专题07 阅读理解2022-2023学年九年级英语上学期期末高分冲刺专练一、阅读单选Do you ever find yourself standing in front of rubbish bins, not sure whether the piece of waste in your hand is recyclable or not? To solve this problem, four Hong Kong high school students have invented a smart rubbish bin that uses AI to sort(分类) the waste. The students named the bin Waste Collection Point.Connected to a computer, the bin uses a camera to tell the kind of the waste it receives and sorts it into plastic, paper, glass, or other kinds. To make sure the bin can sort waste correctly, the team tested every product in the school shop and took at least500 pictures of each one. “To train the AI, we had to take many photos from different angles(角度), so it has a better rate of accuracy,” said one of the students who built the AI system.The idea of the smart bin was born two years ago, when the students were in Grade Ten. At that time, people from the city crowded into their village because of the COVID-19. They left behind a lot of rubbish and caused more pollution.“All the bins were full, and there was even rubbish on the mountain,” the students recalled, “Every weekend, we had to join the villagers in picking up the waste.”The students decided to develop a special recycling bin that would encourage people to protect the environment. Although school ended at 2 pm, the team would continue to work on their invention until 6 or 7 pm at school. Even when their school was closed last year, they would still meet and work together online.“Our bin is now in its third generation(代). Before graduation, we hope it can be widely used in the city.” The students said, “Then it will be easier than ever for people to recycle and protect our environment.”1．According to the first paragraph we know the ________ of Waste Collection Point. A．price B．size C．use2．The underlined words “rate of accuracy” mean “________” in Chinese.A．精准度B．参与度C．知名度3．This chart shows why Waste Collection Point was developed. Which is the missing part?A．the hit of the COVID-19B．villagers’ encouragement C．picking up rubbish around 4．This passage is mainly about ________.A．four young inventors B．a new invention C．the rubbish problem 5．How is this passage organized(组织)? (P=Paragraph)A．B．C．根据语言材料内容选择最佳答案。

The year 2020 is the year of the __________.A. pigB. ratC. snakeD. monkeyBOne Bite at a TimeOne summer day when I was heading for the teaching building, I met Philip, one of my colleagues (同事), who worked in the same office with me. Beside him stood another young man. Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen. He told me that Stephen would take one of my classes Introduction to American History. Stephen asked if my class was going to be hard. I felt he was worried about failing before the opening day of classes. We talked about what the class would cover and I saw Stephen's eyes getting big with fear.Then I remembered a classical dialogue:Question: "How do you eat an elephant?"Answer: "One bite at a time. "I told him to deal with his work that way-to do all his assignment (作业) and to hand them in on time. I added that most successful students I knew made a timetable in order to plan their study well.As time went on, I learned more of Stephen's story. He had difficulty in study when he was in the middle school. Family members, including his mother, kept telling him that he was a failure. He told me that before coming to our college no one had believed he had much potential (潜力).Stephen didn't become an "A" student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignment on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course he began to build up bit of self-respect.Every time I saw him, he would brighten up and say, "One bite at a time. " He told his friends that he was succeeding when he was supposed to be failing. His secret, he said, was that he was practising what I taught him before classes ever started: "Take it one bite at a time. "24. What is the relationship between the writer and Stephen?A. Father and son.B. Teacher and student.C. Classmates.D. Colleagues.25. To plan their study well, most successful students _________.A. made a timetableB. chose many coursesC. asked teachers questionsD. took notes carefully26. Stephen's story mainly tells us that _________.A. it is hard to pass courses in collegeB. we all need good luck to make a successC. bad things can turn out to be good sometimesD. taking one bite at a time can help students succeedCBefore I studied psychology (心理学), I used to think that funny things make people laugh. While I was right about that, I discovered that there are lots of other psychological factors (因素) that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh－and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be. If your joke supports the opinions of a person, he will laugh more.I was attending a talk show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of the way pedestrians (行人) cross the streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed the streets carelessly. The joke wasn't only funny, it also made people feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you are jealous (嫉妒) of a friend, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then most probably you will laugh at it louder than if you weren't jealous of him.In short, we don't laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling (贬低) someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person's emotions in any possible way, he will certainly like it a lot. You can do this in a better way by supporting their opinions without making fun of anyone in a funny way to make them laugh.27. Before studying psychology, the writer thought ___________.A. only good jokes made people laughB. many factors led to people laughingC. funny things could make people laughD. laughing could make people healthy28. Why did people laugh loud at the pedestrians in Paragraph 2?A. Because they played a joke on the pedestrians.B. Because the pedestrians behaved in a funny way.C. Because they could feel the pedestrians' happiness.D. Because their emotions were supported by the show.29. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce a talk show the writer attended.B. To draw people's attention to psychology learning.C. To question about the psychological factors that make people laugh.D. To stress people can make others laugh by supporting their opinions.DIt sounds almost too good to be true, but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them.For the study, researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to students who were enjoying slow-wave sleep. During this period, a person has little knowledge of their environment. To make sure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that students may have had some connection with at some point in their waking lives, researchers made up the words which cannot be found in the foreign language at all.When the students woke up, they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations. The students were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word showed an object that was either smaller or larger. This vague (not very clear) way of testing their understanding of the words is a method that is supposed to make use of the unconscious (无意识的) memory.The researchers were surprised to find out that the students were able to correctly group the words in this way. And their accuracy rate (精确度) was 10 percent higher than accidental chance. That's not a rate high enough to help them get the ability of communicating with others in a foreign language, but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still taking in information on some level, even during sleep.It has been long believed that sleep is important for memory, but before this research its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation (保存) and organization of memories that students got during wakefulness. This is the first time that memory formation (形成) has been shown to be active during sleep. In other words, our brains are listening to the world, and learning about it, even when we are unconscious of what is happening around us.The next step for researchers will be to see whether new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep. If so, it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things. Sleep learning might become a widespread practice.30. The word "compromised" in Paragraph 2 probably means "___________".A. influencedB. dependedC. finishedD. studied31. What were the students asked to do in the study?A. Group the words they heard by size.B. Repeat the words they heard in the sleep.C. Imagine the meaning of the made-up words.D. Make up a word to describe "large" or "small".32. The researchers probably agree that ___________.A. sleep is necessary for a good memoryB. memory formation goes on during sleepC. listening during sleep is good for our healthD. learning languages in sleep has better effects33. What will be the researchers' next plan?A. To train people how to learn during sleep.B. To dig out the reason for unconscious learning.C. To explain the benefits of unconscious memory.D. To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning.【答案】(A)21. A 22. C 23. B(B)24. B 25. A 26. D(C)27. C 28. D 29. D(D)30. A 31. A 32. B 33.

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork.It can make you confident when you are studying.But unluckily，most students don't know how to take notes.If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard，that's great.You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class.Different teachers do things differently.For example，some teachers may focus on(关注) lots of dates and facts in class，but they only write the important ones on the blackboard.Other teachers may not write anything down，but they may repeat them.Don't try to write down every word in class，or you might miss some important points.Some students really learn better with the help of these notes. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you've missed.If your teacher speaks too fast and you can't follow what he is saying，you can ask him after class.Comparing your notes with your classmates' can be good for your learning.It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.Note-taking also needs organization.Keep notes for each subject in one place，so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening，you'll surely have less time to watch TV. But you'll save time in the coming test.1、2题完成句子；3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下全文的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。
九年级初三英语课外阅读理解期末专项练习10篇【附答案】
九年级初三英语课外阅读理解期末专项练习10篇【附答案】1The worst tourist in the world is Nicholas Scottie of San-Francisco. Once he flew from the U.S. to his hometown in Italy to see someone at home. The plane made one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home. Mr. Scottie got off the plane. He thought he was in Rome. When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Scottie thought maybe they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for their address, Mr. Scottie found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English. Mr. Scottie knew very little English, so he asked a policeman the way to the bus station. He happened to meet a policeman who was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language. After twelve hour’s traveling round on a bus, the driver handed him over to a second policeman. He asked the policeman why the Rome police employed so many people as policemen speaking English instead of Italian. Mr. Scottie did not believe he was in New York when he was told so. To get him on a plane back to San Francisco, he was sent to the airport in a police car with sirens (警报) on. “Look,” said Scottie to his interpreter (翻译), “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how they drive.”1. When Mr. Scottie arrived at the airport, nobody met him because _______.A. he was in New YorkB. he was not in RomeC. policeman could help himD. both A and B2.

Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the world has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “It’s cool.” You may think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your favourite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one sentence, “It’s so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”? I can. AndI think they are also very cool.6. We know that the word “cool” has had ________.A. only one meaningB. no meaningsC. many different meaningsD. the same meaning7.

Worlds like these are planets. But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we haven’t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don’t have any light of their own. So we can’t see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard’s Star is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard’s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.16. A star is a large body in the universe.

The planet is a red one.Key: 16-20 BCBBA5We were going to play against a team from a country school.They didn’t come until the last minute. They looked worse than we had thought. They were wearing dirty blue trousers and looked like farm boys.We sat down for a rest. We felt that we didn’t need any practice against a team like that.The game began. One of us got the ball and he shot a long pass to our forward （前锋）. From out of nowhere aboy in an old T-shirt stopped the ball and with beautiful style （姿势）he shot and got two points. Then another two points in a minute. Soon the game was all over. We were beaten by the country team.After that, we thought a lot.

人教版九年级英语期末总复习试卷及答案之阅读理解
九年级学期期末英语试卷分类汇编阅读理解A It’s not WASTE until it is WASTED!With the World Environment Day coming, our school is now requiring every student to form a habit of sorting(分类）the waste. Here in our schoolyard we lay different colors of rubbish bins for different kinds of rubbish. The red is for harmful waste; the blue is for waste that can be recycled; the green is for kitchen waste; the yellow is for other waste.The followings are some instructions for you.Glass: Empty bottles without caps can be recycled to make new glass bottles.Warning: Mirrors and light bulbs(电灯泡) must not be included in the glass waste.Paper: Newspapers, magazines, boxes must be clean enough to be recycled.Warning: Paper tissues(餐纸) and wall paper are not recyclable as paper should be kept separately.PMD waste: Packaging made of Plastic or Metal and Drink boxes are used to make new packaging.Warning: Plastic pots (e.g. yoghurt pots), plastic bags must not be included with the PMD waste.Harmful waste: out-of-date drugs, used bat teries, paint and oil…Besides, if you don’t need your old bikes at all, our school volunteers will collect them. We’re going to fix them up and then give them away to kids who don’t have enough money for a bike.To find out more about recycling, you can visit our school website.( )51. According to the passage, _______ different colors of rubbish bins are laid in the schoolyard.A. 4B. 5C. 6D. 7( )52. The fish bones should be thrown in the ___________ bin.A. redB. greenC. blueD. yellow( )53. From the passage, we can see that _________ are harmful to the environment.A. paper tissuesB. empty bottlesC. drink boxesD. out-of-date drugs( )54. If you give your old bike to the volunteers, it will be ________________.A. sold to collect money for the poor kidsB. fixed up and given back to you for freeC. fixed up and given away to the poor kidsD. given away immediately to the poor kids( )55. The main purpose of this passage is ________________.A. to look for volunteers for waste sortingB. to introduce waste sorting to the studentsC. to introduce the World Environment DayD. to advertise glass, paper and plastic productsBThere are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver’s seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world’s population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left of the road. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other’s right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal’s left. Obviously, it’s safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense (行得通)for the horse to be ridden on the left.A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon(拿破仑)conquered(攻占) nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies(前英国殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception(例外，除外)is Egypt, as that country was defeated(打败) by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.Some countries changed sides until modern times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7, 2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right-hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.A.1967B.1974C.1968D. the late 1700s.( )58. In modern time s, countries follow the same driving way except __________.A. AustraliaB. Egypt.C. SwedenD. China( )59.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Sweden changed to drive on the right in 1974.B. People drive on the left side of the road in Egypt.C. People have known the exact reasons for driving on the left.D. Napoleon helped with the spread of left-hand driving.( )60. What is the writer’s purpose for writing this passage?A. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.B. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.C. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.D. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.CWith more and more cars on the road, traffic jams (堵车) are inevitable. Traffic jams can lead to more accidents as there are more cars, with more people trying to get to their destination, all the while getting worse. Although it’s impossible to avoid traffic jams altogether, there are some tips you can follow to reduce the amount of time on the road.Check for traffic jams before you leave. You can listen to the radio for traffic news, or check on the Internet to get up-to-minute information on traffic. If the route you want to take isheavy with traffic, you can choose another.Look for a different route all the time. Most traffic jams happen on busy roads. Using country roads could avoid a lot of traffic. Although the distance you may have to travel is further, it can work out quicker.Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins. Many new car stereo systems (汽车音响系统) are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel. This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.__________. Most traffic jams usually happen during rush hour, so try to avoid this time period if possible. Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour. Some jobs even allow you to work at home so as to avoid moving altogether. Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.Use public transport instead. The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car. Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money.( ) 61. The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.A. impossible to avoidB. hard to acceptC. getting less seriousD. seen everywhere( ) 62. The writer wrote the text in order to ______.A. explain why there are traffic jamsB. tell us what we can do on the roadC. tell us how to save time on the roadD. tell us the negative (消极的) effects of traffic jams( ) 63. To get the latest traffic information, you could do the following EXCEPT ______.A. surfing the InternetB. turning to other drivers for informationC. listening to the traffic channelD. listening to the radio for traffic news ( ) 64. Which of the following can be put in the blank(空白处) in the text?A. Choose a job that has flexible working hoursB. Make friends with your managerC. Work from homeD.

It was Mother’s Day morning. I was doin g my shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on theground. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed(尴尬的) and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very sad about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity group had set up a stand selling fish and chips and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,”he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So w e went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture(举止).”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured(受伤的) woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment(器具). He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “My son was very s ad for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.( )56. What does the writer want to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B.

Tom Sawyer is a smart but naughty(调皮的) young boy living in the small town on theMississippi River. He is an orphan（孤儿）and lives with his aunt. He has manyclever ideas, but doesn’t like school, and always likes to escape the school to fish.Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of（赞同）. Tom Sawyer and Finn have great adventures on the Mississippi River, pretending to be pirates （强盗）, attending their own funeral(葬礼), and witnessing a murder. Tom overcomes fear and appears in court(法庭) and speaks out the murderer. He and his friends finally discover a lot of treasures and they become millionaires...My favorite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time, and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is surprised to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.Mark Twain’s writing was based on his own childhood and his personal experience. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious（巧妙的）ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication（混杂）of what Twain did or wishes he did during his childhood.Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds ve ry real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on--- read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.( )61. Which of the following doesn’t fit in with Tom?A. He is a good student.B. He has a trusted friend.C. He often escapes the school.D. Both of his parents died when he was young.( )62. How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral?A. They were frightened and happy.B. They were surprised and sad.C. They were worried and excited.D. They were surprised and pleased.( )63. What is the whole book mainly about?A. Freedom and social rules.B. The growth of young children.C. Children’s bad behaviour.D. Strangers in American small towns.( )64. What’s the purpose of the writer to write the article?A. To ask us to read the book.B. To tell us how popular the book is today.C. To tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story.D. To tell us why the story sounds very real.( )65. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There is 19th century dialect (方言) in the book.B. Tom Sawyer prefers fishing to going to school.C. The story is about Mark Twain’s personal experience.D. The whole story represents Twain’s wishes du ring his childhood.51-55 AACAB 56-60 DBCDA 61-65 ADBACIgood fortune, in Zhenjiang, East China’s Jiangsu province, Jan 14, 2018.communitiescountriesByfrom the shares of the tea gardens and factories that they owned, thanksto the targetedpoverty alleviation(Memory5D+,showingshown for the first timein Beijing on Thursday.in Changchun, Jilin province, on Jan 5, 2019.

It simply means “you go your way, I’ll go mine”.Yangguan Road was an open road that crossed the Yangguan Pass( 阳关) in ancient China. It was located in Dunhuang, Gansu in Northwest China. The Yangguan and Yumenguan passes were important to the Western Regions( 西域), or the then-Central Asian countries that existed during Han Dynasty.In Chinese, yang means “sunny”, but it can also mean “south” (the sunny side of a hill being the southern side). Yangguan was therefore named because it lies to the south of the Yumenguan Pass.Because it was the last stop for Chinese travelers leaving China to the W estern Regions，Y angguan is usually connected with the parting( 分离) of ways in Chinese literature. In one of his most famous poems, Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei wrote, “West of the sunny pass no more friends will be seen”.Yangguan Pass was also an important landmark on the ancient Silk Road. People from all over the world would do business along the Yangguan Road. The road used to be very broad and busy. It is said that it could have been as wide as 100 meters in some parts. Therefore, Yangguan Road has been gradually understood to represent an open road.56.Where was Yangguan Pass located?A. In North ChinaB. In South ChinaC. In Southeast ChinaD. In Northwest China57. What did Yangguan Road refer to in ancient China?A. An open road that crossed Yangguan Pass.B. A road that was between the Yangguan and Yumenguan passes.C. Any road that was broad and busy.D. Any road that was built on the sunny side of a hill.58. Why was Yangguan Pass named like this?A. Because the pass received a lot of sunshine every year.B. Because it was in the southern part of Gansu province.C. Because it was on the sunny side of Yumenguan Pass.D. Because the name could cheer travelers.59. Yangguan was connected with parting because_________________.A. people would often part there and go in different directionsB. Poet Wang Wei wrote a poem there about partingC. it separated into two different pathsD. people came and went through it to do business.60. What do we know from the story?A. Yangguan Pass was built during the Qing Dynasty.B. Yumenguan Pass was one’s last stop before leaving China.C. Wang Wei wrote many famous poems about Yangguan.D. Yangguan Pass was an important landmark on the ancient Silk Road.IIIGerman chancellor (总理)Angela Merkel may look like an ordinary woman.She dresses plainly and doesn’t show much emotion. But don’t let appearances foolyou.As the first woman Chancellor in Germany’s history, Merkel has topped Forbes magazine’s list of “The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women” six times. Shehas even been compared to Margaret Thatcher and many people call her “Iron Lady”.Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on July 17, 1954. As a small child, she quicklylearned to speak but took longer to walk. “I was a stupid person when it came to moving,” Merkel said.“A normal person could do something naturally, but I had to think about it in my mind and practice.” As a teenager, she was the top student in high school. In 1973, Merkel went to the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics. At 32, she got her doctor’s degree in physics.She worked for the government in 1989. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background and strong will proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany’s Chancellor. Through her political career, Merkel’s persistence (坚持) and patience helped a lot. “She is bright and open-minded,” said Hubert Markel, a German biologist. “She is the person who wants to know exactly what is going on, and how never giving up will influence our society and future.”61.

We'll all be rich after thisjourney!”How stupid I was! I had an easy, comfortable life in Brazil, but, ofcourse, I agreed. And so in 1659, I went to sea again.At first, all went well, but then there was a terrible storm. For twelve days the wind and the rain didn't stop. We lost three men in the sea, and soon the ship had holes in its sides. “We’re all going to die this time,” I said to myself. Then one morning one of the sailors saw land. but the next minute our ship hit some sand just under the sea. The ship could not move and we were really in danger now. The sea was trying to break the ship into pieces, and we had very little time. Quickly, we put a boat into the sea and got off the ship. But the sea was very rough and our little boat could not live for long in that wild water.Half an hour later the angry sea turned our boat over and we were all in the water. I looked round for my friends, but I could see nobody. I was alone.That day I was lucky, and the sea carried me to the shore. I could not see the land, only mountains of water all around me. Then, suddenly, I felt the ground under my feet. Another mountain of water came, pushed me up the beach, and I fell on the wet sand.At first I was very thankful to be alive. Slowly, I got to my feet and went higher up the shore. From there, I looked out to sea. I could see our ship, but it was wrecked and there was nobody near it.There was nobody in the water. All my friends were dead. I was alive , but in a strange wild country, with no food, no water, and no gun.It was dark now and I was tired. I was afraid to sleep on the shore. Perhaps there were wild animals there. So I went up into a tree and I stayed there all night.51. Where was Robinson’s ship going?A. From Africa to Brazil.B. From Africa to England.C.

A saying goes, “Dogs are man’s best friend.” It means thatdogs are loyal, and will stay with their owners through thick and thin.The Year of the Dog will begin on Feb 16, 2018. Although dogsare seen as part of the family today, China and Western countries have different cultural beliefs about dogs.In Chinese, some words about dogs have derogatory meaning, such as “No ivory (象牙) can come out of a dog’s mouth.” But in English, the situation is different. People use “every dog has his day” to describe a period of good luck and “work like a dog” to describe a hard worker.The dog-human relationship goes right back to the beginnings of Western civilization. Perhaps the most moving example is from the 8th cent ury B.C, in Greek poet Homer’s The Odyssey.When Greek hero Odysseus finally returns home after 20 years away at war, only one person – sorry, animal – recognizes him: his dog, Argos. Argos is an old, ill dog, and is about to die; but he is excited to see his master again after so many years.Nowadays in the West, millions of people keep dogs as pets. People feed them, take them on holidays and look after them. In return, dogs are loyal in a way that friends sometimes aren’t. As the US musician Don Van Vl iet once said, “You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.”56. What personality do dogs have according to the passage?A. Loyal.B. Friendly.C. Hardworking.D. Smart.57. What does the underlined word “derogatory” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. goodB. badC. commonD. funny58. When did people begin to have relationship with dogs?A. About eight hundred years ago.B. Less than three thousand years ago.C. In the beginning of Eastern civilization.D. In the middle of Western civilization.59. What’s the author’s purpose of giving the example of Argos’ story?A. To explain the dog’s love to his master.B. To show the respect to Greek hero Odysseus.C. To tell the relationship between dogs and people.D. To show the good point of the poet The Odyssey.60. What’s the best title of the passage?A. The history of raising dogs.B. The reasons of keeping dogs.C. The celebrations of the Year of the Dog.D. The different cultural beliefs about dogs.(C)It seems that people are losing their smartness as smart phones become moreand more important in their lives. As we depend too much on technology instead ofour brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts, there’s now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help, only to find your phone is not around.And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want. People get so dependent on them that when they can’t use their smartphones, they get lost.But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially useless. People often lose themselves in their smartphones. So some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.Some researchers studied 51 students ag ed 11 and 12 who had over five hours’ screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared. The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your。

九年级上学期英语期末复习——阅读理解专练(含答案)
九年级上学期英语期末复习——阅读理解专练一、阅读理解AI went to my first music festival-We Love Green. It was held over a weekend in a park in Paris. Like most music festivals, it had wonderful singers and music. However, there was something special about this one. You see, this was a green festival!From the food to the stalls (摊位), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible. The festival was powered by solar energy (由太阳能供电). There were specially labeled bins (贴有标签的垃圾桶) so that the waste could be used again after the festival. Free fresh water was provided for everyone so that guests didn’t need to buy drinks in plastic (塑料的) bottes. There were many stalls for everyone, from little children to the old.This seems like such a great idea, to make something very fun and not cause great pollution to the environment. I have discovered that there are more events similar to this across the world! I really hope that there will be more events like We Love Green. These environmentally friendly practices tell people being green doesn’t mean being boring. It can be quite fun. As a result, more people may be encouraged to consider the role they play in the environmental protection.( )1．What did the writer do recently in Paris?A．He ran a food stall.B．He traveled across the city.C．He hold an activity.D．He went to a music festival.( )2．Why did We Love Green provide fresh water for free?A．To help people save money.B．To encourage healthy eating.C．To help reduce plastic waste.D．To show the importance of water.( )3．During the festival, the writer _______.A．enjoyed healthy food and drinks B．encouraged people to save waterC．found some funny music D．told people to protect our environment( )4．What does the writer think of We Love Green?A．Noisy and boring.B．Interesting but noisy.C．Environmentally friendly but noisy.D．Interesting and environmentally friendly.( )5．What’s the best title of the passage?A．A Special Park in Paris B．A Great Green ExperienceC．Advice on how to Be Green D．Environmental Protection PracticesBCuriosity (好奇心) is part of human nature. Children are famous for wanting answers to thousands of questions. Books and TV shows often depend on curiosity. People keep reading or watching because they want to find out what happens. But curiosity also provides many advantages.Learning is the easiest if you have a desire for knowledge. Curiosity can create that desire when you have a question you want an answer to. Many of history’s greatest discoveries were made by curious people. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology to help them.Even if you don’t plan to be an inventor or researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the joy of learning, classes will become more fun. And you’ll be better because you will fully take part in the process of learning. Even if you’re no longer a student, curiosity will make you get more information and then a better worker.What do you do if you’re not already curious? Luckily, curiosity is a skill that can be improved. If you act like you’re curious, you’ll quickly start to actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic, the more interesting it becomes.As you learn about a topic, collect as much information as possible. Read different kinds of books, listen to talks and ask questions. Don’t always get your information from the same source. Instead, learn to appreciate (欣赏) facts that different people know and the different opinions that they express. Ask a lot of questions. Remember, everyone knows something that you don’t. Find out what that is and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy by letting them show off their knowledge.In the classroom or out of it, developing curiosity is sure to be valuable.( )6．What does the writer mainly want us to do after reading the passage?A．To make others happy.B．To show off our knowledge.C．To develop our curiosity.D．To become an inventor or a researcher.( )7．According to the passage, curiosity ________.A．is the only part of human nature B．depends on books and TV showsC．can’t create the desire for answers D．may lead to many great discoveries( )8．What would happen without curiosity?A．Students may become less interested in classes.B．People will know more about the world. C．People can still become better workers.D．Students can’t improve it again.( )9．What does the underlined word “desire” in the passage mean?A．wish B．chance C．choice D．pity( )10．What is the best title of the passage?A．A New Discovery B．A Natural AbilityC．A Great Invention D．A Famous CreationCThe size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size.Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical.Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes (the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached (连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure (高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical.( )11．What might in the old times people ask for help from a person with?A．Red ears.B．Big ears.C．Small ears.D．Pale ears.( )12．What is the passage mainly about?A．The size of our ears.B．Musical ears.C．Ears which related to characters.D．Our faces and ears.( )13．What do we know change shape as we get older from the passage?A．Ears.B．Hair.C．Eyes.D．Teeth.( )14．What can we guess Beethoven may have?A．Pale ears.B．White ears.C．Small ears.D．Ears with a big inside hole.( )15．What may you find the ears of your teacher if you are often late for school?A．Get bigger.B．Get smaller.C．Get colder.D．Get redder.DTea bag drinking is most Westerner’s favorite way of drinking tea. Do you know how it came about?The tea bag was invented in 1980 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. The tea tasted good, and people thought it was easy to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose(散的) tea again.Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze(薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided tea bag. Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK, and today 85% of the tea in the UK is packed in paper bags.However, many people still prefer loose-leaf tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags. But for most drinkers, tea bags are still the easy, tasty way to go.( )16．Who invented tea bag? _________.A．An English tea seller B．The ChineseC．Lipton D．Thomas Sullivan( )17．The tea in silk bags was welcome because ________.A．the tea in bags was free and very goodB．the tea tasted good and the cups was easy to washC．people were happy with the loose teaD．people didn’t know any better way to enjoy the tea( )18．The underlined part “Tea bags were soon a hit in the UK” means “_________ in the UK”.A．Tea bags soon became popularB．Tea bags surprised everyone very muchC．Tea bags kicked(踢) the loose-leaf out of the marketD．Tea bags weren’t allowed to be sold( )19．The material of the tea bag is usually ________ now.A．silk B．gauze C．paper D．plastic( )20．What can be the best title for this passage?A．The invention of tea B．The way of drinking teaC．The history of tea bags D．People’s favorite tea in the worldEIt was really a big day for Mrs. Smith. Her husband, an ordinary office worker gave her ten pounds for her birthday—ten pretty pound notes. She could at last buy the beautiful thing she had always wanted. So the day after her birthday Mrs. Smith went shopping. She got on a bus and sat down next to an old lady. After a while she noticed that the old lady’s bag was open. Inside it, she found a wad of pound notes like the one her husband had given her the day before. She quickly looked into her own bag—the notes were gone. Mrs. Smith was sure that the old lady sitting next to her must have stolen them. She thought she would not have to call the police as she didn’t like getting people into trouble. So she decided to take back the money from the lady’s bag and say nothing about it. She looked around the bus to make sure nobody was watching, then she carefully put her hand into the old lady’s handbag, took out the notes and put them into the bag of her own.When she returned home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought. “How did you pay for it?” he asked in surprise. “With the money you gave me for my birthday of course.” “Oh,what’s that then?” he asked, as he pointed to a wad of pound notes on the table.( )21．When did Mrs. Smith go shopping?A．After she bought the hat.B．Before her birthday.C．The day after her birthday.D．During her birthday.( )22．On the bus Mrs. Smith found___________.A．she had left her money homeB．the old lady stealing her moneyC．her money missingD．the old lady wearing a beautiful hat( )23．How did she get the money from the old lady?A．She asked the police for help.B．She made the old lady give back the money.C．She got it out of her pocket.D．She took it in a secret way.( )24．How did her husband feel when she showed him the hat she had bought?

It was on the basis(基础)of Anhui Opera by taking in the advantages of other operas.Beijing Opera is quite unique(唯一的)in role shaping because it divides the roles into different kinds. They are sheng, dan, jing and chou which are quite different in many ways.A popular song goes like this, “Foreigners call Jingxi Beijing Opera.” In fact, Beijing Opera is different from opera. Opera tells the story and expresses the thoughts by singing instead of speaking. But Beijjing Opera stresses(强调)chang, nian, zuo and da. Chang means singing; nian means musical spoken parts; zuo means dance movements and da means martial(武打)skills.Mei Lanfang is an excellent performing artist of Beijing Opera in China.

For example, when you travel in a taxi, the car gives off (排放) CO2 into the air. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases make the earth become warm. To protect our environment, we need to leave less of a “carbon footprint”. How big is your carbonfootprint? To get an idea, take a look at the following numbers.Living areas★ TV sets and DVD players produce 723 kg of CO2 a year.★ If you turn them off when you’re not using them, you can cut that number by 108 kg.Laundry roomDrying clothes in a dryer produces a lot of CO2.★ If you use your dryer five times per week, you produce 185 kg of CO2 per year.★ Dry your clothes in the sun instead.Bathroom★ If you take an eight-minute shower every day, you produce 616 kg of CO2 a year.★ If you only use six minutes to take a shower, you can cut that number by 154 kg a year.根据短文，判断正（T）误（F）。

How do you deal with your computers, MP4 players and mobile phones when they’re broken or you want a new one?Most people just throw them away. With the development of electric industry, e-waste pollution has become a serious problem.

China came second, with 6 million tons.It’s important to pay attention to e-waste. It can either be valuable or harmful（有害的）, depending on how we deal with it. E-waste is a valuable urban mine（城市矿藏）. The value of the metals, like gold and silver in the waste around the world, is amazing. And the metals can be reused. But if people throw them away, the toxic chemicals（有毒化学物质）can get into the earth or air, effecting the environment and people’s health.Apple company now rec ycle people’s used products in China when they are buying new ones.

A good relationship between students and teachers makes the classroom a very inviting( 吸引人的) place. When you like your teachers, it’s easier to pay attention to explanations and improve your marks. When you take your teachers as friends, you’ll certainly have more respect for them. When your teachers consider you to be a friend, they will feel more open in class and that will probably influence the class in a positive( 积极的) way. So it is necessary to develop a friendly relationship with your teachers with the following steps.Ask questions. If you have any questions about that subject, ask them. Show them that you are interested in their subjects. That will make them notice you. But never ask questions that you already know the answers. If your teachers realize that you are not asking real questions, they might think that you are not actually trying to learn, but only trying to make an impression(印象).Talk about non-school subjects. When you see one of your teachers in the hall, greet him\her and ask if he\she is going to that concert or if he\she has seen that movie. This way it will show that you consider him\her as a friend. Some teachers don’t like to have friendly relationships with students, but most of them are happy to chat with their students. After a while, they may start to talk with you about non-school subjects in the classroom.The rest is totally up to you, it is easy to develop a friendly relationship with any of your teachers, just treat them as f riends, but don’t forget that no matter how good friends you are, they will still be your teachers and you should respect them.1-2题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4 题找出并写下全文的主题句；5题将文中划线句子译成汉语.1.

"We will rest here tonight，my men,"he said. "Tomorrow wewill fight one more battle. We must win or we will die."They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.

However, when my mom told me that I had to live with my grandfather for six weeks, I complained. A voice inside me said that it would be miserable to live with my grandpa, which meant no afternoon baseball games with my neighborhood friends.The first week with Grandpa was fine.

Call For Details.” I noticed that Grandpa had a faraway look in his eyes. “I haven’t been here for decades,” he whispered. “Probably twenty or thirty years.” We walked there and he pointed down the street and said, “That’s the field where I used to play baseball every summer.” Then I realized where we were: This was the house where Grandpa grew up! We looked inside a window and saw a big mess. No one had lived here for a long time.On the ride home, Grandpa was very quiet.

I was not very good at sports, and I hated team sports because I always felt like I was disappointing the rest of the team. During these years, I sometimes felt disconnected from my body like only my brain was "me" and my body was just a vehicle （运载工具）for carrying my brain around.When I started university, I decided to try a kung fu club. To my surprise, I lovedit! In my first year, most of us were beginners. I used to go two or three times aweek.Because it is not a team sport, I didn't feel sorry about not being very good. And because it is a combat （格斗）sport, you train in pairs, which means that you get to meet people and talk to them.I also appreciated （欣赏）that the focus of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, rather than exercising to change my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body changed—I got stronger and quicker—but the changes were a side effect of the sport, instead of the goal.When I moved to Italy this year, I decided to start doing a combat sport again. I joined a local martial arts （武术）club and I loved it. We did lots of sparring （拳击）.I think that sparring is like chess, but much faster and much more fun! If your sparring partner tries to hit you hard with his fist, you have to move quickly to avoid him, block or even catch his arm and then throw him to the mat.When I was a teenager, I would say I just wasn't a sporty person and that I just didn't like sport and never would. Now I think that everyone should try as many sports as possible because I believe there is something out there for everyone! I feel connected to my body and I am happier and have more energy when I have been doing sport.24.Why did the writer hate PE lessons when he was a teenager?A.Because he was not very good at sports.B.Because his teammates were not friendly.C.Because he couldn't understand his PE teacher.D.Because there was something wrong with his body.25.What club did the writer go to when he was at university?A.

The young child was eating when something got stuck in her throat （喉咙）. Hannah’s babysitter, Megan Howard, was in the bathroom at the time. She suddenly heard the bird screaming （尖叫） and making noises with its wings. “Then he started saying ‘mama baby’ over and over and over again until I came氧w out." Megan said. Megan saw that Hannah7s face was blue. Megan was quickly able to remove the food from Hannah’s throat, but she says that W illie is the real hero. Willie was the one who later received an award for saving Hannah’s life.When he was eight weeks old, Buddy, a little dog, came to live with Joe Stalnaker. Stalnaker sometimes experiences seizures （癫痫） that make him unable to move easily. Stalnaker taught his new dog to bring him the phone when he started to experience a seizure. Stalnaker also trainedBuddy to hit the phone to call 911. So when Stalnaker had a really bad seizure one day, Buddy was the one who called for help and began making sounds into the phone. Doctors arrived within minutes and found Stalnaker. They took him to the hospital where he recovered. Stalnaker later said this about Buddy: “He’s my world. He’s my best friend, no question. He’s always there, and I just hope I can be as good to him as he’s been to me.”One night, there was a gas leak （煤气泄漏） at Keeslin g’s home. The family was sleeping.
