九年级中考英语阅读理解专练第（一）篇Tea and coffee are two of the most popular drinks in the world. However, people usually like one more than the other. These drinks also have very different uses.Tea drinking started in China over 4,000 years ago. Tea is made from leaves. These days, some people drink tea for health, using it to help with stress(压力) or losing weight. However, most people in tea-drinking countries think of tea as more than just a healthy drink. In fact, tea drinking in some countries is a part of the culture. In Turkey(土耳其), tea is always there when people meet. Whether in someone’s home or a company, tea is always offered as a way of welcoming. In the UK, homes and offices usually have tea time. Tea and other dishes are served at tea time in the afternoon. It is a way of relaxing with friends .Coffee came much later than tea, just over 1,000 years ago. Coffee is made from beans. Something in the coffee beans makes a person feel active. Most people do not drink coffee to relax. Instead, they drink coffee to get going. Many people drink coffee in the morning to help them wake up. Others will also drink coffee during short breaks in the afternoon to keep going through the working day. Some people may visit coffee shops just to meet and talk with friends.

Take famous poet Li Bai for example. His family nam e, which came from his father’s name, was Li. His given name was Bai, and his courtesy name was Taibai.People used their given names when they were among family members. But in social life, they called each other by their courtesy names to show respect. This was mostly done among people of similar age. If you were talking about yourself, or if your elders were talking about you, the given name would be used instead of the courtesy name.Men would get their courtesy names when they turned 20. It was a symbol of adulthood (成年礼). Women would get their courtesy names after getting married.One’s courtesy name often had something to do with one’s given name. For example, the name of Mencius was Meng Ke. His courtesy name was Ziyu. Both Ke and Ziyu mean “carriage (马车)”. Zhuge Liang’s given name was Liang, which means “bright”. His courtesy name was Kongming, which means “very bright”.1. How many parts are there in people’s names in ancient China?A. three.B. four.C. five.D. six.2.

Even though snowflakes are related to winter, she let others feel warmth, hope and light through her performance. “I’m also disabled and I want to do something for them with my music,” said Ma.Ma went blind at the age of two because of an illness. She became interested in music when she was young. She started to learn to play the piano at five and the violin at nine, experiencing the “colorful” music through sound and emotion.Ma’s mother Ha Chunyan, a former music teacher in a primary school, helped her memorize the music score (乐谱) before she played the piano. Ma could not see the keys and always played the wrong notes. It took her thousands of tries to play a piece correctly.Learning the violin was more challenging. Ma needed to feel the teacher’s hands, arms and back to learn the movements, and listen to the strings (弦) over and over again to feel the muscles (肌肉) herself.“After three years of learning, she still could not make any sound except terrible noises,” said Ha, who advised her daughter to give up the violin. But Ma said, “As I’ve been practicing so long, it’s hard to give up. I believe I will play better if I persist in practicing.”In 2018, Ma got a chance to follow Sheng Yuan and Cao Yuhan, famous musicians from the CentralConservatory of Music, to study music in Beijing. She left her home in Ningxia to follow her musical dream, though she knew there would be more challenges ahead.Ma expressed her excitement about performing at the big event. “All my hard work has paid off.

What about the erhu? The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.The modern erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities (少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and itbecame quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying (伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modern music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians (历史学者) usually turn to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).1.

But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said.Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best.

Most of them cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, and usually far way from cities. However, the National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild areas where there are few human activities.The National Parks in England are called “England’s Breathing Spaces” because they are places where people can go to be in the open air, away from the dirt and noise of cities. They provide wonderful scenes of mountains, woods, grasslands and wetlands. And there are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or ride bikes for fun. Many of the parks put on activities for families.Every year there are about 110 million visitors to the parks, bringing many benefits(益处) to the areas. At the same time, it creates problems too. First, life can be difficult for local people. Car parks and roads are too crowded. Gift shops and cafes take the place of many everyday shops. Even house prices in some areas can become too high. Besides, country roads can be damaged, for too many people walk, cycle or ride horses on them. Roads can be rebuilt, but then they look less natural. Another big problem to the National Parks is litter. In the parks it is a danger to wild animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. Such fires in wild places can be out of control.How can people help? All National Parks in England are making more rules, which tell people how to take good care of their environment.

They are hard-working and professional in their work, and use sign language to communicate with each other from time to time.Bach’s Bakery lies in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is run by a German couple, Uwe Brutzer and his wife Dorothee Brutzer, who started it up ten years ago with the purpose of creating more jobs for those disabled in the neighborhood. So far, Bach’s Bakery has trained around 30 hearing disabled people. While some skilled workers found jobs in other bakeries and hotels and have been able to live on their own, several of them have stayed to work atthe bakery after they completed the training.The Brutzers’ work has won the support of many people in China. With the spread of news about the bakery, many Internet users learned about Bach’s Bakery and its inspiring story. As a result, many local people in Changsha as well as visitors from other parts of the country come to buy their products, Uwe said that public attention has encouraged them a lot and helped grow the bakery’s business, resulting in workers getting higher pay. However, what he values more is that, through media (媒体) reports, more people have come to understand that disabled people can work as well as other people when they are given chances.Now, as they are preparing to return to Germany, they have found a German couple teaching in China as the new managers, and handed over the bakery to a public welfare (福利) organization.

What’s the best title for the passage?A. A Silent BakeryB. A Special WishC. The Success of the DisabledD. The Rules of Bach’s Bakery第（九）篇Scientists are looking for ways that we can effectively use the light and heat from the sun. One idea that has caught their imagination is solar roads. They are expected to produce clean and renewable energy.With solar panels on the surfaces, solar roads cost more than traditional roads. However, besides the functions of traditional roods, they have the panels to receive sunlight and change it into the energy to supply power to homes, factories and street lighting. There are four layers in a solar panel:•Base layer: It is made of insulation material and forms a good grip with the road below this layer.•Middle layer: This is the most important layer. It holds all kinds of power lines connecting all the solar parts in the panel, like LED lights and the heating system.•Top layer: This layer is super-strong glass. It allows the panel to hold the weight of the heaviest vehicles.•Capping: This is the topmost layer used to offer extra protection to the solar parts in the panel. The layer must be rough enough to provide the traction for the safety of vehicles.With the smart design, solar roads can successfully charge the vehicles on them. And the roads have inbuilt LED lights to replace the traditional rood signs and lines, which are usually painted and harmful to humans. What’s more, the heating systems in the solar roads can take care of the snow and ice on the roads for drivers.Test solar roads have been built in several countries (France, China, USA, etc.) since 2014. The first word solar road project, Metrics of Watt Way in France, was set up by a French company called Construction Colas. It was an example of low effectiveness. In the first year, it had been expected to produce around 767 kWh of energy a day, but it only produced 409 kWh. Even so, the production could increase with design improvements. Of course, more time is needed before this technology is put into use.Solar roads may not be widely used in the near future, but they are indeed great for an environment-friendly and energy-saving world.1. Solar roads ________.A. offer power to homesB. get energy from factoriesC. keep the sunlight awayD. cost less than traditional roods2. Which of the following about the layers of a solar panel is TRUE according to the passage?A. The base layer is the most important layer.B. There are many power lines in the middle layer.C. The top layer lies on the top of the solar panel.D. The capping should be smooth enough for drivers.3. The first world solar road project ________.A. was set up in China in 2014B. showed high effectiveness as expectedC. was started by a US companyD. could get better with design improvements4. What is the best title for the passage?A. Solar Roads: A Widely Used InventionB. Solar Roads: A Safety Guard for DriversC. Solar Roads: A New Idea for Clean EnergyD. Solar Roads: A Way to Produce LED Lights5. Which part of newspaper may you read this passage?A. HistoryB. FashionC. SportD. Environment第（十）篇Steven Spielberg is the world’s most famous director.

This is a practical solution as it avoids the potential delays and the physical effort required for the other options.20、What can we learn about the woman from the conversation?A. She is going on a business trip.B. She is visiting a friend in another city.C. She is leaving for a holiday with her family.D. She is moving to a new job in a different country.Answer: A. She is going on a business trip.Explanation: From the context of the conversation, it is clear that the woman is preparing to leave for a business trip, which requires her to travel to the airport with all her necessary documents and luggage. The urgency and the nature of her travel, as mentioned by the man, indicate that this is likely a professional engagement rather than a personal one.二、阅读理解（30分）Reading ComprehensionPassage:In the small coastal town of Seaside Cove, the local library has always been a hub of community activity. The library, which was built in 1945, houses a vastcollection of books, magazines, and multimedia resources. However, in recent years, the library has faced a significant challenge: a steady decline in the number of young people visiting the facility.The decline in young visitors can be attributed to several factors. First, the rise of digital media has led many young people to prefer online entertainment over traditional reading. Second, the town’s youth are increasingly mobile, spending more time in the nearby city for shopping, dining, and social activities. Finally, the library’s outdated technology and lack of interactive programs have failed to attract the attention of the younger generation.In an effort to reverse this trend, the library’s board of directors has decided to take a bold step. They have hired a young librarian named Emily, who is passionate about technology and community engagement. Emily’s vision is to transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that caters to the needs of today’s youth.One of Emily’s first initiatives is to set up a “Tech Zone” where young people can access the latest gadgets and software for learning and entertainment. She also plans to introduce a series of interactive programs, such as coding workshops, gaming nights, and film discussions. Additionally, Emily wants to partner with local schools and businesses to create a more integrated approach to education and community life.The community has shown mixed reactions to Emily’s plans. Some residentsare excited about the potential for revitalizing the library and attracting young people back. Others worry that the changes might alienate older members of the community who have enjoyed the library in its traditional form.Questions:1.What are the three main reasons for the decline in young people visiting the library in Seaside Cove?A) The rise of digital media, increased mobility of the youth, and outdated technology.B) Lack of interactive programs, the library’s outdated appearance, and high fees.C) The popularity of sports activities, the closure of local businesses, and the lack of a swimming pool.D) The absence of a café, the lack of air conditioning, and the smell of old books.2.What is Emily’s role at the library and what is her main goal?A) To manage the book collection and encourage more donations.B) To transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that appeals to young people.C) To organize book clubs and reading challenges for all ages.D) To replace all the old books with new releases and popular fiction.3.How has the community responded to Emily’s plans for the library?A) They have unanimously supported the changes and are eager to see them implemented.B) There is a strong divide between the older and younger residents, with each group opposing the other’s views.C) The majority of residents are indifferent to the changes, but a small groupis excited about the potential benefits.D) The community has organized a protest against the changes, claiming they are unnecessary and disruptive.Answers:1.A) The rise of digital media, increased mobility of the youth, and outdated technology.2.B) To transform the library into a modern, dynamic space that appeals to young people.3.B) There is a strong divide between the older and younger residents, with each group opposing the other’s views.三、完型填空（15分）Section 3: Cloze TestRead the following passage and choose the best word or phrase to fill in each blank. There is one extra word than needed.In the 71 days of summer, the sun beats down on the 72 landscape, turning the fields a deep 73 and the rivers into shimmering mirrors.

The past perfect tense is used here to express the sequence of events.“Was invited” would imply a present state, “invited” is in the simple past tense, and “has invited” is in the present perfect tense, which is not appropriate for describing a past event.3、In the summer of 2022, we went on vacation and___________to a small village in the countryside.A. decidedB. was decidingC. had decidedD. have decidedAnswer: C. had decidedExplanation: The correct answer is “had decided” because the sentence indicates a past action (going on vacation) that was completed before another past action (deciding to go to the village). The past perfect tense is used to show this sequence of past actions.4、If I___________to the store earlier, I would have bought the milk before it went bad.A. would goB. wentC. had goneD. goAnswer: C. had goneExplanation: The correct answer is “had gone” because the sentencedescribes a conditional situation where the speaker is expressing a past action that would have had a result in the past (buying the milk before it went bad). The past perfect tense is used here to indicate the past condition.5.The cat is sleeping on the _5__ chair in the room.A. redB. redsC. red’sD. reds’Answer: A. redExplanation: The correct form is “red” because it is used as an adjective to describe the color of the chair. The possessive form, such as “red’s” or “reds’”, would not be appropriate in this context.6.She _6__ her homework before she went to bed last night.A. has finishedB. finishedC. have finishedD. finishingAnswer: B. finishedExplanation: The correct form is “finished” because the sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to describe an action that happened at a specific time in the past. The present perfect tense “has finished” and the incorrect forms “have finished” and “finishing” are not suitable for this context.7.In the__________(be) room, there are many books on different subjects.答案：7. being解析：根据句意，空格处描述的是房间的一个状态，因此需要使用现在分词形式作定语。

If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect （影响）the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.Some parents are worried too-for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. "Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I'm worried that pink will not help them with that," she says.But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. "People forget that things change all the time," he says. "My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change." Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. "This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change," he adds. "It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink-before that it was a color for boys."（1）Which of the following best shows the structure-of-the passage?A. B. C. D.（2）The underlined word "that" in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. being soft and gentleB. being strong and powerfulC. being gentle but powerfulD. being cute and beautiful（3）According to Grayson Turner, ________.A. parents needn't worry about pink toysB. all little kids love the color pinkC. pink has always been a color for girlsD. his girls now prefer the color blue（4）The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain why girls are crazy about the color pinkB. make parents less worried about the color pinkC. encourage girls to give up playing with pink toysD. show people's different opinions about the color pink【答案】（1）B（2）B（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章从女孩的玩具大多是粉红色的，男孩的玩具大多是蓝色的或者深色的，向人们介绍了不同的人们对粉红色的不同观点。

2．阅读理解Everybody hates rats. But rats may soon be man's new good friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal. This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. Rats can also see in the dark, they are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!The "rat project" is not finished. But a scientist says, "It would be great. A rat could get into any place we couldn't get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe." Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building （but only after an earthquake, of course）.（1）Where do you think you can find this passage?A. In a magazine about toys.B. In a history book.C. In a newspaper about science.D. In an advertisement.（2）Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Rats don't need electricity.B. Rats are better than robots when smelling.C. Rats are as clever as radios.D. Rats can see things in the dark when doing rescues.（3）Why does the "rat project" sound great according to the passage?A. Because rats can get into very small spaces.B. Because rats have better noses than dogs.C. Because rats don't like robots.D. Because rats are brave.（4）Which is the best title of this passage?A. Ways of saving peopleB. RatsC. EarthquakesD. Rats for rescue【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】主要讲了老鼠是怎样营救人的。
（1）推断题。
根据全文可知主要讲了老鼠救人，所以可以在关于科学的报纸上发现，故选C。
（2）细节题。
根据This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals.可知信号被发送给收音机，而没有说老鼠和收音机一样聪明，故选C。
（3）细节题。
根据"It would be great. A rat could get into any place we couldn't get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe."可知是因为老鼠可以去非常小的地方，故选A。
