阅读下面的四篇短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room. In one hand was a plastic phone, in the other a toy broom. I listened as she was speaking to her imaginary friend and I'll never forget the words she said, even though it was pretend(假装).

She said, "Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very good. She didn't listen to a word I said or do the things she should." In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink. It was obvious she'd been put there to sit alone and think.

My daughter continued her "conversation,"　 as I sat down on the floor. She said, "I'm all fed up, I just don't know what to do with her anymore. She cries whenever I have to work and wants to play games, too. She never lets me do the things that I just have to do.

She tries to help me with the dishes, but her arms just cannot reach and she doesn't know how to fold towels. I don't have the energy to teach. I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean. I don't have the time to sit and play. Don't you know what I mean?"

And that day I thought a lot about making some changes in my life, as I listened to her innocent(天真的) words that cut me like a knife. I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most dear.

But now my attitude has changed, because, in my heart, I realize I've seen the world in a different light through my little darling's eyes. So, let the cobwebs (蜘蛛网) have the corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor, I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them　 anymore .

I'm going to fill the house with memories of a child and her mother, for we have only one childhood, and we will never get another.

1. What was the little girl doing with her doll?

A. She was dressing up her doll.

B. She was playing the doll with her friend Suzie.

C. She was talking to her mother.

D. She was punishing her doll.

2.How did mother feel when she heard the “conversation”?

A. Worried.　　 　　　　　 B. Regretful.

C. Disappointed.　　　 　 D. Sad.

3.What can we learn from this passage?

A. The mother shouldn’t blame her daughter.

B. The mother should spend enough time with her daughter.

C. The mother shouldn’t carry responsibilities that many.

D. The mother should pay attention to her daughter’s words.

Mr White’s family decided to repair their home. Mr White bought the home two and a half years ago. Since the kids were growing up, he and his wife wanted to make some changes to the house.

They decided to knock down their living room wall to open up the space. When the wooden walls were removed, they were shocked to find a lizard stuck in the small space between the walls. The lizard’s foot was stuck(插入) by a nail, which was hammered(钉) from the other side of the wall.

Mrs White reminded him that they hammered a nail to hang up their kids photo. However, they questioned how the lizard had stayed alive so long without moving from that place. So Mr White stopped his work and watched the lizard: what has it been doing? What and how has it been eating? Later, he didn’t know from where another lizard appeared carrying food to the stuck lizard’s mouth. That was a real surprise! This act was heartwarming, and he was moved deeply by the little animal. The free lizard had been feeding the stuck one for more than two years! The lizard carried the hope of survival, even in a difficult situation.

Both lizards had never-ending hope for each other and carried their hearts with love and care. Such love, a beautiful love!

Listen to English radio.

One of the best ways to improve your English listening is to listen to English radio on your mobile phone.

九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Living next to next is the principle (原则) of a neighbor. Good neighborliness is the ideal to be aimed at. As the saying goes, no man is an island; he has to live with his neighbors. To make life easy and pleasant, he must cooperate with his neighbors.

Whether one likes it or not, one cannot do without neighbors. Normally one may think he can do without neighbors because he can manage all comforts and services, so the services or the need for a friend may not happen. However, the sympathy (同情), admiration and appreciation which a neighbor may offer will have a great humanizing influence. To share one’s view and sometimes even sadness, one needs some neighbors.

But all neighbors are not always keeping the friendly relationship. Stresses and tension (紧张) develop because of misunderstanding. Very often children may be the cause for tense feelings. The neighbor’s son may pick a flower or a fruit from your garden and an argument may follow. Again he may throw his ball at your window breaking it. These are common cases so far as the younger one is concerned but it is for the elders to view them with calmness and make up for it. This may read easy on paper but not so in real life. But being broad minded, one must be able to tolerate (容忍). Another reason for tension may be the animals. Your neighbor’s dog may be a real trouble or his chickens would come into your garden and eat away your plants.

In all these cases to keep up good neighborliness, some understanding between the neighbors is important. Small differences can be easily patched up or worked out. Try to be friendly and the problem will not be difficult to solve. Care can at times play a good part and help the neighbors in a small or big way. Nobody is perfect and it is better not to speak ill of your neighbors. A cheerful word, a nod or a small talk will strengthen the feeling of good neighborliness.

Neighborliness is not only for people but it is also largely important between neighboring countries. History has got a lot to teach on this. Unless countries learn to live as good neighbors, there cannot be peace on earth. So children must be taught at home and in the school to cooperate with the neighbors and be friendly with them. The basic rule is to give and take and to develop a sense that the other man has as much right as you do, and some degree of tolerance is very necessary.

1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A. One is often needed by his family.

B. No one likes to be alone on an island.

C. Everyone has to live with his neighbors.

D. Everyone lives an easy and pleasant life.

2.Which of the following may cause misunderstanding?

A. Hobbies and habits. 　 B. Children and pets.

C. Sports and games. 　　 D. Likes and dislikes.

3.What does the sentence “Small differences can be easily patched up or worked out.” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Praising others can help to be good neighbors.

B. Unimportant disagreement can be easily solved.

C. One can easily make good use of small arguments.

D. Nobody can be perfect enough to speak ill of others.

4.In the passage, the writer tries to ____.

A. show the important of getting on with neighbors

B. teach the basic rules of behaving well at home

C. explain the reasons of learning teamwork

D. introduce ways of being a better person
