一、九年级中考英语阅读理解（人生百味）（含答案详细解析） 1．阅读理解
As a young woman， my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.
Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn't like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely， although she didn't mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam， and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe（秘方） of making the strawberry jam to others.
When the strawberries were ripe， my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed， experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It's no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.
Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me， it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while， but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make you rich.

I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn't afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, \"You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?\" I did not know how to answer that question.

Sometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they don't act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV.

One day, my mother was sewing a quilt（被子）.\"Mom, I have a question to ask you.\" \"What?\" she replied, still doing her work. \"Is there love between you and Dad?\"
My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes. Then she said, \"Susan, look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. Love is inside.\"
I listened carefully but I couldn't understand until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously. After they were back from the hospital, my mother helped him walk slowly on the beautiful country road every morning. My father had never been so gentle. But after two months he still couldn't walk by himself. All of us were worried about him.\" Dad, how are you feeling now?\" I asked him one day. \"Susan, don't worry about me,\" he said gently. \"To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom. \"Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. But from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.

In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question可知，作者怀疑他的父母之间是否有爱存在，原因是他们不像电视里看到的那样浪漫，也从来不说“我爱你”，在情人节的时候也不送花。故A、B、C三项都包括。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据短文中I listened carefully but I couldn't understand until the next spring. At that time, my father suddenly got sick seriously.可知，作者听了妈妈的回答，并不明白妈妈是什么意思，直到第二年春天，他的父亲突然生病，妈妈的行为才让他明白了妈妈的话是什么意思。故选A。
（3）词义猜测题。根据上下文的意思和划线单词所在的句子可知，作者去问他妈妈问题的时候，他妈妈在做被子。quilt 是被子，所以B不对；又根据文中thread让被子更结实，故我们猜测它的意思应该是线。故选C。
（4）细节理解题。根据短文中“Susan, don't worry about me,”he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”可知，当作者问她的爸爸感觉如何的时候，她爸爸告诉她，他并不是不能走路，只是他喜欢和作者的妈妈一起散步。故选B。

Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly （蝴蝶）. The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis （蛹）. Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle （挣扎；奋斗） to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives. Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people
learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

10．阅读理解
There are many colours in nature. But do you think that colour has weight? I think you'll say \"No\". But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment（实验）.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes.
Then, rap（包裹） one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colours have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so. That is because every colour stands for（代表） a kind of light with a certain wavelength（波长）. It reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours-they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or
you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you 'like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture（家具） for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours, you'll fed you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'I1 feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise.
That means our body temperature will change with different colours. （1）From the experiment, we know that . A. the two boxes have the same weight B. colours can change the weight of an object C. the red paper is heavier than the white paper D. colours have different weights in people's mind
（2）From the fourth paragraph, we can infer（推断） A. the smell of colours is changeable（可变的） B. people can sense the light from colours C. people can smell the colors through the nose D. all the colours have the same smell for the blind （3）Which of the following is TRUE? A. White colour is heavier than red colour.
B. People may get ill if they refuse the colours they don't like. C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms. D. People's body temperature will change with different colours. （4）We can infer from the last paragraph that . A. red colour is bad for our health B. people may get nervous in a red room
C. blue colour can raise（提升） our body temperature D. colours can influence our mood（情绪） and health （5）The passage is probably .
A. a short novel B. a news report C. a science report D. an advertisement 【答案】 （1）D （2）B （3）D （4）D （5）C
