyone if you tell me the truth." The man did not say anything for some time, then he smiled, turned to Henry and said quietly, "Bicycles."1-5. A D F G H 6-9. E C J B(B)Mrs. Jones was over eighty, but she still drove her car like a woman half her age. She loved driving very fast, and always took __1in the record that she had never, in her thirty-five years of driving, been 2 for her driving too fast. Then one day she 3 lost her record. A police car was following her and the policeman in it saw her 4 a red light without stopping. When Mrs. Jones was brought before the 5 , he looked at her and said that she was too old to drive a car and that the 6 why she had not stopped at the red light was 7 probably that her eyes became weak 8 old age so that she had simply not seen it. When the judge had finished what he was saying, Mrs. Jones opened her big handbag, from which she took outher sewing. Without saying a word, she chose a 9 with a very small eye and threaded it at her first attempt. When she had 10 done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and thread to the judge, saying, "Now it is your 11 .

She is bound for a three-month, 1,500-mile solo hike across Antarctica.In the Antarctica, where temperatures can drop to 40 degrees below zero, she plans to walk at least 12 hours a day, with about five minutes of rest every hour. Anything longer will make her body temperature drop too much. Anything too tiring will make her sweat and freeze. She spent two years getting in shape for this venture, with a workout plan that included 10-mile runs, 20-mile hikes and hours of weight training each week. Thayer also put in a daily hour pulling a pack loaded with concrete, to train her for the pack—full of carefully weighed items—she'll carry across Antarctica.Every little thing counts. The handle of her toothbrush has been cut off to make it lighter. Her wedding ring is in her left jacket pocket keeping her link with husband Bill, because it could freeze on her finger and cut off circulation.For three months, only her journal will keep her company. No music, no books. "There's going to be plenty to keep me occupied and boredom will not be a factor," she said with a smile. "I make this plan mainly for the sake of my kids— through what I can gatherthrough my camera lens and my notes for them. I want them to learn how to set goals, plan for success and be the best they can.

It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message.The statement read: " Mrs Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision ever since her medical test this morning." I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting St. John's word for her medication. Now Mrs Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She's probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn't have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs Jones called. Her vision was fine. It turned out that she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had cloudedmine. Now I came for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose, treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.W ord Bankblurred vision 视觉模糊diagnose v. 诊断A.

He painted a sign advertising the pups and setabout nailing it to post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail in to the post, he felt a tug on his coat. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy."Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies.""Well," said the farmer, "these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?""Sure," said the farmer.And with that he let out a whistle, "Here, Dolly!" he called.Out from the doghouse ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy stepped towards the fence. His eyes danced with delight.As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else moving inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this one noticeably smaller. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began running toward the others, doing its best to catch up."I want that one," the little boy said.The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need someone who understands."The world is full of people who need someone who understands.Word Bankpub n. 幼小动物tug n. 猛拉nail v. 用钉子钉brace n. 钢柱9.

高考阅读话题作文素材(精选10篇)

高考阅读话题作文素材(精选10篇)高考阅读话题作文素材（篇1）一位苏联作家高尔基说过：“书籍是人类进步的阶梯”。

的确，书籍启迪了人类的心灵并增长了人类的智慧。

书香是什么味？既浓郁又新鲜，它使人们干枯的心灵被滋养。

我最喜欢的一本书便是罗贯中写的《三国演义》，史书上说这是历史上第一部白话长篇小说。

这本书主要讲了三国时期，魏蜀吴三国分裂的局面已经产生，三国各自的君主为实现统一，争夺帝位的史事。

我最初发现这本书是在书店里，被它的封面吸引：一位骑着“的卢”，手持双股剑站在中央，一副英雄气概。

另一位脸色泛红，手握青龙偃月刀，骑着汗血宝马—赤兔马。

最后一位全身黝黑，手中拿着丈八蛇矛，异常威猛。

我觉得这本书一定十分有趣。

这究竟是一本怎样的书？怀着好奇心翻开了书，看到目录时，心情激动起来：三顾茅庐，三次去那草房子干什么？单刀赴会，去赴宴带一把刀去刺杀谁？七擒孟获，孟获是谁，如此难捉？怀着满满的疑问，买下了这本书。

回到家读了这本书，心中无数的疑问才被解答，三顾茅庐是去求取能人，单刀赴会是防身所备，七擒孟获也是为了让孟获心服口服…。

，一个个谜被解开，读完后既轻松又愉悦，对它可以说是爱不释手。

一位作家说过：“书籍是一种营养品”。

的确，它如营养品一样让我有所收获。

正巧赶上了一次学校举行“四大名著”的知识竞赛，一半以上考的是《三国演义》中的内容，对于它我早已倒背如流，在同学冥思苦想时，我早已答完。

其实，这本书的价值并不只在于让我在竞赛中取得名次，更重要的是它教会我许多道理：刘备教会我正直；张飞教会我勇敢；诸葛亮教会我冷静机智……我遇到挫折，会想到庞统，告诫自已只是才能未被发现。

在我受到嘲讽时，我会想到周瑜，有时也许不必在意。

这本书给予我的远远不止这么多，我喜欢这本书给予我的信心与坚强。

《三国演义》是我最喜欢的一本书，但其它的书我也喜爱：《哈佛凌晨四点半》教我学习的方法；《狼王梦》教我明白母爱的伟大；《狼图腾》教我明白世间生命的平等……沉浸在书香的世界中，我感到了无与伦比的快乐。

九年级英语单元话题阅读训练题(第一部分)附答案

第一阅读理解话题（1-1）Li Ruyan, 13 years old, did something special last summer with his classmates in Shanghai. They worked in groups with traffic police at different crossroads in the city. Holding small red flags, the students helped keep order and stopped people from jaywalking (乱穿马路). As part of the school project, Li’s school has encouraged its students to do more community (社区) work. After the half day of exhausting work, Li told himself not to jaywalk anymore.“I think through community work we get to help others and, more importantly, we grow a sense of responsibility (责任感),” he said.Community service is an important part of education for teenagers around the world. In the US and Canada, high school students need to finish 40 hours of community service beforegraduation. In America, those who have finished 1,400 hours of community work can be awarded nearly $5,000 (33,000 yuan).Chinese students today do more community work, too. For example, starting from 2010, Sichuan high school students have been asked to do 10 days of community work. It will become part of their school grades.Qian Lijun, 16, and her classmates in Suzhou, Jiangsu went to a local elder care home this winter. They put Spring Festival couplets (对联) on the walls and cheered up the people living there.Li Xiaotian, 15, in Anshan said he used to clear flyers (小广告) from telephone poles (电线杆) with his classmates. They brought tools, towels and buckets and worked for three hours under the summer sun. “It was tiring, but seeing the clean poles without ugly ads, we really felt proud,” he said.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

英语话题阅读练习题

英语话题阅读练习题1. 问题导向阅读理解练习In recent years, the growing popularity of smartphones has significantly impacted people's lives. One noticeable change is the rise of mobile applications or apps. These apps cater to various needs and interests, ranging from social media and entertainment to health and productivity.One popular category of apps is language learning apps. With these apps, users can conveniently improve their language skills on the go. They offer a range of interactive exercises, vocabulary memorization techniques, and even real-time communication with native speakers. This has revolutionized the way people learn languages, making it more accessible and engaging.However, like any tool, language learning apps have their pros and cons. On the positive side, they allow learners to practice at their own pace and convenience. The flexibility of app-based learning means that one can fit language practice into their busy schedule, whether it's during a commute or a lunch break. Additionally, the gamification elements incorporated into many apps make the learning process enjoyable and motivating.On the other hand, some argue that language learning apps cannot replace traditional methods entirely. While they provide ample practice in reading and listening, they may fall short in developing speaking and writing skills. Language is a means of communication, and face-to-face interactions are often necessary to fully grasp its intricacies. Moreover, apps lack the personal touch and tailored guidance that teachers provide, especially when it comes to individualized feedback and correction.In conclusion, language learning apps have undoubtedly transformed the way people learn languages. They offer convenience, flexibility, and gamified learning experiences. However, they should be seen as a supplementary tool rather than a complete substitute for traditional teaching methods. Achieving fluency in a language requires a well-rounded approach that combines the benefits of technology with human interaction.2. 阅读理解题目区阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容判断句子的正误。

[专题]亲情话题阅读训练及答案

课外阅读专题训练(一)——亲情篇（一）礼物灯光很暗，女儿在母亲的床边站了一会儿，然后轻轻地把一个包装很精致的工艺品盒放在母亲的身边。

那是女儿送给母亲的生日礼物。

母亲依旧香甜地睡着，不时地发出轻微的酣声，借着不很明亮的灯光，女儿发现母亲又瘦了许多。

挂钟轻轻地敲了几下，女儿便背起了书包和画夹，蹑手蹑脚地退出了房门。

天边还没有露出鱼肚白，朦朦胧胧的月色里，小星星还在不停地眨着眼，借着月光，女儿欢快地朝一所很远的学校走去。

那是一所新校舍。

是一幢很高很高的大楼。

尽管路途遥远，但那是女儿心中向往已久的艺术殿堂。

没入学那会儿，女儿常常做梦。

梦见高耸的大楼和大楼里辉煌的一切。

接到录取通知书的那天，女儿高兴地依偎在母亲的怀里，母亲欣喜地流了泪。

可是，入学要交纳1万元，建校费，1万元呀，到哪去弄呢？入学的日子一天天地逼近，女儿也在这忐忑不安的焦灼中等待。

终于有一天，母亲颤抖着双手把一叠大小不一的纸币小山似地堆在了女儿的面前，数数，整整1万元人民币。

母亲病倒了。

夜里不断剧烈地咳嗽。

失去光泽的面孔，常常现出疲惫不堪的样子。

在女儿的眼里，母亲好久没有睡上一个完整的觉了。

母亲不很老，却有了白发。

女儿流泪了，她在心里暗暗发誓，有朝一日，一定要加倍回报母亲的爱！放学归来的路上，女儿一脸的阳光灿烂，思绪里不断勾勒着母亲看见她的礼物时欣喜、激动的样子。

要知道，这件小小的礼物是她用画笔辛勤勾勒了近一个月才换来的。

为了买下它，女儿在那家工艺品店的橱窗前踌躇过多次。

女儿特别欣赏雕像中的女孩和女孩旁慈祥的母亲，仿佛那就是她与母亲的化身。

推开房门，女儿呆住了。

母亲眼角挂着泪痕，脸上现出难以掩饰的失望与愠怒。

她刚想问，就见母亲转身从里屋捧出那个包装很精致的盒，走到女儿身边，“慧慧，你怎么学会乱花钱啦，看看你买的是什么玩艺儿，袒胸露背的，连件衣服都没穿，多寒碜人哪。

”？“妈，这是一座母女雕像，是送给您的……”“好了，好了，就算是你有这份孝心，可买这能顶什么用啊，怎么摆得出呀！”母亲把工艺品盒朝女儿怀里一推，“去，跟人家好好说说，退了吧。

After the air gets warmer, it starts to move quickly, making wind. The wind goes in circles, and it keeps moving higher in the sky. The warmer the air gets, the quicker the wind moves. And when the wind moves faster than 30 meters a second, a typhoon begins.A typhoon has two parts. One is called the “eye”. In the eye, the wind does not move so fast. The other part is the wall of clouds around the eye. This is where the strongest winds and hardest rains are.Typhoons are very dangerous. In 2004, Typhoon Yunnan killed 164 people in Zhejiang, and 24 people were missing. In May 2006, Typhoon Pearl hit Guangdong and Fujian, and thousands of houses were damaged.What to do when a typhoon hits● Stay in side.
