Many young people all over the world love to travel and see the world. Have you heard of backpackers? They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one rucksack(背包) and comfortable walking boots. They buy local food in supermarkets to save money and at the same time become friends with local people.

Some people prefer adventure tours. Brave people may try bungee jumping from the bridge overlooking the Victoria Falls in Africa with only a rope around their legs. Some enjoy the challenge of rock climbing in the Alps in Switzerland. Others may go snowboarding in the Rocky

Mountains in the USA.

The boat companies also work to educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful creatures.

Helen from England: I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel which could cause pollution and make the sea less clean.

Well, what do you think? Thousands of people visit the Forbidden City or the Great Wall China every year. Do you think that's a good thing, or do you feel that China's important historical sites can be damaged? Are there any ways of sharing your treasures but keeping them in good condition?

九年级英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Venice is an attractive city in Italy. Tourists throughout the world love traveling to Venice. But sometimes you’ll have such strange experiences. One moment you walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. Unfortunately, when you come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone’s wearing rain boots.

That’s just the way it has always been, which may be considered seriously by Italian government. Before the sea comes to Venice, the government has decided to build the MOSE gates. Actually(实际上), there were many kinds of gates that were built to stop the floods, but all the gates were just built on the ground. Besides, the flooding was becoming worse. Industrial(工业的)factories built nearby on the mainland also made the condition get worse, causing the city to sink about 0.75 feet in the 20th century.

So the Italian government asked some of Italy’s biggest construction and engineering companies to build the MOST project, which was planned to be built under the sea water to stop floods. Now the government are using 3 000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion euros(欧元) on it. The MOSE gates are being built at the inlets(海湾).Each MOST gate is 197 feet long ,28.5 to 37 feel tall, and weight up to 22 tons. It’s nearly the size of a 20-story building. Before the gates are in use, under the sea full of water. When the flood comes, the water in the gates will be poured out, and then the gates will be filled with air. So the gates can go up with the sea water. Once they’re in the right place, they will stop the sea water pouring into Venice. These gates will be able to deal with floods up to 10feet,and as long as the sea level(平面)rises no more than two feet in the next 100 years, the MOSE will work as expected.

The MOSE project is now two-thirds done. The head engineer, Giovanni Cecconi, said, “This is a war. During the war, it’s not important that you win. It’s important that you’re alive. We’ve alive.” Anyway, this project is saving Venice from falling.

根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

1.The underlined word “construction” in the passage means “_______”in Chinese.

A.建筑  B. 农业  C. 交通

2.Before building the MOSE gates, the Italian government _______ to stop the floods.

A. never built gates on the ground

B. built many kinds of gates on the ground

C. built some gates which were under the ground

3.When the flood comes, _______ can describe the working steps of the MOSE gates.

4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Italian government ate using 3000 people and expect to spend nearly five billion dollars on the MOSE.

B. The MOSE project is half done now.

C. Each MOSE gate is 197 feet long, 28.5 to 37 feet tall, and weighs up to 22 tons.

5.The best title for this passage should be _______.

A. The Journey to Venice

B. The MOSE Project in Venice

C. Several Kinds of Floods in Venice

In the future, more and more people will move to big cities. To prepare for this, cities are becoming smarter and more efficient, with the help of big data.

Local governments are already collecting lots of important data. For example, there are sensors（感测器）that measure noise, pollution and traffic. This is known as "smart city technology". In the future, this data will make our lives much easier, by helping us save energy and keep the city tidy. There might even be smart posts that cull clean the air, or robots that empty rubbish bins when they are full.

Such technologies may be far off in the future, but others are just around the corner: self-driving cars are today being tested all around the world. Experts believe that this technology will change what cities look like. If self-driving taxis can use smart city data to find the best way to take you to your destination（目的地), there will be fewer traffic jams and more space for you to walk or ride a bike. People will probably stop buying cars altogether.

　　 ▲　　 : drones（无人机）are becoming more and more common nowadays. Cheap and fast

drone delivery services are only a few years away, and the sky above our heads will soon be very crowded. Hopefully, smart city technology will help prevent traffic jams in the air. Perhaps, drones will one day be able to transport people around town. Then, you could fly wherever you want to go!

To summarize, the cities of the future will be very different. What kind of city would you like to live in when you grow up?

1.Why are the sensors mentioned in the second paragraph?

A.To show that cities are becoming much smarter.

B.To explain why there are more people in big cities.

C.To help people in cities live a more exciting life.

D.To invent some new ways of keeping the city tidy.

2.What is a good result of using self-driving technology?

A.There will be fewer cars in the future.

B.Few people will ride a bike around.

C.People will have better driving skills.

D.All the car factories will go out of business.

3.Which can be put in 　 ▲　 ?

A.But there will be traffic jams in the air

B.New technology will appear in the future

C.Change is not only happening on the ground

D.Technology will surely play a part in our future life

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A.Transportation in the Future. B.Important Data in Cities.

C.Smart City Technology. D.The Cities of the Future.

You don’t need to get in a time-travelling machine to see how technology will change our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already appear. Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.

Try it on, virtually（虚拟地）. Want to shop online for a new pair of glasses? You don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of glasses you’re checking out on a picture of your face. But what about buying something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect’s action tracking（跟踪）camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body. You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to improve your shopping experience.

Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone’s body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some companies scan（扫描）your body using High-tech to get the real sizes, so they can make special clothes just for you.

High-tech shopping carts（推车）and checkout counters（收银台）. High-tech shopping carts could be common in malls and supermarkets in the future. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are under test. The cart can follow you along the aisles（通道）, controlled only by your movement and your voice.

In the United States, several supermarkets use a certain set called “Scan It” that gives buyers the freedom to scan products on their own while they shop. If we don’t want to wait in line before the checkout counters, we can use Toshiba’s new object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies（辨认）a product as soon as it’s placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.

1.According to Paragraph 2, the eBay Fashion iPhone app can ______.

A. only make pictures of our faces　　 B. help us sell more clothes online

C. create us a virtual dressing room　　 D. choose suitable glasses for us

2.Which of the following can help get the correct shape of our body?

C. 3D scanning technology.　　 D. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts.

3.What can we infer from this passage?

A. Checkout counters will disappear from supermarkets in future.

B. High-tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets

C. “Scan It” cannot be used by buyers themselves.

D. The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true.
