On TV she needs the help of a matchmaker to find love in the new Hallmark Channel romance As Luck Would Have It. She opens up about raising strong girls, how her parents’ recent deaths affected her and which roles fans recognize her for the most.You haven’t needed a matchmaker--but if life had turned out differently, would you use one?I would totally have been game for it. I was set up by a friend of ours to meet my husband, but I think it sounds so fun.You star opposite Allen Leech--were you a Downton Abbey fan?I’m a huge Downton fan, but I know Allen personall y very well. He happened to marry my best friend’s little sister. His mom actually cooked me dinner a couple of times while I was shooting!You’ve been on TV since you were a teen.

So I only hope that I’m modeling that same stre ngth for my girls.1. How does the text develop?A. By questions and answers.B. By listing examples.C. By narrating life stories.D. By comparison and contrast.2. What does Joanna Garcia Swisher think of a matchmaker in marriage?A. It’s strange.B. It’s acceptable.C. It’s terrible.D. It’s necessary.3. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph imply?A. Joanna was just playing on words.B. Joanna missed her parents much.C.

Strong and easy-going.D. Negative and sensitive(B)Rats and other animals need to be highly tuned to social signals from others sothey can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to non-living beings, Loleh Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleagues tested whether rats can detect social signals from robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat – one social and one asocial (不爱社交的)–for 5 days. The robotic rat resembled a bigger version of a computer mouse with wheels to move around and colorful markings.During the experiment, the social robotic rat followed the living rats around, played with the same toys, and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape. Meanwhile, the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwards and side to side.Next, the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to release them by pressing a button. Across 18 trials each, the living rats were 52 percent more likely on average to set the social robot free than the asocial one. This suggests that the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being. They may have bonded more with the social robot, because it displayed behaviours like communal (共同的) exploring and playing. “This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped,” says Quinn.The readiness of the rats to befriend the social robot was surprising given its plain design. The finding shows how sensitive rats are to social signals, even when they come from basic robots. Similarly, children tend to treat robots as if they are fellow beings, even when they display simple social signals. “We humans seem to be fascinated by robots, and it turns out other animals are too,” says Wiles.1.Quinn and her colleagues conducted a test to see if rats can .A.pick up social signals from non-living ratsB.distinguish friends from enemiesC.learn sociable skills through trainingD.send out warning messages to their fellows2. What did the social robot do during the experiment?A. It followed the asocial robot.B. It made friends with toys.C. It set the trapped rats free.D. It moved around alone.3 Why did the rats release the social robot according to Quinn?A.They tried to practice a means of escape.B.They expected it to do the same in return.C.They wanted to display their intelligence.D.They considered it an interesting game.4.What can we learn from the text?A.Rats are highly adaptable to new surroundings.B.Rats are more socially active than other animals.C.Rats behave differently from children in socializing.D.Rats are more sensitive to social signals than expected.(C)About seven years ago, Kristin and Josh Mohagen were honeymooning in Napa Valley in California, when they smelled something surprising in their glasses of wine；green pepper. It was explained that the grapes in that bottle had ripened on ahillside alongside a field of green peppers. "That was my first experience with terroir , " Josh Mohagen says.It made an impression. Inspired by their time in Napa, the Mohagens returned home and launched a chocolate business based on the principle of terroir , often defined as "sense of place”.The definition of terroir is somewhat fluid. Wine enthusiasts use the French term to describe the environmental conditions in which a grape is grown that give a wine its unique taste and smell. The soil, climate and even the orientation（朝向）of a hillside or the company of neighboring plants, and insects play a role. Some experts expand terroir to include specific cultural practices for growing and processing grapes that could also influence taste.The idea of terroir is quite old. In the Middle Ages, the wine-makers in Burgundy, France, divided the countryside into different climate areas, according to differences in the landscape that seemed to translate into unique wine characteristics. Wines produced around the village of Gearey-Chamber tin, for example, “are famous for being fuller-bodied, powerful arid more tannic than most," says Joe Quinn, wine director of The Red Hen, a restaurant in Washington, D. C. "In contrast, the wines from the village of Chambolle- Musigny, just a few miles south, are widely considered to be more fine, delicate and light- bodied.”A recent wave of scientific research suggests that the environment and production practices can, in fact, produce a chemical or microbial （微生物的）signature so distinctive that scientists can use the signature to trace food back to itsorigin. And in some cases, these techniques are beginning to offer clues on how terroir can shape the smell and taste of food and drinks.1. What impressed the Mohagens most during their stay in Napa?A. The smell from the wine.B. The field of green peppers.C. The scenery of Napa Valley.D. The ripe grapes on a hillside.2 What does the underline d word “fluid" in Paragraph3 probably mean?A. Impractical.B. Specific.C. Uncertain.D. Conventional.3. Why did the author quote a wine director in Paragraph 4?A. To demonstrate the effect of terroir.B. To introduce two types of grape wine.C. To prove the long history of terroir.D. To get a restaurant known to the public.4. What can be learned about terroir from the text?A. Its research is of little benefit.B. It gives food its unique features.C. Its value needs to be further tested.D. It is a newly-acknowledged concept.(D)Accompanied by her father, using a combination of aid and free climbing and taking advantage of some special equipment and ropes for protection, 10-year-oldSelah made it to the top of El Capitan on June 12 after five days of big wall climbing.Climbing the challenging and adventurous Nose route of El Capitan was a labor of love for Selah in more than one way. Her parents , Mike and Joy Schneiter, fell in love on this 3,000- plus-foot huge rock and she has always wanted to feel the way that her parents felt when they were up there together. Selah showed great interest in rock climbing at an early age. She wore her first rock-climbing equipment shortly after she learned to walk. She first dreamed of climbing El Capitan when she was 6 or 7.El Capitan is a famous mountain-sized rock in Yosemite National Park. Getting to its top is no easy task. It's taller, as reported, than the tallest building in the world-Dubai’s Buri Khalifa. El Capitan and its difficult Nose route, which runs more than 3,000 feet high up the center of the rock's face, is considered one of the world's hardest big wall climbs and has attracted the best climbers over time. But never before had a youngster accomplished it.Selah's achievement caught national attention. Outside Magazine called her the youngest documented person to climb the Nose. Ken Yager, president of the Yosemite Climbing Association, said he also couldn't think of anyone younger who has done it.Selah is humble about her El Capitan accomplishment. "I'm not necessarily a special kid or anything like that, she said. "There were a few times when I would be so worn that it would kind of discourage me from holding on. But overall, it was just great to keep plugging away.”Selah shared this advice for other young climbers dreaming of big walls, "It doesn't take necessarily a super special person to do something like that. You just haveto put your mind to it.”1. What do we learn about Selah climbing El Capitan?A. She began her climbing on June 5.B. She got inspired by her family history.C. She managed without any external help.D. She was the first female to reach the top.2. What is the purpose of paragraph 3?A. To state El Capitan's height.B. To prove El Capitan's popularity.C.

After a rain shower had passed, he noticed something landed on the sill (窗台) outside his window—a cold and wet pigeon. The animal was trembling and soak ed; it clearly didn’t have the chance toseek shelter before the rain began. Feeling for the poor pigeon, Yılmaz thought of a way to dry him off.Rather than pick him up and take him inside to warm up, Yılmaz plugged in a hairdryer and used it to dry off the bird. Little did he know that his neighbor captured the whole moment on video. In the video, Yılmaz can be seen leaning out of his window. He was stretching his arm as far as he can so the hot air can reach the pigeon. The bird willingly let the man warm him up, crouching (蹲伏) to let his outer feathers dry.Yılmaz told the media that he spent about fifteen minutes drying off the bird. He said he had just opened his window when he saw the pigeon around the corner of the sill. He described it as wet and “about to freeze” from the cold and rainy weath er.After fifteen minutes, Yılmaz gave the pigeon birdseed, which he ate happily. However, the bird remained wet still. “I saw that it was still there so I warmed it up again, after the pigeon recovered again, and after eating a good amount of seed, it fle w away,” Yılmaz recalled.He also didn’t know that he was being recorded at the time and that the video was shar ed online. He simply did it out of the kindness of his heart. “The pigeon is a living creature and deserved to continue living, that is why I di d it,” he said.1. What is the text mainly about?A. An online video about a pigeon became a hit.B. A man warmed up a wet and cold pigeon.C. A man invented a creative way to help birds.D. A man lives in harmony with a pigeon.2. What was the bird’s reaction to Sabahattin Yılmaz’s behavior?A. It was scared and flew away.B. It was annoyed and refused his help.C. It was ready to accept his assistance.D.

Patient and ambitious.C. Talented but careless.D. Sympathetic and warm-hearte（F)Today, we study literature from a young age―l earning about our histories, faraway worlds and influential people. Whether we notice or not, these stories―both fiction and non-fiction― guide us throughout our lives. They allow us to see the world through another’s eyes, open up our world and teach us about every subject known to man.Despite their importance, many people throw out their old books―wasting the wisdom that lies on each page. In an effort to save this knowledge and share it withthose less fortunate, a garbage man in Bogota, Colombia has been saving thrown-away books for 20 years and sharing them with those in need.“I hated to see all the books in the dustbins of wealthier neighborhoods. So I started to rescue them,”said Gutierrez. The first book he found was a copy of the classic novel Anna Karenina. The Tolstoy book was later joined by The Little Prince, Sophie’s World, The Iliad and a number of novels. Today, he has collected around 25,000 books.His growing collection didn’t go unnoticed. Gutierrez’s neighbors were soon borrowing the books to help with their children’s homework. “There was a lack of them in our neighborhood, so we started to help,” said Gutierrez.The ground floor of Gutierrez’s home is now flooded with books, from floor to ceiling. Over spilling with books, he opened it up as a free library, with the help of his wife Luz Gutierrez and their three children.Word ultimately spread around about Gutierrez and his books. Most of the books now come from donations. He now travels around the country, delivering free books to poor and remote districts. The library, named “The Strength of Words”, has donated books to some 235 schools, institutions and community libraries across Colombia.1. How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A. By stating some facts.B. By putting forward a theory.C. By describing a scene.D. By referring to documents.2. What did the Tolstoy book mean to Gutierrez?A. A heavy financial burden.B. A companion in difficult times.C. The beginning of his charity campaign.D. One of his greatest achievements in life.3. Which saying does Gutierrez’s story lead us to believe?A. A good book is a light to the soul.B. A bad beginning makes a bad ending.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. One man’s garbage is another man’s treasure.4. What’s the best title for the text?A. Tolstoy books recovered from dustbins.B. Literature now appeals to garbage collectors.C. Free libraries popular with neighborhood kids.D. Garbage man builds a library from rescued books. 参考答案：A：ABDCB：ACBDC：ACABD：BDABE：BCCDF：ACDD。

(2023山东淄博一模) My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it.By chance,a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world. We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world,but we tried our luck,sent a request,and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada,so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.

专题05 阅读理解之记叙文（2023·江苏淮安·校考一模）Every boy wants to find treasure. And Tom was no different. One summer day Tom told Huck about his idea.“Where can we look for treasure?” asked Huck.“It’s hidden on islands, under dead trees, but mostly under the floors in haunted(闹鬼的) houses.”“Who hides it?”“Robbers(劫匪). You can find a box with a hundred dollars in it, or a chest full of diamonds(钻石).”So, on Saturday afternoon the boys went to look for treasure at the haunted house on Cardiff Hill. It was a quiet and lonely place. And the boys looked at each other in fear. They entered quietly, and explored downstairs. There were cobwebs(蜘蛛网) everywhere and everything was old and broken. Then they threw their tools in a corner and walked upstairs, but there was nothing there. They were just about to go downstairs and start digging when Tom stopped.“What is it?” whispered Huck, going white with fear.“Keep still! There’s someone downstairs!”The boys lay down, looking through the holes in the wooden floor. There were two men downstairs. One was an old Spaniard(西班牙人) in a wide hat. The other was dirty and unpleasant-looking. The boys shook with fear.Then the Spaniard spoke. It was Indian Joe. Tom and Huck felt even more frightened.The men sat down on the floor and ate. They then lay down and fell asleep. When the two men woke up, the stranger said, “It’s time for us to move, partner. What will we do with the $650 from the robbery?”“Let’s keep $30 each and leave the rest here.”The dirty man went to the fireplace(壁炉) and moved a stone.

I disliked memorizing formulas (公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was “slow”. But my problem wasn’t with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My goal was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school.The chances of that happening were very low. But that didn’t stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship.I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are influenced by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also react to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers and they try to achieve a sense of purpose. They get advantages from detailed and exact instructions and constant feedback (反馈).Until I got to college, I didn’t really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious (耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I should think about a particular problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was attractive. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept chasing them, even though I couldn’t always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me the same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph.D candidate (候选人) in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.6．Why did the writer think math class in school was “something to be endured” before entering college? A．Because he wasn’t interested in math.B．Because his math teachers didn’t care to push him.C．Because he was too smart and talented for math class.D．Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.7．We can conclude that after entering college, the writer ________.A．was busy looking for math problems to solveB．studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC．met with laborious calculations in his studiesD．began to realize what mathematics really is8．What is the best title for the text?A．Interest is the best teacher B．Be the best — you can make itC．Math, taught like football D．Once your teacher, always your teacher （2023·江苏无锡·无锡市天一实验学校校考一模）When my son finally started school around the age of four, I felt as though I’d been promoted (晋级) to the new position of School Parent. It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum who were often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.9．What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A．She liked her new position.B．She got a promotion at work.C．She made good preparations.D．She had to face the challenge.10．Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3?A．disorganized B．busy C．confident D．hard-working11．What is the text mainly about?A．Growth of kids.B．Experience as a school parent.C．New life in school.D．Advice on lifestyle change.（2023·江苏宿迁·统考一模）One day, Frank was walking with his mother outside.

It was the strange crying sound. She got out of bed, picked up the candle and went out into the long, dark corridor(走廊) outside her room. As she followed it, the sound became louder and louder. Finally, she arrived at a door. She opened it quietly and went in.The room was large and full of beautiful old furniture.There was a fire in the fireplace and a candle next to a big bed. In it she could see a boy and he was crying. He had a white face, long dark hair and big grey eyes. He looked ill but he wasn’t crying because he was in pain.Mary went towards the bed.

If I live, I’m probably going to be a hunchback(驼背的人) like him.”“Does your father come and see you?”“He doesn’t want to see me.”“Why not?” Mary asked again.“My mother died when I was born. He feels sad when he looks at me. I think he almost hates me.”“He hates the garden because she died,” said Mary, half speaking to herself.“What garden?” the boy asked.“Oh, just a garden she liked,” Mary said.Then she said quickly, “Do you always stay in bed?”“Yes. But a doctor from London said I must go out in the fresh air. I hate fresh air.”“Oh,” said Mary.Mary learned a lot about Colin. Mary began to understand that Colin was spoilt.

Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door. Before she could climb down the ladder into the cellar, a great cyclone (龙卷风) picked up the house. It turned it round and round and round and then carried it high into the sky.It was not very dark. Dorothy felt as if she were riding through the sky. She held on to Toto and climbed under her bed, where she stayed for several hours. Then, although the house was still moving, she fell asleep.When she woke up, she did not know how much later, the house was on the ground. It was in a field full of flowers, and there were hundreds of beautifully colored birds flying about and singing. Not far away, there was a stream with clear, fresh water.Dorothy was still under her bed. She got up and left the house. She was surprised to see three little men and a little woman walking toward her. They were very strangely dressed. The men’s clothes were white and had little stars all over them.When they saw Dorothy, they walked up to her and bowed (鞠躬).“Welcome to the land of the Munchkins,” one of the little men said. “We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East. Now our people are free.”“I’m afraid you are making a mistake,” Dorothy said. “I didn’t kill any witch.”“Your house did,” one of the little men said. “Look!”He pointed to the house. Dorothy saw two feet sticking out from under it.“Oh!” Dorothy shouted. “The house fell on her. What can I do?”“There is nothing to do,” the little woman said. “The Wicked Witch of the East is dead, and theMunchkins are thankful to you.”“Are you a Munchkin?” Dorothy asked.“No, but I am their friend,” the little woman said. “I am the Witch of the North.?”From The Wonderful Wizard of Ozby L.

It was Wendy. The boys all took off their hats “Where am I?” Wendy asked.Of course, Slightly was the first to get a word in.“Wendy lady,’’ he said quickly, “we built this house for you.’’“Oh, please say you like it!” cried Nibs.“What a lovely, lovely house,” Wendy said.

Her husband’s friend Richards was there, too. He had been in the newspaper office when news of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed”. He had only taken the time to make sure of its truth by a second telegram, and hurried to send the sad message.She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same. She wept at once, with wild abandonment (抛弃), in her sister’s arms. When the storm of sadness had spent itself she went away to her room alone.There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable armchair. Into this she sank, tired from a physical exhaustion that held her body and seemed to reach into her soul.She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver (颤抖的, 兴奋的) with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. The notes of a distant song which someone was singing reached her, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves (屋檐).There was something coming to her and she was waiting for it, fearfully. What was it? It was too hard to name. But she felt it, coming out of the sky, reaching toward her through the sounds, the smells, the color that filled the air.Now her chest rose and fell violently. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was trying very hard to beat it back with her will. When she gave up trying, a little whispered word escaped her lips. She said it over and over under the breath: “free, free, free!”She did not stop to ask if it was extreme joy that held her. She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, gentle hands folded in death; the face that had never looked at her except with love, gray and dead. But she saw beyond that bitter moment many years to come that would belong to her absolutely. And she opened and spread her arms out to them in welcome.There would be no one to live for during those coming years; she would live for herself. There would be no powerful will against hers.And yet she had loved him—sometimes. What did it matter! What could love count for in the face of her new freedom.“Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole. “Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door—you will make yourself ill.”“Go away. I am not making myself ill.”Her fancy (幻想) was running wild along those days ahead of her, all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shake that life might be long.She stood up after a long time and opened the door to her sister’s begging. She carried herself unknowingly like a goddess of Victory. She held her sister’s waist, and together they walked down the stairs.Someone was opening the front door with a key, It was Brently Mallard who entered, a little travel-stained (风尘仆仆的), calmly carrying his suitcase and umbrella. He had been far from the scene of the accident, and did not even know there had been one, He stood amazed at Josephine’s sharp cry; at Richards’ quick motion to screen him from the view of his wife.When the doctors came, they said she had died of heart disease—of the joy that kills.32．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 indicate?A．Mrs. Mallard decided to fight back when her husband beat her.B．Mrs. Mallard was trying hard to fight against her heart trouble.C．Mrs. Mallard was struggling with the guilty feeling of happiness.D．Mrs. Mallard was extremely sad because of her husband’s death.33．What can we infer about Mr. Mallard?A．He was killed in a railroad disaster.B．He survived the railroad accident.C．He was unaware of what was going on.D．He hurried back to comfort his wife.34．What can we learn from Paragraph 14 “Her fancy…. might be long”?A．Mrs. Mallard was more afraid of her future life.B．Mrs. Mallard missed her husband very much.C．Mrs. Mallard always thought life was hopeful.D．Mrs. Mallard used to think life was hopeless. 35．What really killed Mrs. Mallard?A．The joy of seeing her husband coming back alive.

高考英语阅读之记叙文基础训练(四)
2022高考英语阅读之记叙文基础训练（四）(A)Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture from our house to my son’s flat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.Moving the lorry backward in my yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. Fortunately, I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry into it only to notice three people at a pavement café waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing. “You’ve hit the car parked behind you,” they said. I examined the car. There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car’s windscreen, giving my phone number.I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival, the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol befor e returning it. “Just charge me,” I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding. No doubt he’d witnessed others in this state before. “How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive it back?” he asked.He danced the great lorry through the traffic so carefully that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.1. The man felt ______ to have delivered the furniture himself.A. gratefulB. regretfulC. proudD. confident2. The man trembled violently because ______.A. he caused a terrible traffic accidentB. driving the lorry was too difficult for himC. he was afraid to see the three peopleD. the furniture was too heavy for him3. The man said he was a bad man most probably because ______.A. he made the traffic accident on purposeB. he parked the big lorry on the pavementC. he shouldn’t have driven the lorry himselfD. he shouldn’t have caused trouble for the disabled4. The writer intended to suggest that ______.A. it was exciting to drive a lorryB. it was hard to avoid accidentsC. being too confident is foolishD. the boss was expert in driving(B)At school, I was in the top set for maths. My teachers recommended that I study economics and statistics as my A-level subjects, but I had my mind set on a life fulfilled by the arts.In fact, I was a victim of a gender stereotype that men do science or maths and women do arts or language. Computer science, technology and physics just did not figure in my teenage world view. Nobody popular in my school chose to study those subjects.Reality struck hard when I began attending job interviews and interviewers would say, “It’s great that you speak foreign languages, but what else do you do?” Nobody asked my friends who had studied science or technology those questions.A survey recently showed that three of the best-paid jobs for women are in the technology sector. It’s a sector that really can change the world. We must show girls that technology has an effect on every industry out there, from fashion to architecture to journalism. Anybody can learn to code programs and these days it’s as important as reading and waiting. I’ve realized that at university I’d achieved the wrong kind of literacy. Not being able to code programs limit your impact on the world far more than an ignorance of great literature.Now I have a five-year-old daughter. I don’t want her to blindly follow gender roles the way I did. I want her to know the fact that a science or technical degree will not limit her creativity but expand it and broaden her horizons far more than my arts background could. I’m exposing her to Minecraft and apps, which help improve analytical thinking and problem solving skills. I’m hoping that my daughter will discover and accept her potentials for science and want to change the world.1. What does the underlined phrase “gender stereotype” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Personal learning style.B. Sex characteristic.C. Traditional sex concept.D. Profession difference.2. According to the author, which may be the benefit of learning science?A. Increasing job possibilities.B. Wining popularity.C. Improving language competence.D. Enriching imagination.3. How did the author feel for her major choice?A. Satisfied.B. Active.C. Discouraged.D. Regretful.4. What may be the best title for the text?A. Art or Science, Either is OK.B. Good Subjects, Good Future.C. Girls, Choose More Wisely.D. Catch Chances, Change the World.(C)Think it's cold where you are. A visit to Oymyakon might just change your mind.The coldest inhabited(居住的) place on Earth is a small village in the Siberian tundra called Oymyakon where temperatures have been recorded as low as－90 degrees Fahrenheit. Average winter temperatures hang around－58 degrees Fahrenheit in Oymyakon and only about 500 people brave the cold to call the town home.Photographer Amos Chapple, of New Zealand, took a two day trip to the Russian village and quickly learned just how painful the plunging(骤降的) temperatures could be.“I was wearing thin trousers when I first stepped outside into－47 degrees Celsius (－52 degrees Fahrenheit). I remembered feeling like the cold was physically grasping my legs."He hoped to document(记录) the residents in the small town's lives as theyavoided frostbite and blistering cold. He noted that residents live off a diet of primarily meat due to the fact that produce are unable to survive in the freezing temperatures.Because the ground is always frozen, there is little indoor plumbing and most bathrooms are outhouses and cell phones and car engines are constantly in danger of freezing over.If cars aren't left running outside, they must be kept in a heated garage to prevent damage and people will walk but try and get out of the cold as quickly as possible.Chapple said he traveled to Oymyakon to find an exciting story but said the cold created some new challenges in his photography. His lens would freeze over and became impossible to focus.However, in summer the town can get up to 21 hours of light and temperatures can rise to an average of 73 degrees Fahrenheit in July.1. Why did Chapple travel to Oymyakon?A. To discover a thrilling story.B. To help people there.C. To experience its cold.D. To do a research.2. What can we know about Oymyakon from the second paragraph?A. It is the coldest place in the world.B. A lot of people are willing to live there.C. The average temperature is－58 degrees Celsius.D. The lowest recorded temperature is－90 degrees Fahrenheit.3. Why do people mainly feed on meat in Oymyakon?A. Produce can't survive.B. Oymyakon is abundant in meat.C. Vegetables are too expensive.D. People are fond of meat.4. What do we know about the life in Oymyakon?A. People don't need to worry about cell phones and car engines.B. The vehicles had better be kept in a warm garage when not used.C. There is a lot of indoor plumbing and most bathrooms are outhouses.D. People there will never walk because of freezing temperatures.(D)Recently an elderly man in Dalian was unable to travel on the subway because to enter the subway, his QR health code needed lo be scanned, “What is a QR code?” the man asked. “I have money to buy a ticket, why do I need a smartphone?” In the end，he left the station, feeling confused and embarrassed.I certainly feel sorry for the man from Dalian. He's one of those who have spent their entire lives contributing to society and now they feel excluded from that society. But what can be done? One group of volunteer college students are trying to help. They are called See Young and they help the elderly learn how to use smartphones. However, leaching old folks about smartphones is only one part of the problem.Many older people have physical and health issues. Poor eyesight makes reading characters on small screens difficult. And “leathery fingers”（it means their fingers are less sensitive) make it hard to use touch screens. Perhaps these are problems that smartphone makers should try to settle.There are about 255 million elderly people in China and by 2030, one quarter of the population will be over 60 years of age. New technology and new solutions are going to be needed to make sure that these old folks aren’t left by the side of the roadas the rest of society races past. In the meantime, if you have grandparents, or know some elderly people, lend a helping hand to them when they need it. And remember to be patient. Technologies that you take for granted may be a struggle for them.1. Why does the author mention the man in Dalian in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic.B. To analyze the cause.C. To make a comparison.D. To support his argument.2. What can the underlined phrase “excluded from” in Paragraph 2 be replaced by?A. Satisfied with.B. Refused by.C. Curious about.D. Concerned about.3. What does the author want to convey to the readers?A. Old people had better update their smartphones in time.B. Government ought to reduce smartphone uses for the elderly.C. Smartphone makers should promote old people's physical health.D. Young people need to help the elderly patiently with new technologies.（E)When you hear the word "birthmark", you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it's different -I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I'm used to being asked, "What are those black marks on your lips?" When I tell people they're birthmarks, they usually say, "That's strange." I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marksIn pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing（噘起）my lips so I wouldn't have to deal with people's questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out withthem. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom's side of the family. My mom's mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom's uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She's never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn't be such a person as she is.Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don't hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, "They`re beauty marks" and smile without pursing my lips.1. How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks?A. She was bored to be faced with the question.B. She felt annoyed to give others an answer.C. She was scared to be made fun of by people.D. She felt excited to show her difference.2. Who has the similar birthmarks like the author?A. Her mother.B. Her grandmother.C. Her cousinD. Her uncle.3. What can be inferred about the author's cousin?A. She dislikes talking about her birthmark.B. She is more confident than the author.C. She never judges others by their looks.D. She has taken her grandma's suggestion.4. What does the underlined word "prominent" in paragraph 4 mean?A. Brilliant.B. HarmfulC. Obvious.D. Impressive（F)In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices than, let's say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and others are better used. Let me try to explain.A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions（排放）of carbon dioxide（CO2）from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirectCO2 emissions from the whole lifecycle of products we use-those related to their production and breakdown.Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the “secondary footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances（设备）that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models. I heard somewhere that electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once it gets to you.1. What is the text mainly about?A. What appliances to buy to save energy.B. What a carbon footprint means in our life.C. How to identify different carbon footprints.D. How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.2. What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?A. It is related to our consumption of fuels.B. It is made when we are buying the products.C. It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.D. It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.。

For most of my life I had been fighting with my body weight. I was either gaining weight or trying to lose it. I wasn’t happy with myself, and I certainly wasn’t able to fully enjoy life. Not only did I feel bad physically, but I felt terribleemotionally. I also knew I wasn’t able to be the best I could be, and with failure after failure in losing weight, I just felt so hopeless to make it.One day in 2008, I was looking through ads online and saw a treadmill (跑步机) for $100. This time I decided to start small and keep it doable. The first week I started walking 15 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed time every day. The next week I did 16 minutes. Each week I added a minute. Gradually, I increased speed as well as time.

As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a “last lecture”. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.The only difference in Pausch’s case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” on Sept. 18, 2007.Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn’t. He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don’t always succeed. He shared the values(价值观) learned through experience, which he hoped to pass on to others hard work, laughter and gratitude, honesty, character.Pausch’s last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的) version on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”.

One night I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, standing on the sideway was a small woman in her 80’s with a big suitcase.After I helped her into the taxi, she gave me an address, and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” she said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in-the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价表). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when theywere newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building.“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly, and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.I didn’t pick up any more passengers but drove aimlessly lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver? What if I had refused to drive through downtown? Great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.21．What caused the author to shut off the meter?A．His distrust of the fare.B．His pity for the woman.C．The breakdown of the meter.D．The cold weather at midnight.22．What wạs the aim of the woman’s ride through downtown?A．To find a place to settle down.B．To reach the destination on time.C．To kill time before the hospice opened.D．To see the city for the last time.23．What can we learn from the story?A．Don’t give up and never lose hope.B．People should respect each other.C．A small act of kindness brings people great joy.D．Strangers are family you haven’t known yet. 24．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．A taxi ride I’ll never forget B．My strange driving experienceC．The ending of an old woman’s life D．An old woman passenger and her life（2022春·广西南宁·高一南宁三中校考期中）When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”“Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.“May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hallseemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!”“There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about mv home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”25．What do we know about Marian McNay?A．She was a journalist.B．She was a painter.C．She was a museum director.D．She was a community leader.26．Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?A．She disliked people who were nosy.B．She felt nervous when talking to strangers.C．She thought of him as a tour guideD．She knew more about art than the man.27．How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?A．Puzzled.B．Concerned.C．Frightened.D．Delighted.28．What could we learn from the last paragraph?A．People should have good taste to enjoy life.B．People should spend more time with their family.C．People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.D．People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.（2022春·重庆·高一重庆市武隆中学校联考期中）Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest (牧师) in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.John Medcalf, the priest, was moved. He also realised that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books, they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians first appeared in the villages of northern Peru, almost thirty years ago.The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rural Library Network of Peru.At first, they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village leaders took on the job themselves.Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.29．The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo ______.A．enjoyed reading booksB．bought candles from the churchC．had a lot of booksD．lived in the church30．The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ______.A．to grow to love booksB．to read and writeC．to bring books to peopleD．to build a new library31．The passage doesn’t mention ______.A．where Medcalf met Chinese doctorsB．who worked as village librarians at firstC．when the barefoot librarians appearedD．how many village libraries Peru has today32．It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ______.A．the first church in Peru was set up by John MedcalfB．car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo’s villageC．teachers were interested in bringing books to villagersD．the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries（2022春·重庆·高一重庆八中校考期中）Teaching is a constant process of upgrade, where every moment you learn new things, not only as a teacher, but also as a human being.At the start of my career, I believed I should come across to my students as a “no-nonsense” type of person. My entire focus was towards maintaining classroom discipline. It was tough. Most of my Indian students were from a rural background. They would intentionally use vocabulary that sounded Greek to me. They did all in their power to make me feel like a fish out of water.My last lecture ended at 2:30 in the afternoon. Some of the students approached me begging to let them leave 15 minutes early as they had a bus to catch. My permission resulted in a stir (骚动) as half of the class stood up to leave. They all had buses to catch! Unable to distinguish between the genuine ones and those faking it, I put a ban on anybody leaving before time.One evening, I spotted three boys from my last class at the bus stop. I called out, “You constantly blame me for not allowing you to leave early because you have a bus to catch and here you are still hanging around at 5 pm!” One of the boys replied respectfully and humbly, “Madam, the bus leaves at 2:30. If we leave the class at 2:15, we are able to make it. In case we miss it, the next bus to our village comes after three hours. Now we are waiting for it. At this hour, the bus will be overloaded and we will not even get a seat.”I was full of regret. The next day, I asked all the students who had a bus to catch to write an application, get it signed and leave whenever they wanted, without seeking my permission. I learnt the first lesson of my life as a teacher—learn to understand your students, for they would learn better from you when they respect you than when they fear you.33．What gave the author the biggest headache when she started teaching?A．Her students’ serious violent behavior.B．Her struggle to keep her classes in order.C．Her inability to understand Greek words.D．Her students’ various educational backgrounds.34．How did the author deal with the students’ request to leave before time at first?A．She took it seriously.B．She refused it completely.C．She permitted it immediately.D．She handled it gracefully.35．How did the author feel the moment she spotted the three boys at the bus stop?A．Embarrassed.B．Angry.C．Regretful.D．Concerned.36．What lesson can teachers learn from the story?A．Show students that you respect them.B．Care about students’ emotional experiences.C．Cooperate with students to improve learning.D．Evaluate yourself first and the students second.（2022春·湖南株洲·高一株洲二中校考期中）Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew exhausted. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined’ it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each other’s’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.37．Why did the writer and the woman both came here?A．To have fun together.B．To enjoy the beautiful scenery.C．To take pictures of the landscape.D．To do research on the environment. 38．What made the writer feel annoyed?A．The woman was too noisy.B．Her camera stopped working. C．She was forbidden to take photos there.D．The woman blocked her view.39．In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A．The rich color of the landscape.B．The perfect positioning of the camera. C．The woman’s existence in the photo.D．The soft sunlight that summer day. 40．The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections on________A．the art of photography.B．the friendship between two strangers. C．the writer’s attitude to the landscape.D．a particular life experience of the writer.参考答案：1．A2．B3．A4．C【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要介绍了摇滚歌星Pat Benatar。

''Indeed, he did.After a few minutes, his mother said, ''Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.We could use a sponge(海绵) , a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer? '' He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, ''You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let's go to the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it. '' The little boy leaned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were opportunities for learning something new, which is what scientific experiments are all about.Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert'smother responded to him?4．What happened when the boy dropped the milk bottle?A．He got injured and burst into tears.B．He cried over the broken milk bottle.C．His mother scolded him for making a mess.D．His mother encouraged him to play with the milk.5．What was his mother's purpose by inviting him to do the clean-up together?A．To inspire his creativity.B．To promote his responsibility.C．To develop his cooking skill.D．To improve his experiment ability.6．Why did the mother take the boy to the backyard?A．To fetch water for cleaningB．Top our milk into the bottle.C．To help him wipe off his memory of failure.D．To explore how to carry bottles successfully.7．What is critical to the scientist's creativity?A．His childhood toys.B．His mother's strictness.C．Lessons from making mistakes.D．Failure in scientific experiments.3.（2020届福建省泉州市高三第一次质检）Connie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need public support and input. That's why Monroe and other residents (居民) are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step. Virtual reality is an immersive experience that can trick the human brain into thinking it's real. But tricking people is not the goal of the sea level rise simulation being used at Turner Station, says Juiano Calil, one of the program's developers. ''The goal, '' he says, ''is to start a conversation and help folks visualize the impacts of climate change and the solutions, and also discuss the trade-offs between them. ''8．Who is Monroe?A．A coastal community citizen. B．A climate researcher.C．An architect. D．A VR program developer.9．What does the underlined word ''vexing'' mean in paragraph 2?A．Bothersome. B．Dramatic.C．Original. D．Convincing.10．Why is VR technology employed here?A．It can cut down the risks of climate change.B．It can show severe results of climate change.C．It can introduce technology to the residents.D．It can predict the climate change accurately.11．What is the purpose of the program?A．To trick more people to believe.B．To win the residents’cooperation.C．To advocate the application of VR.D．To inform the residents of the solutions.4.（2020届广东广雅中学高三适应性考试）"How do you account for your remarkable accomplishment in Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller. "How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf you were able to accomplish so much?"Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute (致敬) to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nursed presence, but she still continued to visit. The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love.Eventually, doctors noticed the change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hatred, they now noted a gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless'' child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.4．The dialogue between Queen Victoria and Helen Keller is mentioned mainly to .A．show a deep admiration for Helen KellerB．prove that Helen Keller made a great contributionC．begin telling the story of Helen Keller teacher Anne SullivanD．get the reader interested in how Helen Keller achieved so much5．What is the hardship mentioned in the third paragraph?A．Sullivan had a strange disease.B．Almost everyone ignored Sullivan.C．Sullivan was kept away from her parents.D．Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.6．What can we conclude from the article?A．Sullivan liked the nurse from the very beginning.B．Sullivan experienced firsthand how terrible the life of a deaf child was.C．The elderly nurse had no doubt that Sullivan would be a great teacher.D．Without the nurse, Sullivan couldn't have helped Helen Keller later.7．Which of the following would be the best title for the article?A．The Power of LoveB．Making a DifferenceC．The Secret to Being a Good TeacherD．Similarities Between Anne and Helen5.（2020届广西桂林调研）Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age.

They left to spend the night in motels or at friends’ homes that were out of range of approaching summer storm.Challenging the weather that threatened to damp our spirits, we lit a fire on the beach. Dad told jokes and we had a good time. When it was 6:30 p.m., all laughter disappeared. Our eyes were drawn to the sky. A tornado（龙卷风）was headed straight for us! In a flash, we were all on our feet. The wind started screaming and now we were running to the cottage. My mom stopped next to the front door. “Where can we go?” She shouted at my dad.Most cottages on this part of Lake Michigan had been built without basements. Ours was no exception. The huge wind ows and the cottage itself wouldn’t offer safety from high wind.“Follow me!” my dad yelled. We crawled（爬）beneath the deck, pressing ourselves against the foundationof the cottage. Between the deck supports, we watched the approaching storm in silent terror.My dad shouted, “Hold on!” and something else I couldn’t hear over the screaming wind. I think he was praying. By the time it reached our cottage, it was nothing more than a strong wind. The rest of the storm lasted for an hour and then simply blew away.“Next time, we’ll stay inland at Grandma’s.

I once read a book with a passage about True Names which explains that when a person’s true name is sp oken, she has a distinct aura（光环）around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it’s the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.People usually know me as Christin e. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don’t know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as Iwas. In their minds, they have a box labeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bo is a tight squeeze in the old “Christine” boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever-growing andever-learning.When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.A name shouldn’t make such a difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves.I can’t always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is st ill scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.4．When was the author given a nickname?A．When she was three years old.B．On the fourth day after she was born.C．Seven days after she was born.D．When she received the old “Christine” box.5．What do the people know about the author as Christine?A．They think the author is active and crazy.B．They care about the author’s most recent feelings.C．They don’t realize the author has changed.D．They don’t know the author has changed her name.6．What kind of person was the author in the past?A．She showed no interest in reading.B．She took pleasure in finding new things.C．She loved reading and sharing books with friends.D．She lacked confidence and preferred to be alone.7．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Bo—the True NameB．A Unique NameC．Remember the PastD．The Meaning of Nickname8.（2020届河南省焦作市高三三模）During Rick’s birth in 1962, his brain was damaged for oxygen lack. The doctors told Dick Hoyt that there was no hope of his son being anything more than a “vegetable”. Yet Dick and his wife were determ ined to raise him at home.At age 13, Rick told his father he wanted to participate in a five-mile benefit run for the disabled. Dick was not a runner, but he agreed to push Rick through the race course in his wheelchair. That was when a surprising thing happened. During the r un, Rick felt as though he wasn’t disabled anymore—he was simply one of the runners. This experience deeply affected Dick, and he committed to running an increasing number of events with his son so that Rick could have this feeling as often as possible.At first, other competitors often treated them as outsiders and even avoided them. But gradually, what began as a way for Rick Hoyt to experience inclusion and equality broadened in its purpose. Running together became a way to send a message that, as Rick s aid, everybody should be included in everyday life. The pair’s first Boston Marathon in 1981 finished in the top quarter of the field, and shortly thereafter, attitudes began to change. Many athletes would come up to them before the race to wish them luck.The 2013 Boston Marathon was the 31st time the Hoyts had run the race, and it was also their last race. Dick has run thousands of miles to be with and support his son.

Would we even make it a week without going mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs like most people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small yard maybe even a basement. But there was something about this neat “tiny” home that aroused our interest, which challenged us. We like to live differently from the crowd, to avoid what everyone else is doing “just because” everyone else is.“Let’s try it for six months. If it makes us crazy, we’ll move. We can do anything for 6 months,” my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found appealing. But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible options. There’s no room for clutter(凌乱的东西), either. This is a gift!It’s been 8 months, and we’re staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small, you don’t need to spend much in furnishing it, and you can’t keep endlessly buying things. There’s nowhere to put them!This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and enjoy life. For us, living in a “tiny” home has filled us with a feeling of abundance.It’s so much better than feelingweighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things. I highly recommend it.24．W hat can we learn from the words of the author’s husband?A．He didn’t like to stay in the small space.B．He made up his mind to stay in the small space.C．He was uncertain about living in the small space.D．He encouraged the author to live in the small space.25．What do we know about the author’s experience from the text?A．It was depressing but inspiring.B．It was challenging but interesting.C．It was disappointing but touching.D．It was embarrassing but rewarding.26．What’s the main advantage of living i n the small room to the author?A．She could enjoy life more. B．She could avoid the crowds.C．She could clean the room easily. D．She could enjoy a feeling of freedom.27．What is the best title for the text?A．A new trend of living B．The joy of living “tiny”C．Save space, save money D．Make good use of space10.（2020届河南省新乡市高三第二次模拟）Najib is an Afghan who grew up in Iran. He led a tough life. When he found his children would be in the same situation, his family initially returned to Afghanistan. But with the country filled with conflicts, they decided to leave for Indonesia.“When we first came here, we were in a bad situation. Its language, culture and even weather were different. We had moved away from friends and family,” says Najib. “I was in a tough posit ion but I acted strong because there were no other choices.”Refugees (难民) cannot work in Indonesia and there are limited choices for refugee children to attend local schools. Determined to avoid such a fate, a group of refugees in Puncak took action and scraped together (东拼西凑) their resources to set up a school—the Refugee Learning Center (RLC).“Our only goal and task is to provide basic education, and prepare the refugee children for their future,” saysAbdullah Sarwari. “We’re also trying to provide a normal life as much as possible for them.”The RLC has also st arted offering Bahasa Indonesia classes to the refugee community. “Between the refugee and the local community, I feel like there’s a language barrier which stops the refugee from having an honest and open interaction with Indonesians,” says Abdullah.“If you try your best, to learn the language of a particular place or country, it really helps make things easier,” says Najib. He is among those who signed up for classes, although he admits progress has been slow. But life has improved in some ways for him and his family.Najib says, “The centre is an opportunity for refugee to show that they are not a burden.

The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed, according to PEOPLE magazine.Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help with her, dyslexia and knew she'd be able to spell on the man's palm by finger. So she unbuckled her seat belt, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the aisle seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time.

高三英语记叙文阅读与写作训练及满分作文Narrative Essay
高考英语记叙文写作培训例文1：（2011东城二模阅读理解A篇）I had looked forward to this day for a long time. Finally I, Kirsty Stuart, would stand on the top of Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. Although I climbed often in my native Scotland, this was my first trip to the Alps. My companions—Jean-Pierre Barton, Maurice Gautier, and Mary Sargent—and I left our camp early and planned to reach the top by late morning.As we neared the top, large clouds gathered and it began to snow. We found shelter and decided to wait for the snow to stop. After three hours, however, we decided to go back and try again the next day. We started down the mountain in the thick snow. Jean-Pierre forgot his sunglasses and went back to look for them. As he was returning to us, he started to fall.His fall started an avalanche(雪崩) and it was falling towards us! I was swept away by the heavy snow. Jean-Pierre hurried down to me. “Are you OK?” he asked.“I think I broke my leg,” I answered.“I’d better radio for help!” he said. “Where are the others?” We couldn’t see Maurice or Mary anywhere.Jean-Pierre called the emergency radio number, and the police said they would send help right away. It seemed like hours, but only minutes later we heard the welcome sound of a helicopter. The helicopter couldn’t land on the mount ainside, so they lowered two men, two dogs and a stretcher(担架). One man ran to me, but I told him to search for the others. The dogs were trained for avalanche rescue and soon began to dig crazily in the snow.Bernardo, the lead dog, found Mary’s scarf an d led the rescuers to her. Maurice was nearby. The men gave us hot drinks and warm blankets and then prepared to lift us into the helicopter. Two men inside the helicopter pulled us up with the ropes. I went first on the stretcher.Once we were safely inside, the helicopter flew to the hospital in Chamonix. Our poor rescuers and their dogs had to climb all the way back down the mountain. Later we would find these brave men and thank them for saving our lives.例文2：（2011西城二模阅读理解A篇）On Christmas morning, I went to the Cockhedge Mall. People there were all busy buying their last minute requirements. I needed to buy a birthday card for my son-in-law whose birthday is the 29th of December. Picking up a few more things as well as my cared I went to join the line for the express checkout which was for people who only had a few items in a basket and not a trolley load. This line was next to the Customer Service desk.Seemingly waiting quite a long time, I was jogged out of my thoughts by a voice behind memaking comments on the things I bought.It was so funny when I realized that she was describing the contents of my basket. The owner of the voice was a very pretty young lady. I said to her that I was going to buy a box of Christmas cookies but the only ones left were not to my liking. The lady told me that just opposite Cockhedge in Superdrug they had lots of cookies. I said, “I’m not going to bother now. I had enough of shops and I’m going home.”The assistant from the Customer Service came across at this time sa ying “If there is anyone in the line with a few items in their basket, none of which needed to be weighed, I will check out their groceries at the desk.” Because I had the sprouts which needed to be weighted, the young lady accepted the offer and walked away waving goodbye.Eventually my turn came at the checkout. I was walking away when I met my new friend once again who handed me a beautiful box of Christmas cookies. With a big hug she said “Hope you have a lovely Christmas.” She had been into Superdrug to buy me the cookies while I was still queuing in Cockhedge.What a generosity to a stranger! I was so surprised you could have knocked me down with a feather. My Good Samaritan would never know what a joyful Christmas day I had with my family. Telling them this story, as we ate around the table, kept everyone spellbound.例文3 完形填空It was a cold winter afternoon.

When trying to pick up the camera memory card that he had dropped, he accidentally lost his footing and fell into the river which was flowing dangerously fast as a result of the heavy rainbrought by the recent typhoon. He was quickly dragged downstream and was swept away by the strong current. He was unable to reach the riverbank, his young friends powerless to help.Thankfully, at that exact moment, a 26-year-old Chinese exchange student, YanJun, was taking a jog along the river when he spotted the boy waving his arms in an effort to stay afloat, but the boy was obviously panicked and in great danger of drowning. With little regard for his own safety and the wildly running river, Yan leapt into the river to try to rescue the boy. Right after Yan hit the water, he quickly discovered that his body was completely powerless in the face of nature. He almost died too because of the torrential river. But with all his might, he swam hard toward the boy who was now beginning to lose consciousness.Unfortunately, it is difficult for Yan to reach the boy, as the strong currents carried the boy past. Eventually, after several attempts, it took Yan all his remaining strength to reach the boy. Then he quickly locked his left arm against the boy’s chest and managed to drag the boy back to the bank safely.The two were taken to a nearby hospital for examination. Fortunately, neither suffered serious injuries. Aside from a few minor cuts and bruises, the boy was unhurt, as was his heroic rescuer. They were immediately released afterwards.Later on, Yan's heroic and selfless act was widely reported in Japanese media and received a certificate of commendation from the Chief of the Police, who spoke highly of Yan's courageous behavior in disregarding his own safety and the danger involved, saying that his actions had impressed all who have heard of them. Japanese netizens also all paid tribute to Yan's heroic behavior.Yan took to his microblog on Sina Weibo to talk about his experience. Although he suffered a few minor abrasions, he said he had “just done the natural thing” and that he was very lucky he was able to save both the boy and himself. He also said that “nationality" had nothing to do with saving a life, and after all, giving a hand is the basis of a more harmonious and humane society.例文5：One Friday eveningI was walking home from school. It was raining and it was starting to get dark.I was waiting at some traffic lights when, suddenly, I heard a scream from somewhere above me.I looked up and saw a woman at a window who looked desperate and helpless. She screamed “fire”, waving her hands with almost all her strength. Seeing this urgent scene, I knew I had to do something quickly. I ran into the house without hesitation. Meanwhile, one of the neighbours phoned the police and called the fire engine.As I went into the house, I found it hard to see anything because it was full of smoke. First I covered my mouth with a wet towel right on the table in the kitchen, and then I tried my best to approach the woman following her voice. When she noticed me, she stopped screaming and staggered to me. I hurried to her and held her hand. The fire spread quickly, and the smoke made it hard for us to breathe.At the moment, all I thought was getting out of the house at once. So I supported the woman, struggling to the door. I could hear the sirens of the fire engine wailing and people shouting outside. Iexerted all my strength, pushing the woman out of the door before I fainted.When I woke up, I found myself in an ambulance. I sat up with the help of the nurse. What relieved me was thatI was told the woman was only slightly hurt. Through the window, I could still see the fire fighters fighting the fire. In the end, a fireman came up to me and praised me for my brave action. This was the most impressive experience in my life.(2011年高考石景山一模考试)假设你是红星中学高二（1）班的学生李华，上周六在颐和园你做了一件好事。

另附高考复习方法和考前30天冲刺复习方法。
新高考阅读理解两年(2021-2022)之体裁和主题内容统计两年阅读理解考得最多的文体是“说明文”，其次为“记叙文”，再次为“应用文”，而“议论文”则没有涉及。
在“三新(新课标新教材新高考)”背景下，2023年是否要考“议论文”体裁的阅读理解，我们将拭目以待。
从上述统计来看，记叙文体裁的阅读理解题似有减少的趋势(2021记叙文为3篇，而2022记叙文1篇+新闻报道<记叙为主>1篇)，但不管怎么变，记叙文体裁的阅读理解应该在高考中是不会缺席的。
高考记叙文体裁阅读理解的命题一直都比较稳定：着重考查细节理解题和推理判断题，兼顾其他题型。
记叙文是指以“记叙或夹叙夹议”为主的文章，即讲明过去已经发生、当前正在发生亦或是未来可能发生的事情，并发表一定的议论或看法。

I have thought long and hard about it and it’s true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn’t turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don’t know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task., but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we’d hear something like, “I don’t care what so –and –so got for his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room a car for your birthday a lsvish sweet 16 party.” We had to earn our allowance by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house .Like the two little girls growing up at the White House,we made our own beds (no one left the house until that was done)and picked up after ourselves.We had to keep track of our belongings ,and if something was lost ,it was not replaced.It was summer and ,one day ,my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed---and there it was in the window, White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers ,the basket winked at me and I knew ----I knew---I had to have it.“It’s beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her,”What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first ,I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn’t at and it any longer:“Mom, please can I please ,please get it? I ‘ll do extra chores for as long as you say, I’ll do anything ,but I need that basket,I love that basket.Please ,Mom .Please?”I was desperate.“You know,” she said ,gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever,” If you save up you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it’ll be gone!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger ,the bike guy.“He can’t hold it for that long ,Mom .Someone else will buy it .Please, Mom,Please?”“There might be another way,” she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn’t find. Each week I eagerly counted my g rowing saving increased by extra work here and there (washing the car ,helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front).And then ,weeks later ,I counted ,re-counted and jumped for joy. Oh ,happy day ! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we’d agreed upon….Days later the unthinkable happened.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have beenable to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.27．What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain.B.

How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A．It’s unexpected. B．It’s beautiful.C．It’s humorous. D．It’s discouraging.CFor Matt and Dani Fontanesi, everything was going according to plan. The American newlyweds had just been married in February and were preparing for their honeymoon. They would leave their home in New Zealand to set off on a tour of the United States.Matt developed a bit of a cold before leaving but didn't think much of it. During the first 14-hour leg of their flight, though, Matt's simple cold developed into a high fever. When they got to Idaho, he felt even worse. As three days passed and Matt stayed in bed, Dani took him to the hospital. When the doctor came back with the blood test results, his lighthearted attitude from earlier had noticeably changed. The patient's white blood cells were dangerously low. It was either AIDS or cancer.Three days later, the news came: acute myeloid leukemia(急性骨髓性白血病). About 90 percent of Matt's blood was cancerous, so he'd have to start chemotherapy(化疗) right away. There was a catch—treatment would mean Matt could never have kids. Even knowing their chances of starting a family were gone, they had no choice but to continue.Chemotherapy clearly was not enough, so Matt needed a bone marrow transplant(骨髓移植). His sister was the perfect match, and they flew to San Diego for the treatment. The bone marrow transplant destroyed what was left of Matt's immune system and got rid of the cancer.In the middle of Matt's fight against cancer, they received all ﹩80, 000 they needed within about a week, much of it from complete strangers.The treatment went better than expected, and a year later, Matt was already back at work in San Diego. But he and his wife have never stopped thinking about the unexpected generosity that came their way. “How do we responsibly accept this?” says Matt. “We recognized we needed to pay this forward and to help fight against leukemia.” The two have been volunteering with the Leukemia &Lymphoma Society, supporting other families going through similar struggles.“We have a new appreciation for life. Our lives are richer now because of it,” says Dani.31.What can we learn about Matt after he arrived at Idaho?A.He started his honeymoon happily.B. He prepared to go back home.C. He was terribly weak.D. He caught a cold.32．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "catch" in Paragraph 3?A．Failure. B．Chance. C．Solution. D．Disadvantage.33．What can we infer about Matt's treatment？A. It was successful.B. It was impractical.C. It was kept secret from his families.D. It was mostly supported by an organization.34. How did Matt' s experience influence him？A. He managed to become a doctor.B. He decided to help others in return.C. He started to found a charity for poor patients.D. He promised to give the money back to the strangers.三、七选五There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds. 35. She cared them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt the great love from the birds.36. .

高中英语记叙文阅读专项训练之记叙文
高三年级二轮复习阅读理解部分专题之记叙文主备人：李甜云一．记叙文记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手法，以记人、叙事为主要内容的文章。
1传记传记属记叙文的一种，是用来记载人物生平事迹的文章。
在教学过程中，教师要指导学生通过时间和事件的关系把握文章的主线。
此类体裁的文章通常被分为四部分，即A. childhood years B. early manhood C. great achievement D. remarks。
教师应当引导学生按照下列主线来理解传记类文章：人物→时间与事件→成功/成就/信仰→评价。
这样使学生在准确地理解课文的同时，也能学到传记类文章的写作方法。
2故事类故事类文章也是记叙文的一种。
文章多以人物、事件为中心，以时间和空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事。
此类篇章情节性较强，教师可指导学生按照事件叠加、情节逐步展开的特点和解决问题，以人物一系列动作为线索的显著特征进行略读，即可以较快地获得篇章的主要信息。
然后，教师再引导学生按照situation→problem→actions→conclusion迅速、准确地理解和掌握文章的细节。
二．“八字诀”：综观理脉检索整合一、综观——握要。
首先着眼于文章的整体，注意理清内部的相互关系，从宏观上居高临下地驾驭文章，领会文章的主旨内涵。
其次还要看文章的作者、写作时间和文后的注释等，特别要浏览一下后面问了哪些问题，从题目的选项中揣测文章的主旨，明确作者的主要写作意图。
二、理脉——分层。
磨刀不误砍柴功。
把握了全篇的主旨，理清了文章的脉络，再解答后面的问题，就如顺风行船，事半功倍。
可是有些考生不在这方面下功夫，走马观花地看一遍文章，似懂非懂，就急于解答后面的问题，结果是欲速则不达，不仅费时费力，还容易答错。
三、检索——筛选。
先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域，确定对应的语句，题目一般是从选文里有可能被考生忽略且又不一定真懂的地方抽出来编成各种形式的问题，用来考查学生的理解能力。

Last summer, he helped coach a school baseball team. When he first watched the team of 12-year-olds play baseball, his first impressions were not really positive.One player often left as soon as they started losing. Another player paid too much attention to all their mistakes during the game. Other boys preferred to dig up the grass when they weren’t in the play. A lot of boys threw their baseball bats when they lost the catch.While their baseball skills improved over time with more practice, there were still problems with their all-important character. The team had a long way to go. For example, some boys were hard on those who made mistakes. Instead of being supportive or encouraging, they blamed (责怪) each other.Peter started one-on-one talks with each player to discuss things that he had noticed. Some were about skillslike holding the bat up higher or opening their eyes when they were making a catch. But most were about staying positive and supporting each other.Slowly things began to change. The boys began to take the duties for their play instead of blaming others for mistakes. They stayed optimistic even when losing. The team culture was improving.Players began encouraging each other, high-fiving and supporting teammates. Peter was especially pleased to see some of the boys taking leadership roles and having their own one-on-one talks with their teammates.Peter doesn’t think he made huge progress in teaching the boys how to throw, catch or hit better, but he was pleased that their conversations around character led to something positive. Although the team still lost games, the players had stronger characters. Next season, their characters will be tested again.19．When did Peter begin to help coach a school baseball team?A．Last spring.

Though Lupe had a sharp mind, she could not, no matter how much she tried, run as fast as the other girls. The truth was that Lupe was no good in sports.“I’ll never be good at sports.” She felt angry one rainy day as she lay on her bed, looking at the shelf her father had made to hold her awards. “I wish I could win something, anything, even marble(弹珠).”At the word “marbles”, she sat up. “That’s it. Maybe I could be good at playing marbles, and marbles is a sport.” She rushed out of her room and found the marbles in her brother’s room.She practiced shooting softly at first. The marble rolled from her thumb(拇指) and clicked against the targeted(作为目标的) marble. But the target wouldn’t budge. She tried again and again, but the power from her thumb made the targeted marble roll only an inch or two.She realized her thumb was weak and then decided to squeeze(捏) a rubber eraser one hundred times, hoping it would strengthen her thumb.The weeks passed quickly. Lupe worked so hard that one day, while she was drying dishes, her mother asked why her thumb was swollen(肿胀的).“It’s muscle,” Lupe explained, “I’ve been practicing for the marbles championship.”“You, honey?” Her mother, Mrs. Medrano, knew Lupe was no good in sports.“Yeah, I beat Alfonso, and he’s pretty good.”When her father, Mr. Medrano, heard this, he was very happy and encouraged Lupe.Practice, practice, practice. Lupe got better and better. Then the day of the championship came. She beat her first competitor easily, and won one marble, and then one after another. At last, Lupe was in the final to play against a girl in a baseball cap. The girl never even looked at Lupe.“I don’t know, Dad. She looks tough.”“You can do it,” her father encouraged. “Just think of the marbles, not the girl, and let your thumb do the work.”It was a tough fight. But finally Lupe won the most marbles and became the winner!“I did it!” Lupe said under her breath. She rose from her knees, which hurt from bending all day, and hugged her father.Back home, in her own bedroom, she was happy. She had always won praise because of her brains, but winning in sports was a new experience. She thanked her tired thumb. “You did it, thumb.

高考真题B篇I work with Volunteers for Wildlife，a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured，displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However，when it works，it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived，I saw a 2- to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest，I might have been able to put it back，but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents，but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all！The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

从以上统计看，两年高考阅读七选五命题以说明文体裁为最，共7篇，记叙文体裁的只考了一篇，而其他体裁则没有涉及。
就体裁方面而言，笔者以为2023年的高考仍将以说明文为主，记叙文为辅或者就考记叙文(因为全国I卷继2017年采用了记叙文后，2021年又一次出现了记叙文，所以高考七选五中的文章体裁并不是一成不变的)。
考议论文体裁的大概率比较小，因为对于考生来说解题难度会成倍加大。
高考七选五中所选用的记叙文通常以记人叙事为主，以人物的经历和事物发展变化为主要内容。
记叙文包含时间、地点、人物、起因、经过和结果六要素，常用的记叙顺序有顺叙、倒叙、插叙，表达方式有叙述或夹叙夹议。
在阅读七选五中，记叙文体裁的，在选项设置上以上下文的过渡衔接和连贯为主，要求考生能理清记叙顺序和故事发展的过程与结构(弄清事情的起因、经过和结果尤为重要)。

Was it because of a fire or a child climbing too high to a dangerous place? Rather, it was for helping make a dream come true.Outdoor activities and a slow pace of life are a mainstay in this rural town. When people were unable to leave the community, Scott Chittle decided they needed a safe place to come together and something joyful during the winter months. And what is a better outdoor activity to get people outside than ice skating?To fulfil his dream, Chittle downloaded instructions on how to build an ice rink and then ordered a 3,000 square foot waterproof cloth and some wood to create walls online. It took 12 fire trucks to get enough water to fill the plot.It took a little time and some neighborly persuasion as Chittle went door to door to convince people to come to see his creation, and soon Chittle’s backyard ice rink became a Manton hot spot. Children were skating and shooting, a fire was burning, and hot chocolate was steaming in to-go cups. “When things were tough, it was a place,” says Chittle’s neighbor Audrey Hooker. “It was fantastic because we just came together and became calm and happy instead of concerned.”But the goodwill didn’t stop with Chittle. When the community heard how much money he used to make this project happen, everyone stepped forward. A fundraiser brought in about $1,300, and letters flooded to Chittle’s home stuffed with cash. “Almost 30 complete strangers knocked on my door to just shake my hand and say thank you, most of them handing me money as well and three asking for a hug,” says Chittle. “This has been a community thing. It’s more than me. I want to show the rest of the world what a little effort and the best intentions can do.”1．Why did fire trucks come to Manton?A．To deal with an emergency.B．To send water to the community.C．To ensure people’s safety in the town.D．To help with Chittle building the ice rink.2．What did Chittle do to carry out his project?A．Persuade his neighbors to make donations.B．Purchase a piece of land behind his house.C．Turn to the Internet for tips and materials.D．Research the popular lifestyles in Manton.3．How did the ice rink affect the community?A．It made the community popular in Mantan.B．It slowed down the pace of the residents’ life.C．It offered people there comfort and company.D．It inspired the residents to do outdoor activities. 4．What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A．Everyone could make a difference to society.B．Chittle received acts of kindness from others.C．The community got better due to the ice rink.D．Chittle had goodwill to the whole community.（2023秋·江苏苏州·高三苏州中学校考阶段练习）As a child, Liu Wenwen didn’t like the suona, a “loud” traditional Chinese musical instrument, also an ancestral treasure of her family that was to become her career.Liu says she felt ashamed. In the 1990s, people admired things that were modern and international. The suona was considered out of date. Her father’s family has performed with the suona for seven generations, while the tradition on her mother’s side of the family can be traced back to the early Qing Dynasty. Despite her unwillingness, she followed her parents to play the suona as early as 3 years old. Besides it, Liu has also learned traditional Chinese vocal music and dancing — skills that have improved her oral muscles and sense of rhyme, helping equip her to be a professional musician.It wasn’t until 2008 that she first found suona music beautiful. That was when she entered the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to learn the instrument more systematically from Liu Ying, a professor and top player. “The music played by the professor is just amazing, and different from what I had heard before,” she says.She loves exchanging ideas about suona playing techniques with her students. “It’s wonderful to see the younger generation carrying on this cultural tradition.” Liu Wenwen said she is pleased to see the suona regain popularity among young people, sometimes combined with jazz, opera and other art forms. This has stopped its decline in the 1990s. Her name, when mentioned on China’s social media platforms, often is followed by a video of her live performance at a concert in Sydney, Australia. Westerners were amazed by the loud, unfamiliar instrument and its colorful music. “I felt my hard work had paid off. I trained for over 20 years, probably just to win cheers and applause for traditional Chinese music on the international stage.”5．What urged Liu Wenwen to learn to play the suona?A．Career pressure.B．Social trend.C．Family tradition.D．Her professor’s performance.6．What has helped her become a professional musician?A．Her early passion for suona.B．Her exposure to vocal music and dance.C．Her learning knowledge of rhyme.D．Her performing experiences with family.7．How did Liu begin to find suona music beautiful?A．By learning from the famous professor Liu.B．By visiting Shanghai Conservatory of Music.C．By combining suona with other music forms.D．By watching her family performing with suona.8．What is implied in the last paragraph?A．She is now working as a professor overseas.B．She appreciates the value of her performance.C．She has made a fortune after 20 years’ devotion.D．She has amazed Westerners with her hard work.（2023·江苏南京·校联考模拟预测）Some of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every night when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys. They would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?”I was more than happy to do it. At age five, this kind of task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, and then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and our stable life started getting shaky. He didn’t come home as much as he used to. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. Why didn’t he listen to Mum and just stick to his old job? Why take the risk and place the whole family in trouble? Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Now 28, I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has also started to get back on track. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me went on.Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. On that evening, I helped him carry his bags into his study as usual. When I turned to leave, he asked me to clean his comb. I looked at him for a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.It was a new comb. This one was brown. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. After cleaning it, I passed it back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled, yet his smile was still as heartwarming as before.9．From the first three paragraphs, we can learn .A．the earliest memories with Dad were full of joyB．the precious green comb of Dad was made of jadeC．the author was unwilling to clean the comb for DadD．the author would study together with Dad every evening10．What probably made Dad decide to resign from his original job to start his own business?A．That he was eager to get everything on track.B．That he wanted to keep his family life stable.C．That he was laid off and had to make a living.D．That he hoped to earn a better life for the family. 11．What emotional changes did the author experience when staying with Dad these years?A．cheerful→ mad→ warm.B．mad → satisfied → warm.C．satisfied → worried → angry.D．warm → concerned → uncomfortable.12．What could be the best title for the text?A．A Comb of Jade Green B．Dad’s Wholesale BusinessC．Evenings with My Dad D．My Earliest Memories with Dad（2023秋·江苏常州·高三校联考阶段练习）“Leave him alone!” I yelled as I walked out of the orphanage (孤儿院) gate and saw several bullies pushing the deaf kid around. I knew he lived in the old white house across the street from the orphanage where I lived.“You are a stupid idiot,” said the bigger of the two bullies as he pushed the boy down on the ground. The deaf boy’s body started shaking all over and he curled up in a ball trying to shield and hide his face. He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn’t make any sounds.I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate. I uncovered my home — made bow which I had constructed out of bamboo and string. I grabbed four arrows and then ran back out the gate with an arrow cocked in the bow. I stood there quiet, like, breathing really hard, just daring either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.“You’re a dumb freak just like him,” said one of the boys as he grabbed his friend and back off far enough so that the arrow would not hit them. “If you’re so brave, kick him again now,” I said shaking like a leaf. The bigger of the two bullies ran up and kicked the deaf boy in the middle of his back as hard as he could and then he ran out of arrow range again.The boy was trembling with fear and then made a sound that I would never forget for as long as I live. It was the sound like a whale makes when it has been harpooned (用鱼叉叉) and knows that it is about to die. I fired all four of my arrows at the two bullies as they ran away laughing about what they had done.I pulled the boy up off the ground and helped him back to his house. When we reached his home, his sister told me that her brother could not say or hear anything. I told her that he did make a sound when the bully kickedhim in the back. She told me that I must be mistaken because all her brother’s vocal cords (声带) had been removed during experimental surgery.The boy made one of those hand signs at me as I was about to leave. His sister told me that he was saying that he loved me with his hands. I didn’t say anything back to her at all because, I think, people can’t talk with their hands and everybody knows people can only talk with their mouth.On my very last day in the orphanage I was being chased by the police. They told me that I was being sent off to the Florida School for Boys, a reform school at Marianna, so I ran to get away from them. They chased me around the dining room building several times and finally I rushed for a fence and tried to climb over it to escape.I saw the deaf boy sitting there on his porch just looking at me as they pulled me down from the knee and handcuffed (用手铐铐住) me. The boy placed his fingers through the fence and just stood there looking at us. All I could hear the entire time was the high pitched sound of that whale being harpooned again. As I was pulled away into the police car I saw the deaf boy loosen his firm hold of the fence and slide very slowly to the ground. That was when I realized he probably really did love me and that he wanted to save me because he thought that I too was making the whale sound.13．Why did the author shake like a leaf?A．He got angry over others’ bullying behavior.B．He got upset for being called an idiot.C．He got disappointed by the deaf boy’s reaction.D．He got scared of being kicked by the bullies again.14．Why did the deaf boy make the high-pitched sound again in the last paragraph?A．To prove the author’s innocence.B．To save the author out of trouble.C．To signal the author to trust the police.D．To remind the author to run to the fence.15．Which words can be used to describe the author?A．Just and courageous.B．Helpful and sensitive.C．Sympathetic and modest.D．Considerate and aggressive.16．What is the best title of the story?A．A boy without vocal cords.B．The pure friendship.C．A fight with two bullies.D．The whale sound.（2023秋·江苏盐城·高三江苏省东台中学校考阶段练习）The Twenty-three-year-old Mumbai girl VidhiBubna is offering India’s first and only diving grant to explore the marine ecosystem.Vidhi’s first diving experience turned out to be a heartbreaking one. While she expected a lot of colors underwater as she had seen on TV, Vidhi came across all white corals (珊瑚), which means they are almost dead from being bleached (褪色).“It was very sad and I just started crying after coming out of the water,” she says.Vidhi, an economics graduate from Ashoka University, did not enjoy working with numbers and turned to writing about social issues, including women’s rights and minority issues.As an adventure lover, Vidhi went diving to explore the underwater beauty last year. Her disappointment at seeing dying corals led to the start of Coral Warriors, anon-profit organization that aims to raise awareness of marine protection and climate change.“Nobody knows about climate change till they see it,” Vidhi says. The Mumbai-based organisation offers India’s first and only diving grant. The grant sponsors level-one scuba diving education in any location of their choice in India. While there is no specific standard, Vidhi says the selection process is strict, choosing candidates who are passionate about climate change and seeing that they do something of their choice. Four candidates have been awarded the grant so far and the organisation hopes to find at least five people every year.“After the candidates return, we expect them to work on a climate change project of their choice, create communities, and work to create awareness and drive action-centric projects,” she explains.Prior to starting coral warriors, Vidhi was hosting free online workshops to spread awareness of marine biodiversity and climate change, and has reached about 5, 000 people through them.As a next step, Vidhi is planning to work on documentaries with high-quality underwater images and videos, considering not many can afford or have the courage to go diving to see what is happening underwater. 17．How did Vidhi feel on her first diving?A．Excited.B．Upset.C．Awesome.D．Awkward.18．Why did Vidhi set up Coral Warriors?A．To focus more attention on social issues.B．To further explore the underwater beauty.C．To fuel people’s enthusiasm for adventure.D．To make an appeal for marine conservation.19．What are candidates expected to do?A．To help promote people’s sense of community.B．To choose whatever they are passionate about.C．To meet specific and strict selection standards.D．To undertake activities relevant to climate change.20．What will Vidhi do to protect marine biodiversity?A．Ahoot documentaries.B．Tackle climate change.C．Encourage people to dive.D．Host free online workshops.（2023秋·江苏镇江·高三统考开学考试）On any given day Damon Carson will deal with lots of inquiries from large companies looking to unload massive amounts of stuff that would otherwise go to the landfill (废物填埋场). For example, twenty-eight plastic boxes from a store were just waiting for him to repurpose them. And a recreation company wanted to know if Carson was interested in 360 kilograms of blue ropes“They don’t want to just throw it away,” he explains. “Nor should they. Because it has value. ”The question of what value, and to whom, is what occupies Carson’s days.For nearly a decade, his company, Repurposed Materials, has been devoted to this. He’s not looking to recycle the stuff he gets—breaking it down to make something new—but rather finding new homes for abandoned goods in their original forms.In the late 1990s, Carson was on break from business school, when he discovered the profitable world of waste. He and a friend started a small business near construction sites. Working in construction, Carson had become familiar with an almost-everyday phenomenon: “You’d open up one of these big construction dumpster (大垃圾箱) and stuff would start falling out,” he says. He would find perfectly good wood, or a window still wrapped in plastic from the factory. “You can’t wrap your mind around how wasteful America is until you run a waste company,” he saysThere is a solid environmental case for repurposing, or upcycling. “When people call, I say we don’t chip, grind, melt.” “Carson notes. Recycling, however noble, still takes energy. “Why melt something down, if it still has value?” he asks. An old oil-field pipe might be melted down and turned into a car bumper, but it still takes a fair amount of power to finish the transformation. Why not put it straight up and turn it into a fence post on a farm? The only cost is transport.Carson recently opened two new warehouses (仓库), bringing the total to six. “Corporations(企业) are,” he says, “becoming increasingly focused on sustainability, so we’re upping (使升级) our capabilities. You never know when the next 20,000-kilogram spool of 10-centimeter-thick rope might come along, or where it might go.”21．What does Carson’s company Repurposed Materials do?A．It helps large companies bury waste.B．It warns people against throwing away waste.C．It brings new lives to abandoned stuff.D．It changes the original form of abandoned stuff.22．What advantage does upcycling have over recycling according to Carson?A．It is more logical B．It is more systematicC．It is more formal D．It is more energy-saving23．What caused Carson to consider upping his company’s capabilities?A．Current trend of using heavier ropes.B．Fast development of his warehouses.C．Natural process of treating waste materials.D．Increasing environmental concerns of corporations.24．Which of the following best describes Carson?A．Generous and hard-working B．Intelligent and humorousC．Devoted and forward-looking D．Independent and responsible（2023秋·江苏镇江·高三统考开学考试）Every November, as Thanksgiving Day approaches, one memory comes to my mind. At my big Turkish family’s get-togethers, baklava (果仁蜜饼) is the norm at the dessert table. There’s rolled baklava, nut-filled baklava and chocolate-dipped baklava.One year, though, back when I was in high school, my cousin Johnny decided to change things up a bit. He showed up at my parents’ house for Thanksgiving with two items that had never been served before--apple pie and a can of cream.Those two items caused one of the biggest arguments. I distinctly remember my mom and aunts whispering in the kitchen.“Apple pie?” one of my aunts said. “What to do with this?”I can still recall my mom’s puzzled expression at it all. If there’s one thing in this world my mom distrusts, it’s fruit-filled desserts, a no-no in our cuisine culture. “Why would you bake fruits into a dessert when you can eat them fresh?” she often says.The cream only made things worse. My mom didn’t want to hurt Johnny’s feelings. In a true act of love, she put the pie out on the dining room table, accompanied by the cream. It went mostly untouched.Nowadays, things are different. We actually have pie at Thanksgiving--my mom regularly makes pie (the fear of fruit-filled sweets continues, but desserts topped with fruits or nuts have been given the okay). We still laugh about the drama caused by Johnny’s apple pie. I’ll never forget it. It wasn’t just about the pie for me. Growing up, I sometimes felt like an outsider because of my culture. That Thanksgiving, though, was one of the first times I realized that my family’s oddness was actually a good thing. It’s what made us.What about you? Which Thanksgiving sticks out as your most memorable one?25．The purpose of the first paragraph is to introduce ________.A．the unique family tradition B．the background of the storyC．different kinds of baklava D．the customs of Thanksgiving Day26．Johnny’s apple pie ________.A．ruined the festival atmosphere B．challenged family traditionsC．resulted in a family quarrel D．contributed to a heavy meal27．Which of the following is the best description of the author’s mom?A．Serious and honest.B．Generous and strict.C．Humorous and caring.D．Considerate and flexible.28．What does the underlined sentence “It’s what made us.” in Paragraph 7 imply?A．The author is at ease with his family members.B．The author is aware of the importance of customs.C．Cuisine culture helps shape our identity.D．Culture shocks make a harmonious family.（2023·江苏南京·校联考一模）Get up at 6 am, arrive at the hospital one hour earlier to help patients check in, and accompany patients during consultations… In recent years, “patient escorts” has emerged as a new industry, and those who have taken on this career are known as “people who sell time”, 26-year-old Zhang Tian is one of them.September 4 was a lucky day for Zhang Tian.

How did he do it? Simply put his work principle. He showed up to training every day, no excuses. Without a doubt, it is quite evident that Kobe’s desire for success was directly correlated with his work principle.Kobe Bryant’s work principle is what helped him become the legend he is today. But what also must be understood about Kobe Bryant is that he was relentless (不停的；严格的). He had a mental toughness and steely focus that was driven by his over-the-top competitiveness.In short, Kobe wanted to be the best, and would do whatever it took to achieve this mental goal.

I took a deep breath and carefully considered the idea of welcoming a feline (猫科的) friend into my life.Adopting an animal during the height of the pandemic was far from easy. When my partner and I found Cinnamon, her adoption profile made her out as the perfect kitten. We filled out the paperwork and had a few weeks to prepare for her arrival.When she came home, it became increasingly obvious that Cinnamon didn’t understand “no”, “stop it” or “don’t do that”. She was the worst cat I’ve ever owned. I was beginning to doubt my doctor’s advice.We decided to start taking her for walks. I could barely leave the house before, but my heart couldn’t say no to Cinnamon. Cinnamon showed me what bravery looked like if there was a dog at a park, she would run toward it. She jumped without knowing where she would land. She loved adventure. I found myself mirroring her behavior after a while, jumping out of bed without a second thought. I began to find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.Cinnamon unfortunately passed away after a medical accident, leaving a cat-sized hole in my heart the day she left us at only six months old. I’m no stranger to sadness or grief, but losing my pet so suddenly was the most confusing emotional experience I’ve ever had. She was supposed to help me through more of my life than the three short months we had her.Our time is often cut unpredictably, unmistakably short. It would be a shame to live life being anything less than brave and adventurous.37．Why did the doctor advise the author to get a cat?A．To teach her to interact with animals.B．To assist her to fill up her spare time.C．To help her out of her mental disease.D．To ensure her safety in time of pandemic.38．Which of the following best describes the cat Cinnamon?A．Stupid but lovely.B．Outgoing and aggressive.C．Stubborn but courageous.D．Naughty and adventurous.39．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．Why Cinnamon loved going outside.B．How Cinnamon affected the author positively.C．Why the author decided to take Cinnamon outside.D．How Cinnamon interacted with the author outdoors.40．What message does the story convey?A．The loss of a pet is painful.B．The short life is unpredictable.C．Friendship with pets is helpful.D．The courage to take risks is beneficial.。

高中英语记叙文教案5篇2022英语教案设计是改善课堂教学的一种更高层次的探索，是提高课堂教学质量和效率的一项必要工作，它可以促进教学的系统化，使老师掌握讲课节奏。
以下是小编带来的高中英语记叙文教案内容，感谢您的阅读，希望能帮助到您！高中英语记叙文教案1一、教材分析(一)单元背景分析随着人们物质文化生活水平的提高，曾经一度被忽视的环境已日益为人们所关注，从某种程度上说，环境的优劣已成为衡量生活质量高低、社会进步程度的标志。
相对文物而言，其环境的优劣同样影响文物存在的质量。
然而，在环保意识不断提升的今天，文物环境并没有得到应有的关注。
文物保存环境是指文物所在的空间及可以直接或间接影响文物保存的各种自然因素和人为因素。
在我国，由于受经济条件的制约，自然环境质量的恶化，加上人文环境的影响，文物劣化速度不断加剧，由于环境造成对文物毁坏的例子屡见不鲜，如石质文物风化、金属文物腐蚀、纸张酸度增加、壁(彩)画褪色等等。
文物是祖先留给我们的无价之宝，是金钱买不到的。
日用品坏了，可以再生产制造，文物却不同，它不能再生产，再生产出的东西不是文物，是仿制品或赝品，是没有任何文物价值的。
文物一旦损坏，就永远不能复原。
没有众多的文物史迹，文明古国也就名存实亡，失去其传统的风采和内涵。
文物受损后再修复是被动性的保护措施，而主动性的保护就是创造良好的文物保存环境，防治文物受损才是上策。
保护文物环境，实际上就是保护文物古迹本身。
整治环境不是一件小事，保护文物环境更不是一件容易的事，惟其艰难，需要文物部门付出更多的努力，同时也需要政府和社会的更多支持。
所以，我们要好好爱护文物。
(二)教材内容分析本单元话题——文物古迹(Cultural relics )历来是全世界较为关注的焦点之一，尤其是在伊拉克战争中，大量代表古人类文明的文物、古迹惨遭破坏，甚至毁灭!本单元所采用话题构成了一个现代意义十足的时尚理念，能够充分唤起学生的参与欲望。

高三年级二轮复习阅读理解部分专题之记叙文主备人：李甜云一．记叙文记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手法，以记人、叙事为主要内容的文章。
1传记传记属记叙文的一种，是用来记载人物生平事迹的文章。
在教学过程中，教师要指导学生通过时间和事件的关系把握文章的主线。
此类体裁的文章通常被分为四部分，即A. childhood years B. early manhood C. great achievement D. remarks。
教师应当引导学生按照下列主线来理解传记类文章：人物→时间与事件→成功/成就/信仰→评价。
这样使学生在准确地理解课文的同时，也能学到传记类文章的写作方法。
2故事类故事类文章也是记叙文的一种。
文章多以人物、事件为中心，以时间和空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事。
此类篇章情节性较强，教师可指导学生按照事件叠加、情节逐步展开的特点和解决问题，以人物一系列动作为线索的显著特征进行略读，即可以较快地获得篇章的主要信息。
然后，教师再引导学生按照situation→problem→actions→conclusion迅速、准确地理解和掌握文章的细节。
二．“八字诀”：综观理脉检索整合一、综观——握要。
首先着眼于文章的整体，注意理清内部的相互关系，从宏观上居高临下地驾驭文章，领会文章的主旨内涵。
其次还要看文章的作者、写作时间和文后的注释等，特别要浏览一下后面问了哪些问题，从题目的选项中揣测文章的主旨，明确作者的主要写作意图。
二、理脉——分层。
磨刀不误砍柴功。
把握了全篇的主旨，理清了文章的脉络，再解答后面的问题，就如顺风行船，事半功倍。
可是有些考生不在这方面下功夫，走马观花地看一遍文章，似懂非懂，就急于解答后面的问题，结果是欲速则不达，不仅费时费力，还容易答错。
三、检索——筛选。
先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域，确定对应的语句，题目一般是从选文里有可能被考生忽略且又不一定真懂的地方抽出来编成各种形式的问题，用来考查学生的理解能力。
答案要从选文里找，准确抓住关键语句。
只要认真揣摩上下文意，大多数题目的答案在原文中是能够“抠”出来的。
四、整合——审查。
应注意几点答题要求：1、看是否要用自己的话；2、看要求是否有字数限制(没有要求在简练的基础上多多益善)；3、注意表述的范围、角度和方式，用规范的语言表达。
三．要求能力1、理解语篇主旨大意2、理解文章具体信息3、根据上下文推断生词的词义4、做出简单判断和推理5、理解文章的基本结构6、理解作者的观点、意图和态度四题型动态1、主旨大意题2、细节理解题3、词义判断题4、推断题5、观点态度题1 主旨大意题文章主旨给出的四种形式:文首,文中,文尾,没有明确主旨,需总结。
虽然作者表达主题思想的方式不同，但命题常用的提问方式有以下几种：★做题要领：文章主旨通常会出现在文首,文中或文尾，因此寻找主题句或主题段往往是做好此类题的键。
但当文中没有直接出现主题句，应对文章意思全面理解后归纳概括主旨，但不能太笼统即不切主题,言过其实或以偏概全。
2 细节理解题这类题目是针对文章的具体事实和细节而出,因此通常能在文章中直接或间接地找到答案.此类要求查找重要事实和细节的试题通常以下列形式提出：How does the author/writer feel about___?3词义／语义判断题这类考题常见的提问方式有以下几种：Acco rding to the author, the underlined word”…” means____.From the passage, we can infer that the word”…”is___.★“…” can be best replaced by___.What does the author probably mean by”…”?By”…”, the author means that___★做题要领做此类题时，应在文中找线索或信息词。
根据上下文判断新词汇在特定句中确切意思。
根据周围熟悉的词及语义判断新单词之意，有时还需依靠构词法。
4推断题以原文内容为前提,透过现象看本质即透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思。
根据作者的观点理论客观地对文中未明显说明的现象或事例给予合理的逻辑推断，做出一定解释。
推断题的常见形式：It can be inferred / concluded from the text that____.★From the text we know that ______.The passage implies that ______.The paragraph following the passage will most probably discusses______.解推断题的方法：解推断题最主要的方法是根据语义关系推断具体细节。
5 观点态度题回答这类问题应从篇章的体裁入手.一般来说,在说明文中作者的态度是客观的或中立的;在议论文中,作者的态度才会显得多种多样. 可以根据阐述主题或有关主题的相关语句或词语确定作者的态度。
常见的态度词语有:positive support approval(赞同的）optimistic★critical negative tolerant disappointedpessimistic(悲观的) indifferent(冷淡的) doubtfulNeutral(中立的）objective(客观的）这类考题常见的提问方式有以下几种:五．实战练习。
（I）The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year，but it's always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus' resurrection（复活）from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs，they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year. Still dozens of other Easter traditions exist. In parts of Austria，for example，children sing from door to door and are rewarded with colorful eggs.1．Easter comes _______.A. on the same date every yearB. on Sunday on March 22C. on Sunday on April 25D. on a Sunday between March 22 and April 252．To celebrate Easter, people ___________.A. go shopping, hide colored eggs and children hunt for themB. give Easter baskets filled candy and goodies to one anotherC. buy new clothes, hide colored eggs and children look for them around the houseD. both B and C3．For Christians the more important thing to do on Easter is________.A. going to church to celebrate Jesus' resurrectionB. buying new clothesC. eating delicious food and paint color eggsD. exchange beautiful gifts each other4．People from different cultures have different ideas about Easter egg _________.A.

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. "But the desk," she said again, "is for Elizabeth."I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But asa young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was "too emotional (易动感情的)". But she lived "on the surface (表面)".As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace - it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside - a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter."In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words."1．The writer began to love her mother's desk________.A．after Mother died B．before she became a writerC．when she was a child D．when Mother gave it to her2．The passage shows that_________.A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB．Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD．Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words3．The underlined word "gulf" in the passage means_______.A．deep understanding between the old and the youngB．different ideas between mother and daughterC．free talks between mother and daughterD．part of the sea going far in land4．What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?A．She had never received the letter.B．For years, she often talked about the letter.C．She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D．She read the letter again and again till she died.5．What's best title of the passage?A．My letter to Mother B．Mother and childrenC．My Mother's Desk D．Talks between Mother and me1-5 CABDC（III）Mr. Black and Mr. White were two very famous artists in the city. Their drawings were also very popular in the city. But they tried to see who could draw the best picture.One day they asked an old man to be the judge. Mr. Black drew an apple tree. He put his picture in the field. Soon the birds came and tried to eat the apples. The old man saw it and said, "You have certainly won. Mr. White cannot draw so good a picture as yours. But we will go to see his picture."They went to Mr. White's house. There were nothing but red beautiful curtains on the wall. The old man asked, "Where is your picture, Mr. White?" He said, "Lift the curtains, and you will find my picture." The old man tried to lift the curtains but found that they were drawn there. They were Mr. White's picture.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? _________.A.
