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. However, many people in coffee shops drink coffee while working on their computers.Is tea or coffee more common in your country? Between the two, which do you like to drink more?1.

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. What does the under lined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 2 mean in Chinese?A. 名B. 姓氏C. 字D. 昵称3. Why did people call each other by their courtesy names in social life?A. To show their love.B.

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. I’m proud of standing on the stage today.”1. The violin performance made people feel __________.A. regret, hope and lightB. fear, warmth and hopeC. warmth, hope and lightD. pity, warmth and light2.

Ma began to learn to play the piano at nine.B. In 2018, Ma got a chance to study music in Beijing.C. It was more challenging for Ma to learn the piano than the violin.D. Ma could memorize the music score by herself before playing the piano.4. What does the underlined phrase “persist in” probably mean in Paragraph 5?A. keep onB. end upC. take pride inD. look forward to5. Ma’s story tells us __________.A. old habits die hardB. there is no place like homeC. practice makes perfectD. a good friend is like a mirror第（四）篇We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. 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. When did the erhu become a popular instrument?A. In the Tang Dynasty.B. In the Song Dynasty.C. In the Ming Dynasty.D. In recent years.2.

The erhu is used in both traditional and modern music now.4. You may read the passage in the ________ section of a newspaper.A. cultureB. businessC. healthD. nature5. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. the forms of folk musicB. the history of the erhuC. the rise of different dynastiesD. the development of Chinese instruments第（五）篇Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—aletter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim(立目标) high.When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true.Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams.”“I have always kept those words in my mind,” Su said.“When I made up my mind to be a professional(职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance(表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. 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. Finally, your dream will come true.”Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field.1. What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday?A. A letter.B.

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. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be well kept and continue to give pleasure to many people for a very long time.1.According to paragraph 1, what can we learn about the National Parks?A.There are only several national parks in the worldB.

Where may you read the article?A.In Chinese textbooksB. In fashion magazinesC. In history booksD. In geographical newspapers第（八）篇During work hours, among the sounds of machines, the kitche n of Bach’s Bakery (面包房) is especially tidy and quiet, not because of any rules against talking during work hours, but because all of the workers have a hearing disability. 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. Their wish is to continue providing free training for the hearing disabled and that the bakery will never be changed into a shop with moneymaking as its main goal.1.

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. Hundreds of millions of people around the world have seen his films like Firelight, Amblin’ and The Color Purple. His films include two of the most popular films: Jurassic Park and E.T: The Extraterrestrial.Each of Steven’s parents had a deep influence on the young boy’s growing and character. His mother had given up her job when she married. When Steven was six, his father took him to Philadelphia to see his first film, The Greatest Show on Earth. Steven enjoyed this exciting circus (马戏团) story, however he could not understand how a circus could perform on a screen. Part of him felt disappointed that he couldn’t smell the sawdust (锯木) and gunpowder.When Steven was twelve, his parents bought an 8mm Kodak movie camera. Steven’s father handed Steven the camera and asked him to try. The first efforts were terrible, but Steven was interested in camera. He used his toys as characters and began making short films. By his teens Steven had made his first short film, called The Great TrainCrash. Before long the Spielberg house began to look like a film set, with furniture and lights being moved around to prepare for a new film.He is skilled in making a film excite, sadden or amuse people as they watch it. Spielberg understands the life in the countryside, television and fast cars, all of which became more common in his childhood in 1950s America. Films such as Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind succeed because they are about ordinary people.After all the years Steven Spielberg had spent dreaming about getting into Hollywood.

人教版九年级英语阅读理解习题二(含答案)

人教版九年级英语阅读理解习题二（含答案）All living things need energy to live and grow. This energy comes first from the sun. Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food. Animals can not make their own food, and they eat plants. Other animals then eat the plant eaters.A food chain shows what eats what. It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zebras.Lions also eat other animals. Zebras eat other kinds of plants. So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy.A food web shows how food chains work together. From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals.Plants and animals that live in hot, dry deserts depend on water as well as food. Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water. Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats. Kangaroo rats don’t need to drink water. They get all the water they need from the plants they eat. Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food. Ringtail cats also come out only at night. Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats. Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats.Nothing is wasted in a food wed. Vultures eat dead animals. Vultures are scavengers. Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food. They eat animals that are already dead. When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies, it makes a meal for the vultures. Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean.1. Where does the energy that living things need first come from?A. Animals.B. Plants.C. The sun.D. Plant eaters.2.

人教版九年级英语下册阅读理解练习二 (含答案)

人教版九年级英语下册阅读理解练习二（含答案）I.阅读理解In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, “No, I really don’t want to do this.” I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn’t be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone. I tried again with the same invitation, but he r efused once again. That evening I was told the boy’s name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise, I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn’t believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a p hone call from Tommy’s mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said, “Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own “boy und er the tree”.1. Before the writer came to the high school summer camp, he was a (n) _______.A. instructorB. camperC. studentD. reporter2. How many times did the writer invite the boy to join in the activities?A.

From Paragraph 4, we can infer (推断) that Tommy’s mother was very _______ to the writer.A. thankfulB. helpfulC. faithfulD. harmful参考答案I.阅读理解答案1.

With the theme of" ▲ ", people from across the city got together to share their homemade food and discuss the family stories. They also set up a mobile neighbors' library to share books.Sarah from the United States said she had a great time with her neighbors as she experienced the art of Chinese paper cutting for the first time. Masha from Russia, who is studying Chinese at the Ocean University of China, described the event as a great chance to make friends with her Chinese neighbors and learn about the local culture with them. She tried her best at Chinese handwriting and also had great fun learning how to make dumplings. "I love eating dumplings but I never knew how to make them before, "she said." Now I can come to my neighbors' homes and learn in their kitchens."Neighbor Day grew from the needs of the people. With the big support from the government, it has become another culture symbol of Qingdao.（1）Neighbor Day in Qingdao is a festival to .A. welcome foreigners to QingdaoB. learn different western culturesC. make friends with neighborsD. help neighbors out of trouble（2）The underlined word "incident" in Paragraph 2 probably means in Chinese.A. 事件B. 行动C. 过程D. 意外（3）Which of the following can be best put into the blank" ▲ "?A.

As a result, I always liked sleeping with my back facing the wall because it made me a little comfortable.—Gerard, not so afraid of the dark anymore, but still sleeps with his back facing the wallStrange as it probably sounds, I was scared of shadows（影子）.Not the shadows themselves, but what they formed（形成）.Because I was near-sighted（近视的）, the shadows I saw formed into the scariest things I saw in my mind.—Jean, no longer afraid of shadows I was afraid of the old woman who lived alone right in front of us. Very large trees covered the front part of her small house.

I'm not going to say luck, talent, and Circumstances（境遇）don't Come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are Born with great intelligence, and that's just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then make it more practical. And, vesides that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10, 000 hours studying and practising. To vecome great at certain things, it'll require even more time, which most people won't put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don't enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there. It's sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were Born with some unusual talent, But thinking that way does you no good, andthere's a huge Chance that you're wrong anyway.No matter what you do, if you want to Become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction（入迷）, and over a long period of time. If you're not willing to put in the time and work, don't expect to receive any rewards. Hard work won't guarantee（保证）you the level of success you may want, But it will guarantee that you will Become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.（1）Paragraph 1 mainly talks about __________.A. the reasons for successB. the meaning of successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success（2）The underlined word" that" refers to __________.A. putting in more timeB. succeeding in lifeC. Being good at somethingD. setting a practical goal（3）Successful people suggest doing what one loves Because __________.A. work makes him feel painB. he is likely to enjoy his workC. he gives up his work easilyD. it takes a lot of time to succeed（4）What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain that luck or talent leads to success.B. To tell us that one cannot succeed without time and practice.C. To show us that having a goal is the main reason to success.D. To describe that successful people like to show their great skills.5．阅读理解We often hear stories of animals rescuing people. But now someone has managed to return the favor.The event took place on a snowy January morning. Thomas Smith was walking his dog, Jack, in the park. "As I was walking, I just saw Jack running into the ice towards the ducks in the middle, and then he fell into the water and couldn't climb out," said Smith. He realized he had no choice but to try and save his dog. "Someone else told me the lake was only one meter deep, but it was at least twice that. I had to break my way through the 6-cm ice. Finally, I got Jack by the neck and pulled him out. I didn't think I had ever felt so cold by the time we got back to dry land. And when we got there, everyone was asking if Jack was okay—no one was particularly worried about me!"A neighbor, Julie Brown, saw it all happen. "The dog went onto an icy lake. All of a sudden, it started to go under. There were crowds of people around, and they were all shouting and screaming. Before I knew it, the owner （Smith） was in the water forcing his way through the ice, I couldn't imagine how cold it was. Everyone was very nervous, but he was as cool as acucumber-he just crawled back out, put the dog on its lead, and went home.Many regard him as a hero, but Mr. Smith is quite laid—back about it, "Most dog owners are the same as me. They would do what I did without a second thought. But in the future, I'm going to make sure he's on a lead near any icy pond.Pets are members of our family. Would you do the same for them?（1）What happened on a cold January morning?A. Mr. Smith met Jack in the park.B. Mr. Smith ran after Jack on the ice,C. Jack fell from the ice into the water.D.

Every day they are very busy trying to make money for my schooling.One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（缝被子）.I silently sat beside her."Mom, is there love between you and Dad? "I asked in a very low voice.With surprise in her eyes, she stopped her work for a while. Then she said, "Susan, look at this thread（线）.It can hardly be seen, but it's really there. It makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, love should be a thread. Love is inside."I couldn't understand her until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.After they were back, my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road every day. They were so kind to each other and it seemed they were the happiest couple.After two months my father still couldn't walk by himself."Dad, how are you feeling now? "I asked him one day."Susan, don't worry about me, "he said. "I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life."

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on top to form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set up in a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weigh up to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe the wall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they had to transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts think they might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of ice and snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planning and a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moon in midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient people held religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bring good weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar,Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A. Stonehenge was made of stones.B. It is a place for celebrating ceremonies.C. The passing of seasons can be seen there.D. Two gold earrings were found in a grave.（3）The underlined word "accurate" in the last paragraph probably means "________".A. correctB. strangeC. hugeD. heavy（4）Stonehenge was probably NOT originally built for ________.A. touristsB. religious reasonsC. a burial groundD. telling the seasons8．阅读理解Our monthly talks start at 19: 30 on the first Thursday of each month except August.

If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect （尊敬） to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!（1）According to the passage who have a communication problem?A. parents and other peopleB. only school kids and their parentsC. teachers and their studentsD. parents and children of all ages（2）How many pieces of advice does the writer give us to bridge the generation gap?A. 5.B. 4.C. 3.D. 2.（3）The underlined word "bridge" in the passage means "___________".A. 建立B. 消除C. 通过D. 到达（4）If the values of your parents are different from those of yours, you'd better ___________.A. argue with themB. keep away from themC. agree with them all the timeD. tell your parents what you care about（5）The best title for the passage is ___________.A.

Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now, according to the BBC．Digital moneyWe need to pay with cash for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card to shop online, money is spent without us seeing it. That means we are already using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.When ATM cards were first introduced, they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people in Sweden completely stopped using cash last year, and the US might be next.Bionic（仿生的）eyeIt’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a chance to get their sight back-by wearing bionic eyes.A blind eye can no longer sense light, but a bionic eye can use a camera to “see” the environment and send data to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution（高清的）image could be just a few years away.Self-driving carsUnlike a human driver, a self-driving car won’t get distracted（分神）by a phone call, the radio or something outside the window.

It becomes a new system in the world with a global navigation network (全球导航网络). The other three systems are GPS of the US, GLONASS of Russia and Galileo of the European Union.As the name suggests, the global navigation satellite system provides navigation and location services 24 hours a day. As we know, building a good satellite system costs a lot. Besides, the other systems have been set up. Why does China have a new one if there is nothing special?The other three systems have 24 satellites. China’s BDS has six more satellites. What’s special about these six satellites is that they have a relatively fixed area of activity. This can improve BDS’ accuracy (精准度) in China and the Asia-Pacific region to 5 meters, compared with a 10-meter accuracy in other areas.BDS has another advantage-the short message service. It allows users to have a two-way communication. In areas that are not covered by communication signals (信号), users can send short messages. Even in uninhabited areas, such as deserts, forests, mountainous and polar areas, BDS can also make the short message service available.With this service, users who are in danger can tell the rescue team (救援队) their location and condition.As the most populous country, it’s important for China to have its own global navigation satellite system to meet the needs of the country’s development. In fact, BDS is also good business. According to the official report, China’s satellite industry has kept a 20% yearly growth since 2012. And BDS contributes about 80% of it. In addition, BDS has also created countless high-paying jobs. And with continuous improvement, it will have much more to offer in the future.10．Which one is the global navigation satellite system of China?A．BDS.B．GPS of the US.C．GLONASS of Russia.11．How many satellites does BeiDou-3 have in total?A．6.B．24.C．30.12．What does the underlined word “uninhabited” mean in Paragraph 4?A．人口众多的B．无人居住的C．风平浪静的13．What are true about China’s BDS according to Paragraph 5?a. It has met the needs of China’s development.b. It is regarded as good business.c. It has caused a number of people to lose their jobs.A．a, c B．a, b C．b, c14．In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?A．Technology.B．Culture.C．History.04（2022秋·广东梅州·九年级校考阶段练习）The local government of Haidian and the Internet company Baidu had an agreement in January, 2018. They wanted to develop the “smart city” together. Haidian Park was chosen by them. Why was Haidian Park chosen? It is because the park covers about 34 hectares (公顷) near the 4th Ring Road. And it received about 1.2 million tourists last year. It took the workers 10 months to change Haidian Park into an artificial intelligence AI (人工智能) theme park. It was opened to the public in early November.Now the park has driverless buses, smart lamp posts (灯柱) and smart speakers. The buses themselves can run according to the directions from a computer. The smart lamp posts can record a lot of data quickly and well. The smart speakers can understand human instructions correctly. The park gives people a totally new look. People can experience different artificial intelligence here.Che Jianguo said that a total of 10 government departments and companies took part in the rebuilding of the park over the past 10 months. He comes from the park office and he is in charge of the program.In recent years, Chinese high-tech companies begin to do some things in the artificial intelligence industry. The central government also said in October that it would help the development of the country's new generation of artificial intelligence.15．Haidian Park was chosen to become the “smart city” because _____.A．it is the biggest park in Beijing B．it is next to the 4th Ring Road C．it has large size and is popular16．The underlined word “driverless” in Paragraph 2 means “_____” in Chinese.A．无人驾驶的B．无座位的C．跑得快的17．Today, Chinese high-tech companies pay more attention to _____.A．the global economy B．the artificial intelligence industry C．the development of our country 18．The best title of the text is “_____”.A．Haidian Artificial Intelligence Theme ParkB．Chinese High-tech CompaniesC．Building A “Smart City”05（2023·山东日照·日照市新营中学校考三模）China’s biggest solar-powered drone(太阳能无人机), Qimingxing-50 or Morning Star 50, finished its first test flight in September, 2022. The drone was built by the Aviation Industry Corporation of China(A VIC, 中国航空工业集团有限公司)Drones have been used for quite a few years now. There are different ways of increasing the flying time. However, all these methods become less useful compared with the unlimited(无限的) power provided by the Sun. That’s why researchers have been working to make solar-powered drones that can not only stay in the air for longer but also perform more tasks while in the sky.In 2018, China tested the first version(版本) of Morning Star, which was 91 feet wide. Made from a special kind of plastic, the drone was so light, weighing only 41 pounds. Compared with it, the Morning Star 50 is much larger and has a wingspan(翼展) of 164 feet.On September 3, Morning Star 50 took off from an airport in Yulin City in the Shaanxi province in northwest China and landed back 26 minutes later after a smooth flight. Staff told some local reporters that all flight systemsworked normally. This is a good start for future flights of the solar-powered drone that could last for many days or even months at a time.In the US, Airbus has been testing the Zephyr solar-powered drones for the past few years. Its latest version, the Zephyr S, came close to breaking the record for the longest flight. It stayed in the air for 64 days. Unluckily, the drone fell onto the ground only a few hours before it would have set a new record.19．Which one is an advantage of solar-powered drones researchers want?A．They’re cheaper than others.B．They can fly in bad weather.C．They fly at a higher speed.D．They can stay in the air for longer.20．What made the first version of Morning Star light?A．Its look.B．Its material.C．The power it uses.D．The tasks it performs.21．What can we know about Zephyr S?A．It failed to land smoothly.B．It flew for only a few hours.C．It set a new record in the US.D．It had been tested for many years.22．What’s the main purpose of the text?A．To compare different drones.B．To report a drone’s test flight.C．To discuss drones’ future.D．To tell the importance of drones.06（2022秋·广东深圳·九年级校考期末）Most people have a place to call home on Earth. What about in outer space? The International Space Station(ISS) became our first “home” in space in 2000. It welcomed its first crew that year, paving the way for 20 years of future research.“You just have this impression that we’re all citizens of not a particular country, but of the planet,” former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly told National Geographic about working in ISS. “We’re all in this thing called humanity together.”Over the past 20 years, the ISS has mainly been used as a science lab, hosting 241 people from 19 countries, according to NASA．They have gone on spacewalks, done research on how space affects the human body, and even grown plants in space.The station’s development has also benefited people on Earth. For example, the station’s water purification(净化) technology has been used in poor areas to provide clean drinking water. The station also helps to warn us of natural disasters, such as earthquakes.However, after being our home in space for over 7000 days, the station is starting to get old. It has leaked(泄露) air a few times. Scientists think that the station can keep working until 2024. After that, scientists will bring it down to Earth. It is believed that Earth’s atmosphere will burn up most of the station. Other debris(残骸) will fall into the Pacific Ocean.In the future, space will be home to more stations like the ISS. NASA is building a space station that is smaller than the ISS near the moon. Also, China will have its own space station up and running in 2022.23．What did Scott Kelly feel about his work in space?A．Comfortable.B．Proud.C．Bored.D．Lonely.24．What haven’t the astronauts done while working in ISS?A．Clean the raindrops.B．Walk on space.C．Study how space affects the human body.D．Grow plants.25．What can we infer from the 5th paragraph?A．Though the ISS getting old, it will be improved and stay in space.B．The Earth’s atmosphere will help bring the ISS down to Earth.C．The whole station will soon be burnt up and fall into the ocean.D．The ISS will be brought back to Earth after a few years.26．What do we know about the International Space Station?A．It is the first space station launched by NASA．B．It mainly develops water purification technology.C．It benefits all the human beings on Earth.D．It can keep running until 2023.27．What can be the best title of this passage?A．Our Home in Space.B．Visiting the ISS.C．A New Space Station.D．Working in Outer Space.参考答案：1．C 2．B 3．B 4．C 5．A【导语】本文主要讲述2023年，科学技术将继续快速发展。

九年级阅读专练（2）( A )Have you ever trained your brain? Now there are some new suggestions, such as eating dark chocolate and having cold meat for breakfast. You should also avoid (避免) watching soap operas, spending time with people who complain or follow fat-free diets, according to a new book on getting “brain-fit”.Many of the suggestions in Teach Yourself Training Your Brain are surprising. The book says to read out loud while holding a baby. Writers Terry Horne and Simon Wootton say their advice is from the latest research by experts around the world.“For years we have thought our brain capability (能力) is decided by our genes (基因). But it’s now clear that it depends on our lifestyle. What we eat and drink, how we learn at school and what type of feelings we have are all important,” said Horne.The book talks about the most up-to-date thinking in science about how diet, the environment, stress and other sides of modern life affect our brain capacity. It also offers advice and exercises. The book comes as more and more people are spending money on books, DVDs and computer games, which say to improve their brain’s capability.Horne believes that people need to make changes to their lifestyles to increase their brain capacity. Happiness, confidence and an optimistic nature help the brain, he added.“So mix with people who make you laugh, or share the same interests as you. And avoid people who complain,” said Horne. “People who are negative will make you sad, which means you won’t achieve things.”1.

The wind blew all night and the snow was blinding. When morning came, my three children and I got up and made our way to the windows facing north. The wind blew hard from the west, and the snow made it hard for us to see the henhouse (鸡舍).As we looked out of the window, we saw that the henhouse was gone. Our three hens had been blown away by the cold wind. Suddenly I saw all three chickens sat around the edge of a white bucket (桶). I couldn’t believe my eyes! How was this strong win d not blowing them into the field beyond?I pulled on my husband Roger’s long snow pants and heavy winter coat. I wrapped a scarf around my neck and stuck my feet into Roger’s very large boots (靴子).I shouted at the wind as it blew. My children stared out the window into the large white sea of snow, their eyes peeled for any sign of movement. This wind was strong. Getting to the white, almost invisible (看不见的) bucket was difficult.As the snow circled around me, I made my way to the soft cluck-cluck-cluck sound my hens always made. When I reached them, I saw that their little feet were holding on to the edge of the bucket, heads bent forward and away from the wind.I quickly and gently lifted each hen and put it carefully into the warm inside my warm coat. Then I began the freezing walk back. One by one I laid my chickens on the cold floor, and they began to cluck softly.As I shut the doors, my eyes went directly to the window where my children were watching. They jumped up and down cheer ing, and so did I! I wasn’t some dragon slayer (屠龙者) from a story. I was simply a mom, but the look on my children’s faces told me that they thought I was a hero mom.4.
