Unit 7 阅读理解专项训练 2024-2025学年牛津译林版英语九年级上册

9A Unit7 阅读理解专项训练 一、阅读理解 For me, one of the greatest pleasures in life is going to watch a great film at the cinema. It's a chance for me to get away from real life. There's nothing better than being absorbed in a story unless,of course,someone decides to break down the moment. Whether at a cinema or a huge theatre, someone usually decides to treat the place like their own home! There is an accepted way of behaving at the cinema which some people don't seem to understand. To start with,some people always turn up late causing you to rise from your seat to allow them to go past. Then, when you want to enjoy the surround-sound effects,someone begins to enjoy drinks and popcorn and thus makes a lot of noises. And what I can't stand most is people who decide to chat to their friends,sometimes not even about the film. I'm not alone in this situation. Simon Mayo,a film critic at the BBC, experienced a "new low" during a film. He says,"The woman in front of me got a mirror out,then her boyfriend got a phone out and used the light on it to allow her to do her make-up!" Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema. One of them is to ban mobile phones,and another is not to take your shoes off-a most serious offence(冒犯)! Of course,when we have paid for a ticket,we feel it is our right to relax and enjoy the film in the way we want to,but we mustn't forget our fellow moviegoers who want to enjoy the cinematic experience, too. The best choice for anyone wanting to break the rules of cinema manners is to get a DVD and watch it at home. But we all know that the best way to enjoy the art of cinematography is on the big screen. What about you? What annoys you about other people at the cinema? ( )1. What is considered by Simon to be the rudest at a cinema? A. Using mobile phones. B. Chatting to their friends. C. Taking the shoes off. D. Having drinks and eating popcorn. ( )2." " is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 7. A. Don't break the rules! B. Manners are important! C. Just stay at home! D. It's your choice! ( 3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. popular Cinemas B. A Serious Problem C. Cinema Manners D. An Unpleasant Experience 二、阅读理解 From a young age,I've had a really deep connection with being outside. I've been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I've been on expeditions(探险)in many places like China, Pakistan axed so on. But it was in my home country,the USA,that I came closest to death. It was April 1,2011. I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier,both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche(大雪崩).The kind of avalanche that destroys trees, cars,buses,even houses!Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push rne forward,hundreds of metres,and then cover me, It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up,out of the snowpack. I looked around,and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified. I had a moment to pause and to look at the power of the avalanche. I looked down into the bottom of the valley(峡谷).I could see trees that were 30m tall. Because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me."OK,I' m going all the way to the bottom!”I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the xriountain another 450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me,it was powerful. But in the end,I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped(迸出)right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley. It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris(碎片) across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn't believe it when they saw me, I was so lucky, Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don't know, maybe. but I do know that it's important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift,so use it wisely. ( )1. What impressed the writer most in his skiing experience is . A. the power of snow B. the sight of the valley C. the danger of popping D. the luck of his expedition ( )2.

This mentions the fact that in Chinese culture,it is believed that people who have fair skin are more beautiful. In Western culture,however,the opposite is true-many Westerners think tanned skin is prettier. The example shows that different cultures have different ideas of what they think is beautiful. These cultural meanings of beauty, however,are no longer important. As more end more people travel overseas,ideas about beauty rare being shared among cultures. The Internet has also made it easier for people to share different types of beauty since people are always posting pictures on social media. The result is an ever-changing idea of what is considered beautiful. The cultural practice of ear piercings, for example,has become a part of modern day culture. In Kenya,it is a tradition among the Masai men and women to pierce and then make their ear lobes(耳垂)longer using ivory, wood or stones. They then wear colourful things on their ear lobes. This is a common practice since longer ear lobes are seen as a sign of beauty. This tradition has now found its way into present-day culture. Nowadays,this might still seem unusual to some,but with more and more well-known actors and film stars showing off their longer ear lobes,it will finally become more fashionable. It is understood that different cultures around the world have different ways of showing beauty. However,since we now live in a worldwide society, people's views about beauty are always changing. With the help of the Internet,people are now able to easily borrow ideas from other cultures to help them stand out. So what new fashions can we expect to see in the future? ( )1 .What has made it easier for people to share ideas about beauty? A.The development of technology. B.The popularity of the latest fashions. C.The unchanged cultural traditions.

Different cultures have different ideas about beauty. D. People's ideas about beauty are changing all the time. 四、阅读理解 A young woman turns around and around quickly, and jumps high. In the background,a young girl reads a rejection(拒绝)letter from a ballet school. "You have the wrong body for ballet," it says,"and at thirteen,you are too old." This was one of the most popular advertisements(广告)of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theatre's principal(主要的)dancer Misty Copeland. This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three,Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old,or that she didn't have the perfect body type(She is only 157 cm tall). Her family moved a lot,and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed with her ballet teacher during the week and spent time with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life,but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years. In 2007, she became a solo(单独的)performer, and in 2015 she became its principal dancer. Copeland is now a dancer, author and Broadway performer. She also starred in the 2015 film A Ballerina's Tale .So what's next?

What's the writer's opinion of Copeland? A. Copeland sets an example who never gives up. B. Copeland was too old to start ballet at thirteen. C. Copeland has made her achievements by accident. D.

The film broke the box office records,including the biggest single﹣day gross for a Chinese film as well as the fastest film to cross RMB 2billion,3billion,4billion and 5billion box office marks.It also became the second (and fastest) film to surpass US﹩500million and the first film to gross more than US﹩600million at the Chinese box office.At a total domestic gross of CN 5.67billion (USD﹩880.1million),it is the 2nd highest﹣grossing film of all﹣time in a single market behind only Star Wars:The Force Awakens (﹩936.7million in North America),and having exceeded North America's totals from Avatar (﹩760million),Titanic (﹩659million) and Jurassic World (﹩652million). Wolf Warrior II links art to reality,and reminds people of the massive evacuation of Chinese people from Libya when civil war broke out there in 2011,and from Yemen in 2015,as well as the challenges the Ebola virus created in West Africa from 2013to 2016. The film describes how the Chinese government aims to protect overseas Chinese citizens.Just as the message at the end of the film reads:"Citizens of the People's Republic of China.When you encounter danger in a foreign land,do not give up! Please remember,at your back stands a strong motherland."Thanks to China's increasing participation in global affairs,now could be considered the right moment to introduce a modern Chinese hero. "Holding up a banner of peace,friendship and responsibility,Wolf Warrior II should be seen as a brave effort to promote Chinese values around the world,"columnist Zhu Ping wrote in China Daily."It's time Chinese filmmakers produced films that tell good stories and carry the right spirit.Let us assume Wolf Warrior II has started that trend." 1.What reason makes Wolf Warrior II a great success?

She gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?" "It's not the shortest way, " I answered quickly. "Oh, I don't mind, " she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院).I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long. " I quietly shut off the meter. "What route would you like me to take?" I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighbourhood where she and her husband had lived,the place where she danced as a girl. As the sun was rising, she asked me to go to the address she had given me. "How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse. "Nothing, " I said. "You have to make a living, " she answered. "There are other passengers. " "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy, " she said. "Thank you. " I drove into the fine morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. I drove aimlessly(漫无目的地), lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk.

There's only one place, and that's Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets(布景) in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA. A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn't quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones. The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay at home to watch series, like Dynasty, which have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These "soap opera", as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them. Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new centre, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don't need Hollywood any more. Modern cameras and real houses replace expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower cost. But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry. ( )1. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is . A. a very large park B. a busy London street C. a famous movie company D. an old Hollywood movie ( )2. The movie industry in California isn't as successful as before because . A. young people don't go to movie theatres any more B. there is strong competition from other states C. its movie companies are in need of young stars D. the state hasn't put a development plan into action ( )3. Which of the following seems to be a threat(威胁)to Hollywood? A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment. B. The interest of middle-aged film stars. C. The making of TV series like Dynasty. D. The expensively made copies of scenes. ( )4. What can we learn about "soap operas" from the passage? A. They are teenagers' favourites. B. They are much more expensive. C. They are less attractive. D. They are cheaper and easier to make. ( )5. The passage mainly tells us . A. something about the film industry in the USA B. the importance of soap operas in Hollywood C. the good old days of Hollywood D. the film business in California ### 一、阅读理解解析 1. **答案**:C - **解析**:根据“Simon has helped to create a list of rules on how moviegoers should behave at the cinema.
