一、九年级中考英语阅读理解（人生百味）（含答案详细解析）

1．阅读下列短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

My dear grandchildren Charlie and Mary,

Your mother Rachel has expected me to write down some advice for you. Here are some important things that I've learnt about life. Wish they could help you more or less.

Hold on to your dreams no matter how difficult they are or how “different” they may seem to others. Just do it! The worst thing in life is to look back and say, “I would have ...; I could have ...; I should have...”

Make a “Life List” of all those things you want to do such as travelling to places, learning a skill, mastering a language or meeting someone special. Don't say “I'll do it tomorrow”. There is no tomorrow, and there is no “right” time to begin something except now.

Be kind and spare no effort to help people — especially the weak and the poor. Everyone has a special pain, and they need our care and help.

Read books, as many as you can. They bring pleasure, knowledge and inspiration （灵感） to you.

Always travel, especially when you are young. Don't wait until you have “enough” money or everything is “just right”. That never happens. Get your passport today.

Remember not to argue. It never works, and it only hurts both yourselves and others. You should hug people you love. Tell them how much they mean to you now. Don't wait until it's too late.

Be grateful. There is an Irish saying, “This is a day in our lives, and it will not come again.” Live every day with this in mind.

Yours,

Granny

I was in the fifth grade and about to take a Maths test. In the first grade I had always been good at school, and simple Maths was easy for me and I always did well on tests. When it came to the fifth grade Maths, I couldn't understand it no matter how hard I tried. Mom and Dad had always been so proud of my good grades and I didn’t want to let them down. Just before the test, I had written several of the answers on my desk. I sat nervously as the teacher started to hand out the test papers. I didn’t want to get caught，but I didn't want to fail the exam either. .

As the teacher was walking around me, suddenly the fire alarm went off. It was an unscheduled fire drill （消防演习）. We all rushed to the playground and stood together. As I stood in the warm sunshine, I realized what a fool I had been. I knew my mom and dad would be proud of me and love me no matter what my grades were. As soon as we were allowed to go back to the classroom, I walked to my desk and wiped （擦） the answers away. I had been given a second chance and I wasn’t going to waste it. I took the test, did my best, and felt at peace. I don’t remember what my grade was but that day has stayed in my heart and mind ever since.

I am not sure why God gave me a second chance that day. Life is foil of second chances, but you have to be willing to take them. You have to be willing to correct your mistakes. You have to be willing to follow your heart. Every day when you wake up, you are given a second chance in life.

A. he did very well in all his tests B. he had difficulty in learning Maths

A. Because his teacher asked him to do so.

B. Because his parents asked him to do so.

Only when he had everything planned out did he ask his parents for a loan. "They thought the idea was a little out there," Brennan recently told CNN Money, but he kept pushing, and finally received a $3,000 loan to start his company. Then he began to work on his own designs. The fact that he was colorblind didn't stop him and he has created over 200 designs now.

Business was slow the first year, but then Brennan started pushing his HoopSwagg products heavily on the Internet. Orders soon started coming in in large numbers, and HoopSwagg became a popular brand among custom sock lovers. Right now, his designs can be found on HoopSwagg website, Amazon and eBay.

4．阅读理解

Saying no starts small

"All right then — just one more piece..." Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.

It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say "no" to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.

Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people's lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.

In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow （圆形软糖） now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.

Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.

But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology（心理学） professor （教授） told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train our muscles（肌肉）. Even a little practice can strengthen（加强） our overall self-control if we do it regularly.

You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.

Like muscles, willpower can "get tired". Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge（恢复） your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.

（1）The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to

A. prove that girls have weak willpower

B. introduce the topic of willpower to the readers

C. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girls

D. show the connection between willpower and success

（2）What can we infer from the experiment?

A. The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.

B. It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.

C. The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.

D. The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.

（3）Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?

A. You should have a goal every day. B. Good rest and proper diet can help.

C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly. D. Keep willpower from being used too much.

（4）What is the article mainly about?

A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.

B. How willpower affects people's lives and how it is similar to muscles.

C. How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.

D. How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）A

（4）C

（1）细节题。根据It isn't just girls. Most of us find it hard to say "no" to something attractive. However, scientists now say that willpower is very important to success and a happy life.可知通过讲小女孩吃奶酪蛋糕的例子来引出毅力话题，故选B。

（2）推测题。根据Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier, happier and richer adults.可知毅力强大的孩子成功的可能性更大，故选C。

Don't try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don't have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to recharge（恢复） your willpower with a good night's sleep and by eating well.可知要好好休息和吃好，不能过度使用，故选A。

I've been smoking ever since I was very young. To be honest, I never considered what could happen to my body if I kept smoking. I just knew that I couldn't help smoking, especially when I felt very anxious. One day, I started to notice that it was getting harder and harder for me to do simple things like walking. Several months later, I couldn't get through a conversation without coughing.

Finally, I went to see a doctor. He told me I had COPD（慢肺阻）. He said I had to stop smoking. I wasn't sure I could make it. To be honest, I wasn't sure I wanted to. He said that it would get harder to breathe if I didn't stop smoking, and that one day I might have to be seriously ill in bed. That made me so scared enough that I decided to give a try. However, after a few days, I failed. I knew it would be harder when I spent a lot of time with my best friend who was a smoker.

Then I tried again. That time, I tried the patch（戒烟贴）, which made a big difference. It took almost 5 months, but I was finally able to stop smoking. I could feel comfortable and hopeful.

He wanted to escape, to run away. And that's what he did.

Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest.

Then, disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold.

A tree shook ahead. From within the branches, a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear. Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his chest, arms and legs.

7．阅读理解

Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending（假装） to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.

But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia.

Some kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory（配件、附件）.

Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition（发布一个版本） of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book.

“Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who love their childhood most and hold on to pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee So-jung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.

He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.

Tim Greenhalgh, an adviser in London explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They hold on to childhood because working life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.

“So, they can escape from increasingly busy and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.

（1）Why does a kid wish to be an adult?

A. Because he wants to be independent（独立）. B. Because he doesn't want to be controlled by adults.

C. Because he wants to experience the real world. D. Because he believes there will be more exciting life ahead.

（2）What can we infer（推断） from the passage?

A. Some kidults refuse to grow up. B. Some kidults in Britain like reading on the subway.

C. Some kidults think childhood is the best time of their life. D. Some kidults want to escape from the busy and stressful life

（3）One of the advantages of the kidult culture is that ______.

A. it can make adults face the real social life B. it can make our society young and full of life

C. it can increase the sales of children's books D. it can lead to harmonious（和谐的） relationship between adults and kids

（4）Which of the following is the best title for the article?

A. Kids or Grown-ups B. Happy Childhood C. Fearful Adulthood D. Kidult Culture

【答案】（1）D

（2）B

（3）D

（4）A

【解析】【分析】这篇短文给我们介绍了一些成年人不想摆脱童年，成为大顽童。他们收集他们曾经玩过的玩具。他们仍然喜欢孩子们的故事和童话故事；他们之所以坚持童年拒绝长大，是因为在繁忙紧张的城市工作让他们感到害怕。

（1）推理判断题。根据短文第一段的句子At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young.可知小孩子想要成为大人，因为他们认为那样似乎更兴奋，故答案为D。

（2）推理判断题。根据第四段的句子Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales. For example, the British publisher Bloomsbury even released an edition（发布一个版本） of the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book.可知大顽童喜欢儿童的故事和童话，他们在地铁上阅读儿童书。故答案为B。

（3）推理判断题。根据第六段的句子He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.“大顽童文化填补了成年人和孩子之间的代沟，能给孩子和他们的父母共同喜欢的书籍、电影和卡通节目”，可知大顽童文化能让大人和孩子之间关系和谐，故答案为D。

（4）标题归纳题。根据全文内容和第二段的句子But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become “kidults”. Being a kidult has become a lifestyle choice among young people across Asia.可知现在一些成年人想成为大顽童，故标题应是“孩子还是大人”，故答案为A。

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved reading crime and detective （侦探） novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career （职业） and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn't. They told me that I had to study for a degree so that I would achieve a career, and not something as risky as writing. I suppose I could have studied joumalism （新闻） ,but I didn't want to lose interest in writing because it would be something I would do every day for work, not for pleasure. I thought that teaching looked like a pretty good compromise （妥协） , especially because of the long holidays. It was a good choice: by the time I was twenty-five，I'd already finished two novels and had an agent.

To be honest, I never meant to keep my being a crime writer a secret or anything, and my friends have always known. One of the reasons most people don't know is because my agent told me that my name Hazel sounded too much like a romance （浪漫） novelist for older women. She suggested Brooke Lane and I thought, "Well, if you think it'll make me successful, okay," I'd totally forgotten about it until I walked into school one day and saw one of my workmates reading my novel. I asked her some questions about it, and it was so clear that she had no idea that I'd written it - she even offered to lend it to me after she'd finished! Of course, sometimes I wonder what my students would think if they knew that their teacher was going home on the weekend to write about murders and dead bodies, but I think my parents probably did me a favor: my teaching job keeps me in touch with the real world.

（1）Hazel is probably ．

A. an agent B. a journalist C. a teacher and artist D. a teacher and writer

（2）The underlined words "is very big on " in the passage most probably mean .

A. to give no advice

B. to like something very much

C. to have more experiences

D. to misunderstand something

（3）It's clear that Hazel .

A. agreed to study journalism for a degree

B. accepted Brooke Lane as her pen name

C. would like to write something for teaching

D. told her workmates about her writing novels

（4）Hazel finally realized that her parents' advice on her career was .

A. helpful B. exciting C. disappointing D. risky

（5）We can infer from the passage that .

A. Hazel likes showing off in public

B. Hazel's students all want to write novels

C. Hazel's agent has played a role in her success

D. older women prefer the name Brooke to Hazel

【答案】（1）D

（2）B

（3）B

（4）A

（5）C

Not long ago, my daughter's shoes were scratched（划损）by someone's knife. I took the shoes to the shoemaker to get them repaired. He looked at them and said to me, "If you trust me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes."

I was surprised and asked why. He explained," As if the openings were made on purpose for a special style". I didn't fully understand him, but I decided to leave the shoes there.

Two days later I dropped by from work to fetch the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six more scratches on each shoe, but all the openings were patched（打补丁）by red soft leather（皮革）. They looked special. I couldn't help making compliments（赞扬） on the shoemaker's skills.

Another time, there was a large opening on the back of my wife's sister's white coat. My wife took it over, checked carefully, and then said," Let me take it home and mend it."

Three days later, seeing the coat again, I was shocked: the big opening was taken place by a beautiful flower and it took on a wonderful look. I gave my praise," It's just as beautiful as a piece of art!"

Perfection is impossible to achieve in everything, and so is human's life, which will appear in the form of injury, disability or disease. Since you can't change a wound（伤口）, you should not expect people's pity by exposingthe wound, which shows nothing meaningful. All you can do and have to do is to make up the wound by patches and try your best to grow the most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is the meaning of life.
