专题04 阅读理解（5选4） 主题01 人与自我——学习/语言 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南衡阳·期中）根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。 We all need English in our lives: to search on the Internet, to get a good job or to travel around the world. How do you learn English? 1 Here are some tips for you. ★ 2 When you meet new words, make funny example sentences with the words or draw little pictures next to them. It’s a good way to help you remember them. ★Put yourself in an English-speaking environment. However, that environment doesn’t have to be an English-speaking country. English is everywhere. It’s in online videos, news channels and on the radio. Keep your ears open and listen to real English. ★Be a parrot (鹦鹉). In a conversation, listen closely to how others pronounce certain words and do your best to copy them. You can do it by watching films at home. 3 If you already know the story of a movie, you’ll find its language much easier to understand. ★Speak a little English every day. The best and fastest way to learn any language is just to speak it. It doesn’t matter if you only know five English words. Don’t wait until you feel more comfortable to speak in English. 4 You’ll be surprised at how quickly it improves. At last, one thing you should remember: you must practise every day. You know, practice makes perfect. A．So, start speaking English today. B．Find fun ways to learn new words. C．Do you want to learn it in a better and faster way? D．It’s better to choose the films that you’ve watched. E．By studying yourself, you check your strengths (强项) and weaknesses. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语在生活中的重要性，并给出了几条实用的英语学习建议，包括趣味记单词、营造语言环境、模仿发音和坚持开口练习等方法。 【详解】1．空前问“How do you learn English?”（你如何学英语？），空后说“Here are some tips for you”（这里有一些建议给你）。C项“Do you want to learn it in a better and faster way?”（你想学得更好更快吗？）承上启下，自然引出下文的学习建议。 2．本段后文提到“When you meet new words, make funny example sentences...or draw little pictures”（遇到新单词时，造有趣的句子或画小图），这些都是学习单词的有趣方法。B项“Find fun ways to learn new words”（寻找有趣的方法学习新单词）概括了本段中心思想。 3．空前提到“watching films at home”（在家看电影），空后提到“If you already know the story of a movie”（如果你已经知道电影的故事）。D项“It’s better to choose the films that you’ve watched”（最好选择你看过的电影）与后文的“已知故事”逻辑一致。 4．本段建议每天说英语，空前说“Don’t wait...”（不要等待……），空后说“You’ll be surprised at how quickly it improves”（你会惊讶于进步之快）。A项“So, start speaking English today”（所以，今天就开始说英语吧）是对前文“不要等待”的顺势总结和行动号召。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南邵阳·期中）阅读下面的短文，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Many people think that English writing is difficult. Here are some great writing tips. They will help you improve your writing in a short time. Don’t ramble (长篇大论). This is a very common mistake made by people who have poor writing skills. When they ramble, they are not paying attention to grammar. As a result, their sentences become very long. 1 If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences. 2 Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is right before moving on. 3 If you don’t have a large vocabulary, you will find it difficult to write as you can’t find right words to express (表达) yourself clearly. The solution (解决办法) to this problem is to increase your vocabulary. You can do this by reading newspapers, borrowing books from the library or watching English programs. Don’t write when you are tired. 4 If you find yourself looking at the paper with nothing to write, don’t just sit there! Take a walk or a warm shower, or simply lie down to get some rest. A．Tiredness can lead to nothing to write. B．Make sure your sentences are right. C．Increase your vocabulary. D．The longer the sentences are, the more mistakes they’ll make. E．As a result, they may give up after trying hard for a while. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了提高英语写作能力的几条实用建议，包括避免长篇大论、确保句子正确、增加词汇量以及避免疲劳写作。 【详解】1．根据文章第2段“As a result, their sentences become very long.”以及后文“If you know you have poor grammar, use short sentences.”可知，此处应说明句子过长带来的负面影响，从而引出使用短句的建议。D项“The longer the sentences are, the more mistakes they’ll make.”（句子越长，他们犯的错误就越多）符合语境逻辑。 2．根据文章第2段后文“Think about each sentence carefully to make sure that it is right before moving on.”可知，本空应是一个概括性的祈使句，强调确保句子正确的重要性。B项“Make sure your sentences are right.”（确保你的句子是正确的）与后文内容一致。 3．根据文章第3段后文“If you don’t have a large vocabulary, you will find it difficult to write...”以及“The solution to this problem is to increase your vocabulary.”可知，本段主旨是关于词汇量的，空缺处应为段落的主题句。C项“Increase your vocabulary.”（增加你的词汇量）概括了本段大意。 4．根据文章第4段首句“Don’t write when you are tired.”以及后文“If you find yourself looking at the paper with nothing to write...”可知，此处应解释疲劳写作导致的后果，即写不出东西。A项“Tiredness can lead to nothing to write.”（疲劳会导致写不出东西）承上启下，符合语境。 Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·山东临沂·期中）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 In fact, a lot of languages can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun. Here are some suggestions. ★ 1 If you live in an area filled with English speakers, get students out of the classroom. Put them among other English speakers: Students may not speak to strangers, but they’ll hear conversations and may begin to understand how the words learned in the classroom are actually used in everyday life. ★Let their guard (警惕) down. One difficult thing for learners is that they don’t have confidence. Fun activities, especially those outside of the classroom, give students a chance to feel relaxed. 2 It may take a bit of time in the beginning, but once students get into it, they’ll start to get confidence. ★Make use of English media. Most recorded language instruction (指导) is pretty boring. 3 They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie. If they’re not sure about anything they hear, you can turn it into a new lesson in the classroom. ★Hear or use English in situations. Casual conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations. In different situations, they can talk about their favorite films, super stars and any successful or famous person freely. They will show interest in learning English if they use English to talk about anything they like. 4 Everyone can master new knowledge or skills better if he has fun learning. A．Communicate with strangers. B．You can let your students see a movie in English. C．Many learners are not interested in English at first. D．These activities help students speak more freely. E．Interest is the best teacher in life. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．E 【导语】本文主要给出了一些学习英语的建议。 1．根据“Students may not speak to strangers, but they’ll hear conversations and may begin to understand how the words learned in the classroom are actually used in everyday life.”可知，此处提到与陌生人交流的重要性，选项A“与陌生人交流。”符合语境。故选A。 2．根据“Fun activities, especially those outside of the classroom, give students a chance to feel relaxed.”可知，这些活动让学生更放松并更容易表达，选项D“这些活动帮助学生更自由地说话。”符合语境。故选D。 3．根据“They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.”可知，此处的这个建议是看英语电影，选项B“你可以让你的学生看英语电影。”符合语境。故选B。 4．根据“They will show interest in learning English if they use English to talk about anything they like.”可知，此处应该引出对学习的兴趣，最终强调兴趣，选项E“兴趣是人生最好的老师。”符合语境。故选E。 主题02 人与自我——方法与哲理 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南株洲·期中）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有一项为多余选项。 How to rule your time Time is a valuable thing. Sometimes we don’t think much about it, but often we feel like we don’t have enough time. Sometimes we hurry through our days, always trying to do more things in less time. 1 But in fact, there are real things we can do to feel better about time. Know how you use your time. Keep track of (记录) your time for one or two weeks to see where it goes. Many people find this a surprising thing to do. Once we know where our time goes, we can start to change things. 2 We all have the time we need—we just need to decide what’s the most important. We choose to spend our time on things that matter to us, but many of us do this without thinking. Sit down and write a list of the most important things you want to spend time on in your life. This will help you make choices later. Make changes and set limits (限制). Once we know how we spend our time and what we want to spend time on, we can start to make changes and set limits. This means stopping doing things that aren’t very important and making time for things that are. 3 Learn to enjoy the present moment and be thankful. One of the best ways to have a healthy relationship with time is to learn to enjoy the present moment. 4 For example, enjoy a pretty sunset or have a good talk with friends. It also means taking time for yourself to do things you like, such as reading, listening to music, or being outside. Every hour we’re alive is a present. A．Be clear about what you value and what matters most. B．This means taking time to enjoy the small things in life. C．It can also mean saying no when you’re already too busy. D．It is important to know how you spend your time. E．Sometimes we waste time doing things like looking at our phones. 【答案】1．E 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何管理自己的时间，包括了解时间的使用情况、明确自己的价值观和优先级、做出改变和设定限制以及学会享受当下并心怀感激。 【详解】1．根据空前“Sometimes we hurry through our days, always trying to do more things in less time.”可知，有时我们匆匆忙忙地度过日子，总是试图在更少的时间内做更多的事情，这是浪费时间的一种表现，E选项“有时我们把时间浪费在看手机之类的事情上”符合语境，进一步说明了浪费时间的行为。故选E。 2．根据下文“We all have the time we need—we just need to decide what’s the most important. We choose to spend our time on things that matter to us, but many of us do this without thinking. Sit down and write a list of the most important things you want to spend time on in your life.”可知，本段主要讲述了要明确自己的价值观和优先级，知道什么对自己最重要，A选项“要清楚自己看重什么，什么最重要”符合语境，可以作为本段的小标题。故选A。 3．根据上文“Once we know how we spend our time and what we want to spend time on, we can start to make changes and set limits. This means stopping doing things that aren’t very important and making time for things that are.”可知，一旦我们知道了如何利用时间和想在什么方面花时间，就可以开始做出改变和设定限制了，这意味着停止做不太重要的事情，为重要的事情腾出时间，C选项“这也意味着当你已经太忙的时候说‘不’”符合语境，进一步说明了设定限制的一种情况。故选C。 4．根据上文“One of the best ways to have a healthy relationship with time is to learn to enjoy the present moment.”以及下文“For example, enjoy a pretty sunset or have a good talk with friends.”可知，本段主要讲述了学会享受当下，B选项“这意味着花时间享受生活中的小事”符合语境，起到了承上启下的作用，既承接了上文的享受当下，又引出了下文的享受美丽的日落或与朋友畅谈等小事。故选B。 Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·湖南郴州·期中）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中选项中有一项是多余的。 We all need help from time to time, and sometimes a complete stranger can best provide the help we need.

Do you know about the traditional tea processing techniques and associated social practices in China? 1 Knowledge, skills and practices on how to plant tea, pick tea leaves, process tea by hand, and drink and share tea are all in them. These traditional techniques cannot be seen everywhere in China. They are mainly found in provinces such as Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian and Hunan. Associated social practices, however, are spread around the country and are shared by many ethnic (民族的) groups. Tea producers in China have developed six kinds of teas. 2 Together with reprocessed (再加工的) teas, such as flower-scented teas, there are over 2,000 tea products in China.

In the past couple of years, an online teaching video of Baduanjin, a form of Qigong, has been played for more than 10 million times. “I have been doing Baduanjin for about four months. 1 I like Baduanjin very much because it gives me a much healthier lifestyle,” a young man commented (评论). Baduanjin is one of the oldest health and fitness methods in China, originally created over 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. Its name is made up of two parts, namely “baduan” and “jin”. 2 And the second part refers to the stretch (舒展) and grace of the movements. Compared to sports such as ball games or swimming, Baduanjin is slow and usually played with relaxing music, so it used to be considered as a sport for the elders. 3 It helps kill their neck and back pain after long working hours while not requiring much effort, time and space. Sun Yuxuan, a college student majoring in martial arts, has also noticed the rising popularity of Baduanjin. The 21-year-old girl has been teaching other students to practice for over three years. They started with 20 members in 2019 and the group has 45 members now. “I didn’t expect that it could attract so many young people. I guess that’s because they receive real benefits from the sport. 4 ” she said. A．It helps me sleep better and get stronger. B．Every member in the group is very active. C．The first part refers to eight separate movements. D．Baduanjin has been spread worldwide by young Chinese people. E．Gradually, however, many young people have realized the advantages of the sport. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．E 4．B 【导语】本文介绍了八段锦在年轻人中流行的现象，解释了其历史渊源和受年轻人欢迎的原因。 【详解】1．上文提到一位年轻人练习八段锦约四个月，下文说他喜欢八段锦因为它给了他更健康的生活方式。A项“It helps me sleep better and get stronger.”补充了八段锦带来的具体好处，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 2．上文提到八段锦的名字由“八段”和“锦”两部分组成，下文说第二部分指动作的舒展和优美。C项“The first part refers to eight separate movements.”解释了“八段”的含义，与上下文衔接，符合逻辑。 3．上文提到八段锦过去被认为是老年人的运动，下文说它有助于消除长时间工作后的颈背疼痛，且不需要太多精力、时间和空间。E项“Gradually, however, many young people have realized the advantages of the sport.”作为段首，引出年轻人开始意识到这项运动的好处，承上启下，符合逻辑。 4．上文提到孙宇轩说没想到八段锦能吸引这么多年轻人，她猜测是因为他们获得了真正的好处。B项“Every member in the group is very active.”作为文章结尾，补充说明小组成员的积极性，与上文孙宇轩的表述衔接，符合逻辑。 主题04 人与社会——人际关系 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南常德·期中）阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Does it seem that the things you say often cause offense (冒犯)? If so, maybe people think that your English isn’t polite.   1 ! ◆ “I’m afraid I can’t” VS “NO.” It can be difficult to refuse an invitation from a friend. Simply saying “No.” would sound impolite. The next time you have to refuse an invitation,you can say, “I’m afraid I can’t.” ◆ 2 If someone does something you don’t like, would you like him to stop? To get the good result, instead of shouting “Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!”, ask him politely by saying “Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?” ◆ “Can you pass me...?” VS “Give me...” 3 , so it’s sometimes difficult to get what you want without causing frustration (懊恼). Change words that sound like commands (命令), such as “Give me the newspaper.” with a request like “Can you pass me the newspaper?” ◆ “Could you give me five minutes?” VS “Go away.” You’re really busy at work, but your co-worker needs your help. 4 , just saying “Go away.” is certainly not proper. Instead, keep everyone happy by using the words “Could you give me five minutes?” A．“Would you mind...?” VS “Stop it!” B．People don’t like being told what to do C．“Could you spare me...?” VS “Don’t do it!” D．Learn how to be polite with this great guide E．When you’re busy and can’t do anything else 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．E 【导语】本文通过对比直接生硬的表达与礼貌委婉的说法，指导读者如何在英语交流中更得体、更礼貌地表达拒绝、请求或提醒。 【详解】1．根据前文“Does it seem that the things you say often cause offense? If so, maybe people think that your English isn’t polite.”可推知，此处应引出本文主旨：学习礼貌表达的方法。选项D“通过这份实用指南学习如何礼貌表达”总领全文，与上下文衔接自然。故选D。 2．根据“…instead of shouting ‘Stop talking on your phone in the cinema!’, ask him politely by saying ‘Would you mind not using your phone in the cinema, please?’ ”可推知，此处通过对比直接命令“Stop...”与礼貌表达“Would you mind...?”来说明如何礼貌地提出要求。选项A“ ‘请问您介意……吗？’对比‘别这样！’ ”准确概括了这一对比。故选A。 3．根据“...so it’s sometimes difficult to get what you want without causing frustration.”可推知，前半句应解释原因：人们不喜欢被命令。选项B“人们不喜欢被指挥做事”符合语境。故选B。 4．根据“You’re really busy at work, but your co-worker needs your help.”及后文“...just saying ‘Go away.’ is certainly not proper.”可推知，此处应描述“当你很忙、无法立即帮忙”的场景。选项E“当你很忙、无法处理其他事情时”符合语境。故选E。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·湖南永州·期中）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Having friends at school is a great way to lower the pressure you face every day. The best way to meet new friends is quite simple: All you have to do is to talk to them.

Just by saying this one word, you’ll soon find yourself making fun memories of your time at high school with your brand-new group of friends.

Kids can feel anxious (焦虑的) about math when they are taking a math class or working on a math problem. A little stress is good for kids and can help them do better. 1 It is more serious and can even cause kids to lose interest in learning. This fear of math is common. Researchers believe about 3 to 5 percent of kids experience math anxiety. 2 Some may worry they’ll do poorly in a math test, even though they have put in great efforts and could understand the material. Some may try to avoid a math class that includes a difficult test. Some get good grades in their daily math homework, but not in tests. We don’t exactly know what causes math anxiety. Having just one bad experience with math doesn’t cause it necessarily. We can’t make sure that tests are certain to cause math anxiety, either. 3 How can we help kids cut down on math anxiety? Understanding basic math concepts (概念) works. And it’s important for kids to believe in their abilities to do basic math problems. 4 When kids are feeling math anxiety, an encouraging word from parents or teachers will also help them out.

Its name is made up of two parts, namely “baduan” and “jin”. 2 And the second part refers to the stretch (舒展) and grace of the movements. Compared to sports such as ball games or swimming, Baduanjin is slow and usually played with relaxing music, so it used to be considered as a sport for the elders. 3 It helps kill their neck and back pain after long working hours while not requiring much effort, time and space. Sun Yuxuan, a college student majoring in martial arts, has also noticed the rising popularity of Baduanjin. The 21-year-old girl has been teaching other students to practice for over three years. They started with 20 members in 2019 and the group has 45 members now. “I didn’t expect that it could attract so many young people. I guess that’s because they receive real benefits from the sport. 4 ” she said. A．It helps me sleep better and get stronger. B．Every member in the group is very active. C．The first part refers to eight separate movements. D．Baduanjin has been spread worldwide by young Chinese people. E．Gradually, however, many young people have realized the advantages of the sport. 主题04 人与社会——人际关系 Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·湖南常德·期中）阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Does it seem that the things you say often cause offense (冒犯)?

The next time you have to refuse an invitation,you can say, “I’m afraid I can’t.” ◆ 2 If someone does something you don’t like, would you like him to stop?
