2019中考（人新）英语九全U9阅读练习及答案
A
“Am I my brother’s keeper?” The question comes from the Bible(圣经). In the Bible, Cain kills his brother Abel. When God asks Cain where Abel is, he replies, “I don’t know. Am I my brother’s keeper?” by which he means, “Am I resp onsible (有责任心的) for my brother—his safety and health?” The answer, of course, is “Yes, you are.”This sense of responsibility for others is basic to all good societies. And also it is basic to what we call “civil(文明的) society”. China is now working on buil ding a civil society and the high schools in Shanghai want students to take part in that through volunteering. They are supposed to do sixty class hours of volunteer work before graduation. This is something new in China, but it is not new in other countries. In the Canadian province of Ontario, high school students are required to do forty hours of volunteering. In some American states, the volunteering requirement is one hundred hours. These students spend about an hour a week during the school year and summer vacations, helping the poor, the sick and the old. They also teach young children to read and help to clean up the environment. And studies have shown that this volunteering experience influences students a lot after graduation.
Some of you may be th inking, “Gee, sixty class hours is a lot. How can I find the time?” In fact, if you finish it in three years, you only need to do the work about three class hours a month. And the time is well spent if it helps you realize that “being your brother’s keeper” makes you a better person and makes society a better place for everyone.
1． A Shanghai high school student should finish class hours of volunteer work before graduation.
A. thirty
B. forty

D. one hundred

Last month, on Oct. 15, there was a marathon(马拉松赛) in the city of Luoyang, Henan Province. A lot of people in and around the city took part in it.
It was Sunday. There were some clouds in the sky in the early morning but the sun was shining when the race began. Eighteen boys and girls in my class, as well as four of my teachers, gathered on the south side of Luohe River to take part in the marathon. It was the first time that we had been in a marathon. We were excited and had fun running with people. We had to run 10 km. It was not a race, but an event to challenge ourselves. We helped each other during the run. When someone fell behind, others would go to encourage him or her not to give up. Tired but happy, all of us made it in about 90 minutes.
The marathon is like life, in which we can choose whether or not to keep going when we feel tired or meet difficulties. The biggest enemy(敌人) is ourselves, whom we should fight with and defeat(打败). We never know what will happen in the future, but what we can do is to try our best. If we can keep running, success will belong to us, because it's impossible to defeat a person who never gives up.
Challenges make life interesting and meaningful. This very first marathon will always be remembered as an unforgettable event in my life.

“You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his finger through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn't know it was the Queen's horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.
Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror's silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.
“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.”“That's easy,”Peter said. “I'll take the chicken.” Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.
“And why did you choose the chicken?” the queen asked. “Well, I don't know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”
Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only coloured glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed.
“Thank you, your majesty.”
“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “ I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?”Peter smiled.“Thank you very much!” he said excitedly. A job at the castle paid well. Now his family wouldn't worry their food any more—all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice!

[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。

小男孩彼得无意中制服了Olivia的一匹受惊吓的马,女王为表示感谢,让彼得从珠宝和一只小鸡这两件礼物中选择其一,彼得出人意料地选择了小鸡,他对自己选择所做的解释,让女王很满意,她让彼得替自己看护皇宫里所有的马,从此彼得一家过上
了幸福的生活。

文章告诉我们:不要被金钱等表面华丽的东西所迷惑,守住真诚的初心,做出人生正确的选择很重要。

1.A 细节理解题。

根据第一段的开头可知:女王是因为彼得制服、拯救了她的马,才决定要送给他礼物的。

故选A。

2.C 推理判断题。

A项“彼得很难做出选择”,由第三段中的“That's easy”可知A项不对;根据第三段最后一句“It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.”可知B项“所有的人都认为彼得的决定是正确的”不对;根据第四段中的“The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”可知C项说法“彼得认为小鸡对他的家人来说是有用的”正确;根据第四段中的“I don't know much about jewels”可知D项说法“在彼得做出决定之前,他知道珠宝不是真的”错误。

故选C。

3.B 推理判断题。

a.彼得得到了一份收入高的工作;b. 彼得机智地选择礼物;c. 彼得为他的行为可以得到一份礼物;d. 彼得可以帮助他的家人过上更好的生活。

通读全文可知:正确的顺序应该是:c b a d。

故选B。

4.D 推理判断题。

由第四段中的“The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”可知A项说法“彼得只考虑他自己”不对;根据最后一段可知:彼得痛快答应女王让他看管马这一职务,以及他的收入很高,说明B项说法“彼得不能看管好女王的马”不对;通读全文可知C项说法“在他们国家小鸡成为受欢迎的礼物”并未提到,故该说法是错误的;根据最后一段最后一句“all because he was kind to help others and smart enough to make the right choice”可知D项说法“彼得选择他自己所熟知的东西,实在是明智之举”正确。

故选D。
