九年级英语阅读理解测试题及答案
Passage 1
If you look at the
sky one night and see something
moving
and shining that you have never seen before, it
might
be a comet (
彗星
).
A comet
sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a
comet has no light of its own. It
shines from the sunlight it
reflects
(
反射
). Like the earth, a comet goes round
the sun,
but on
a much longer path (
If a
comet isn
轨道
)
than the earth travels.
’
t a sta
r, what
is it then?
Some scientists think that
a large part of a comet is
water frozen
into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock
dust and perhaps a few big pieces of
rock. When sunshine
melts (
融化
) the ice in the comet,
great clouds of gas go
trailing after
it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a
long tail.
Many people perhaps have seen a comet.
However no one
knows how many comets
there are. There may be millions of
comets, but only a few come close
enough for us to see.
An
Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from
1656
to 1742, found out a
lot about the paths that comets take
through the sky. Some comets move out
of our sight and never
come back.
Others keep coming back at regular times. A big
comet that keeps coming back was named
after Halley because
he was the one who
worked out when it would come back again.
Maybe you have ever seen Halley
’
s Comets because the last
time it came close to the sun and the
earth was in the year
1986. Then
people all over the world were outside at night to
look at it. You will probably be able
to see Halley
when it comes near the
earth again.
1.A comet is like
________.
A. sun B. moon C. sunlight D.
the earth
2.A large part of a comet is
______.
and rock
B. water
frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron

Passage 3
On November 18th, 1908, three men went
up in a balloon.
They started early in
London. The headman was Auguste Gaudron,
and the other two men were Tannar and
Maitland. They had a
big balloon, and they were
ready for a long way.
Soon they heard
the sea below them. They were
carrying
the usual rope , and it was hanging down from the
basket of the balloon. At the end of
the rope they had tied a
metal box.
This could hold water. Or it could be empty. So
they were able to change its weight.
They were also carrying
some bags of
sand.
After the sun rose,
the balloon went higher. It went up
to
3,000 meters, and the air was very cold. The water
