上海市九年级英语阅读理解真题专练-4
一、阅读理解题
（2021·上海黄浦区·期中）There are more and more people who are cutting down the trees to get the woods and planting other trees that can be sold with much money. So the bare land (裸地) is washed away from flood and many places of forests are destroyed.
What can we do to protect our homeland and forests First, I think the government can publish some policies (政策) about protecting the forests and plant more different trees to keep ecology in balance (生态平衡). Secondly, as the masters (主人) of the country, we each play an important role in protecting homeland and forests. We shouldn't do anything harmful to the forests. We should also tell our family members, relatives and friends not to destroy forests. Of course, educating children is also a good way to hold the beauty of the homeland and forests.
Forests give us a lot of things we need such as fruit, rubber, nuts and so on. We can't live comfortably if there are no forests. Thus, let's take action together to protect the forests and we all believe our homeland will be more beautiful with our effort.
(1) Do more and more people plant trees which can be sold with much money
(2) What happens to the bared land and many places of forests
(3) What can the government do to keep ecology in balance
(4) How many ways are mentioned (提到) to protect our homeland and forests in this passage

（2021·上海黄浦区·期中） When you travel to foreign countries, you need to be very careful with the cultural differences. From greeting to eating, there can be many chances to make mistakes. They not only embarrass yourself, but also offend (冒犯) the locals. Look out for the following and try to avoid them.
★What is it: Remove your shoes…or not Where is it offensive: Hawaii, the South Pacific, Asia What is offensive: Take off your shoes when you arrive at the door of a London dinner party, and the hostess will find you impolite. But if you forget to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands, you'll be considered disrespectful. What to do: If you see many pairs of shoes at the door, take your shoes off. If not, keep them on.
★What is it: No touching Where is it offensive: Korea, Thailand, China What is offensive: Personal space varies from place to place. In Mediterranean (地中海) countries, if you don't greet people with kisses or big hugs, you'll be considered cold. But in countries like Korea and China, you'll make people uncomfortable if you touch them randomly. In Thailand, the head is seen as sacred, so never ever pat a child on the head. What to do: Observe how locals do and follow their behavior.
★What is it: No talking Where is it offensive: Japan, Finland, Europe, Africa What is offensive: When you're in Japan, don't start talking about your day's adventures while everyone else is eating, or you're likely to meet with silence.

（2020·上海奉贤区·期中） People always have different feelings. Among them is shyness. It means you feel frightened when you are around other people. Some children were born shy. Some become very shy later because of life experience. In fact, everyone gets a little shy sometimes. It depends on how shy you are. If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn't a big problem.
According to scientists, shyness generally begins during childhood. Most of time, shyness is caused by people's worry about what other people think of them, so shy people often find it very difficult to meet new people. This fear has bad effects (影响) on their work life, social life and love life. The following suggestions may be helpful for shy people.
Find ways to relax when you go out. When you are old enough, consider drinking a glass of wine before heading out for the night. Talk with your friends or family members to help yourself calm down.
Look best when you go out. Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Listen carefully when people speak. Shy people sometimes think that meeting new people means having to do a lot of talking. You can ask simple questions and then listen to the answers. People love to feel like other people are listening to them and sharing their point of view.
Build your confidence and change your attitude (态度) towards meeting new people instead of worrying about how they will think of you, and think about what are good points you hope to find in the new person you will meet.
Try these suggestions if you do feel very shy. Hopefully you can enjoy your life better.

(2) Is being shy always a big problem according to the passage
(3) When do scientists think shyness usually begins
(4) Who can help shy people calm down
(5) What will you do if your friend is a shy person Give at least two ways.
（2020·上海奉贤区·期中） Recently, Shanghai has worked with Alipay (支付宝) to set up a "green account (账户)" for its residents (居民). Account holders get points by correctly sorting (分类) their rubbish. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other things. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable (可回收的), harmful and dry.

▲ Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡).
▲ Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the "dry waste" bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.

（2020·上海奉贤区·期中末） Nightingales, a kind of birds are now in danger and may disappear from Britain if their habitats are not protected from developers.
A survey by the British Trust for ornithology (鸟类学) shows there are just 3,300 pairs of nightingales left in the whole country. The data also suggest the number of the birds in British dropped by 57 percent between 1995 and 2009.
Now, nature-lovers are calling for a recording of them to be broadcast live on BBC radio. There was a tradition set almost 90 years ago by the BBC—broadcasting the sound of a nightingale singing. The broadcast had been a tradition for 20 years before it was stopped by the war.
Conservationist (自然环境保护论者) Chris Rose said, "We believe it's time for the BBC to restart the tradition, to enrich our life and give its millions of listeners the chance to hear a real, live nightingale singing, if only once a year."
Anyone who has ever heard the song of a nightingale, knows what soul-penetrating (穿透灵魂的) power the voice of this bird is. Paul Stancliffe, from the British Trust for Ornithology said, "The song of the nightingale is the most beautiful of all British birds, but it is a song that is getting harder to hear with each passing year. We must do something to change the situation."

（2020·上海奉贤区·期中） FOMO posted 2 hours ago by Mr. Braddock, Sixth Grade teacher
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night's sleep every night. You aren't able to do your best and keep up with all of your responsibilities unless you sleep well. I'm sure you already know that you should go to bed at a reasonable hour. Most experts agree that the ideal number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will be affecting your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teachers' magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at appropriate times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon: FOMO—fear of missing out!
According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend (趋势) to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a reply or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this takes place when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report shows some worrying statistics that I'd like to share with you:
23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.
One in three students are tired all the time and unable to do the work to the best of their ability.
Students who use social media during the night are more likely to feel extremely sad and anxious.
So, I'd like to ask you to . The world won't end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important.
(1) This article was posted by a teacher, wasn't it
, .
(2) How much time should schoolchildren spend sleeping every night according to the article
.
(3) What does FOMO stand for
.
(4) Why do schoolchildren check up their social media in the middle of the night
Because .
(5) What two possible conclusions can we draw from the statistics
Conclusion 1: (no more than 10 words)
Conclusion 2: (no more than 10 words)
(6) In the last paragraph, what does the writer probably want to say to the readers
So, I'd like to ask you to .
（2020·上海奉贤区·期末）Allen's First Marathon (马拉松)
One of Allen's ankles was injured one month before his first time to compete in a marathon. This meant he could not run or train for two weeks. Yet, Allen made up his mind to go ahead.
Allen remembers back to his first year in the school. He was only seven at that time. In his first P.E. class, his teacher required them to run laps and then hit a ball. He didn't do either well. He was later told that he was "not athletic"—he had no talent in sports.
The idea that he was not athletic went with him for years. When he started running in his thirties, he realized running marathon was not about competition or whether he was physically strong and active. He thought that .
The night before his first marathon, he dreamed that he couldn't even find the finish line. He woke up sweating (冒汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to himself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, his shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So Allen stopped to tie them. Not the start he wanted!
At mile 3, Allen passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"
By mile 17, he became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. When he felt the pain. he tried to slow down and walked a bit and then ran again.
As Allen approached mile 25—near the finish line, he saw his wife waving a sign to encourage him. She is Allen's biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 5 a.m. or questioned his money on running.
Allen was one of the final runners to finish. But he finished! And he also got a medal. In fact, he got the same medal as the one that the man who got in first place.
Allen made up his mind to be himself and moved forward. He can now call himself a real winner.
(1) Allen was injured a month before his first marathon, wasn't he
(2) What was Allen's decision after he was injured
(3) When did Allen know he was not good at sports
(4) Who waved a sign to support Allen near the finish line
(5) How was Allen's first marathon

（2020·上海奉贤区·期中） People always have different feelings. Among them is shyness. It means you feel frightened when you are around other people. Some children were born shy. Some become very shy later because of life experience. In fact, everyone gets a little shy sometimes. It depends on how shy you are. If shyness doesn't stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn't a big problem.
According to scientists, shyness generally begins during childhood. Most of time, shyness is caused by people's worry about what other people think of them, so shy people often find it very difficult to meet new people. This fear has bad effects (影响) on their work life, social life and love life. The following suggestions may be helpful for shy people.
Find ways to relax when you go out. When you are old enough, consider drinking a glass of wine before heading out for the night. Talk with your friends or family members to help yourself calm down.
Look best when you go out. Wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Listen carefully when people speak. Shy people sometimes think that meeting new people means having to do a lot of talking. You can ask simple questions and then listen to the answers. People love to feel like other people are listening to them and sharing their point of view.
Build your confidence and change your attitude (态度) towards meeting new people instead of worrying about how they will think of you, and think about what are good points you hope to find in the new person you will meet.
Try these suggestions if you do feel very shy. Hopefully you can enjoy your life better.

（2020·上海奉贤区·期中） Recently, Shanghai has worked with Alipay (支付宝) to set up a "green account (账户)" for its residents (居民). Account holders get points by correctly sorting (分类) their rubbish. Through the Alipay app, they can exchange the points for milk, phone cards and other things. The city is asking all of its residents to sort their rubbish into four groups: wet, recyclable (可回收的), harmful and dry.
▲ Wet waste is also known as household waste. "They are things you don't want but that pigs can eat," Guangzhou Daily explained.
▲ Paper, metal (金属), glass and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.
▲ Harmful waste includes things like medicine, batteries and fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯泡).
▲ Finally, any waste that's not wet, recyclable or harmful will go in the "dry waste" bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish. For example, Shenzhen has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since 2012. Students there also receive waste-sorting guidebooks that they must study.

（2020·上海奉贤区·期中末） Nightingales, a kind of birds are now in danger and may disappear from Britain if their habitats are not protected from developers.
A survey by the British Trust for ornithology (鸟类学) shows there are just 3,300 pairs of nightingales left in the whole country. The data also suggest the number of the birds in British dropped by 57 percent between 1995 and 2009.
Now, nature-lovers are calling for a recording of them to be broadcast live on BBC radio. There was a tradition set almost 90 years ago by the BBC—broadcasting the sound of a nightingale singing. The broadcast had been a tradition for 20 years before it was stopped by the war.
Conservationist (自然环境保护论者) Chris Rose said, "We believe it's time for the BBC to restart the tradition, to enrich our life and give its millions of listeners the chance to hear a real, live nightingale singing, if only once a year."
Anyone who has ever heard the song of a nightingale, knows what soul-penetrating (穿透灵魂的) power the voice of this bird is. Paul Stancliffe, from the British Trust for Ornithology said, "The song of the nightingale is the most beautiful of all British birds, but it is a song that is getting harder to hear with each passing year. We must do something to change the situation."

（2020·上海奉贤区·期中） FOMO posted 2 hours ago by Mr. Braddock, Sixth Grade teacher
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night's sleep every night. You aren't able to do your best and keep up with all of your responsibilities unless you sleep well. I'm sure you already know that you should go to bed at a reasonable hour. Most experts agree that the ideal number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will be affecting your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teachers' magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at appropriate times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon: FOMO—fear of missing out!
According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend (趋势) to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a reply or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this takes place when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report shows some worrying statistics that I'd like to share with you:
23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.
One in three students are tired all the time and unable to do the work to the best of their ability.
Students who use social media during the night are more likely to feel extremely sad and anxious.
So, I'd like to ask you to . The world won't end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important.
(1) This article was posted by a teacher, wasn't it

(2) How much time should schoolchildren spend sleeping every night according to the article

（2020·上海奉贤区·期末）Allen's First Marathon (马拉松)
One of Allen's ankles was injured one month before his first time to compete in a marathon. This meant he could not run or train for two weeks. Yet, Allen made up his mind to go ahead.
Allen remembers back to his first year in the school. He was only seven at that time. In his first P.E. class, his teacher required them to run laps and then hit a ball. He didn't do either well. He was later told that he was "not athletic"—he had no talent in sports.
The idea that he was not athletic went with him for years. When he started running in his thirties, he realized running marathon was not about competition or whether he was physically strong and active. He thought that .
The night before his first marathon, he dreamed that he couldn't even find the finish line. He woke up sweating (冒汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to himself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, his shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So Allen stopped to tie them. Not the start he wanted!
At mile 3, Allen passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"
By mile 17, he became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. When he felt the pain. he tried to slow down and walked a bit and then ran again.
As Allen approached mile 25—near the finish line, he saw his wife waving a sign to encourage him. She is Allen's biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 5 a.m. or questioned his money on running.
Allen was one of the final runners to finish. But he finished! And he also got a medal. In fact, he got the same medal as the one that the man who got in first place.
Allen made up his mind to be himself and moved forward. He can now call himself a real winner.

(2) What was Allen's decision after he was injured
