专题08 阅读理解 任务型阅读专练 2023—2024学年九年级英语上册期末考点大串讲 原卷版1．Harland Sanders was born in the USA in 1890，but his childhood was not a happy one. His father died when he was only six，so his mother needed to find a job.She went to Shirt factory and Harland stayed at home to look after his younger brother.That was when he first learned to cook.He left home when he was twelve and worked on a nearby farm.After that he had a lot of different jobs and in 1930 he became a service station manager in Corbin，Kentucky.He started cooking meals for hungry travelers who stopped at the service station，and soon people came only for the food.Harland moved to a 142﹣seat restaurant across the street where he could serve all his customers.Over the next nine years，he developed the secret chicken recipe（配方） that made him famous.In the early 1950s，he closed the restaurant and decided to sell his recipe to other businesses.The first official（正式的） Kentucky fried chicken（KFC）restaurant did not open until 1952.By 1964.there were more than 600 KFCs in North America.That year Sanders sold the company （公司） for 2 million dollars，but he continued to work as KFC' s public spokesman and visited restaurants all over the world.He travelled 250，000 miles every year until died in 1980 aged 90.Six years later，PepsiCo bought KFC for 480 million dollars.There are now KFC restaurants in more than 80 countries and they sell 2.5 billion chicken dinners every year and the recipe is still a secret.（1）What did Harland Sanders have to do when he was

different ideas.John：My school is far away from my home.I only go home on weekends.So my parents bought me a mobile phone to keep in touch （联系） with me.It's convenient.I don't need to look for IC phones any more.Mary：I think it's bad for us to use mobile phones in class.But after classes we can use them.We aren't kids any more，and we know when and where to use it，so teachers and parents should believe us and let us use mobile phones.Tony：I often send WeChat messages to my friends by mobile phone.It won't cost too much.It's a good way to talk with my friends when they are not with me.Andy：I think mobile phone is not only a tool for communication，but also a symbol of fashion.If you have no mobile phone，it means you are out of fashion.In other words，it's cool to have a mobile phone.Ted：We all know that it's convenient to have mobile phones.But many students often use them to play games or watch videos.It's bad for our study.I don't think it's necessary for students to have a mobile phone.（1）When does John go home？　   　（2）When does Mary think we can use mobile phones？　   　（3）What does Tony often do by using the mobile phone？　   　（4）What does Andy think of having a mobile

work part﹣time after school or on weekends，and during summer vacation you can work 40 hours each week．Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14，you can't earn（赚） your own money？Of course not!Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things．Valerie，11，told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards．Lena，13，makes money by knitting（织） dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors，and Riesa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people．People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them．Jasmine，13，writes articles for different magazines!Earning is learning．By working to earn your own money，you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life．These skills can include things like getting along with others，using technology and using your time．Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it；however，when you make your own money，you don't have to depend on someone else．The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for．1．Can kids have full﹣time jobs at the age of 17？　   　2．When can a 15﹣year﹣old kid work to earn money？　   　3．How does Riesa make money？　   　4．According to the passage，what skill can kids learn while earning money？　   　5．After reading the passage，will you be active in part﹣time jobs？　   　．4．Are you tired after studying hard？American country music will take you away for a while.The guitars and songs will take you to mountains and fields there.Country music talks about everyday life and feelings.It's the spirit of America，easy to understand，slow and basic.Country music developed in the Southern United States.It was the folk music of the American countryside.Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers.They talk about love，crops （庄稼） or death.Rural （乡村的） life can be hard，so the words are often sad.At first，people played the music only at family parties.But it became more popular.In the 1920s people played country songs on the radio，and they made them into records.When people moved to towns and cities to look for work，they took their music with them.Country music continued to change and became popular across America.John Denver was one of America's most famous country singers in the 1970s.His song Take Me Home，Country Road is well﹣known and people still play it today.（1）What does country music talk about？　   　（2）Where did country music develop？　   　（3）Why are the words often sad in country music？　   　（4）When were country songs made into records？　   　（5）Who wrote the song Take Me Home，Country Road？　   　5．Around the world，people have different ideas about what good manners are.When you go to restaurants in different parts of the world，it's important to know the right and wrong things to do.For example，in China it's OK to make a lot of noise in a restaurant.In fact，if a restaurant isn't noisy and lively，you may think there's something wrong with it.However，in many western countries，restaurants are quiet places.If a table is too loud，other people who are eating there might even complain to the owner of the restaurant.Paying the bill is also different from country to country. In China，one person usually pays for everybody. In western countries，one person pays if he or she is entertaining clients （宴请宾客），but when friends eat together，they usually share the cost.This is called "going Dutch （均摊费用）".Also，when westerners pay the bill，they usually leave some money for the waiter.This is called "leaving a tip".Leaving a tip is thought to be polite.In the US，it's common to leave tips of 10% ，15% or 20% of the bill，which is decided by how good the service （服务） is.Good waiters can make a lot of money!The way people eat food is different in the world，but you can find the same kinds of food in many countries.Chinese and Italian food，for example，are popular all over the world.（1）What is OK to do in a restaurant in China？　   　（2）Do people in western countries enjoy eating at loud tables？　   　（3）How do people in China usually pay the bill？　   　（4）What is thought to be polite for westerners？　   　（5）How many tips are common to leave in the US？
