　　1.C 由首句的1908年可知A项有误。另外，这三个人打算从伦敦出发乘气球作长距离旅行，由于天气状况不好，只好在波兰(Poland)着陆。行程达1,797公里，将近1,800公里。

　　2.A 根据“This could hold water. Or it could be empty. So they were able to change its weight.”可知，金属盒里盛的水是并非是饮用水，而是用来改变气球重量的。文中还说他们同时也带了几袋沙子来调节气球的重量。

　　3.B 根据“It went up to 3,000 meters, and the air was very cold.”或地理常识可断定B为最佳答案。

　　4.A 如果气球降落在湖上或海上，那将是很危险的，联系“They came down in Poland heavily but safely”，可知A是最佳答案。

　　5.D 答案源自最后一段中的“They were so cold that they decided to land.”一句。

　　阅读下面短文，把A—E五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整正确。

　　In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. (1)____

　　A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. (2)____ He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.

　　(3)____ We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth.If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 2,800tons of paper. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day.

　　Since it takes more than 10years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.

　　(4)____ We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕)and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.

　　(5)____ If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.

　　A. Now paper still comes from trees.　B. Everyone can help to save paper.

　　C. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.

　　D. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper.

　　E. So how can we save paper?

　　九年级英语阅读理解习题答案

　　4.E 第一张纸的两面都要使用，这显然是谈节约用纸的方法。故答案为E。

　　5.B 由上面一段说的意思，再联系下面的几句话，即可得出答案。
