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)(原卷版+解析版)
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.

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.

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.

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.

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. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket.”13．What was Sara’s problem?A．She didn’t have a basket.B．She didn’t want her own basket.C．She couldn’t deal with her friendship.D．Her mother was too hard on her.14．What did the author think of Sara’s problem at first?A．Interesting.B．Exciting.C．Moving.D．Challenging.15．We can infer that Sara ________.A．would talk to Marcy herselfB．wouldn’t make friends with KathyC．was too young to deal with anythingD．managed to persuade her mother to help her16．The baskets mentioned in the passage refer to ________.A．gifts given by God when everyone is bornB．something that people use to keep vegetablesC．growing abilities as you grow upD．friendship that needs repairing（2023·高一课时练习）Age has never been a problem for Thessalonika Arzu-Embry. 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 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。

As a team leader, she wishes Frank, a member of her politics project, did his part as required. But rather than criticize （批评）him, only to find that Frank kept falling behind. It ended up that other team members, who had to take on more work, while Frank himself complained that he was not treated fairly.How did poor Candy get into this mess? The primary reason was that Candy failed in a key part of leadership—the duty to provide clear feedback（反馈）for team members. This isn’t simply a duty but a correctness.Failing to question or criticize Frank’s work, Candy was in fact unkind. Many people are not a failure, like Frank. They’re just in the wrong place, and still left in the dark. What they really need is feedback from their leaders. However, Candy didn’t bring out a gift in Frank.A leader had better use open, honest, continuous and clear feedback to help solve someone’s best fit in their job or in the organization. This method also avoids surprises. It’s not uncommon to see someone suddenly removed from a team. Maybe it serves them right, they wouldn’t have been caught off-guard （猝不及防）because they would have been receiving open, continuous and clear judgment of their performance.Then why is it so hard for leaders to give good feedback? People always like to be liked, so they avoid anything that may cause unpleasantness. But that kind of feedback usually helps members find the right place for them. If you just only like to be liked, the chance of being respected is really low. However, you have a chance of being liked. Of course, the most difficult part for a nice leader is criticizing someone.Back to Candy’s case. Not telling Frank how he was on the team only made a hard situation worse. But with a different mindset, she could have led her team to success and have been a likeable and critical leader.1．The word “gift” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ________”.A．present B．ability C．pride D．praise2．According to this article, what is necessary between leaders and team members?A．Being nice to team members is likely to win leaders great respect.B．Criticizing team members results in serious complaints to the leader.C．Open and honest communication is a must for leaders and team members.D．Praise and encouragement from leaders bring out better team performance.3．Based on the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．Candy should patiently encourage Frank to try his best.B．Candy should gradually kick Frank off her team.C．Candy should politely show Frank the improvement he made.D．Candy should clearly tell Frank her judgment of his performance.4．What is the best title of the passage?A．Become a Good Leader B．Set a Good TeamC．Frank’s problem D．Cindy’s Worry（2023·重庆大渡口·统考二模）①Walking around the city, you will see girls wearing hanfu on the underground or people wearing T-shirt with Chinese characters in the streets. A new trend（潮流）is getting popular in China. It’s guochao or China-Chic. Guochao adds traditional Chinese culture into products, and it shows the rise of China’s native fashion（时尚）.②Guochao got people’s attention in 2018. Before that, the market was controlled by foreign companies. There were few Chinese brands. To win the market share, many Chinese brands followed the footsteps of these western brands. In 2018, Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning made changes to the situation. It introduced its Wu Dao collection to the world. The collection not only looked fashionable, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It quickly caught people’s attention at home and abroad. And it created amazing sales.③Later, many Chinese brands, from food, drinks and clothing to mobile phones and cars, started to add Chinese culture into their products. Even the film and music industries made every effort to create Chinese styles. “We want our products to be the ones that young people would like to share”, they said.④These brands got what they wanted. Young people gradually converted their attention from western culture to guochao. They accepted it with pleasure. What’s more they started to develop interest in traditional Chinese art and literature. Now they wear traditional clothes, practice Chinese calligraphy（书法）and play Chinese musical instruments. Some of them are working together to spread Chinese culture to people around the world.⑤At the same time, people of different ages start to choose products “made in China”. According to a survey, 68% Chinese people prefer Chinese brands. Among them, 62% say they are open to international brands, but local brands remain the first choice.⑥No matter how guochao develops, there is one thing that won’t change—people’s confidence in our country’sdevelopment and culture is growing.5．What can we learn about Chinese brand Li Ning from Paragraph 2?A．It increased the world market share before 2018.B．It always followed the footsteps of foreign brands.C．It started the trend of guochao around the world.D．It spent lots of time creating products with Chinese elements.6．The underlined word “converted” can be replaced by “________”.A．changed B．developed C．started D．improved7．Which is the structure of the passage?A．①-②-③④⑤-⑥B．①-②③-④⑤-⑥C．①-②③④-⑤-⑥D．①-②③④-⑤⑥8．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Guochao, A New Fashion Trend B．Young People’s Special LoveC．The Advantages of Local Brands D．The Development of Chinese Brands（2023·重庆大渡口·统考一模）Philip is a pupil.

The third Saturday in December Mark said that he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went off on his own while I waited patiently reading a book in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. The clerk told him how much he needed to pay as I looked the other way. Mark kept within his budget (预算) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood in the middle of the store holding his basket, tears rolling down his cheeks. His whole body was shaking with tears on his face. Then an amazing thing happened. A customer in the store came up to Mark. She knelt down and took him in her arms.“You would do me the greatest favour if you let me replace (补还) your money,”said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful present you could ever give me.

This is one of my Chinese teacher’s favorite Chinese idioms (习语), Deyuwangquan. It comes from Zhuangzi and the meaning of it is that you are used to getting help from others but don’t show your thanks to them.When I studied this idiom in the United States, I read traditional Chinese characters (汉字). The character for“fish” has four dots (点) at the bottom. However, when today’s Chinese students study this idiom, they read simplified (简化的) characters. The character for “fish” only has a line at the bottom. This simplified character is easier to write. However, why are the four dots replaced by a line, rather than something else? And how many of you have thought about this?This simplification of Chinese characters started in the 1950s. The purpose was to improve literacy (文学). Simplified characters are easier for people to read and write.However, they fear that over-simplifying Chinese characters may cause some cultural heritage (遗产) to be lost. The first four dots at the bottom of the character for “fish” come from even older characters. These characters not only mean fish but also look like a fish. There are hundreds of such characters in Chinese. Each of them has a story behind its meaning.Some people have suggested that schools should teach traditional characters. But Chinese is already among the most difficult languages to read and write. To save time, perhaps we should still learn and use simplified characters. However, traditional Chinese characters are valuable and should stay, too. You may take some time to learn about them and the stories behind. In this way, you will help pass down Chinese culture and also have some fun. 25．We can use the idiom “Deyuwangquan” to describe ________.A．Linda, who is warm-hearted and always ready to help othersB．Cindy, who always forgets things and makes everything a messC．John, who is interested in fishing but not very good at itD．Bob, who is successful but not thankful to those who helped him26．________ is the traditional character for “fish” which the writer first read in the US.A．B．C．D．27．From the passage, we can learn ________.A．Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to read and writeB．the simplification of Chinese characters started in the 1960sC．it takes more time to write simplified Chinese charactersD．it’s meaningless to pass down traditional Chinese characters28．The passage mainly tells us something about ________.A．Chinese history B．Chinese idioms C．Chinese characters D．Chinese teachers（2023·重庆江北·校考三模）There were many fantastic boats in South Lake.

Well, a teacher is someone who teaches. They say things, and you remember them. But it was not until I met my music teacher that I realized this definition (定义) was too shallow (肤浅的).②When I first arrived at my music class at school, I didn’t have any knowledge of how to play the flute (长笛) at all. I couldn’t get the basic notes right. It seemed like a dream for me to perform in front of the school. However, my music teacher, Mr. Nevola, encouraged me to work toward my dreams. He did a lot for his students, including me.③He took a lot of time in finding the right flute book for me and spent extra (额外的) time teaching me. WhenI was unable to remember the notes, he taught me the trick: FACE. F means “fa”; A means “la”; C means “do”; E means “mi”. This way I can remember the notes much more quickly.④He also tried to make music class fun. We played games that helped develop our sense of rhythm (节奏感) and shared our favorite pieces on certain days. We talked about the background of music pieces from all over the world and learned about the development of music in the US. Sometimes when we were too tired, instead of forcing us to practice our instruments, Mr. Nevola would talk about relaxing things.⑤Thanks to Mr. Nevola’s fun teaching, I truly fell in love with the flute. After six months, I was able to blow seven notes in one breath. While this might not seem like a huge accomplishment (成就), I am still proud of it and thankful to Mr. Nevola who helped me make it happen.

It looks as if a hurricane passed through Vicky’s bedroom,”said Vicky’s mother. “I must ask her to clean it.”Vicky was eating breakfast. Her father came into the kitchen and said,“Mom wants you to clean your room. It looks as if a hurricane passed through it.”Joe, Vicky’s little brother, asked,“A hurricane? 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.

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.

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 couldn't stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie's grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen."What are you going to do, Jo?" asked her sister Meg."To clear the garden path." Answered Jo.When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.Jo laughed and shouted, "How are you? Are you ill?"Laurie opened the window and said," I'm better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week"."I'm sorry," said Jo. "Are you bored?""Yes, very." he replied."Don't your friends come to visit you?""No. But I don't want to see anybody.

My sisters say I never know when to stop.""You have three sisters—Amy, Beth and Meg." Laurie continued."How do you know this?" Jo was surprised."You call each other's names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven't got a mother." Jo felt sad when she heard this."Why don't you come and visit us?" she said, "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time.""Thank you.

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。

6．Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.
“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.”

初中英语2023年中考专题训练阅读理解-记叙文篇(一)Located in Pennsylvania, US, Here With Us Farm is trying to help animals. Every morning, Amanda Clark checks on the cows, pigs and dogs. These animals were once mistreated (虐待).Because of the pandemic, the farm has been lonely for a long time. Many leisure activities (休闲活动) have been canceled. The animals have been missing visitors. A friend of Clark’s came up with a good idea to connect these animals with people. In March, 2020, the farm began to post the animals’ basic information online. People could visit the farm’s website and choose an animal to write to.“We wanted to give kids and our animals some joy,” Clark said. “Many kids have written to our animals. The most popular animals are Ronnie the cow, Chester the cow and Rosie the chick.”About 265 kilometers away, the Indraloka Animal Farm is also using pens and paper to connect people with its animals. Indra Lahiri, the owner, began rescuing animals in the late 1990s. She now keeps more than 300 animals.The farm’s pen pal program was started a few years ago. It used to be only for the children who had volunteered on the farm. After the pandemic broke out, the program began to be open to all children.In return for their letters, kids can receive photos and sometimes even works of art created by animals. “I believe the animals enjoy seeing the letters,” Lahiri said. “We read all the letters to them. Kids need animals, and animals also need kids.”1. Why did Here With Us Farm start to post the animals’ basic in formation online?A. Because it wanted to save the animals.B.

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. "And it makes me feel that I, as a kid, could make a difference, too."（1）When did Milo Cress start to care about the problem of straws?A. Ten years ago.B. In the year 2011.C. In the year that he was 9.（2）Cress started the Be Straw Free project in order to .A. get a good score in science at his schoolB. encourage people to reduce plastic wasteC. become a famous person in his hometown（3）What did Cress ask a restaurant in Burlington to do?A.

Count the number of straws it uses every day.（4）Plastic straws are especially terrible because .A. they are the most serious problem todayB. scientists pay little attention to their influenceC. they help people get used to using single-use plastics（5）Over the years, Cress has .① spread his project across the Unit ed States② asked Seattle to completely ban plastic bags③ counted the plastic straws in the ocean every year④ spoken to teens around the world about plastic wasteA. ①③B. ②③C. ①④【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）C（5）C【解析】【分析】本文介绍了塑料垃圾对环保的危害，Cress用环保吸管替代塑料吸管。

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. For him, it's one big game.So Eco learns to sit when Holly says, "Sit!" He learns to come when Holly says, "Come here!"…And he doesn't get into trouble!5.What can we learn from Holly's words in paragraph 2?A. She is glad to take care of the dog.B.

You must TRY HARDER. Amy told herself silently. She was in her class' Second-Day-of-School Game with her teammates, whom she only met yesterday. This was her first chance to make new friends, and she was nervous.So far Amy hadn't given any useful suggestions—after all, she was totally new to this town. Luckily, no one seemed to care about it. This relaxed her a lot.Since the Blue Team left the park, they had worked out the first two clues (线索) and had been to the post office. Now they were in front of the cinema.Henry was reading aloud the third clue: Go to our town founder's last resting place.I know THIS ONE! Amy thought, excited."To the cemetery (墓地)" Cindy said."No, wait!" Amy said. "I've read about it. The founder was buried near the library.""Wow. I've walked by every day," Tyler said. "Never knew that!""Good job! That will save valuable time," Cindy smiled at Amy."We still need to hurry," Tyler reminded, pointing to the Yellow Team coming near."I know a shortcut!" Henry suggested. "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.

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.

We’re travelling around Africa. The lorry’s a bit like a house on wheels (轮子), but it has less space. But we have everything we need for our journey. It’s not very fast. That is OK—we’re not in a hurry.Our school books are the same as the ones back home, but my mum gives us lessons, and then sends our work to teachers on the Internet. My favourite way of learning, however, is by going on special trips that my parents plan. We’ve seen so many amazing (令人大为惊奇的) places, people and animals.In September, we went camping in the Kalahari Desert (卡拉哈里沙漠). We learned lots about the night sky. The Kalahari’s not like other deserts because it gets such a lot of rain—some parts of it look really green. We had a guide, and he told us about all the amazing animals that live there.In November, we went on a whale—watching (观鲸鱼) tour in South Africa and saw six whales. We said hello to them. One even swam under our boat. That was really thrilling. I knew whales were big, but I couldn’t believe they were so large.In December, we drove to Boulders Beach in South Africa. There are thousands of African penguins (企鹅) on the beach. These amazing black and white birds can swim, but cannot fly.

More than 3000 years ago, Chinese people ate with chopsticks. Who invented the chopsticks?Long ago, Chinese people used to eat with their hands. In Shang Dynasty, the last king, Zhou was cruel（残酷的）. He always killed people because the food was too hot or too cold. It made people afraid to serve him. His favorite Daji was also afraid.One day Daji served King Zhou his meal. When she tried the dish for the king, she found that it was too hot. Daji felt very nervous because the king would beangry. Suddenly she had an idea and she used two pieces of her long hairpins（发簪）to put the food to the king’s mouth.The King Zhou found it so interesting to eat with two long sticks that he forgot how hot the food was. After that, Daji thought it was a good way to solve this problem and asked people to make two long-thin gold sticks. People found it better to eat with sticks than with their hands. But they were too poor to afford the gold sticks. Then they found bamboo was good material to make chopsticks. Since then, people have invented chopsticks.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

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. Because Coach Jarvis helped him show conviction.14．What did the writer want to do when he was offered a job?A. Balance summer baseball and the work schedule.B. 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. The honeymoon.B. Frustration .C. Adjustment.D. Acceptance. 18．Which least help the author ease his culture shock in China ?A. Making local friends.B. Joining in fun activities.C.

Learning the Chinese language.19．What does the underlined word “reverse” mean?A. exchanging the position completely.B. changing the previous decision.C. stopping having a particular position.D. changing the order of something around.20．What can we learn about the author according to the last paragraph?A. He began to feel that life in the US was boring.B. He wished to call “fu wu yuan” in a restaurant.C. He was unable to accept American life.D. 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.

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.

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.

2．阅读理解Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone （里程碑） in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e-4 became the first lunar probe （月球探测器） in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon.The Earth's gravity （重力） slows the moon's rotation （自转）, matching it to the speed of its orbit （公转）. Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar （太阳的） winds, the far side may have the special minerals （矿物质）. For this reason, Chang'e-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e-4 is also carrying flower seeds,potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future.However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked（阻断） off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite （中继卫星）Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e-4 has been well solved.Power supply （电源供应） is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length （长度） of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels.Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e-4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments.The New York Times used the word "groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon".（1）When was Chang'e-4 sent up?A. In May, 2018.B. On December 8, 2018.C. On January 3, 2019.D. The passage doesn't tell us.（2）The main tasks of Chang'e-4 don't include _______________________.A. studying if life is possible on the moonB. studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surfaceC. solving the communication problem between Earth and other probesD. researching any mineral found by the spacecraft（3）The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "________________".A. harmfulB. unpredictableC. riskyD. pioneering（4）According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Chang'e-4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon.B. A lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.C. China's relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.D. Chang'e-4 is the first lunar probe in history that has successfully landed on the "dark" side of the moon.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）D（4）C【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章介绍了中国的嫦娥四号月球探测器，为我们讲述了嫦娥四号升空时间，什么时候在月球背面着陆，如何跟地球进行通讯联系等等。
