2024年中考英语二轮复习专题:阅读理解之记叙文(广东广州专用)ANow, studying online has become a common way of learning. The biggest difference between studying online and studying in school is that our teachers can’t ▲ us all the time, so we should be able to control ourselves. I didn’t know this at first. During our online classes, I often got distracted by my mobile phone.For this reason, I didn’t do well in the midterm exam. At that time, I realized that I had to do something to improve my online study habits, so I made up my mind to concentrate (集中注意力) on the online classes. Finally, I made much progress in the final exam. Now I want to offer you some ways I used to improve my learning during the online classes. Firstly, make a list of what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. Try your best to follow it. Don’t set your aims too high at first, because proper aims can help you to make the list work. Secondly, keep your mobile phones out of your reach when you study. Give them to your parents if necessary. Thirdly, make efforts to review and overcome your shortcomings in the process of review. You can ask your teachers for help or work with your classmates.In general, we should stick to keeping good learning habits all the time. I hope that all students can study better both online andoffline.1.Which word can be put in ____ ▲ ___ in paragraph 1 A.direct B.protect C.follow2.The writer improved his learning by ________.①setting a high aim at the beginning of his learning② making a list of what he should do and what he should n’t do③ making efforts to review and overcome his shortcoming④keeping the mobile phones away from him when he studied A.①②③ B.①②④ C.②③④3.The writer writes the passage to ________.A.introduce good ways about how to reviewB.tell us the advantages about studying onlineC.share experience and give advice about online learning 4.What’s the correct structure of this passageA.B.C.【答案】1.C 2.C 3.C 4.B【导语】本文主要讲述了在线学习的常见方式以及与传统学校学习的区别。

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. Then he lifted out a bag full of money and took out some coins.The two boys forgot all their fears. There was real treasure downstairs.—Adapted from the Adventures of Tom Sawyer1.Except Tom and Huck, how many people are mentioned in the passage?A.1.B.2.C.3.D.4.2.According to Tom, what may not be included in the hidden treasure?A.Dollars.B.Diamonds.C.Golds.D.Silvers.3.How did Tom and Huck feel when they found the two men downstairs?A.Worried.B.Excited.C.Afraid.D.Happy.4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Tom thought Spaniards liked hiding treasure.B.The two man got the $650 through robbery.C.The two man took the $650 away.D.The two men hid the money under the floor.5.Why didn’t Tom and Huck feel frightened at last?A.The two man made friends with them.B.Their attention was caught by the money.C.They left the house and ran away.D.They decided to fight with the two man.(2023·江苏无锡·江苏省锡山高级中学实验学校校考一模)Growing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. 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. When they came to a pretty garden, he called to his mother and said, “Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.Frank’s mother thanked the man. Turning to her son, she said, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with (乱动) anything in it.”Frank walked along the paths and looked at everything, but touched nothing. He was careful that his clothes should not brush the tops of the flowers in case he might break them.The gardener was very pleased with Frank because he was so careful not to make trouble. He showed him the seeds (种子) and told him what the flowers and plants were.While Frank was admiring the beauty of a flower, a boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he said, “Let me in. Let me in. Will you not let me in this garden?”“No,” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, for when I let you in yesterday, you meddled with my flowers, and even picked some fruit.

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. The boy turned his head and stared (注视) at her.“Who are you?” he whispered. “Are you a ghost?”“No,” Mary answered. “Are you a ghost?”He stared at her with his big eyes.“No,” he replied. “I am Colin. Colin Craven. Who are you?”“I am Mary Lennox. Mr Craven is my uncle.”“He’s my father,” said the boy.“Your father! I didn’t know that he had a son!” shouted Mary. “Why were you crying?”“I was sad and my head hurt.”“Did the servants (仆人) tell you about me?” asked Mary.“No, because they know that I don’t want to see people.”“Why not?”“People talk about me because I’m always ill. I don’t like it. My father doesn’t like it either. But I’m going to die. 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. His father gave him everything he asked for.

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.

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.

At night, the 26-year-old young man, taking off his helmet (头盔) and blue jacket, dives into small theaters where he is going to use stand-up comic sets inspired by his personal stories as a deliveryman to make people laugh.In 2019, he found that running errands can bring him a good income. Then he moved from his hometown to Xi’an, and became a deliveryman. He turned all the hardships he has been going through these years into funny jokes, which brings a refreshing life. For him, the skill of humor is not something he was born with, but what he has been diligently (勤奋地) training with his sincerity and eagerness to get a better life.On a freezing winter night, he stopped for a while in a bar after finishing the errands and heard rounds of cheers and laughs coming from the bar, and he was told that it was an open-mic event for stand-up comedy (脱口秀) . He was crazy with the joyous atmosphere into which he wanted to get himself integrated. The club owner later sent him a guidebook for stand-up comedy and gave him a chance to go on stage. His performance attracted wider attention and he received an invitation from the Shanghai-based comedy company Xiaoguo Culture to join a comic training camp last year.

The students have only been in the US for a few weeks or months. Many students were from different countries last year. Woods Chan became concerned when she started hearing the Spanish-speaking students laugh when their classmates spoke Mam or Arabic.Woods Chan came up with an idea. She asked her students to take turns teaching a little bit of their home language each day. Students taught their partners how to count from 1 to 10, how to introduce themselves and how to say basic phrases or words like “Cool”. Then, they recorded themselves saying those phrases in short videos and wrote vocabulary words on the whiteboard.Woods Chan saw the difference in her students. She said they grew more confident after seeing their own language on the whiteboard and hearing it in the videos. They started making friends with each other across cultural lines. Other students who were not in that class would come in and see something written in Mam on the whiteboard and say, “Hey, that’s Mam! I speak Mam!”The project also helped students understand their partners better. Orlando, a 17-year-old student from El Salvador, said he never knew Arabic or Mam, even existed before he came to the US and heard his classmates talk. Now, he thinks it would be good for all students in his school to learn a little of their partners’ home languages. “When I first got here,” he said in Spanish, “I thought, ‘No one talks like me. I’m the only one, and I felt lonely.’ Now, I don’t feel so bad anymore.”Knowledge of other languages can help Woods Chan’s students beyond the classroom, too. Languages like Mam are becoming more and more common in the US. Some Oakland graduates have gone on to become Mam-English interpreters (口译员) to help fill a lack of interpreters in all kinds of settings.9.What made Woods Chan think of the idea?A.Some of her students making fun of other languages.B.Her students hardly using their home languages.C.Her students being interested in learning a new language.D.Her students having difficulty communicating with each other.10.What was the students’ feeling of seeing their home languages written on the whiteboard?A.Angry but accepting.B.Excited and proud.C.Worried but supportive.D.Relaxed and creative.11.What effect did Woods Chan’s project have on Orlando?A.It made him feel less lonely at school.B.It encouraged him to get a job as an interpreter.C.It helped him understand his home language better.D.It enabled him to work better in foreign language classes.12.What can be the best title for the text?A.School Is Not the Only Place to Learn B.All Her Students Are Language TeachersC.She Replies to Her Students’ Needs Quickly D.Language Is Not a Block to Communication(2023秋·北京·高一统考期中)When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me!” she cried. “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!”Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess (困境), when suddenly an idea came to me.Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”She nodded.“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with thingsonly you can do.”She looked up at me and said, “I understand.

After all, she’s already got her master’s degree.The North Chicago-area girl started homeschooling at the age of 4. She began having an influence on others soon after. When she was 6 years old, she was an inspirational (鼓舞人心的) speaker at an organization called Tabitha House Community Service, a shelter for people who were forced to leave their homes due to the situations such as earthquakes, flood and other natural disasters.At the age of 11, she graduated from high school and then earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2013. She completed those classes online as she was traveling for leadership meetings.She doesn’t stop there, though. The girl plans to focus on aviation psychology (航空心理学) for her further study, a decision inspired by her father who is a pilot. She grew up around airplanes and took flights all the time.Her goal is to use it to determine whether pilots are dealing with problems that could have deadly results once the plane takes off — a topic that has been in the news lately. For her, it’s a mix of two of her interests.In her free time, Thessalonika enjoys playing tennis, swimming and being active in her youth group. She also has three self-published books, which are on her site. Jump the Education Barrier is written to help students finish college, and In the Future aims to help business owners deal with trends.

It had been my dream to attend the famous carnival for many years, so I was excited. However, the moment I arrived, I was a little bit nervous because there were so many people on the streets. They say that five or six million people come to Rio during carnival time and about two million of them are on the streets on any givenday. Luckily, I had a local guide, my sisterˈs friend Ronnie. He said he would take care of me and show me all the highlights. He did not let me down.The carnival is most definitely all about the samba. Itˈs a style of music and dance which has its roots in Africa. Lots of Africans were used as slave labor by the Portuguese when Brazil was being colonized (殖民), so this mixed culture of African, Latin and European styles is really strong here. Samba music is usually fast and exciting with a lot of drums and harmonic vocals (和声). Itˈs the kind of music that you canˈt help dancing to, and I was learning that as I followed Ronnie through the crowd, my hips and shoulders were swinging (摇摆) almost involuntarily.Ronnie had got us tickets for the samba parade, the symbol of Brazilian culture, inside the Sambadrome where the top samba schools compete for the championship title, but we still had a long way to go through the street parties. He said most people enjoy the carnival by making their own parties in the street. About the samba parade, twelve main teams compete for the championship, and if they win, their performance will be talked about for years to come. So, you must be wondering how it was. Well, Iˈm afraid I canˈt tell you. Ronnie and I never made into the Sambadrome. We spent the day moving from one street party to another. There were more snacks, more drinks and lots of dancing. Do I regret missing the main parade? Not at all. I experienced the carnival like the locals, and it was truly amazing.21.What made the author nervous in the beginning?A.Busy schedule.B.The big crowd.C.No local guide.D.Culture shock.22.What can we learn about samba from this passage?A.It has its origin in America.B.It is not the taste of the author.C.It has a long and mixed culture.D.Its music is usually slow and soft.23.The author didnˈt regret missing the parade because ________.A.she met some amazing local peopleB.she didnˈt have the tickets for the paradeC.she celebrated the festival in a local wayD.she enjoyed herself by making her own parties24.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To recommend a helpful guide.B.To tell a painful history of Rio de Janeiro.C.To encourage people to learn samba.D.To share an unforgettable experience.(2023春·山东青岛·高一统考期中)Recently I was watching a talk show hosted by a comedian called Trevor Noah from South Africa. The part which struck me most was his advice about travelling. He said, “The one thing you will never waste your money on is travelling. Travel broadens the mind. It is the antidote to ignorance (无知).” In my opinion this statement should be everyone’s life motto (座右铭).This year I’ve had the opportunity to do a lot of travelling around Europe and it has shown me first hand how much you can learn and develop by visiting different places. It is so wonderful to be able to go to a different country, listen to the different languages, try local food and experience the different culture.I’ve personally noticed how different I am since I started exploring more. It involves being able to find good train or plane tickets, getting yourself to the airport, not to mention trying to find your way around a completely new city. While it can be scary at first, after a few trips you realize that Google Maps is your best friend and it really isn’t that difficult to figure out public transport. Travelling also helps you develop your organization skills! It is basic to figure out how to get to different tourist attractions and plan your time wisely. However, it is also nice to learn to relax. On top of that, hotels are a great way to meet new people from all around the world. It is fantastic when young people from different parts of the world come together; I’ve met so many strange and wonderful people this way.As far as I can see, travel as much as possible, because the experiences you will gain from travelling can’t be taught at school and they will change your life.25.What do the underlined words “antidote to” mean in the first paragraph?A.Replacement of.B.Development of.C.Treatment for.D.Agreement to.26.How will the author describe his trip to Europe?A.Busy.B.Hard.C.Rich.D.Costly.27.What has happened to the author since he began traveling?A.He has become more confident and independent.B.He has developed a skill to select tourist attractions.C.He has found it hard to figure out public transport.D.He has made many friends from all over the world.28.Which section is the text most likely to appear in a newspaper?A.News.B.Education.C.Opinions.D.Health.(2023春·江苏泰州·高一泰州中学校考阶段练习)Johan Clarey tends not to be in much of a rush when it comes to anything other than speeding down a hill on skis. Add Olympic success to the list of things he’s waited for.The Frenchman, who turned 41 in January, became the oldest man to win an Olympic medal in Alpine skiing in history when he claimed a silver behind Beat Feuz of Switzerland in the downhill at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, breaking Bode Miller’s record by five years.“Everything came late in my life. Since I was a young boy, that’s what my mother said,” Clarey said. “I take extra time to do everything — walking, speaking and everything. Apparently, my career started quite the same.”This was Clarey’s fourth Olympics and realistically his last chance of being on the podium (领奖台) at the Olympics. “I took a lot of risks. I knew I had only one chance left in my career to get a medal in the Olympics,” he said. “And when I was going down, I knew I made a good run, but you never know in downhill skiing. Sometimes you’re fast, but sometimes you’re not. You never know why. But today was fast.” This was only Clarey’s second medal at a major championship; he also took home a silver in the super-G at the 2019 world championships.And this big moment almost didn’t happen: Clarey had considered retirement. He said he’s been having doubts about whether to continue competing for six years. The Frenchman said, “At 35, I said to myself, You have to do one year by one year.” That, he says now, was “a good choice”, because he has the medal to prove it. Clarey is still not quite ready to quit. He will turn his attention back to the World Cup circuit.29.What do we know about Clarey as a boy?A.He was gifted in snow sports.B.He preferred skiing to other sports.C.He got an early start on his future career.D.He seemed to mature later than his peers.30.What was Clarey’s achievement at the Beijing Olympic Winter Games?A.He won the championship in Alpine skiing.B.He competed in Alpine skiing for the first time.C.He won his first Olympic medal in Alpine skiing.D.He was the first Frenchmen to medal in Alpine skiing.31.What does Clarey now think of his decision at age 35?A.It was rewarding.B.It was too costly.C.It was a joke.D.It was a coincidence.32.What can we learn from Clarey’s story?A.Actions speak louder than words.B.Ups and downs make one strong.C.The early bird catches the worm.D.Determination is the key to success.(2023秋·贵州黔西·高一统考期末)A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.33.A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.A.English idioms were not importantB.my teacher didn’t emphasize the importance of themC.I had no interest in themD.I didn’t realize the importance of English idioms34.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.The Englishman left China without seeing the Great Wall.B.The Englishman thought the Great Wall is worth visiting.C.The Englishman wanted to see the Great Wall after I talked about it.D.The Englishman wanted me to act as his guide.35.At first, on hearing “You don’t say!” I thought the foreigner meant ________.A.he was only interested in the Great WallB.he was not interested in the topicC.I had talked too muchD.I had to stop talking36.After the Englishman explained the idiom, ________.A.I felt very foolishB.I thought the Englishman had made me a foolC.the Englishman became a real foolD.I became more carefully in everything(2023·全国·高一专题练习)In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighbourhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbours.It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbours. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.37.Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they .A.want to be as rich as their neighborsB.want others to know or to think that they are richC.don’t want others to know they are richD.want to be happy38.It can be inferred from the story that rich people like to .A.live outside New York City B.live in New York CityC.live in apartments D.have many neighbors39.Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is .A.an important name B.a popular name in the United StatesC.his neighbor’s name D.not a good name40.According to the writer, it is to keep up with the Joneses.A.correct B.interesting C.impossible D.good参考答案:1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

Is that a bad thing?”“Sure it is,”said his father.“I’ll do it after school, Dad,” said Vicky. “My first class is geography and Mr. Miller hates people to be late.”And off she ran through the front door.Twenty minutes later, Vicky ran into her classroom.“Today,” said Mr. Miller, “we’re going to learn about hurricanes. Have any of you seen a hurricane?” Vicky thought about her bedroom, but she said nothing.“I haven’t seen one. Not a real one but I watched a program on TV and I know they destroy things and leave a mess,”said James who sat next to Vicky.“Yes,”said Mr. Miller. “But today I’m going to surprise you. Sometimes hurricanes do good.”“Hurricanes can be good things?”Vicky asked.“Oh, yes,”said Mr. Miller.“Hurricanes bring a lot of water to rivers and lakes that are becoming dry. Animals and fish come back to live in them. Hurricanes also pick up heat from the very hot areas of the world and drop it in less warm places.”“So, hurricanes can be good things,”Vicky said to herself.“I’m going to show Mom the good part.”When Vicky got home in the afternoon, she began to clean up her bedroom. She put all of her things in their proper places.“Mom,”she called.“Can you come here for a minute?”Vicky’s mother put her head around the door.“Vicky!”she said. “That looks fantastic! I told your dad this morning that it looked as if a hurricane had hit it!”“Are you sure that’s a bad thing, Mom?”asked Vicky, smiling.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

考点巩固卷阅读理解之记叙文2023年高考真题【2023▪新高考I卷】When John Todd was a child,he loved to explore the woods around his house,observing how nature solved problems.A dirty stream,for example,often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived.When he got older,John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.After studying agriculture,medicine,and fisheries in college,John went back to observing nature and asking questions.Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria(细菌)?Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals?With the right combination of animals and plants,he figured,maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did.He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge(污泥).First,he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other.Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals.He placed them in the tanks and waited.Little by little,these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem.After a few weeks,John added the sludge.He was amazed at the results.The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it!Within weeks,it had all been digested,and all that was left was pure water.Over the years,John has taken on many big jobs.He developed a greenhouse—like facility that treated sewage(污水)from1,600homes in South Burlington.He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou,a city in southeast China.“Ecological design”is the name John gives to what he does.“Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,”he says.“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening.Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”4.What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs?A.He was fond of traveling.B.He enjoyed being alone.C.He had an inquiring mind.D.He longed to be a doctor.5.Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?A.To feed the animals.B.To build an ecosystem.C.To protect the plants.D.To test the eco-machine.6.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou?A.To review John’s research plans.B.To show an application of John’s idea.C.To compare John’s different jobs.D.To erase doubts about John’s invention.7.What is the basis for John’s work?A.Nature can repair itself.anisms need water to survive.C.Life on Earth is diverse.D.Most tiny creatures live in groups.【答案】4.C5.D6.B7.A【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

“To be honest, I was surprised by his age,” said Sano’s surfing teacher. “I was worried that he would get hurt. I did not know how fit he was.”
Sano still works 9-to-5 at his job. Surfing helps make him less stressed. “People often say that surfing is life itself,” he said. “I think it is true.”
Bostic hurried the four girls into the fresh air. “Anybody else in there?” Bostic asked.
“Kaylani is in there! We can’t find her!” Seionna, the eldest of the girls, screamed referring to her six-year-old sister. Withouthesitating, Bostic ran back inside.
But maybe he will just keep surfing. “I think it would be interesting to try to surf until I’m 100,” Sano said. “I think I take better care of myself when I have dreams like this. Even now, I take better care of myself than I did before.”

When he was nine years old, American boy Milo Cress had a question: How many plastic straws (吸管) do Americans use every day?He quickly learned there wasn't a simple answer. The boy tried to work it out himself. Through lots of research, Cress found out that Americans use about 500 million straws every day. In hopes of reducing plastic waste, he founded the Be Straw Free project in 2011.Cress started the project in his hometown – Burlington, Vermont. He asked a local restaurant to stop offering straws with every drink order. It was a simple change. However, it would save money. And by doing that, the restaurant would cut down on its straw use by 50 percent.For the years that followed, Cress tried to spread his project across the United States. More and more restaurants agreed to join. They stop providing the customer with a straw unless he or she asks for one. Last April, Seattle became the first American city to completely ban (禁止)plastic straws.Plastic pollution has been one of the most serious problems today. According to scientists, more than eight million tons of plastic end up in the ocean each year. Plastic straws are especially terrible. They make it easy for people to get comfortable with single-use plastics.After his project became popular, Cress took his findings on the road. He has since spoken to tens of thousands of students around the world. He wants to encourage more people to say no to plastic straws."Focusing(聚焦) on straws is one simple step we all could take," Cress says.

She's so happy, and the dog is happy, too! "I want to call him Eco," says Holly. "Come here, Eco!" And Eco wags (摇摆) his tail."That dog is your responsibility (责任), Holly," says her father. "No problem!" Holly agrees.Before school, Holly takes Eco for his first morning walk. She feels very tired. It's really cold and dark—and it's so early! But Eco doesn't mind. He runs, stops, runs again, sees a black cat, tries to run after it and nearly pulls Holly off her feet!Holly realizes it's late when she gets back from the walk. She quickly eats a piece of bread, takes her bag andjacket, and runs to school.What a busy morning! But that's not all for looking after a pet dog.When Holly takes Eco for his evening walk, it's quite dark outside. Holly feels nervous. She runs along the road with him, but it's difficult. Because Eco often stops to study the bushes and trees. And he often tries to catch birds, or play with sticks and fallen leaves.A few days go by. Then…It's raining outside. Eco enters…and the trouble starts. Eco's dirty paws leave prints everywhere, on the floor, on the blanket, on the sofa…"Come here, Eco!" says Holly. She wants to stop him, but it doesn't work.Holly gets really angry now. She decides to punish Eco. So that night Eco is kept in the green house alone.When Holly enters the green house next morning, it's a disaster. Her mum's plants and flowers are lying on their sides or on the floor. And the pots (花盆) are broken into a hundred pieces. And Eco is sitting in the soil and leaves. "Oh, no," says Holly. She realizes it's time to train the dog. "He needs to know the rules."Every day after school, Holly repeats simple orders to Eco. If he can do as ordered, he can get nice bones. The amazing thing is, Eco really enjoys it.

"Follow me!" No one moved."No, seriously," Henry said. "You know I'm always running late. I know every shortcut in town." The others finally agreed.A few sharp turns, and they were there! This time Amy read the clue aloud: Now go to the place where the football is running around!"The football stadium!" They called out together and started to run…Now they'd got the final clue: Look where you've been, see where you are. Use your map wisely and you'll be a star!Looking closely at the map, everyone thought hard."Aha! A star!" Cindy suddenly broke the silence. She quickly took out a pencil.As they watched her drawing lines on the map, everyone understood.They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer, and finally crossed the finish line-just one step behind the Red Team!"So…close…" Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together."Nice job, new girl," Cindy gave Amy a high-five."That was really fun," said Henry.

"Twenty-four points,"Devin said."That's great."Jordan's best was 19 points.He was the league's top scorer.When his parents showed up at the gym,Jordan brought the program over to them.His dad laughed."I had quite a game that day,"he said."But look at the score.I prefer to trade all my points for a win."Jordan hadn't noticed that his dad's team had lost by one point."That was a great group of teammates," Dad said."I'm still friends with a lot of them."As game time came near,Jordan slapped hands with his teammate Tara and then started to warm up.The courts filled up quickly.Jordan felt strangely calm.He'd played so many games in this gym that it was like his own home.Jordan had led his team to a victory over the Lions last season.Why shouldn't today be like that?Jordan grew even more confident when he hit the first 2 shots(投篮).The Lions called a break.Jordan ran to the bench and jumped up and down with excitement."Great start,"Coach said."But those guys are tough.They'll come back on us."He was right.By half time,the Lions had pulled ahead,27-24.Jordan looked up at his parents.His dad nodded and called,"Great work!"But Jordan didn't feel quite as confident as he had before.The teams traded baskets throughout the second half,with neither building a lead.Eleven seconds left.The scoreboard was clear:LIONS 51.BADGERS 51.Coach told Jordan to bring the ball up the court."Look for Devin inside,but take the shot if you're open,"he said. Jordan glanced at his dad again.His dad pointed to Jordan,then held up two fingers on one hand and three fingers on the other."Me?"Jordan mouthed.Dad nodded.Jordan had scored 23 points.Another basket would break the record.And it was the right time to do it! Jordan ran right,then left,but he was still a long way from the basket.The viewers started counting the seconds."Four …three …two."Jordan rose to shoot.As the Lions rushed toward him,he passed the ball to Devin—wide open near the basket. Devin turned and shot.The ball fell cleanly through the net for the winning points."Yes!"Jordan shouted.After celebrating with his team,he ran to hug his parents."You still have the record,"he told his dad.Dad smiled."You have something more important.A championship.And great teammates.Congratulations on your history!"30.Which of the following is true according to the article?______A.

记叙文——2024届高考英语高考阅读理解文体分类练(含答案)

记叙文——2024届高考英语高考阅读理解文体分类练学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读理解2012 was one of the hardest years I have ever known because I lost my husband. For several months, I found it hard to write, think, eat or take pleasure in anything; I could not imagine what it would be like to feel happy again; I could not find any hope or purpose.I cannot remember the reason why one Monday morning I decided to go to a hot yoga(瑜伽) studio in east London, where I signed up for a 30-day trial. I do not remember the class or how much I sweated. What I do know is that I started going to hot yoga every day. Sometimes, when my head felt as if it might break me down, I went twice a day. I skipped parties, left social events and got up early to attend. There was something about the hot room that held me together, stopping all the dark thoughts inside my mind.I chose the Bikram method of hot yoga: It has a set of 26 postures and two breathing exercises performed in heat over a period of 90 minutes. This form of yoga was founded by Bikram Choudhury. In 2015, he failed in an attempt to copyright his method. Many practitioners (从业人员) believe that Bikram is not real yoga. Some question the limitations of just 26 postures (姿势). Others wonder why the class has to be performed before a wall of mirrors. However, something in those 26 postures freed my mind, dragged me out of my thoughts and back into the present. I was able to focus on how my body behaved differently each day.1.What happened to the author in 2012?A.She fell into deep depression.B.She tried to find hope againC.She gave up her yoga classes.D.She succeeded in writing.2.What can be inferred about the author from the second paragraph?A.She practiced hot yoga to lose weight.B. She went to the yoga studio once every day.C.She attached importance to her yoga classesD. She was sorry to skip parties to go to the yoga studio3.How did yoga help the author?A.It helped her make moneyB.It helped her feel more focusedC.It helped her get to know its founder.D.It helped her practice her performance skills.4.Where is this text most likely from?A. Science fiction.B. A travel brochure.C. A research paper.D. A health magazineLife has been hard for Chinese villager Zu Wenbao, who is in his early 20s. But thanks to Beijing-based Chen's Studio, music has become his saving grace. Zu has autism (自闭症) , which has meant Zu was unable to fit in at school or among other young people. All that changed when he started learning music at Chen's Studio.Zu, joined the five-studio school in 2020.He has since learned to play the keyboard, and sings along with the other members of the "Star Kids "band that their teacher, Chen Shensi, set up in 2021 for people with autism. "Without music and band, he wouldn't have any peers to socialise with, "said Zu's mother, who travels with her son every Sunday for two hours on three different buses from their current home in the suburb of Beijing so that he can attend classes. "Even though some kids taking music classes are younger than him and half his size, they all take care of him like he's their brother."Eager to help more people with autism, Chen started free-of-charge lessons. "Life for them has been hard, and I wanted to do as much as I could to give them joy through music, "he said. Chen admits he was very frustrated at first with his students because he had to repeat himself many times. Disciplining the class was also tough, but eventually, the students started communicating better with him and each other.People with autism tend to find it difficult to get jobs, but Chen hopes he can change that by giving his students a way to earn a living: the "Star Kids" band has already performed in several concerts at events held at campsites on the suburbs of Beijing. "It's just difficult for them to communicate normally with other people, let alone work in a typical job, but they might be able to make a living as artists. To some degree, I think music might be their language, "Chen said.5.What might be the main reason for Zu attending Chen's studio?A.Chen found Zu's talent for keyboard.B.Chen's studio was the best in Beijing.C.Zu was born enthusiastic about music.D.Zu couldn't integrate into a normal school.6.What did Zu gain from Chen's studio?A.Attention from society.B.Extraordinary musical skills.C.Admiration of other students.D.Chances to communicate with peers. 7.Which of the following words can best describe Chen?A.Creative and generous.B.Devoted and intelligent.C.Responsible and caring.D.Considerate and cooperative.8.What is the intention of Chen setting up the studio?A.To instruct his students to get a degree in music and language.B.To help his students master a way to earn a living through music.C.To teach some communication skills to his students with autism.D.To make money through performing concerts at the edge of Beijing.It was early winter several years ago. I had pulled out my old winter coat for another year’s use. It was still in pretty good shape although it was looking dirty from so many winters’ wear. I didn’t really need a new one but I wanted one and casually mentioned it to my daughter one day. She was such a sweet, loving girl that I should have guessed what would happen next. A few weeks later she gave me a new winter coat as a gift.I put the old one in my closet and started to wear the new coat every day. Each day, though, when I opened my closet, something troubled me. It seemed a shame that my old but still good coat should just sit there keeping no one warm during the cold winter days. After a few weeks, I took it out and drove to a local charity shop. I knew that there was someone who couldn’t afford a coat but could get my old one.My new coat is my old coat now. It is getting a little dirty and worn, too. It has black marks on the sleeves. It is in too bad shape to even donate to charity. I wonder if I should buy a new one soon, but I think I will wait for a while. I don’t really need a new one and maybe I can find something else to give to the charity shop instead.Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.” Perhaps the best way to deal with our wants then is to give instead. Love, after all, brings us the most joy. And the more of it you give away, the more of it you have.9.Which word can best describe the author’s daughter?A. Wealthy.B. Thoughtful.C. Easy-going.D. Humorous.10.Why was the author in shame when seeing his old coat in the closet?A. It cost too much.B. It was looking dirty.C. There was not enough room for his new coat.D. It was not sent to someone in need.11.What is th e author’s decision after his second coat becomes old?A. Telling his daughter.B. Buying a new one soon.C. Donating it to charity.D. Sending something else to charity.12.What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?A. Giving fills our wants.B. Love is the key to joy.C. The more you give, the more you lose.D. A coat is large enough to cover our wants.The Price of a DreamI grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was afraid of this, but my mother said, “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why I dream of buying my mom a house.“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.“Three point twenty-five an hour,” I replied.“Well,” he asked, “is $3. 25 an hour the price of a dream?”That question exposed the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20, 000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother my dream house. 13.Why was the writer grateful to Coach Jarvis?A. Because Coach Jarvis made him set a goal.B. Because Coach Jarvis supplied him with new clothes.C. Because Coach Jarvis gave him financial support.D.

Refuse the job offer for summer baseball.C. Give up summer baseball for the job.D. Ask his coach Jarvis for advice.15.Which of t he following can replace the underlined part “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.” in paragraph 4?A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.16.What did the writer do at the end of the story?A. He failed to buy his mother a house.B. He succeeded as a sportsman.C. He became a successful businessman.D. He made some money in the summer job.Culture shock is a broad term for a series of personal difficulties that people go through in new places ant is usually most extreme for those who can not speak the language of the place they have moved to or for those who aren’t familiar with the social r ules. Both of these things applied to me in China when I moved there in 2011. So, naturally I went through the full well-known stages of culture shock: the honeymoon, frustration, adjustment and acceptance.When I arrived I was excited and optimistic but I quickly became annoyed by cultural differences, missing how things worked back home.By the end of my first year I had totally lost my self confidence and I became a bit clumsy and sensitive person and I thought it was China that made me that way.Then in my second year I started to pick up some language skills and I found fun activities to do in my spare time. I made great foreign and Chinese friends and later I developed an interest in Chinese history and culture. Based on the above I learned to considermyself a confident and happy foreigner.Today I’m back in the US where I’m pursuing a PhD at university in my hometown. It’sculture shock, experiencing the four stages in the opposite order.I’d complain loudly about the little things like I could no longer shout “ fu wu yuan” to get a waiter’s attention in a restaurant. But eventually I came to realize that my home had become an entirely new place when I was away. That, by itself ,was exciting. 17.Which stage of culture shock does paragraph 3 mainly describe?A.

He needed to adjust himself to his native life.Super Typhoon Rai (known as “Odette” in the Philippines) made landfall on Siargao Island in southeastern Philippines at 1:30 pm local time on Thursday, December 16.

But not for Gabriel Heredia.Gabrrel is a 21-year-old Argentinean barber(阿根廷理发师)who was born without hands. But he was able to grow up happy and independent because he always had the support of friends and family. In fact, his inspiration for such work was his mother, who is a hairdresser. At the age of 14, he began to take interest in her work and learned all kinds of hair cutting skills from her. Although he first saw it as an interest, Gabriel quickly decided that this was his dream job.Gabriel's family soon helped him open his first barbershop in San Isidro, Peru, which he worked at for one and a half years. There, he met Zlatan Gomez, the president of Argentina Corta, an organization for barbers to connect, do charity (慈善)work, and teach hairdressing. Later, Gabriel became part of Argentina Corta, offering his services to people of all ages so they can build up the skills they need to get a job.Gabriel then moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina where he cuts hair today. As a bright and caring young man, Gabriel tries hard to not only be a barber, but also make a connection with the neighborhood. He says, "The thing that I like the most about my job is that people feel comfortable and stylish with my cuts and that makes me feel happy."Gabriel always does his best to be independent.
