九年级英语阅读20篇
九年级英语阅读20篇1I was an unlucky nurse who had to work on Christmas Day. It was always quite in the emergency room on this day, so I was not expecting any patients. When I was complaining about working on such a beautiful festival ,five people showed up at my desk —a pale woman and four small children.“Are you all sick?” I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.“Yes, ”the woman answered weakly and lowered her head. But when they started to present their problems, things got a little vague(模糊的). The children had earaches, but they could not tell me which ear was in pain. The mother complained of a cough, but she seemed to be pretending.Something was wrong. I didn’t say anything but explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them.” Take your time, please,” the mother responded. On a hunch(出于直觉)I checked their charts(记录)—no address. Suddenly I knew, they were homeless and the hospital was warm.I look out at the family, huddling(蜷缩) together under the Christmas tree, smiling and chatting with each other sweetly. Quietly,I went back to the nurses’ station and told them that we had a homeless family in the waiting room. It was just like the God sending us a gift on Christmas Day. We took out our meals for our Christmas “patients”. We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We worked hard to exceed the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas Day. Later, when the family was leaving, the 4-year-old girl ran back and gives me a kiss. “Thanks for__________________________today,”she whispered in my ear.1. The author was unhappy to work on Christmas Day, wasn’t she? ___________________________________________________________2. How did the author know that the families were homeless? ___________________________________________________________3. Why did the family pretend to be sick?___________________________________________________________ 4. What did the nurse on duty for the family?___________________________________________________________5.

Give your reason.___________________________________________________________________2A 108-year-old Message in a BottleOn November 30, 1906, George Bidder dropped a bottle from a boat into the North Sea. The weighted glass bottle sank almost to the sea floor, and then it move slowly for 108 years and 138 days.Its journey ended when Marianne Winkler found the bottle in 2015. Winkler was then on vacation on Amrum Island. She picked up the bottle when it was washed up onto the beach. She saw a piece of paper inside, but didn’t break it open. She could tell that the bottle was old. So she didn’t want to damage it.Finally she got the piece of paper out of the bottle. She found that the paper was actually a postcard. On the back of the cardthere was this message: The Marine Biological Association(海洋生物学协会) would pay a shilling(先令) for the bottle. A shilling was a unit of money that was used in Great Britain before the early 1970s.Winkler filled out the card and posted it. The association was surprised to get a postcard addressed to George Bidder, the president of the association from 1939 to 1945. The workers of the association searched on the Internet to find a shilling. They found one and sent it to Winkler as a reward.The message in the bottle was the oldest ever re-discovered. For this reason Marianne Winkler got a place in “Guinness World Records”(吉尼斯世界纪录). She broke the record for the oldest message in a bottle.Winkler’s bottle was not the only one Bidder sent to sea. Between 1904 and 1906, he spent away more than one thousand bottles. He placed postcards inside them. The bottles were part of a research project to map currents(洋流) in the North Sea. This was the best method at that time. But whether the association could get the bottles back depended on the people who found them. The association reported that about 55 percent of the bottles were returned. They added that the experimentwas a success as it showed the east-to-west flow of the North Sea’s currents.1. How long did the weighted glass bottle move in the sea? ___________________________________________________________ __2. When and where did Marianne Winkler find the bottle in 2015? ___________________________________________________________ __3.

She ate her favorite breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast and juice. Her mother gave her a kiss before opening the front door and wishing her daughter a good day.Elizabeth, carefully tapping along, made her way down the sidewalk to her best friend Kate's front door. Elizabeth used to attend a school for the blind. Today she was joining Kate at Washington Carver Elementary. "Here comes my brother." Elizabeth said, Kate looked around but saw no one. Then, suddenly, John came around the next corner on his skateboard. "How did you know John was coming?" Kate asked."From the sound of the wheels on his board," replied Elizabeth. "I'd know it anywhere." Kate listened again until she heard the joyful sound hidden among all the much louder noises on the street.John road along the sidewalk, moving from one side to the other and back again, until he came to a stop in front of Elizabeth and Kate. "Hey, Sis" he said. "Good luck today!" "Thanks John," said Elizabeth. "Any words of wisdom for me?" "Yeah," her brother replied, smiling. "Stay away from the Sloppy Joes in the cafeteria." After these words, John went away on his board.Kate wondered if Elizabeth still remembered eating the sloppy joes before she lost her sight at the age of six, because of a high fever. Kate wondered if she felt sad. She decided to ask. "I used to think I couldn't do anything," explained Elizabeth. "But now I know that I can do most things. I just need a little more learning time." Kate could see the sunny smile on her friend's face.Giving her friend a big hug, Kate said to herself,"____________________________________".88.

But when some of the students find he will participate, they laugh at him in a mean way.“You are not funny,” the students tell him. “You will do a terrible job. No one will like what you do.”Brian cannot understand why they are being so unkind to him. For a moment, he thinks he will not participate. But then, he remembers how much his friends and teachers like his jokes. He decides to go ahead and prepare his comedy for the show. Brian does a great job at the talent show. Everyone loves him, and he wins first prize! Even so, the same students tell Brian that he will never be a successful comedian. Brian just shake his head and wonders what their problem is. And he realizes that it has nothing to do with him. He happily continues to work towards his goal.As the years go on, Brian meet more people like that. Luckily, they are the minority.

However, Jessica ' s father has said he never shed a tear about her birth condition. He had full confidence in her potential.With the support of her parents and family, Jessica became confident in herself as an adult and continued to explore the world with her feet.As a child, Jessica studied dance in her home town. When the first performance arrived, she asked to be put in the back row. Her dance teacher told her there was no back row. Then, she took the stage with the other students and performed her routine. When she finished, the applause from the audience gave her encouragement and the confidence to continue dancing for 14 years.Jessica’s parents eventually met an instructor named Jim Cunningham. After he was told of Jessica’s birth condition, he told her that she would be more than physically able and that only her attitude could hold her back.

However, after my first visit to UK during the summer vacation, I think one thing should be added to the list—street artists.In York, I met a “purple man”. He was in the middle of the street and was pretending to ride a bike. Most of the time, he stood there without making a move. When people went close to him, he would make fun of them putting paint in their Some ranaway to avoid being painted while some accepted it with a smile. From the collection pot beside his foot, I could see that he made a living by taking photos with tourists.I met another performer in Edinburgh. He stood quite still (静止的)and was simply staring at the ground with several flyers (传单)in his hands. When a passer-by took a flyer, he .would dance for a while and then stand still again.Not all street artists are performing for money. Once I saw a young man just lying on the street; facing the ground as if listening to the heartbeat of nature.Before I went to Britain, I had heard that the people there were quite serious and somewhat dull. But what I saw on the streets changed my idea about them completely. These people are interesting and full of unexpectedly good ideas. They just wanted to express themselves in their own ways.Seeing is believing一that’s another thing I learned from my trip, and from the amazing street artists.1.How many street artists does the writer mention?(1分)2.How did the purple man make fun of people who went close to him? (2 分)3.When a passer-by took a flyer from the street artist in Edinburgh, what would he do? (2 分)4.What does the writer think of British people after his trip?(2 分)5. What does "Seeing is believing” mean in Chinese? And what does the writer mean by saying it? (3 分)7You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.For example, the inventors of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.Most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. Start by lookingat what is wrong with things you see now and ask people around if they remember ever saying, "I wish someone would invent something for ..." Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. You can often come up with a solution to a problem if you think about it in a new way. When you try to invent things, you actually use a problem-solving technique(技巧). This problem-solving technique includes two parts:____________and___________. It can work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world?1. Inventions are close to our daily life, aren’t they?2. What was the problem that Cochrane found in her life?3. According to the passage, why do people create things?4. How can we find a problem?5. Complete the sentence in the last paragraph.6. What do you want to invent for your everyday life? Why? (Give at least two reasons)8.Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955. When he was a boy, Jobs and his father always worked on electronics.

We were grocery shopping in a small store one day when I noticed a family come into the store. It looked like a mother, her daughter, and her granddaughter. They were clean, but dressed in worn clothes,and it was clear they were less fortunate. They pushed a cart through the store, carefully selecting items, only necessary foods.My mother and I finished our shopping and headed toward the counter to pay. As we got there, the family was in front of us, with one person in between. As I watched the family place groceries on the conveyor belt, I heard the mother ask the clerk ever so often to check the price, as she only had so much to spend. This took a while, and the person in front of me was getting impatient, mumbling about how he wished they would hurry and finish. When the store clerk did a final total, the woman did not have enough money, so she began pointing to different items to be put back.My mother then did something I will never forget. She reached into her purse, pulled out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to the woman. The woman looked very surprised and said, "I can't take that!" My mother looked directly at the woman and quietly replied, "Yes, you most certainly can. Consider it a gift. There's nothing in that cart you don't really need, so please accept it. "The woman then reached out and took the money, holding my mom's hand for just a moment, and with tears runningdown her cheeks, said, "Thank you so much. No one has ever done anything this nice for me before. "I learned from my mother that day that the best kind of giving is giving from the heart.1.

From the clothes the family wore, what kind of people were they?___________________________________________________________ __________3.

He held a sign which said, "I am blind, please help me."There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?"The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way."What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it."Do you think the first sign and second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Treasure (珍惜) what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to help those who need your help.The second is: Be creative(有创造力的). Think differently. There is always a better way!1.Who sat on the steps of a building asking for help ?___________________________________________________________ _________2.A man walked by and gave the boy a few coins, didn’t he ? ___________________________________________________________ _________3.What did the man do to the boy’s sign ?___________________________________________________________ _________4.What happened to the boy’s hat soon ?___________________________________________________________ _________5.How did the man write the sign?___________________________________________________________ _________6.Which sign do you prefer, the first one or the second one?

2010年海陵区初三英语总复习阅读理解(共20篇)(来自朱庄初中)(1)Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected the papers when the exam ended.‘That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral . We wanted to show students how important honesty is,’ said Cai Wenguo, the school's headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80%of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.‘I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,’ said Lang Yu Dan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11. ‘Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators. But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed.’ said Hua Sha.‘I don't like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed,’ Liu Qing Xi said.‘I think it's very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them,’ Shang Guanyuan said.Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.( ) 1. The passage mainly talks about ____________.A. how to pass an examB. how to make students honestC. whether invigilators are needed in examsD. how to get higher marks ( )2. No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang held a no-teacher exam to __________.A. let the students have a good restB. teach the students in a better wayC. help all the students pass the examD. find whether the students were honest( )3.

Here are 5R rules for us.Reduce If you want to reduce waste, you should use things more cleverly. A large number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly, soon we would not have any trees left. Other things are also being wasted, and people don’t know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to reduce the amount of waste we produce.Reuse You should always think of reusing things before throwing them out. For example, give the clothes you do not use or the ones are too small to the poor. In a family, you may pass on such clothes to young brothers or sisters.Recycle Bottles, cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling we can save lots of time and money. For example, coke cans are sent to a factory, where they are smashed flat and melted. The metal can be used to make new coke cans.Recover When you buy a box of apples, then there will be a few rotten () ones. You have two choices: one is to throw all the apples away; the other is to throw the rotten ones and keep the good ones. In this way, you are recovering the eatable parts of food.Repair If one of the legs of your table is broken, you should repair it. If you want to buy something newer and better, it is better for you to sell the old things, or give it to people who can use it after repair it.Learn the rules to protect our environment. Let’s try our best to make the earth cleaner and more beautiful.( ) 6.

And in Bolivia, there is the Salt Palace Hotel.Thousands of years ago, the area around the Salt Palace Hotel was a large lake. Butover time, all the water disappeared. Today, the area has only two small lakes and two salt deserts.The larger of the two deserts, the Uyuni salt desert, is 12,000 square kilometres. During the day, the desert is bright white because of the salt. There are no roads across the Uyuni desert, so local people must show guests the way to the hotel.In the early 1990s, a man named Juan Quesada built the hotel. He cut big blocks of salt from the desert and used the blocks to build it. Everything in the hotel is made out of salt: the walls, the dome roof, the tables, the chairs, the beds, and the bar.The sun heats(使变热)the walls and roof during the day. At night the desert is very cold, but the rooms stay warm. The hotel has twelve rooms.

He could hear them. They were making a terrible noise. He stood outside the classroom for a few minutes and looked inside through the window. He became angry at what he saw. Some boys were fighting. Others were throwing things at one another. No one was doing any work.The headmaster knew what to do. He would go into the classroom, catch the biggest boy in the class and punish him. This would be an example to the others. He took a deep breath and opened the classroom door. "Silence ! "he shouted at the top of his voice.This time the students stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

She bas just become motherless.A few minutes ago, a big bombing(轰炸) happened near her home in the south of Iraq(伊拉克).Every day we see pictures like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and dries towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost the same size as their small bodies as they quickly left their homes in Baghdad.All this shows that some of the young lives have been turned upside down bythe war.And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children.In southern parts of the country, like the second largest city, Basra, the UN is working to repair the damage(损失) caused by the war. "We are working to provide clean water and get the electrical power to work again," said Geoffrey Keele, a UN spokesman.But little else can be done, in Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try.and let them escape the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed. Some diseases break out among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50% of the Iraqi population, which is over 20 million, is under 15 years old.

Five hopeful cities are waiting to find out where the 2012 Olympics will be held.Hosting is no easy work but it's a good chance for a country to attract tourists and make friends with people from all over the world.Two years ago, cities which were interested in hosting the Games enrolled(登记) their names. Later they handed in their reports to the International Olympic Committee(IOC,国际奥林匹克委员会). Nine cities hoped that they would have the honour. On May 18,2004, after the careful checking of each report, the IOC chose five cities: Paris, London, Moscow, Madrid(马德里) and New York City to be the possible cities to hold the 2012 Olympic Games.Since February, the IOC has visited these five cities, Moscow being the last; to hear each city's report as to how they will host the Games.Want to know the result?

Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main useof coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can sendout a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away.

He had a n unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said”Stop! That’s our duck!”The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey. In the 1930S, ‘ 40s and ‘ 50s Donald and his friends Micke y, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.

The first great invention was one that is still very important today- the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore(探测) much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909. Movies with sound in 1926. The computer in 1928. And jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wear.By this time most people had a very good life, Man has a desire to explore again, The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan , have made their steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon.

九年级英语阅读理解20篇模拟练习【名师精选试题,值得下载练习】AWhen trouble comes, what do we usually do? We pick up our mobile phones and call for help. That’s easy, right? But in an emergency, many people are unable to call for help. Floods and earthquakes come suddenly. Wars can hurt or kill. Successful communication can sometimes mean the difference between life and death.Meet French NGO Telecoms Sans Frontiers (Telecommunications Without Borders (边际)). Its goal is to use mobile communication technology (技术) to help people in need. TSF began in 1998. First, they opened their main base (总部) in France. Then in 2003, they started another base in Nicaragua. The next year they opened their Thailand base. Now if a disaster hits anywhere inthe world, TSF is ready. They can send workers to a disaster area to set up communication systems within 24 hours.Once TSF arrives at a disaster area, they set up telephone connections (连接点)and Internet service. They share these services with other international helpers on the scene such as the UN or UNICEF. Mobile communication helps other volunteers do their jobs better.TSF also offers three-minute phone calls to local people who need to contact their loved ones. These communications can allow people to get together again after being separated (分开). Often the callers are moved to tears after speaking to a relative found to be still alive. Then the families can decide on a safe course of action for their family members.Since 1998, TSF has helped thousands of people in many countries. Most of the TSF workers does not get paid with money, but the satisfaction(满足)of helping others and changing lives is often a great reward.( ) 1.
