About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的. No one had told them about the British custom (习惯)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably besurprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult (成人) ——it's just not done in Thailand .1. The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen _________ .A. were foreignersB. didn't have ticketsC. made a loud noiseD. didn't line up for the bus2.

They take the children home. If the police see a fight，they put an end to it right away. Sometimes people will ask the police how to get to a place in town. The police can always tell the people which way to go. They know all the streets and roads well.Some police stand at crossings. They tell the cars when to go and when to stop. They make sure that the cars do not go too fast. They help children cross the street. They also help people who can't walk too well.Without the police，our streets would not be safe. Cars might go too fast and hurt people. Lost people might never be found. The police do a good job. We need them. And we should thank them for a job well done.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

人教版九上英语阅读理解10篇(含答案)
九年级上册阅读理解10篇【一】Since the start of COVID-19, many people have been stuck(困住的) indoors.Online classes and working from home mean sitting around a lot.We already know that if we don’t move much, we get fatter, we get heart problems and maybe we get diabetes(糖尿病). But new studies have shown that it could be bad for our mind, too.A study of 937 American adults during COVID-19 found that about one-third of them sat around for more than 10 hours per day. It reported that people who sat for too long often showed more symptoms of depression(抑郁的症状).Another study studied children aged 12, 14 and 16. It found that the longer they sat, the higher depression scores they would get by age 18. According to the study, if eighteen-year-old children sat too often, they had depression scores 28 percent higher than those who were more active.Scientists are not sure yet about the connection between too much sitting and depression. But an expert named Mats Hallgren said, “sitting for too long can slow blood flow(流动) in the body including blood flow to the brain. It might also influence the growth of neurons(神经细胞) in the brain. And couch potatoes might do other unhealthy things while sitting on the sofa, such as eating on junk food. All these may lead to depression.”Is there any good news? It’s easy to deal with the problem. Aaron Kandola from University College London, UK, said “all kinds” of movement might help, even light activity.“It is great to exercise and play sports,” said Kandola. “But anything you can do to avoid sitting for too long will help with mood(情绪), stress and thinking clearly.” The key message is just to move more, more often.（）1. What will probably happen if we don’t move much?A. We will become heavier.B. We will be healthier.C. We will feel relaxed.（）2. According to the study, _______ American adults sat around for more than 10 hours a day during COVID-19.A. about 200B. About 300C. About 500（）3. What might “couch potatoes”mean in paragraph 5?A. 沙发上的土豆B. 血液流动迅速的人C. 坐在沙发上懒得动的人（）4. What can we learn from the passage?A.Sitting for too long is good for teenagers’health.B.More exercise might make people happy and think clearly.C.C. It’s difficult to solve the problems caused by sitting for too long.（）5. What’s the purpose(目的) of the text?A. To encourage people to move more often.B. To introduce the symptoms of depression.C. To explain the reason why people sit too often.“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade(柠檬汁).” This is a common saying in English and it encourages positive attitude(积极的态度). Lemons tastes very sour. However, by adding water and sugar to them, you will be able to enjoy a delicious drink.Because of COVID-19, life has given you a lot of lemons lately. It’s autumn time. Nature is fascinating and the weather is cool. You should be outside playing. But if you do that these days, you will probably become ill. You have no choice but to stay indoors. So, what should you do? Just sit there and eat lemons, or learn how to make lemonade?Home quarantine(居家隔离) is giving people the chance to do things that they didn’t have time to do before, such as reading, learning to cook, taking up their hobbies and spending more time with families. For younger people, the home quarantine could also be a chance to learn an important life lesson directly: While life can be difficult at times, it can still be enjoyed if you have the right attitude.There are some things you can do to keep a positive attitude. First, stay healthy. Don’t stay up late or sleep too long. And do some exercise every day. Second, make a time plan for study and hobbies, or just some quiet time for yourself. Third, care about others. Your parents may have much stress these days, so don’t make their lives any more difficult by, for example, arguing with them.The pandemic(疫情) will finally end, but you will always remember it as a big event in your life. Hopefully, it will make you and all of China’s younger people stronger and more positive so that you will forever be known as the “lemonade” generation(一代), and not the “sour” one.（）1. How does the writer start the text?A. By giving some suggestions.B.By telling his experience.C. By explaining a saying.（）2. In the writer’s eyes, the underlined word “lemons”in paragraph 2 means _______.A. fruitsB. troublesC. tricks（）3. Younger people could do the following things during home quarantine EXCEPT(除了) _______.A. exercising in the parkB. taking up new hobbiesC. learning an important life lesson（）4. To keep a positive attitude during of COVID-19, we can _______.A. study day and nightB. develop healthy living habitsC. care little about our parents（）5. What can you infer from the text?A. Like father, like son.B. An apple a day keeps a doctor away.C. Life is about learning to dance in the rain.The two boys, Tom and Huck, hiding upstairs(楼上), were very frightened(惊吓的) because they worried about being found by Injun Joe and his friend. Through the hole in the floor, the two boys saw the men eat and talk. Then the men were tired and fell asleep. Tom and Huck lay there for a very long time. Finally, the two men woke up and lifted up a stone in the ground and took out some money they had stolen. Then Injun Joe lifted up another stone and found a box.“What’s this?” Injun Joe asked.The two men pulled the box out of the ground and opened it. The two boys,Tom and Huck, couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw there was much money in it. They were very excited.“There’s thousands of dollars in the box!” said his friend.“It must have been left here by Murrel,” said Injun Joe.“What will we do with it?”“We’ll take it to my hideout(隐匿处).”“Number one or number two?”“Number two, under the cross.”Then Injun Joe and his friend saw some tools in the corner and decided to go upstairs. But the stairs(楼梯) broke when Injun Joe stood on them! So the two men left the house and went towards the river. Tom went home as quickly as he could.The next day, the two boys remembered the “Number two”, thinking this must be the number of the room in the hotel. They got all the keys they could find anywhere. But Tom discovered the door was not locked. He opened it!—Adapted(改编) from The Adventure of Tom Sawyer（）1.Why were Tom and Huck very frightened?A. Because they worried about being found.B.

Tom opened the door of the room in the hotel with the key that he found.【四】The natural world is colorful with humans, plants and animals showing different colors.Human skin can be many different colors and it changes with the sun, our feelings or our health. This is because of pigments(色素). And they reflect light and make what the eye sees as colors. So, when we feel excited or angry, our heart can send more blood to the face and the pigments in the skin become red. This is why we have the expression that someone “sees red” when they are angry.Plants also have pigments. Color is important for them to live on. The bright colors of flowers catch the attention of insects. And then they carry their pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. Bees(蜜蜂) can see colors humans cannot, and they follow these to the inside of the flower. Without bees visiting flowers in this way, many plants would die out.Animals also use colors for their own need. They protect themselves with different colors so that they won’t be seen by predators. Take the hare (a type of wild rabbit) for example. It changes colors with seasons for this reason. During summer it is a brown color, and in winter it is white so that it can hide in the snow. However, some animals use colors as a warning to make predators stay away. Bright colors such as yellow and red are often used in this way. Nature, however, is very clever, and predators also use colors to attract(吸引) the animals they feed on.So, we can see that there may be many different reasons and uses for colors in the natural world. Some uses of color in nature remain unknown, but one thing is for sure. Color not only makes our planet beautiful but it is also necessary for our planet to live on.（）1. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us that _______ cause(s) human skin to change color.A. healthB. pigmentsC. sunshine（）2. Flowers use _______ to attract bees, and bees carry _______ from one flower to another to make them live on.A. colors; leavesB. leaves; colorC. colors; pollen（）3. The underlined word “predators”in Paragraph 4 means _______ in Chinese.A. 捕食者B. 受害者C. 藏匿者（）4. Which is WRONG about animals’using color for their own need?A. They protect themselves from predators.B. They use colors to attract predators.C. They warn predators to stay away.（）5. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To describe animals’ways of life.B. To encourage us to study color in nature.C. To introduce the uses of colors for life on earth.【五】Finland lies in the northern part of Europe. It is not only the hometown of Santa Claus, but also rich ground for heavy metal (金属) music. For every 100,000 people, there are 70 metal bands, according to Medium. Every year, thousands of “metalheads” get together at Finland’s many metal festivals, especially during summer. In 2019, Finland held its first Heavy Metal Knitting (编织) Competition. Twelve groups from eight countries took part in it. Many music lovers don’t like heavy metal music because of its rudeness and loudness. But why does this form of music become so popular in Finland?Where you live makes you who you are. The cold and sometimes awful weather make the Finnish people become more and more interested in this heavier form of rock. “When someone is in the cold and dark environment for long periods of time, it is only natural that some form of depression (忧郁) will start to set in,” the website A Metal State Of Mind reported. “How do many Finns deal with this depression, and than metal.”According to Medium, most Finnish people are emotionally restrained (情感克制的). The Finns do not easily express their feelings when they talk. Whatever feelings — soft or hard — they feel, they keep them inside. For them, emotional introversion (内向性) is a form of behavior in Finland.“I feel that the introversion also has to do with the fact that we don’t want to tell personal secrets to others. It has not been socially acceptable to show great feelings, such as anger or sadness.” One has to appear ‘strong’ at all costs, “Ida-Katharina Kiljander, one of the lead singers of a metal band Mournful Lines, told Medium. “It is difficult to discuss our feelings, but still we need a way to deal with these anger or sadness.”（）1. How many heavy metal music bands took part in the Heavy Metal Knitting Competition in 2019?A. Seventy.B. Twelve.C. Eight.（）2. What does the underlined sentence Where you live makes you who you are. in paragraph 2 mean?A.一方水土养育一方人。

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.2.

This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicaChristian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate —refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.6. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatmentB. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germD. a kind of ric7. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better cropsC. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness8. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them.B. To carry out his experiments.C. To give the Javanese a surprise.D. To make money by selling them.9. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more riceB. eat more meatC. eat some chickenD. eat vitamin pills10. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. beri-beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn’t like vita minsC. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!11. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.13. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant14. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time15. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.Attitu des are important. Whether they’ positive or negative, they’ rubbing off on you. If you’ around re re re people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.16. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD.

The musicians’ words at the beginning are writ ten mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding19.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W.

One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words.However, let’s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two g eese — so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.36. According to the passage ______.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round37.

Overlook and oversee.C. Quite a lot and quite a few.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.39. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.A. blowB. roll upC. get hurtD. finish40. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.A. cleverB. crazyC. lazyD. dullA friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，street urchin was walking around the shining car．this your a “Is car，Paul？”he asked．Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…” He hesitated．Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．was going to wish he had a brother like that.

He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Chri stmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

I was only 14, and at first I missed my family a lot. Ioften called them and cried on the phone. But after two weeks, I found I enjoyed being with my classmates at school. I hadmany friends who were boys. I thought of them as my best friends - but only friends. I never guessed my friendships with boyswould become a problem.Then, three months later, my friends told me that some teachers and girls said I was hanging out with boys all day long inorder to get attention from them. Seven months after that, the head teacher Mr. Wang asked the class to choose some students tojoin the Student Union. I thought I could win because I was doing well in school. I'd already won prizes for the best math andEnglish exams. A week later, the list came out and it didn't include me. I was sad.Mr. Wang came to me and said, "Don't be sad. I know you're excellent! Maybe you're a little distant from the girls in ourclass. They don't know much about you, so some of them didn't choose you. It doesn't matter. Do your best to get alongwellwith everyone and I think you'll make it next time."61. What was the writer's problem when she first entered the boarding school?A. She didn't like her new school.B.

If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch withhim, you may say something like this, “I 'm afraid it 'll have to besomeplace cheap, as I have very little money." The other person may say, “OK, I 'll meet you at McDonald ' s."This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,“ Oh, no. Iwant to take you to lunch at Smith 's," or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They ' re great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go withhim and you needn ' meal. You may just say, “ Thank you. That would be very nice."American customs （ 1） about who pays for dates （ 2） are much the same as in other parts of the world. Inthe old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university （ 3） girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “ Come, as my guest （4） .” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning.Notes: （1） custom/'kstm/n.风俗 （2） date/delt/n.约会 （3） university/、ju : nI'v : sltl/n.大学 （ 4） guest/gest/n. 客人1.

Passage 1When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw manyIndians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place CostaRica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee isthe most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. CostaRicans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education isa must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvesttime and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.2. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and redB. grey and blackC. blue and greenD. yellow and orange3.

This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa Rica1Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生维生 素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.6. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatmentB. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germD. a kind of ric7. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better cropsC. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness8. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them.B. To carry out his experiments.C. To give the Javanese a surprise.D. To make money by selling them.9. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______.A. eat more riceB. eat more meatC. eat some chickenD. eat vitamin pills10. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. beri-beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn’t like vita minsC. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappearsoon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for ayear or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again bychance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese tounderstand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Anotherdifficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in theirpersonal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take daysoff to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually athomes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expectthat we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm andreal. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to goto restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!11. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an AmericanB. a ChineseC. a professorD. a student12. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.13. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airportB. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his homeD. treated to dinner in a restaurant14. The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______.A. strict with timeB. serious with timeC. careful with timeD. willing to spend time15. A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A. Friendships between ChineseB. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans’ hospitalityD. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendshipsThe other day I heard a few local musicians talking:“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to putit another way, you are who your friends are.Attitu des are important. Whether they’ positive or negative, they’ rubbing off on you. If you’ around re re re people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to takea look at the people you call “friends”.This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.16. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD.

The musicians’ words at the beginning are writ ten mainly to show ______.A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding19.

He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one 3 of her fingers.“ This coul d have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.21.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is abook called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (职业) since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests.

There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two g eese — so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That’s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.36. According to the passage ______.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round37. Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth.B. Geese.C. Meese.D. Tooth.38. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy.B. Overlook and oversee.C. Quite a lot and quite a few.D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.39. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “______”.A. blowB. roll upC. get hurtD. finish40. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are ______.A. cleverB. crazyC. lazyD. dullPassage 9A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office， street urchin was walking around the shining car． this your a “Is car，Paul？”he asked．Paul answered， “Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised． “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…” He hesitated． Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for． was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the He boy said surprised Paul greatly.“I wish,” the boy went on， “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？”“Oh yes，I'd love that． ”After a short ride， boy turned and with his eyes shining， the said， “Paul， would you mind driving in front of my house”Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul wa s wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are” the boy asked．He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Chri stmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.

英语阅读理解专项练习题及答案篇三British newspapers are much smaller than they used to be and their readers are often in a hurry ,so newspapermen write as few words as possible .They tell their readers at once what happened ,where ,when and how it happened and what was the result : how many people were killed ,what change was done and so on .Readers want the fact(事实) set out as fully and accurately as possible .Readers are also interested in the people who have seen the accident. So a newspaperman always likes to get some information (信息)from someone who was there, which can be given in the person’s own words .Because he can use only a few words ,the newspaperman must choose those words carefully ,every one must be effective(有效). Instead of “he called out in a loud voice”, he writes” he shouted”; instead of “the loose stones rolled noisily down the side of the mountain”, he will write” they thundered down the mountainside”。

初三英语阅读理解(一)My friend Matt and I arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The accommodation wasn't wonderful，but we had everything we needed (beds，blankets，food)，and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had come along with two friends，Kevin and Simon，while sisters Carole and Lynn had come with Amanda. There were some other members I didn't know. We had come from different places and none of us knew the area.We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors，but none of us was sure exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock-climbing and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves(岩洞) first. Climbing out was harder than going in，but after a good deal of pushing，we were out at last. Though we were covered with mud，we were pleased and excited by what we'd done.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

How much do you know about your neighborhood? Can you recognize your neighbors’ faces? Teenagers from Live Oak in California, US would say yes. They took photos of their neighbors and put them on city walls.The kids took part in an international photography experiment called the Inside Out Project. It calls on (号召) people around the world to take black and white photos to discover and share something about where they live. People can upload pictures to the project’s website. Large prints are then made and sent back to people to show in their communities.In Live Oak, you see big pictures on the walls of an art studio (工作室) and a supermarket.
