专题04 阅读理解 主题01 人与社会 Passage 1 （23-24九年级上·天津南开·期中）阅读下面材料，判断每小题的正误。正确的涂 A，错误的涂B。 Have you ever had problems in your life and don’t know how to be happy? If so, you will find “Being a Happy Teenager” by Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful. In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers. The book says we should stop being angry. The book tells us of useful skills. For example, if you want to make your memory better, you can put what you will have learned into pictures of your mind. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things. Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short, but Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive way. If you are tall, you can get a better view (视线) at the movie. If you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews’s most important lesson: you choose to be happy! 1．Andrew Matthews is a very happy teenager. 2．The book tells us how to have a happy life. 3．Matthews believes happiness comes from a good exam result. 4．Some school boys are worried about being too tall or too short. 5．According the book, we should think about the advantages when we have problems. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Being a Happy Teenager这本书如何拥有快乐的生活及回答了青少年困惑的问题。 1．细节理解题。根据“If so, you will find ‘Being a Happy Teenager’ by Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful.”可知，马修斯是澳大利亚作家，而不是一个非常快乐的青少年。故填B。 2．细节理解题。根据“In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers.”可知，马修斯告诉我们如何拥有幸福的生活。故填A。 3．细节理解题。根据“Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise from other people.

Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive ambiguous or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If someone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work, I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I had someone important to meet with.

Do they have any strict family rules for you? Do they make you feel stressed? Recently, a mother’s special idea about her kids’ playtime has caught people’s attention online. Jessi Meeks says every day, her three kids get an hour where they get to do “whatever” they want. She calls it “whatever-makes-you happy hour” . Meeks’ idea came naturally from one of her kids’ suggestions. “One afternoon, the kids were outside painting and my husband and I were trying to talk and carry on a conversation. My oldest son Cannon looked at me and asked, ‘Can I paint my hands?’ And I said, ‘Whatever makes you happy. You all just do it and be quiet so Mommy and Daddy can talk to each other.’ ” Meeks recalls. “And from then on, around that same time of the day, they would ask if they could do something and we’d be like ‘Sure, whatever makes you happy.’ ” But Meeks also sets necessary boundaries (界限). “If they start hurting themselves or hurting each other, we step in.” she adds, “And we don’t let them watch TV. ” Meeks believes the hour of free playtime has been beneficial for her kids. If they make a big mess, she thinks it’s a good chance to teach little ones the practice of tidying up. At the same time, it’s also a great way to allow time for them to explore and play the way they want. “Even though the kids make a mess at times, it has worked out well for everyone in my family.” Meeks says.

After learning more about her life, I got the feeling that she had been named “Hope” for a good reason. Something of her life has lived on. In June 2003, Stout was very much like any other 12-year-old girl. She was looking forward to her family’s annual beach trip. But a sudden pain in her knee changed everything. After conducting some tests, doctors found that she had bone cancer. Stout began to receive painful treatments. She never lost hope and believed that in the end, she would be able to beat cancer. Unfortunately, the treatments did little to stop the disease from spreading. By November, she was forced to use a wheelchair to get around. Then, something magical happened. It changed many lives. In the United States, there is a Make-A-Wish (MAW) foundation. It helps children in need fulfill their wishes. In November 2003, MAW visited Stout and told the girl she could have anything she wanted. Stout thought for a few minutes and then answered, “I am still lucky. I have been to Disney World and swum with dolphins in Mexico. I went to the beach all the time. Did you just say there are 155 kids on your waiting list? Well, my wish is to let their wishes be fulfilled—all 155 of them” It was hard for MAW to fulfill Stout’s wish—it would cost nearly $750,000. However, it sprang into action. Newspapers, radio and TV stations shared the story. A local company got the ball rolling with a $25,000 donation. Sadly, Stout didn’t live to see the happy ending of this story. After her death, donations poured into the MAW office even faster. On January 16, MAW announced that they had raised $1,116,000—enough to fulfill all 155 wishes. Finally, Stout’s wish came true. 31．According to the article, what does the Make-A-Wish foundation do? A．It helps sick people to make wishes. B．It helps children in need achieve their wishes. C．It helps children raise money for cancer treatment. D．It helps spread children’s stories through the media. 32．What did Stout wish MAW to do? A．To raise $750,000 to cure herself. B．To leave something good of her in the world. C．To visit Disney World and swim with dolphins in Mexico. D．To fulfill the wishes of all the 155 kids on the waiting list. 33．Why did Stout still think she was lucky? A．Because she had a chance to meet MAW. B．Because she had spent a wonderful childhood. C．Because she would beat cancer and get well soon. D．Because she was able to use a wheelchair to get around. 34．Donations poured into the MAW office even faster after Stout’s death because ________. A．her story moved more people B．more companies got the ball rolling C．people were getting richer and richer D．the wishes of more children needed to be realized sooner 35．Which of the following can be the best title for the article?

Many people look after animals as pets. The love for animals may be why both children and adults (成年人) enjoy going to zoos. In the past, zoos were usually started by rich people. The first zoo was started by a queen in Egypt in 1500 BC． Raising animals was a way for people to show they were wealthy and powerful. Sadly, the animals in the early zoos were not treated well. They didn’t receive enough attention or care. Today, zoos still bring people pleasure, but they try to protect animals and teach people as well. Zoos must follow rules. People must provide animals with a clean place to live, food and water, and health care. In this way, the rules help protect the animals. Some people think the rules are not enough. They want to do more to protect the animals they love. For example, people disapproved of the use of some large animals in shows. They thought the zoos didn’t have enough space for the animals to show. They also thought the animals were not treated properly. With so many people against the shows, the zoos decided to make a change. People see animals in zoos. At the same time, they try to learn about and protect them. Both people and animals can get a lot from each other. 51．Who started the first zoo? A．A queen in Egypt. B．A king in Egypt. C．A queen in England. D．A king in England. 52．How does the writer feel about the animals in the early zoos? A．He doesn’t care about them. B．He feels sad for them. C．He is proud of them.

They didn’t receive enough attention or care.(可悲的是，早期动物园里的动物没有得到很好的对待。它们没有得到足够的关注和照顾。)”可推知作者为它们感到难过。故选B。 53．细节理解题。根据“Today, zoos still bring people pleasure, but they try to protect animals and teach people as well. Zoos must follow rules...In this way, the rules help protect the animals.”可知现在的动物园要遵循规则去保护动物。故选D。 54．词句猜测题。根据“For example, people disapproved of the use of some large animals in shows.

They are collections of M.U.S.A．(Museo Subacuático de Arte), an underwater museum and one of the largest art projects in the world. British artist Taylor created the museum.

Among the sculptures, about 90 were of people from the neighbouring fishing village of Puerto Morelos. It looks like they are protecting their sea.

If so, you will find “Being a Happy Teenager” by Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful. In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers the questions of teenagers. The book says we should stop being angry. The book tells us of useful skills. For example, if you want to make your memory better, you can put what you will have learned into pictures of your mind. Many teenagers think that happiness comes from a good exam result or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things. Success comes from a good attitude. If you learn from problems, you will have success in the future. Some school boys have problems such as being too tall or too short, but Matthews tells us happiness comes from thinking about things in a positive way. If you are tall, you can get a better view (视线) at the movie. If you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthews’s most important lesson: you choose to be happy! 1．Andrew Matthews is a very happy teenager. 2．The book tells us how to have a happy life. 3．Matthews believes happiness comes from a good exam result. 4．Some school boys are worried about being too tall or too short. 5．According the book, we should think about the advantages when we have problems.

Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive ambiguous or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If someone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work, I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I had someone important to meet with. When I just got to my office, the secretary showed me to the meeting room and there I saw the man who had asked me for directions! Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at first sight! 1．The writer always refuses to give people directions because ________.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·天津和平·期中）If you visit some villages in the English countryside, you might be lucky to see morris dancing (莫里斯舞). People are not sure how old this kind of dancing is. Some think it started 2, 000 years ago, but most agree that morris dancing is probably about five centuries old. Many agree that it celebrates traditional English farm life on holidays. Morris dancers wear traditional costumes. Usually, this is a white shirt, a bright jacket, a hat and small bells called “jingle bells”. There are different styles of morris dancing from different places around England. In Cotswold morris, the dancers usually carry white handkerchiefs and sticks which they hit as they dance. Morris dancing styles from the north of England often use swords (剑) instead of sticks, and dancers can look a little like soldiers, which is different from southern styles. It is common in this style for men and women to dance together. Border morris comes from the west of England, near the border with Wales. Dancers in this style usually wear normal clothes decorated with pieces of colorful paper, and sometimes they put black paint on their faces. Morris dancing is an old English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis (危机). As the years go by, fewer and fewer young people join morris dancing groups.

Do they make you feel stressed? Recently, a mother’s special idea about her kids’ playtime has caught people’s attention online. Jessi Meeks says every day, her three kids get an hour where they get to do “whatever” they want. She calls it “whatever-makes-you happy hour” . Meeks’ idea came naturally from one of her kids’ suggestions. “One afternoon, the kids were outside painting and my husband and I were trying to talk and carry on a conversation. My oldest son Cannon looked at me and asked, ‘Can I paint my hands?’ And I said, ‘Whatever makes you happy. You all just do it and be quiet so Mommy and Daddy can talk to each other.’ ” Meeks recalls. “And from then on, around that same time of the day, they would ask if they could do something and we’d be like ‘Sure, whatever makes you happy.’ ” But Meeks also sets necessary boundaries (界限). “If they start hurting themselves or hurting each other, we step in.” she adds, “And we don’t let them watch TV. ” Meeks believes the hour of free playtime has been beneficial for her kids. If they make a big mess, she thinks it’s a good chance to teach little ones the practice of tidying up. At the same time, it’s also a great way to allow time for them to explore and play the way they want. “Even though the kids make a mess at times, it has worked out well for everyone in my family.” Meeks says. She views “whatever makes-you-happy hour” as a daily period to make new memories and build a good family relationship. 11．How does the author start the passage? A．By explaining a fact.

A．when the kids get into fights B．if the kids mess up the room C．if the kids are going to the cinema D．when the kids draw on themselves 14．What does the underlined word “beneficial” probably mean? A．Useful. B．Peaceful. C．Successful. D．Needful. 15．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A．To show a new kind of family rules. B．To introduce some good family activities.

The weekend is usually a time of rest. But some teenagers (青少年) can hardly rest during the weekends. Ji Chunying is a Grade 9 student. The 14-year-old girl has to get up at 6:45 am on Saturday. Then she has a whole day of classes. On Sunday, she goes to extra (额外的) classes for math and physics. But Ji doesn’t complain (抱怨 ). She says her classmates all work very hard, finding no time to have fun. Zhao Yang, 13, is from Dalian, Liaoning. As a Grade 8 student, Zhao’s weekend is less busy. But he still spends Saturday in school. On Sunday, after finishing homework, he plays basketball. “I feel happy because I still have time to do the things I like,” he said.

After learning more about her life, I got the feeling that she had been named “Hope” for a good reason. Something of her life has lived on. In June 2003, Stout was very much like any other 12-year-old girl. She was looking forward to her family’s annual beach trip. But a sudden pain in her knee changed everything. After conducting some tests, doctors found that she had bone cancer. Stout began to receive painful treatments. She never lost hope and believed that in the end, she would be able to beat cancer. Unfortunately, the treatments did little to stop the disease from spreading. By November, she was forced to use a wheelchair to get around. Then, something magical happened. It changed many lives. In the United States, there is a Make-A-Wish (MAW) foundation. It helps children in need fulfill their wishes. In November 2003, MAW visited Stout and told the girl she could have anything she wanted. Stout thought for a few minutes and then answered, “I am still lucky. I have been to Disney World and swum with dolphins in Mexico. I went to the beach all the time. Did you just say there are 155 kids on your waiting list? Well, my wish is to let their wishes be fulfilled—all 155 of them” It was hard for MAW to fulfill Stout’s wish—it would cost nearly $750,000. However, it sprang into action. Newspapers, radio and TV stations shared the story. A local company got the ball rolling with a $25,000 donation. Sadly, Stout didn’t live to see the happy ending of this story. After her death, donations poured into the MAW office even faster. On January 16, MAW announced that they had raised $1,116,000—enough to fulfill all 155 wishes.

Moving into the 35-square-meter apartment marks the couple’s choice for a more minimalist (极简的) lifestyle.

Many children’s books use animals as the main characters. Many people look after animals as pets. The love for animals may be why both children and adults (成年人) enjoy going to zoos. In the past, zoos were usually started by rich people. The first zoo was started by a queen in Egypt in 1500 BC． Raising animals was a way for people to show they were wealthy and powerful. Sadly, the animals in the early zoos were not treated well. They didn’t receive enough attention or care. Today, zoos still bring people pleasure, but they try to protect animals and teach people as well. Zoos must follow rules. People must provide animals with a clean place to live, food and water, and health care. In this way, the rules help protect the animals. Some people think the rules are not enough. They want to do more to protect the animals they love. For example, people disapproved of the use of some large animals in shows. They thought the zoos didn’t have enough space for the animals to show. They also thought the animals were not treated properly. With so many people against the shows, the zoos decided to make a change. People see animals in zoos. At the same time, they try to learn about and protect them. Both people and animals can get a lot from each other. 51．Who started the first zoo? A．A queen in Egypt. B．A king in Egypt. C．A queen in England.

That’s because there are lots of sculptures (雕像) of men, women and children about 8 metres underwater. In fact, there are more than 500 life-size sculptures. They are collections of M.U.S.A．(Museo Subacuático de Arte), an underwater museum and one of the largest art projects in the world. British artist Taylor created the museum. The sea near Cancun is one of the most visited bodies of water in the world. It welcomes over 750,000 visitors a year, which places huge pressure (压力) on the natural environment there. Taylor hopes to call for people to pay more attention to the environment, and he decided to do it through art. “It is named a museum for a simple reason. Every day we pollute (污染) and overfish our seas (保护) and education. They are places where we keep things that have great value to us,” Taylor said. Among the sculptures, about 90 were of people from the neighbouring fishing village of Puerto Morelos. It looks like they are protecting their sea. The sculptures cover an area of over 420 square metres. There used to be nothing on the seabed. However, today, the museum becomes a coral reef structure (珊瑚礁结构体) for sea lives to live in.
