九年级上期末考题猜想（鲁教版五四制） 专题06 阅读理解15篇 1 Cooking is supposed to be the most basic living skill for humans. However, there are many kids who are used to being fed and taken care of everywhere like “little emperors and little princesses”. They can’t tell the differences between food materials like leeks (韭菜) and shallots (大葱). In order to stress (加强) the importance of hard-working spirit education among students, the Communist Party of China Central Committee recently released (发布) the guidelines (方针). The guidelines call for students to respect labor work. Students should learn basic life skills and develop good working habits through such education. Students will be required to understand and master the basics of home cooking from preparing vegetables to finally being able to complete the whole process of home cooking independently. These will be lifelong skills for kids, helping them develop into well-rounded persons instead of those who are just able to take exams. As children’s first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do chores at home. Students should master one or two life skills every year. These skills can include cooking, washing their own clothes and tidying their rooms. It’s really important for students to take labor education both at school and at home. 1．From the passage, we know that ________.

She runs the 10-kilometer race. She used to be a pretty good sprinter (短跑运动员), but one day all of that changed because of a little mistake she made. One morning, she went to practice early as usual. She was about to take off her running shoes, when she realized she had forgotten her sprinting shoes. When her coach found out, he got mad. As a punishment, he assigned (命令) her to run with the long-distance (长距离) practice group. Although my sister was a sprinter, she was able to keep up with the group. The long-distance coach asked the sprinting coach, “Who is that?” “That’s one of my sprinters,” he said. As the runners neared the final corner, my sister was in the lead, pulling away from the other runners with ease. The two coaches were shocked by her natural long-distance running ability. Another girl was close to her for a while, but because of her sprinting ability, my sister seemed to just pull away from her. It was her first time to run a long-distance race and she came in first! From that day on, my sister’s sprinting days were over. She discovered her talent for long-distance running. She works hard and hopes to go to the Olympics one day. Who knows what might happen?

The surprising result raises questions not just about how smart roosters are, but about how scientists test animal intelligence. ② Scientists use Mark Test to test whether an animal can identify itself. First of all, a mark is put on an animal, usually in a place that can only be seen with a mirror. Then the animal is placed before a mirror. If it seems to pay attention to the mark, scientists believe the animal has identified itself. ③ The Mark Test is often seen as a good way to learn how smart an animals is. ________ Scientists at a university in Germany recently ran the Mark Test on roosters. They put a pink mark on the chest of the roosters. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. ④ So the scientists tried a new test by using the shadow (阴影) of hawk (鹰) to see whether or not the rooster thought it was alone. Roosters may make loud calls to warn nearby chickens when a hawk flies above. If they’re alone, they remain quiet. ⑤ First, the scientists helped the roosters get used to being in a closed—in space and having a mirror around. After some time, they took the mirror out and ran several tests by making a hawk shadow appear above the bird and watching how it reacted. ⑥ When there was no mirror, the roosters reacted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but remained quiet after the other rooster was taken out by the scientists. ⑦ Then, the mirror was put back. When a rooster could see itself in the mirror, it remained silent even with the hawk shadow above it. Later, the scientists put the other rooster behind the mirror. It still didn’t make any sound. ⑧ The results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, and not other roosters. That shows that the Mark Test may not be a good test of whether an animal can identify itself. ⑨ The scientists hope their results will encourage other scientists to look for better ways of testing how smart animals are. It may turn out that some kinds of animals are more intelligent than people though. 1．What is the first step for the scientists to do the Mark Test? A．Paying attention to a mark, B．Putting a mark on animal. C．Feeding an animal some food. D．Placing an animal before a mirror. 2．Which of the following can be put in ________ in paragraph 3? A．As a result, they need a better way. B．However, some scientists did another test on roosters. C．Until recently, only one kind of bird had passed the test. D．But some scientists believe it doesn’t work well for all animals. 3．According to paragraphs ⑤-⑦, which of the following shows the correct order of the second test? A．b-a-e-c-d B．b-e-a-c-d C．a-b-d-e-c D．a-e-b-d-c 4．Which part of the magazine is the passage most probably from? A．Animal World B．Quiz Time C．Science Discovery D．Book Review 5 A recent study says volunteering can be good for health. Maybe it could help with some problems the youth are facing these days. Kids and teenagers who volunteer aren’t just helping others. They might also be helping themselves. The new study found that volunteering through school or other groups is connected with better health among children and teens. Kids who took part in voluntary work were 34% more likely (可能的) to be in very good physical health than those who didn’t, the study found. And those who volunteered were 66% more likely to be considered doing well in general. Kids aged 12 and older who volunteered were 25% less likely to have anxiety than those who didn’t. The findings come from information provided by the parents of some 50,000 kids in the United States ages 6 to 17. About half of those parents reported that their kids did voluntary work. The result of the study comes at an important time for youth health. In recent years, more and more young people suffer from anxiety. More than 40% of high school students reported experiencing feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2021. So there’s a clear need for convenient and useful methods of solving this problem. Giving back to the society may be one choice. And this study isn’t the only one to reach that conclusion. However, studies like this have limitations. Parents answered questions about their kids’ health and voluntary activity. But a parent might not know if their child experiences anxiety (焦虑) or considers themselves to be doing well. 1．How did the author organize paragraph 3? A．By telling stories. B．By listing numbers. C．By answering questions. D．By giving explanations. 2．What does the underlined word “limitations” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Ending. B．Weakness. C．Information. D．Consideration. 3．What can be the best title of this passage? A．Helping Others, Helping Oneself B．Choices for Voluntary Work C．Voluntary Work Builds Kid’s Health D．Healthy People Do More Volunteering 6 The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival.

From the wheel to the Internet, these inventions have changed the way we live, work and communicate. Let’s look back on some of the most important inventions in human history and their influence on society. One of the earliest and most influential inventions is the wheel. The wheel has been used for transportation, farming, and manufacturing (制造业) for thousands of years. It completely changed the way goods were transported and traded, making it easier and faster to move from one place to another. The telephone is perhaps one of the most recognizable inventions of all time. Alexander Graham Bell’s invention in 1876 revolutionized communication, allowing people to talk to each other over long distances. It has become an important tool for businesses, governments, and individuals alike. Finally, the Internet is perhaps the most transformative (变革性的) invention of our time. Created by Tim Berners-Lee in the1980s, it has changed the way we get information, connect with others, and do business. It has also had a great influence on culture, entertainment, and social media. In conclusion, inventions have played a key role in shaping human history and society. And inventors have created the great inventions. If we want to keep pushing the boundaries (界限) of what is possible, it is clear that our world needs more creative and talented inventors. 1．How does the writer develop his idea?

Just one second later, you’ll get it. It’s about how a cat makes his dream come true and goes to space successfully. The robot is real. Its name is ChatGPT, an AI (人工智能). It is popular. Many people want to use it because ChatGPT can write all kinds of texts such as letters, emails, stories and even jokes. It is not just about writing texts but answering different questions. You can ask questions like “How to make beef noodles?” or “What should we bring when we go boating?” It will give you answers quickly. ②The AI helps to make lots of new things, but sometimes people find it is hard to tell who made it. If an AI makes something great, should we say thanks to the AI or the man behind it? ③The second problem with ChatGPT is that it sometimes answers with wrong information. It only learns from the information but doesn’t know whether it is true or not. ④Another big problem with ChatGPT is that some people may use ChatGPT in wrong ways. A 14-year-old school boy told his parents that he wanted to use ChatGPT for learning. But later his parents found he used ChatGPT for doing homework! Peng Xinyi, a Chinese girl said, “It can help fix grammar and spelling problems and make our writing better. But we’d better not use ChatGPT when studying, or we should learn nothing.” ⑤All in all, ChatGPT is useful. It helps people in many ways. However, people should also know its limitations, and then it will make people’s life better. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．By listing numbers. B．By showing ideas. C．By giving an example. D．By asking questions. 2．What’s the best structure (结构) of the passage? A．①/②③/④/⑤ B．①②/③④/⑤ C．①/②/③④/⑤ D．①/②③④/⑤ 3．Where could this article possibly be from? A．A guidebook. B．A story book. C．A science magazine. D．A sports newspaper. 9 One night when they were near Treasure Island, Jim wanted an apple from the large barrel (桶) on the deck. There were only a few apples left, so he climbed inside the barrel and sat in the dark, eating. Suddenly somebody sat down beside the barrel. Jim was going to jump out but he heard Long John Silver speaking. “Flint was the captain.” said Long John Silver, “and I was like him. The cannon (大炮) took away my leg and blinded old Pew as well. But we came home with a ship full of gold. I always did well with Flint. Most of his men are with me.” “Well, I’m with you, too, John,” answered a young voice. It was Dick, the youngest sailor on board. Jim understood immediately that most of the ship’s crew (工作人员) were pirates. They planned to take the treasure. And now the new boy Dick was one of them, too. “I told you that Dick was a good boy,” said another voice. It was Israel Hands, another sailor and a good friend of Long John Sliver. “But how long are we going to wait?” “Well, we can kill them now,” said Long John Silver. “Or we can do it on the island, when treasure is safely on the ship. Or we can wait until Captain Smollett has set the course for home, because none of us know how to do that.” Jim jumped out of the barrel as no one was looking, and ran over to Dr Livesey. He found a chance to tell the doctor, the captain and the squire (乡绅) everything. “It’s strange,” said the captain, “This crew seems fine. Listen, this is what I think: first, we must go on, because if we turn back now, the crew will fight against us immediately; second, we have time to think of a plan until we find the treasure; third, __________ We have your servants, Mr. Trelawney, and ourselves, so that is seven out of twenty-six.” Jim began to feel desperate.

So he had to borrow from his cousins who weren’t so happy to share, and Jon was not pleased that his hair smelled like strawberries all week. And now, Jon couldn’t believe he had forgotten to bring something important again. It was a tradition for Jon’s family to take photos on Christmas morning in front of the tree in their pajamas. Jon was feeling awful. He would be the first one ever to break the family tradition. Would he make an unhappy Christmas for everyone? What could he do? He didn’t want to tell his parents. He went looking around the house, and found an old T-shirt. That could help. He tried putting it on, but it was too small. He got so ▲ that he went through his brother’s bag, trying to find some spare pajamas, only to find himself in trouble when he was caught. Then his brother told their parents. Jon’s parents listened quietly. They were not unhappy at him for not bringing pajamas. They were not even angry that he had gone through his brother’s bag. They were sad that Jon didn’t talk to them about his problem first. They hugged him and told him everything would be just fine. Morning came, and the family stood around the Christmas tree. Everyone was in pajamas except Jon. His uncle asked the family to come together for a photo. Jon felt terrible. “Just a minute,” Jon’s mother said. “Before we take the Christmas photo, I have a special gift for Jon. Open this, honey.” Jon looked at his mother curiously. They never opened presents before the photo.

The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world. ②“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process. Unlike the lanterns in other places, Zigong lanterns use modern technologies such as AI, mechanical engineering (机械工程), and holography (全息摄影术). They are perfect groups of lights, sounds and movements. ③What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart. ④The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries. It’s believed that Zigong lanterns will reach every corner of the world in the future. 1．Which of the following poets could probably enjoy Zigong lanterns? A．Cao Cao. B．Li Bai. C．Tao Yuanming.

A． B． C． D． 12 Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a “sea of digital (数字) technology”. As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mom cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They told me that a great number of young students play with computers or smart phones, but these students have few or no skills to make things,” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. “Many pupils can’t communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smartphone.” Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to communicate with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn’t condemn (指责) the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world. But what is more crucial, we should encourage them to develop social abilities. 1．What is the worst problem according to paragraph 1? A．Children can’t make things themselves. B．Children make too many friends online. C．Children don’t want to communicate with others.

D．General. 5．Which is the best title for this passage? A．The Development of Digital Technology B．Problems Between Parents and Children C．Teach Children Some Digital Technology Skills D．Help Children Make Right Choices in the Digital World 13 When traditional Chinese food baozi and the delicious pizza meet together, what will probably happen? These days a kind of new food called “Baozza” is getting popular online. In Beijing, many local people and a number of foreigners are the fans of the food. Why? The new food has the features (特点) of Chinese baozi and western pizza. It has included the tastes of the two kinds of food. The restaurant, located in Beijing, serves all kinds of tastes of Baozza such as marguerite and BBQ chicken. The inventors of the food are a few American businessmen. They used to travel to Southern China for business meetings. After they saw and ate baozi made of pork or vegetables many times, they came up with the great idea of creating Baozza. Alex Cree, one of the inventors said, “We were talking about the idea of making a kind of special baozi with more traditional western tastes like that of hamburgers and pizza. And then we called it ‘pizza baozi’.” “Many people only order one or two Baozza for the first time. They worry that the food doesn’t taste so good,” Loren Heinold, another inventor said. “However, they will ask immediately for more when they turn around.” 1．What is Baozza according to the passage? A．A kind of western food. B．A new invention of food. C．A new restaurant in Beijing. D．A kind of traditional Chinese food. 2．Who was Baozza invented by? A．Some local people in Beijing. B．A few Americans in Beijing. C．Some Chinese people in America. D．A few businessmen in southern China. 3．Why do some people only buy one or two Baozza for the first time? A．They don’t have enough money. B．They don’t like the special taste. C．They worry that it isn’t healthy. D．They worry that it isn’t delicious. 4．Which question could best help us find out the writer’s purpose (目的)? A．Did the writer try to teach us skills? B．Did the writer invite us to a restaurant? C．Did the writer help us understand ideas? D．Did the writer introduce us something new? 14 People know animals do have feelings, but they are not sure if these feelings are correctly understood. In recent years, scientists have done research about the feelings of cows, frogs and pandas. ________ It says that humans can tell whether a chicken is happy or sad by listening to its calls. The researchers put a bowl behind a door. Inside the bowl, sometimes, there was something chickens love to eat, such as rice or insects. Sometimes, there was nothing. When the chickens saw food behind the door, they seemed happy and produced fast and loud sounds, known as food calls. When there wasn’t food, the chickens made low and long noises to express disappointment. The researchers recorded all these sounds and studied their waves. Then the researchers chose 16 recordings of such chicken noises. Half were from the chickens seeing the food and half were from the chickens finding no food. The recordings were played to 194 volunteers. Sixty-nine percent of the volunteers correctly understood whether the chickens were feeling happy or not, and some of them even had no experience of taking care of chickens. The result shows that humans have the natural ability to understand the feelings of chickens. Hopefully, this finding can bring about new technology to help with chicken-raising, a big industry in many countries. Some scientists are already working on a smart computer program that can identify chickens’ feelings. This is good news for farmers who want to make the birds happier and healthier. 1．Which of the following can be put in “________” in Paragraph 1? A．Humans may not like animals.
