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

I disliked memorizing formulas (公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was “slow”. But my problem wasn’t with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.By high school, no one told me that I could become a professional mathematician. What I wanted to do then was to play college football. My goal was to get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school.The chances of that happening were very low. But that didn’t stop my coaches from encouraging me to believe I could reach my goal, and preparing and pushing me to work for it. They made video tapes of my performances and sent them to college coaches around the country. In the end, a Big Ten school, Penn State, did offer me a scholarship.I wish math teachers were more like football coaches. Students are influenced by more than just the quality of a lesson plan. They also react to the passion of their teachers and the engagement of their peers and they try to achieve a sense of purpose. They get advantages from detailed and exact instructions and constant feedback (反馈).Until I got to college, I didn’t really know what mathematics was. I still thought of it as laborious (耗时费力的) calculations. Then my professor handed me a book and suggested that I should think about a particular problem. It wasn’t easy, but it was attractive. My professor kept giving me problems, and I kept chasing them, even though I couldn’t always solve them immediately. The mathematical research I was doing had little in common with what I did in my high school classrooms. Instead, it was closer to the math and logic puzzles I did on my own as a boy. It gave me the same sense of wonder and curiosity, and it rewarded creativity. I am now a Ph.D candidate (候选人) in mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.6.Why did the writer think math class in school was “something to be endured” before entering college? A.Because he wasn’t interested in math.B.Because his math teachers didn’t care to push him.C.Because he was too smart and talented for math class.D.Because he was training hard for an athletic scholarship.7.We can conclude that after entering college, the writer ________.A.was busy looking for math problems to solveB.studied on his own just as he was in high schoolC.met with laborious calculations in his studiesD.began to realize what mathematics really is8.What is the best title for the text?A.Interest is the best teacher B.Be the best — you can make itC.Math, taught like football D.Once your teacher, always your teacher (2023·江苏无锡·无锡市天一实验学校校考一模)When my son finally started school around the age of four, I felt as though I’d been promoted (晋级) to the new position of School Parent. It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one without additional benefits, or a raise for that matter.As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school.Gone were the carefree days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the ‘hot mess’ mum who were often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes and losing car keys.As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated.The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of anxiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldn’t let him know it. I even didn’t allow anyone in our house to say phrases like, “Hurry up, we’re going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day.Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enough. In what felt like the ‘longest shortest time’, we went from anxious and confused, to calm and confident once again. We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.9.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?A.She liked her new position.B.She got a promotion at work.C.She made good preparations.D.She had to face the challenge.10.Which word is similar in meaning to the underlined words “hot mess” in paragraph 3?A.disorganized B.busy C.confident D.hard-working11.What is the text mainly about?A.Growth of kids.B.Experience as a school parent.C.New life in school.D.Advice on lifestyle change.(2023·江苏宿迁·统考一模)One day, Frank was walking with his mother outside. When they came to a pretty garden, he called to his mother and said, “Mother, I wish I could open the gate and walk in.”The gardener, being near, heard what Frank said, and kindly invited him and his mother to come into the garden.Frank’s mother thanked the man. Turning to her son, she said, “Frank, if I take you to walk in this garden, you must take care not to meddle with (乱动) anything in it.”Frank walked along the paths and looked at everything, but touched nothing.

It was the strange crying sound. She got out of bed, picked up the candle and went out into the long, dark corridor(走廊) outside her room. As she followed it, the sound became louder and louder. Finally, she arrived at a door. She opened it quietly and went in.The room was large and full of beautiful old furniture.There was a fire in the fireplace and a candle next to a big bed. In it she could see a boy and he was crying. He had a white face, long dark hair and big grey eyes. He looked ill but he wasn’t crying because he was in pain.Mary went towards the bed. The boy turned his head and stared (注视) at her.“Who are you?” he whispered. “Are you a ghost?”“No,” Mary answered. “Are you a ghost?”He stared at her with his big eyes.“No,” he replied. “I am Colin. Colin Craven. Who are you?”“I am Mary Lennox. Mr Craven is my uncle.”“He’s my father,” said the boy.“Your father! I didn’t know that he had a son!” shouted Mary. “Why were you crying?”“I was sad and my head hurt.”“Did the servants (仆人) tell you about me?” asked Mary.“No, because they know that I don’t want to see people.”“Why not?”“People talk about me because I’m always ill. I don’t like it. My father doesn’t like it either. But I’m going to die. If I live, I’m probably going to be a hunchback(驼背的人) like him.”“Does your father come and see you?”“He doesn’t want to see me.”“Why not?” Mary asked again.“My mother died when I was born. He feels sad when he looks at me. I think he almost hates me.”“He hates the garden because she died,” said Mary, half speaking to herself.“What garden?” the boy asked.“Oh, just a garden she liked,” Mary said.Then she said quickly, “Do you always stay in bed?”“Yes. But a doctor from London said I must go out in the fresh air. I hate fresh air.”“Oh,” said Mary.Mary learned a lot about Colin. Mary began to understand that Colin was spoilt. His father gave him everything he asked for. And Colin never had to do anything if he didn’t want to do it.“Everyone has to do what I want,” Colin said. “I get ill if I’m angry.”—Taken from The Secret Garden 16.Which words can be used to describe Mary’s feelings after she woke up that night?A.Unhappy but curious.B.Tired and bored.C.Angry and afraid.D.Surprised and excited.17.The underlined word “spoilt” means ___________.A.独立的B.被宠坏的C.胆小的D.温和的18.We can learn that Colin is Mary’s ___________.A.brother B.uncle C.doctor D.cousin19.What can we learn from the passage?A.Colin’s servants liked him.B.Mary woke up because of Colin’s crying.C.Colin seldom communicated with others.D.Mr Craven didn’t like his Mary.(2023·江苏无锡·统考一模)Jadav has planted trees for many years.

Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door. Before she could climb down the ladder into the cellar, a great cyclone (龙卷风) picked up the house. It turned it round and round and round and then carried it high into the sky.It was not very dark. Dorothy felt as if she were riding through the sky. She held on to Toto and climbed under her bed, where she stayed for several hours. Then, although the house was still moving, she fell asleep.When she woke up, she did not know how much later, the house was on the ground.

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

At night, the 26-year-old young man, taking off his helmet (头盔) and blue jacket, dives into small theaters where he is going to use stand-up comic sets inspired by his personal stories as a deliveryman to make people laugh.In 2019, he found that running errands can bring him a good income. Then he moved from his hometown to Xi’an, and became a deliveryman. He turned all the hardships he has been going through these years into funny jokes, which brings a refreshing life. For him, the skill of humor is not something he was born with, but what he has been diligently (勤奋地) training with his sincerity and eagerness to get a better life.On a freezing winter night, he stopped for a while in a bar after finishing the errands and heard rounds of cheers and laughs coming from the bar, and he was told that it was an open-mic event for stand-up comedy (脱口秀) . He was crazy with the joyous atmosphere into which he wanted to get himself integrated. The club owner later sent him a guidebook for stand-up comedy and gave him a chance to go on stage. His performance attracted wider attention and he received an invitation from the Shanghai-based comedy company Xiaoguo Culture to join a comic training camp last year. It was his first time to take a plane and get out from Shanxi province. He soon found that Shanghai offers more opportunities for stand-up comedy performers.In October, he moved to the city. There, he still chose to be a deliveryman and put on comic performances for four or five times a week. For him, what’s special about the comic form is its inclusiveness (包容性). “It welcomes people from all walks of life and varied backgrounds to share stories and express opinions on the same stage,” he says.5.What does Zhao Dong want to do by using the stand-up comic sets?A.To introduce his personal stories.B.To build up his confidence to be a deliveryman.C.To provide more sources of amusement for people.D.To help himself to adapt to his new job as soon as possible.6.What does the underlined word “integrated” mean in paragraph 3?A.includedB.interestedC.injuredD.investigated7.What can we learn about the deliveryman from paragraph 3?A.He left Shanghai by plane for the first time.B.He found his stand-up comedy career may take off in Shanghai.C.He put on some performances to attract people’s attention.D.He rejected the invitation from a Shanghai-based comedy company.8.What is the text mainly about?A.How a deliveryman earns a lot of money.B.How a deliveryman puts on performance on the street.C.How a deliveryman shares stories with all walks of life.D.How a deliveryman finds a new role with a sense of humor.(2022秋·四川绵阳·高一四川省绵阳江油中学校考阶段练习)In Woods Chan’s class at a high school in California, students chat with each other in Spanish, Arabic (阿拉伯语) and Mam, a Mayan language from Guatemala. 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 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.

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.

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.

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。

Day 5ATerry Fox never thought he’d live a remarkable life.He liked sports, but no one thought he was talented. During his first year in the university, he had a pain in his right knee, which was so bad that he couldn’t stand up. He went to the doctor fo r tests. They showed that he had cancer. He was going to lose his leg and be given an artificial one. Terry’s family and friends all gave him fantastic support. Terry said that he knew all those people really cared and helped him. He decided to face it with bravery.One night Terry was looking through an article about Dick Traum, who also had an artificial leg and had run in the New York Marathon. “If he can do it,” thought Terry, “I can, too. In fact, I’ll run across Canada and raise money for cancer resea rch. It will be a Marathon of Hope!”For the next 13 months, Terry had special treatments for his cancer. And then he also began to run a little every day. Each day he ran a little farther. It is 2,300 miles across Canada. Terry hoped to run thirty to forty miles a day so that it would take him six months. Most of all, he hoped to raise $1 million for cancer research.Because Terry had an artificial leg, running wasn’t easy or straightforward. He had to move by jumping on one foot twice and then take a long step with his real leg. Although it looked awkward, he still kept on running. His action made people join him as he ran: children, football stars, wheelchair athletes and even his brother, Darrell. As Terry ran, people waved and cheered. So much money was donated that the volunteers used large garbage bags so everyone could give.Then, outside Thunder Bay, Ontario, Terry felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pain was from cancer; this time in his lungs. He had to abandon the Marathon after 3, 339 miles. He told the people before he left, “I won’t give up. I just hope people will continue to give money.” And they did. Just under $22 million was given.Terry received numerous awards. At 22, he was the youngest Canadian to ever receive Canada’s highest award, th e Companion of the Order of Canada.1. What made Terry decide to run across Canada?A. His passion for Marathon.B. An urge to live a normal life.C. The support of his family and friends.D. The inspiring experience of Dick Traum.2. People joined him when he ran mainly because ________.A. they were moved by the scene of Terry’s runningB. they served as volunteers in the marathonC. they considered Terry as a great heroD. they loved running very much3. Why did he finally stop the marathon?A. He collected enough money for the donation.B. His family and friends persuaded him to abandon it.C. He got great pain in his body because of the cancer.D. Running with the artificial leg wasn’t straightforward.4. Which of the following words can best describe Terry?A. Generous.B. Cooperative.C Determined. D. Creative.BHe must have had that nice window seat all the way from London. An Indian, he looked under 10, medium height, slim and wore a suit. I got an aisle seat next to him. I looked at him and tried to smile as I sat down. But there was a blank, distant look that made me stop mid-smile. One of those, I thought.Each time I take a flight, I try to chat with a fellow passenger. Most people are responsive when they’re alone at 10,000 feet. But the man wearing the suit on my left was a puzzle. One of those non-resident Indians, I thought. What do you lose if you just smiled at a fellow human being? Most of the time, he stared fixedly at the seat in front of him.Why are some people so full of themselves?When the stewardess brought lunch, the unfriendly man had his eyes shut. She gave me a should-I-wake-him-up look. I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t get his lunch. Serves him right. He soon woke up and saw me eat. But he didn’t ask for his meal. He could just have pressed a button. That’s his problem.We still have almost two hours of flying left. I read a magazine. I try to play a video game. I listen to music. He does nothing. At times our eyes meet, but he isn’t all there. He’s like no other passenger I’ve ever sat next to. By the time our jet lands in Mumbai, I find his presence almost uncomfortable. As we taxi down the runway, I hear the man speak for the first time—on his mobile phone. He seems to be discussing his connecti ng flight. About somebody receiving him… Just before the aircraft comes to a halt, he’s the first to stand up. “Excuse me,” he says to me. “May I leave? I can’t miss my connecting flight.”Hmm…! I get up to make way for him when he goes on mechanically, “M y wife and child died in a road accident in Delhi.” I’m shocked by his words. Suddenly, everything falls in place.Despite his terrible loss and the sufferings he has been enduring, he was calm, controlled throughout. And, maybe, in the midst of his soul-c rushing sorrow, he didn’t want to burden a stranger with his pain.1. How does the author find the passenger in a suit sitting close by during the flight?A. Dangerous.B. Angry.C. Troublesome.D. Dull.2. Which statement is true according to the text?A. The author was guilty of not informing the man of the lunch service.B. The man showed little interest in the author’s attempt to make acquaintances.C. The man refused to talk on the plane because he had trouble connecting the flights.D. A car crash cost the man his beloved family in Mumbai.3. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Everything goes wrong to a certain extent.B. The man’s strangeness has an understandable reason.C. Everyone on board feels sorry for mistaking the man.D. All passengers make way for the man.4. What lessons did the author learn in the end?A. Never assume until you walk in the other’s shoes.B. Nothing is so certain as the unexpected.C. What’s done cannot be undone.D. Let bygones be bygones.参考答案A【答案解析】1. D2. A3. C4. C【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。

Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.

For most of my life I had been fighting with my body weight. I was either gaining weight or trying to lose it. I wasn’t happy with myself, and I certainly wasn’t able to fully enjoy life. Not only did I feel bad physically, but I felt terribleemotionally. I also knew I wasn’t able to be the best I could be, and with failure after failure in losing weight, I just felt so hopeless to make it.One day in 2008, I was looking through ads online and saw a treadmill (跑步机) for $100. This time I decided to start small and keep it doable. The first week I started walking 15 minutes on the treadmill at a fixed time every day. The next week I did 16 minutes. Each week I added a minute. Gradually, I increased speed as well as time. Once I got to 30 minutes, the weight started dropping off.I didn’t lose weight at first, but I didn’t give up like I did in the past. I realized I started feeling better. My legs were getting stronger. I didn’t feel painful like I used to when I got up from my desk. All the efforts I’d been putting into fitness made me want to start eating healthier, too. I began with small changes as well. After these years I started listening to my body. It was refusing food and habits that were bad for me.Today, the extra weight is gone. I still exercise every morning. I look and feel the best I have never done. Every area of my life has improved and benefited from this change in me.

As a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pausch was asked to deliver a “last lecture”. This well-known campus tradition allowed professors to share worldly wisdom with students as if they were dying and had one last lecture to give.The only difference in Pausch’s case is that Pausch really was dying, but it only motivated him more. He delivered his last lecture, “Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams” on Sept. 18, 2007.Pausch began by sharing several of his boyhood dreams, some of which he had achieved and the others he hadn’t. He described the importance of having dreams and how anyone can still learn a lot by reaching for those dreams, even if they don’t always succeed. He shared the values(价值观) learned through experience, which he hoped to pass on to others hard work, laughter and gratitude, honesty, character.Pausch’s last lecture received a great deal of praise and attention. It became a crazy YouTube hit, and in October 2007, he presented an abridged (删节的) version on “The Oprah Winfrey Show”. He turned the lecture into a book by the same name, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were deeply moved by the book’s representation of Pausch’s lifelong philosophy and the way it revealed the biggest source of his motivation—his three young children.Pausch passed away on July 25, 2008, but his voice lives on in the recorded lecture and his book. He continues to motivate us all by encouraging us to never give up our childhood dreams—a source of inspiration that can never run dry.17.Why was Pausch asked to give his “last lecture”?A.To teach the students.B.To make him have a better life.C.To cure his cancer.D.To achieve his dream.18.What was Pausch’s lecture mainly about?A.His private life in boyhood.B.Having dreams and good values.C.The reason for his success.D.The experience learned from others.19.Which of the following motivated Pausch most?A.His dreams.B.His children.C.His work.D.His students.20.The purpose of the passage is to inspire people to ________.A.keep on dreaming B.know the meaning of lifeC.enjoy life D.give the last lecture(2022春·湖南长沙·高一雅礼中学校考期中)Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I took a fare (出租车乘客) at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, standing on the sideway was a small woman in her 80’s with a big suitcase.After I helped her into the taxi, she gave me an address, and asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “I don’t mind,” she said, “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终安养院).” I looked in-the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were wet. I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价表). “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when theywere newly married. She had me stop in front of a shabby house where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building and sat staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the destination. It was a grey low building.“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching into her purse. “Nothing,” I said. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly, and whispered a “Thank you”. I squeezed her hand and walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.I didn’t pick up any more passengers but drove aimlessly lost in thought. What if that woman had come across an impatient driver? What if I had refused to drive through downtown? Great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.21.What caused the author to shut off the meter?A.His distrust of the fare.B.His pity for the woman.C.The breakdown of the meter.D.The cold weather at midnight.22.What wạs the aim of the woman’s ride through downtown?A.To find a place to settle down.B.To reach the destination on time.C.To kill time before the hospice opened.D.To see the city for the last time.23.What can we learn from the story?A.Don’t give up and never lose hope.B.People should respect each other.C.A small act of kindness brings people great joy.D.Strangers are family you haven’t known yet. 24.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.A taxi ride I’ll never forget B.My strange driving experienceC.The ending of an old woman’s life D.An old woman passenger and her life(2022春·广西南宁·高一南宁三中校考期中)When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”“Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered, excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.“May I help you?” a man asked. “No,” I said. “We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hallseemed very nosy (爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures (雕刻) in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are?” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!”“There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence (住宅), long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”“That was my home. I was a teenager sitting in the hall. Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in. I never felt lucky before. You thought it was a museum. My feelings about mv home changed after that. I’ve always wanted to thank you.”25.What do we know about Marian McNay?A.She was a journalist.B.She was a painter.C.She was a museum director.D.She was a community leader.26.Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house?A.She disliked people who were nosy.B.She felt nervous when talking to strangers.C.She thought of him as a tour guideD.She knew more about art than the man.27.How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall?A.Puzzled.B.Concerned.C.Frightened.D.Delighted.28.What could we learn from the last paragraph?A.People should have good taste to enjoy life.B.People should spend more time with their family.C.People tend to be blind to the beauty around them.D.People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.(2022春·重庆·高一重庆市武隆中学校联考期中)Twelve-year-old Leonardo was born in a poor family in Bambamarca in Peru. He knew how to read but he had never seen a book in his life. So he asked the new priest (牧师) in his village to give him one. But there was no electricity. So Leonardo borrowed candles from the church and sat up all night reading it. The next morning, he was at the door of the priest asking for another book to read.John Medcalf, the priest, was moved. He also realised that people would love to read if given a chance. But he knew how difficult it was for Leonardo and those in his village to get books. And yet, no one can be taught to read and write without books. To make people in a poor, faraway area grow to love books, they have to be with them. So he thought the only way was to bring books to people.But how could this be done? Mobile libraries or car libraries would be too expensive and difficult to continue in the rocky, hilly land of Peru. So what other methods could be used?Medcalf got a new idea from the barefoot doctors of China. And that was how the barefoot librarians first appeared in the villages of northern Peru, almost thirty years ago.The librarians began by going from village to village, lending books to villagers. They helped start The Rural Library Network of Peru.At first, they were teachers of the village schools which these faraway libraries belonged to. But the teachers were not very interested in the job because it meant a lot of hard work. So, village leaders took on the job themselves.Today, there are 600 village libraries across Peru. The barefoot librarians who walk up to 15 hours a day with bags of books are their lifeline.29.The first paragraph tells us that Leonardo ______.A.enjoyed reading booksB.bought candles from the churchC.had a lot of booksD.lived in the church30.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ______.A.to grow to love booksB.to read and writeC.to bring books to peopleD.to build a new library31.The passage doesn’t mention ______.A.where Medcalf met Chinese doctorsB.who worked as village librarians at firstC.when the barefoot librarians appearedD.how many village libraries Peru has today32.It can be inferred (推断) from the passage that ______.A.the first church in Peru was set up by John MedcalfB.car libraries used to be popular in Leonardo’s villageC.teachers were interested in bringing books to villagersD.the barefoot librarians are important to village libraries(2022春·重庆·高一重庆八中校考期中)Teaching is a constant process of upgrade, where every moment you learn new things, not only as a teacher, but also as a human being.At the start of my career, I believed I should come across to my students as a “no-nonsense” type of person. My entire focus was towards maintaining classroom discipline. It was tough. Most of my Indian students were from a rural background. They would intentionally use vocabulary that sounded Greek to me. They did all in their power to make me feel like a fish out of water.My last lecture ended at 2:30 in the afternoon. Some of the students approached me begging to let them leave 15 minutes early as they had a bus to catch. My permission resulted in a stir (骚动) as half of the class stood up to leave. They all had buses to catch! Unable to distinguish between the genuine ones and those faking it, I put a ban on anybody leaving before time.One evening, I spotted three boys from my last class at the bus stop. I called out, “You constantly blame me for not allowing you to leave early because you have a bus to catch and here you are still hanging around at 5 pm!” One of the boys replied respectfully and humbly, “Madam, the bus leaves at 2:30. If we leave the class at 2:15, we are able to make it. In case we miss it, the next bus to our village comes after three hours. Now we are waiting for it. At this hour, the bus will be overloaded and we will not even get a seat.”I was full of regret. The next day, I asked all the students who had a bus to catch to write an application, get it signed and leave whenever they wanted, without seeking my permission. I learnt the first lesson of my life as a teacher—learn to understand your students, for they would learn better from you when they respect you than when they fear you.33.What gave the author the biggest headache when she started teaching?A.Her students’ serious violent behavior.B.Her struggle to keep her classes in order.C.Her inability to understand Greek words.D.Her students’ various educational backgrounds.34.How did the author deal with the students’ request to leave before time at first?A.She took it seriously.B.She refused it completely.C.She permitted it immediately.D.She handled it gracefully.35.How did the author feel the moment she spotted the three boys at the bus stop?A.Embarrassed.B.Angry.C.Regretful.D.Concerned.36.What lesson can teachers learn from the story?A.Show students that you respect them.B.Care about students’ emotional experiences.C.Cooperate with students to improve learning.D.Evaluate yourself first and the students second.(2022春·湖南株洲·高一株洲二中校考期中)Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic (全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew exhausted. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined’ it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized (使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each other’s’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.37.Why did the writer and the woman both came here?A.To have fun together.B.To enjoy the beautiful scenery.C.To take pictures of the landscape.D.To do research on the environment. 38.What made the writer feel annoyed?A.The woman was too noisy.B.Her camera stopped working. C.She was forbidden to take photos there.D.The woman blocked her view.39.In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera. C.The woman’s existence in the photo.D.The soft sunlight that summer day. 40.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections on________A.the art of photography.B.the friendship between two strangers. C.the writer’s attitude to the landscape.D.a particular life experience of the writer.参考答案:1.A2.B3.A4.C【导语】这是一篇记叙文,文章主要介绍了摇滚歌星Pat Benatar。

You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.28.

2020年高考英语重难点专练二 阅读理解之记叙文附答案

2020年高考英语重难点专练二 阅读理解之记叙文附答案

重难点02 阅读理解之记叙文【命题趋势】记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局,通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。

有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的,在叙述的过程中有详有略;有些文章是按时间的顺序叙述的,有顺叙、倒叙等。

从总体上来讲,文章的难度通常不大,在阅读过程中,我们一直在某个线索的引导下,随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末,因此会感到比较轻松。

命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。

阅读此类文章应特别注意:(1)若是一般故事性文章,应读懂故事的发生、发展、高潮和结局;(2)若是"哲理故事",要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义;(3)若是"逸闻趣事",应体会对话的风趣性,进而才能感受幽默的精髓。

【满分技巧】高考阅读理解体裁纷繁多样,但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。

在所有的阅读体裁中,记叙文的难度相对是比较低的。

如果掌握了阅读的技巧,多多实践,阅读能力就有可能大大提高。

要熟练掌握记叙文的阅读技巧,了解记叙文的写作特点与命题特点也是有必要的。

一、记叙文写作特点记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来,描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。

消息、通讯、传记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体,都属于记叙文的范畴。

就写作顺序而言,记叙文要么是按时间顺序,要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。

不管是哪种叙述方法,最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟,这是记叙文的精华所在,也是阅读的难点所在,可谓"一篇之妙,在于落句"。

二、记叙文命题特点从命题形式上看,常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。

除了推论或词义辨识题,记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进,否则就会觉得别扭,逻辑不通。

同时,记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑,一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解,因此,我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。

难度:★★★★☆建议用时:30分钟得分:2022年新高考II卷之B篇We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio.I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, sinceI have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story fora video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.4. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?A. Provided shelter for me.B. Became very clear to me.C. Took the pressure off me.D. Worked quite well on me.5. Why did the kid poke the storybook?A. He took it for a tablet computer.B. He disliked the colorful pictures.C. He was angry with his grandpa.D. He wanted to read it by himself.6. What does the author think of himself?A. Socially ambitious.B. Physically attractive.C. Financially independent.D. Digitally competent.7. What can we learn about the author as a journalist?A. He lacks experience in his job.B. He seldom appears on television.C. He manages a video department.D. He often interviews internet stars.【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B【导语】这是一篇记叙文。

高中英语记叙文阅读专项训练之记叙文汇编

高中英语记叙文阅读专项训练之记叙文汇编

高三年级二轮复习阅读理解部分专题之记叙文主备人:李甜云一.记叙文记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手法,以记人、叙事为主要内容的文章。

1传记传记属记叙文的一种,是用来记载人物生平事迹的文章。

在教学过程中,教师要指导学生通过时间和事件的关系把握文章的主线。

此类体裁的文章通常被分为四部分,即A. childhood years B. early manhood C. great achievement D. remarks。

教师应当引导学生按照下列主线来理解传记类文章:人物→时间与事件→成功/成就/信仰→评价。

这样使学生在准确地理解课文的同时,也能学到传记类文章的写作方法。

2故事类故事类文章也是记叙文的一种。

文章多以人物、事件为中心,以时间和空间为线索,按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事。

此类篇章情节性较强,教师可指导学生按照事件叠加、情节逐步展开的特点和解决问题,以人物一系列动作为线索的显著特征进行略读,即可以较快地获得篇章的主要信息。

然后,教师再引导学生按照situation→problem→actions→con clusion迅速、准确地理解和掌握文章的细节。

二.“八字诀”:综观理脉检索整合一、综观——握要。

首先着眼于文章的整体,注意理清内部的相互关系,从宏观上居高临下地驾驭文章,领会文章的主旨内涵。

其次还要看文章的作者、写作时间和文后的注释等,特别要浏览一下后面问了哪些问题,从题目的选项中揣测文章的主旨,明确作者的主要写作意图。

二、理脉——分层。

磨刀不误砍柴功。

把握了全篇的主旨,理清了文章的脉络,再解答后面的问题,就如顺风行船,事半功倍。

可是有些考生不在这方面下功夫,走马观花地看一遍文章,似懂非懂,就急于解答后面的问题,结果是欲速则不达,不仅费时费力,还容易答错。

三、检索——筛选。

先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域,确定对应的语句,题目一般是从选文里有可能被考生忽略且又不一定真懂的地方抽出来编成各种形式的问题,用来考查学生的理解能力。

However, my favourite trips, and the ones in which I now specialize, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me to deal with a broken leg during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job requirements, after stamina (耐力), problem-solving and communication.This kind of medicine million miles away from the controlled, clean environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to use whatever is available. For example, I’ve learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I’ve even had to cut branches off a small tree to make a piece of wood to support a broken arm.Now I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these holidays were quite rare,but they have become much more mainstream now that we’ve all seen celebrities climbing Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people exploring jungles.I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high moral standards and bring advantages to the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes ofvisitors to the hardship that many people are forced to go through.5.What made the author choose his career?A.His love of nature. B.His desire for adventure.C.His talent for medicine. D.His sense of responsibility.6.What is the biggest challenge for the author during the trips?A.Reducing potential risks.

Those of us who feel moved to do so, let’s help this mother to take a little something with her, a little something we have and can share.” he said.In a matter of minutes, passengers offered a total worth near $400 which goes a lot further in Brazil than in the USA, plus applause for the mother, who was thrilled with the help and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to the passengers.The site that first shared the story later updated the article, adding that Caleb went through surgery and was recovering well. The website Razoes Para Acreditar reported that the story caught the attention of Brazil in TV personality Luciano Huck, who started a crowd funding campaign to help the family.This story just goes to show that a kind act can go a long way towards making an important difference in someone’s life.

The sprint legend and new world 100m champion spoke to us about her evergreen career and the legacy she wishes to leave for young athletes.Fraser comes from a difficult background. She grew up in Waterhouse, a neighborhood in Kingston that was marked by poverty and violence. She lived in a wooden shack with just enough room for a double bed and had to have meals with family members in a shared yard, squatting on a turned-over paint bucket.Sport is one of the few ways to escape this misery. All children in Jamaica run races even in kindergarten; there is no other country with a similar sprinting culture. But only a few actually succeed in building a career.Her life began to change when a woman saw her running in an international school competition in the United States. The woman learned about the circumstances in which Fraser lived, and from then on, she took over the y oung runner’s school fees, paid for her uniform and books, and gave her an allowance.Fortunately, Fraser didn’t let her down. From 2008 to 2022, nine of a possible 11 gold medals in the 100-meter have gone to Jamaican women. Top among them is Fraser, who has won eight of those titles, and more beyond. She has collected 21 medals at the global level, 13 of which have been gold.To many young athletes in her country, Fraser has become a real-life superhero and inspiration. But unlike cartoon superheroes, her secret is not in some fancy elixir or super food, but in a traditionally balanced diet, hard work and tenacity. Her life offers the possibility that it is persistence and courage in the face of struggle that build the heart of the lion.12.For what purpose did Fraser begin sprint?A.To show off her talent. B.To rid herself of the suffering.C.To draw people’s attention to the poor.D.To develop the country’s sprinting culture.13.All of the following about Fraser are mentioned except _______.A.her family background B.her schooling experienceC.her achievements in sport D.her influence on young athletes14.What makes Fraser a superhero according to the author?A.Talent and hard work.

In 2018, Reis had a serious motorcycle accident and spent time in a hospital. The accident affected him deeply, body and spirit. He had several medical operations. Reis said he felt like he was “reborn” each time he woke after an operation. Following 88 days in the hospital, Reis was released and felt ready to change his ways.Lately, he says he just wants to make people happy by making bubbles. You can watch him perform his bubble art for hours at a time around the city’s streets and in its parks. Sometimes he puts out a glass container called a tip jar. People who watch his show can drop money into it if they want to.If the weather is good for bubbles, Reis makes a special mixture that can make bubbles the size of a small car. Humidity, or the amount of water in the air, is good for bubbles. So, he does not perform on very dry days. To make his large bubble, he puts a small rope hanging from two long sticks into the bubble mixture. As he removes it, he opens his arms wide and the bubbles begin to form. Once enough air is inside the bubble, he moves his arms back together to set the bubble free. Some people feel it looks like a bubble “ballet.”While Reis may seem like a bubble-making expert, he only got started in April 2020. Reis can support himself with donations from crowds that watch him perform. But money is not what stirs him to make bubbles. He feels his art is useful in more important ways. Not long ago, a woman told Reis after a performance that his bubbles had lifted her spirit when her dad died.Reis can see smiles rise from under the face covers worn by those watching him perform. Children cheer and clap their hands. Reis said such reactions make him feel like an essential worker whose job is to spread joy during the health crisis.“I’m just trying to put a smile on somebody’s face by doing some bubbles.” said Reis.16.What can we know about Kurth Reis from Paragraph 1?A.He had to repay his operation fees.B.He intended to do something different.C.He suffered a minor motorcycle accident.D.He gave up his career as a motorcyclist.17.What may people do when they watch Reis’ performances?A.Put some money into a tip jar near him.B.Give him a hand when he sets a bubble free.C.Grasp a small rope hanging from two long sticks.D.Add a special mixture to help him make large bubbles.18.What does the underlined word “stirs” mean in Paragraph 4?A.forces B.determines C.stops D.encourages19.What is the best title for the text?A.Lost Time Is Never Found AgainB.Ups and Downs Make One StrongC.Everything Comes to Him Who WaitsD.Small Actions Have a Big Impact6.(2023秋·安徽·高三校联考期末)How would you translate Chairman Mao Zedong’s expression: “Bu Ai Hong Zhuang Ai Wu Zhuang”? “English or American translators might use the words: They love uniforms not gay dresses,” said Xu Yuanchong, a well-known Chinese translator and the first Asian winner of the world’s highest prize for translation, the Aurora Borealis Prize. Xu thought that this translation was correct but not beautiful at all. He cleverly used just two words—“face” and “powder”—to translate it as “To face the powder and not to powder the face”, which became one of Xu’s most representative translations.Xu thought that the equivalence (相同) of idea, sound and form were the three basic elements found in good translation. However, his method—recreation instead of literal (字面的)—is controversial. Some people said that it was different from the original text. “I think not.” Xu replied firmly. “Western languages are comparable. It’s easy to find the equivalent of English in other languages. But it’s different in Chinese. There are only 50% of equivalents between Chinese and English. If you cannot find an equivalent, then you must find the best words to translate. To find the best word is innovation. It’s recreation,” he explained.Xu Yuanchong likes to communicate with the younger generation about academic work, hoping that working together to spread Chinese culture will contribute to making the world a better place.Xu Yuanchong also authored a book, which in Chinese is called “Meng Yu Zhen”, which literally means “dream and reality”. But Xu created a different English name for it. He used “A dream translated into reality”. “This summarizes my entire life. My whole life is about translating my dream into reality,” he explained.Xu Yuanchong was an expert at translating ancient Chinese poems into English and French but even at the age of 96 had one dream still to fulfill—to translate all of Shakespeare’s works into Chinese.20.What does Xu Yuanchong’s translation mainly focus on?A.The accuracy of grammar. B.The surface meaning.C.Internal meaning and language beauty. D.Consistence with the original.21.What does the underli ned word “controversial” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Debatable. B.Conventional. C.Admirable. D.Fundamental.22.Why does Xu Yuanchong like to be with young people?A.To keep a young mind inside himself.B.To teach them more academic knowledge.C.To make up for his existing translation skills.D.To jointly improve the world with Chinese culture.23.Which of the following cam be used to describe Xu Yuanchong?A.Smart and tolerant. B.Creative and ambitious.C.Humorous and generous. D.Cooperative and sensitive.7.(2023·四川凉山·统考一模)In my bag I always carry the same essential items: my keys, my purse, some loose change, my mobile phone, and my little blue vocabulary notebook. This year I am living abroad in Germany and I am trying to learn as much German as possible. I always knew that living abroad would be a great way to learn a foreign language, but one thing I didn’t realize was how many new words and phrases I would come across every day. I see and hear new words everywhere: the announcements in the train station, menus in cafes, on social media, in the local newspaper, and of course from my German -speaking friends; New words are all around you when you are in a foreign country.At first, I was slightly overwhelmed by the large amounts of German I did n’t understand- speaking German in Germany is definitely very different from in the classroom. I kept on looking up new words, and by the end of the day, I had forgotten most of them already. It was very frustrating. After a month of worrying that I would never improve my language skills, I went to the stationery shop and bought a small notebook which easily fits into my handbag or even into my back pocket. I set myself the goal of writing five new words or phrases a day into my little blue book and soon enough, it became one of my most valuable language-learning tools.I don’t have any rules about which words I write down. Most days I write down words I learn from my colleagues at work, words that I have read but I don’t understand, or words that I have lea rned from seeing them in context. For example, I have learned the names of many fruits and vegetables from looking at their labels in the supermarket (a very unexpected source of vocabulary) and I have learned many words that I have learned on TV or on the radio. It doesn’t even matter if I know how to spell a new word straight away. If I hear a word but I don’t know how to spell it, I write down how I think it sounds and look it up later.My little blue vocabulary book is now like my sidekick(助手). We are like Batman and Robin; we go everywhere together. Setting this small daily goal has made me feel much more in control of my language learning and I am already seeing my improvement. I will continue to use it for the rest of my stay in Germany and also when I return to university at home in September.24.According to Paragraph 1, which statement is false?A.The author tried hard to improve his German.B.The author always carries some small money in the bag.C.The author always came across new words when living in Germany.D.The author always knew he would make many friends in Germany.25.What does the word “overwhelmed” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean?A.annoyed B.disturbed C.defeated D.worried26.Which does the author think is a surprising source of vocabulary?A.Menus in cafes. B.The supermarket. C.Stationary shops. D.TV and radio.27.Which would be the best title for this passage?A.My Best Helper in Vocabulary Learning B.Difficulties of Living in GermanyC.Ways to Improve the Communication Skills D.Improve life Using Pen and Paper8.(2023·吉林·东北师大附中校联考模拟预测)Leia was fresh out of college when she began working as a member of a business-development team at a mid- size tech company. Though her skills had earned her the job, she was the youngest person in the team. “Everybody else was pretty much twice my age,” she says. “I heard about comments being made behind my back. There were a couple of times when my superiors referred to my age right in front of me, saying I was too young, ‘What does a 23- year-old know about these things?’”Leia tried to change things by altering her appearance at work. “I changed the way I dressed. I tried to dress older, more ‘ladylike’. I changed my mannerisms and tried to act older,”she says. “It worked, to an extent.” The comments about her age and perceived ( 认定的) inexperience lessened, but Leia says she still felt like her growth potential was limited. She left the company soon after.What Leia experienced was ageism traditionally seen as something only older people face. For instance, older workers might be judged based on assumptions that they won’t fit into a progressive office dynamics or learn technology as quickly. A US study showed that nearly two-thirds of workers aged 45 and older had seen or experienced age discrimination. But younger workers face age discrimination, too. In fact, new research shows it may actually be the youngest team members who are bearing the impact of workplace ageism right now.Leia says removing ageism entirely will ultimately require a fundamental change to corporate culture, which has long tied seniority ( 资历) to skill. “We prize years of experience a little too much, and I don’t think years of experience and skill are necessarily related,” she says. “Steve Jobs was 21 when he founded Apple. We don’t know how much younger people actually have to contribute. Hopefully, more employers are realizing it.”28.What was the main topic of Leia’s superiors about her?A.Her job skills. B.Her young age.C.Her cute appearance. D.Her family background.29.Why didn’t Leia stay any longer at the company?A.She failed to dress more lady-like.B.She received more negative comments.C.She felt pressure from her work to an extent.D.She wanted more space for her growth potential.30.Which statement agrees with the US study the most?A.Only older people face age discrimination at work.B.Young workers can’t fit into a progressive office.C.Older workers are very slow technology learners.D.Young workers are seriously affected by ageism.31.Why does Leia mention Steve Jobs?A.To offer information about the Apple Company.B.To tell about Steve Jobs’ unknown contribution.C.To say that skill does not always come with age.D.To show that skill alone matters to young people.9.(2023秋·北京丰台·高三统考期末)It was a week after my mom had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.But something about my friend’s words—“I can help organize the whole thing”—stuck with me. I felt obliged (有义务的)to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.32.Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?A.She felt it hard to finish the race.B.She had no time to join in the event.C.She thought the research meaningless.D.She was reminded of her mother’s death.33.What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death?A.The company of her friends. B.The inspiration from her mom.C.The pleasure in going for a run. D.The success in organizing an event.34.Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom?A.Considerate and polite. B.Brave and humorous.C.Strong-willed and caring. D.Outgoing and patient.35.What might be the best title for the passage?A.How I Got Healed in Running B.The Loss of Sweet MemoriesC.What Matters Most in Running D.The Rewards of Great Friendship10.(2022秋·重庆·高三重庆南开中学校考阶段练习)It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, a doctor and his daughter, Ava, were taking full advantage of it. They were driving with the windows down as they headed home. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by the sharp sound of tires.Not far ahead of them, a black pickup was sliding from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it slammed into a concrete barrier, flipped over the SUV directly ahead of them, and came to rest dangling over the railing(栏杆) of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.And then a scream came from the pickup. Bauer ran to it. The driver pointed down. In the water was a car seat.A girl, about two years old, was terrified, floating on her back, kicking and splashing and screaming.Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t move. Maybe he was in shock.He held no illusions about his chances jumping from this height into such shallow water. Four feet of depth was the most he could hope for. And were there rocks this close to the concrete pillar(柱子) of the bridge?He climbed onto the railing and took a leap of faith. A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom-unhurt! Bauer swam to the girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit her back with the flat of his hand. After several attempts, thankfully, her eyes were opened, focused on him. He pulled her close, hugging her to shield her from the cold.Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a firef ighter so that she too could save lives.36.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ____.A.bearingB.expectingC.enjoyingD.judging37.What do we know about the accident?A.Many vehicles rushed into a concrete barrier.B.A black pickup was crashed into by a SUV.C.Ava got seriously injured in the accident.D.Bauer managed to stop his car just in time.38.What made Bauer’s jump very dangerous?A.The lack of faith in his jump.B.Not knowing how deep the water was.C.The hard objects in the shallow water.D.The little girl’s being unable to swim.39.How did Bauer bring the girl back to life?A.By forcing out the choking water.B.By protecting her from getting cold.C.By breathing fresh air into her mouth.D.By dragging her out of the water quickly.高考质量提升是一项系统工程,涉及到多个方面、各个维度,关键是要抓住重点、以点带面、全面突破,收到事半功倍的效果。

I had never failed a test before, and had never even come close. Driving made me anxious , but my parents told me I had to. They signed me up for driving lessons.I had gotten a perfect score for my written permit exam , but getting behind the wheel was a different story.But when October 30th rolled around ,my pride set in. I wanted to be like everyone else at my school , showing off the brand new license they'd gotten. Looking back on that special day,I can't remember if I was nervous. What I do remember is starting the test , pausing at a stop sign after a few seconds , and being asked by the instructor to pull over. I had received an auto-fail since my pause was indeed a pause and not a real stop.I wasn't upset that I was leaving without a license, but I was scared everyone would know that I had failed. So when I got to class, I told everyone I didn't want to take the test on my birthday.One Friday a month later, I went to the test spot again and passed.

It wasn't until midway through college that I came clean. It turned out plenty of my college friends had failed too! And I gathered enough courage to speak the fact out.

''Indeed, he did.After a few minutes, his mother said, ''Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order.We could use a sponge(海绵) , a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer? '' He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.His mother then said, ''You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let's go to the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it. '' The little boy leaned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!This famous scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were opportunities for learning something new, which is what scientific experiments are all about.Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert'smother responded to him?4.What happened when the boy dropped the milk bottle?A.He got injured and burst into tears.B.He cried over the broken milk bottle.C.His mother scolded him for making a mess.D.His mother encouraged him to play with the milk.5.What was his mother's purpose by inviting him to do the clean-up together?A.To inspire his creativity.B.To promote his responsibility.C.To develop his cooking skill.D.To improve his experiment ability.6.Why did the mother take the boy to the backyard?A.To fetch water for cleaningB.Top our milk into the bottle.C.To help him wipe off his memory of failure.D.To explore how to carry bottles successfully.7.What is critical to the scientist's creativity?A.His childhood toys.B.His mother's strictness.C.Lessons from making mistakes.D.Failure in scientific experiments.3.(2020届福建省泉州市高三第一次质检)Connie Monroe clicks a button, flicks her wrist and watches as her neighborhood floods. The shorelines are first to go. Then, the baseball fields at Fleming Park. By the time seawater reaches the senior center, it has flooded streets and over a dozen brick homes. Monroe moves her head up and down, side to side, taking in the simulated (仿真的) view. This is what could happen to Turner Station, a historic African American community southeast of Baltimore, as sea levels rise.Climate change presents many challenges to coastal communities and to those trying to prepare for its impacts, but one of the most basic is also one of the most vexing: How do you show people and convince them of a possible future?Communicating the realness and immediacy of the climate threat is hugely important to climate researchers and those aiming to lessen its causes. But it's also the most important to communities faced with coming changes that are already unavoidable. These projects need public support and input. That's why Monroe and other residents (居民) are being directed to sit in metal chairs, put on virtual reality headsets and watch their homes flood.Turner Station, a community which gets flooded easily, is trying to prepare. It has partnered with the Port of Baltimore, a few nonprofits and a local landscape architecture firm to adopt a range of tools and ways to communicate climate change to the public, because every person is different and every place is different.The virtual reality program is only the most recent, and perhaps the most effective step.

"How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf you were able to accomplish so much?"Ms. Keller's answer is a tribute (致敬) to her dedicated teacher. "If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar, "Little Annie" Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger to hardship. She was almost sightless herself and was, at one time, diagnosed as hopelessly "insane" by her caregivers. She was locked in the basement of a mental institution outside of Boston. On occasion, Little Annie would violently attack anyone who came near. Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope, however, and she made it her mission to show love to the child. Every day she visited Little Annie. For the most part, the child did not acknowledge the nursed presence, but she still continued to visit. The kind woman left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement. She believed Little Annie could recover, if only she were shown love.Eventually, doctors noticed the change in the girl. Where they once witnessed anger and hatred, they now noted a gentleness and love. They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve. Then the day finally came when this seemingly "hopeless'' child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she herself was helped by the kind nurse. It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller. She loved her, disciplined her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon of light to the world. Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helen's life; but it was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative child into a compassionate teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan, the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown." But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse, the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.4.The dialogue between Queen Victoria and Helen Keller is mentioned mainly to .A.show a deep admiration for Helen KellerB.prove that Helen Keller made a great contributionC.begin telling the story of Helen Keller teacher Anne SullivanD.get the reader interested in how Helen Keller achieved so much5.What is the hardship mentioned in the third paragraph?A.Sullivan had a strange disease.B.Almost everyone ignored Sullivan.C.Sullivan was kept away from her parents.D.Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.6.What can we conclude from the article?A.Sullivan liked the nurse from the very beginning.B.Sullivan experienced firsthand how terrible the life of a deaf child was.C.The elderly nurse had no doubt that Sullivan would be a great teacher.D.Without the nurse, Sullivan couldn't have helped Helen Keller later.7.Which of the following would be the best title for the article?A.The Power of LoveB.Making a DifferenceC.The Secret to Being a Good TeacherD.Similarities Between Anne and Helen5.(2020届广西桂林调研)Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wandered about the secrets of nature. Nature he often said, is full of secrets, He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work.

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

As the story goes, I was three days old a nd Mom was singing “The Name Game” song to me: “ChristineBo-Bean-Banana-Fanna-Fo-Feen.” By day four, I was given a new name—Christine-Bo-Bean, or just Bo-Bee to my mother. Now, I am Bo to her and close friends.Why is this nickname(昵称)so important to me? I once read a book with a passage about True Names which explains that when a person’s true name is sp oken, she has a distinct aura(光环)around her. Although I have been Bo to my mother all my life, I recently discovered that my true name is not on my birth certificate; it’s the name that is as unique and memorable as I am.People usually know me as Christin e. They still see me as a quiet, bookish child. They don’t know who I am now. My most recent hopes, fears, goals, dreams and opinions escape their notice; it is easier to think of me as Iwas. In their minds, they have a box labeled “Christine” in which I fit neatly, and as Christine, I was content with the perfect packaging.Those who call me Bo or Bo-Bee really know me. They remember who I was and realize I have changed. Bo is a tight squeeze in the old “Christine” boxes. The Bo I am is ever-changing, ever-growing andever-learning.When I was Christine, I was quiet, and easily scared. I feared groups, meeting new people and sharing my opinions. I was more comfortable with a book than my best friend. As Christine, I thought everyone was better than I was.As Bo, I still love my books, but I want to discuss them. As Bo, my dream is to live where I can experience new things and meet new people. I dream about being alone on a stage lit by a single spotlight; I have that confidence now. I am equal to those I once saw as better than me.A name shouldn’t make such a difference, but sometimes, when a person finds his or her True Name, they develop a new shine visible to friends, family and especially themselves.I can’t always be Bo. Sometimes exposing myself is st ill scary and I feel too nervous; I want to hide in those old boxes. Mostly, however, I am ready for the world. So, just call me Bo.4.When was the author given a nickname?A.When she was three years old.B.On the fourth day after she was born.C.Seven days after she was born.D.When she received the old “Christine” box.5.What do the people know about the author as Christine?A.They think the author is active and crazy.B.They care about the author’s most recent feelings.C.They don’t realize the author has changed.D.They don’t know the author has changed her name.6.What kind of person was the author in the past?A.She showed no interest in reading.B.She took pleasure in finding new things.C.She loved reading and sharing books with friends.D.She lacked confidence and preferred to be alone.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Bo—the True NameB.A Unique NameC.Remember the PastD.The Meaning of Nickname8.(2020届河南省焦作市高三三模)During Rick’s birth in 1962, his brain was damaged for oxygen lack. The doctors told Dick Hoyt that there was no hope of his son being anything more than a “vegetable”. Yet Dick and his wife were determ ined to raise him at home.At age 13, Rick told his father he wanted to participate in a five-mile benefit run for the disabled.

During the r un, Rick felt as though he wasn’t disabled anymore—he was simply one of the runners.

But gradually, what began as a way for Rick Hoyt to experience inclusion and equality broadened in its purpose. Running together became a way to send a message that, as Rick s aid, everybody should be included in everyday life. The pair’s first Boston Marathon in 1981 finished in the top quarter of the field, and shortly thereafter, attitudes began to change. Many athletes would come up to them before the race to wish them luck.The 2013 Boston Marathon was the 31st time the Hoyts had run the race, and it was also their last race. Dick has run thousands of miles to be with and support his son.

Would we even make it a week without going mad? Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small four-walled space.There were a number of other potential options. We could move out into the suburbs like most people do in our extraordinarily expensive city and have a small yard maybe even a basement. But there was something about this neat “tiny” home that aroused our interest, which challenged us. We like to live differently from the crowd, to avoid what everyone else is doing “just because” everyone else is.“Let’s try it for six months. If it makes us crazy, we’ll move. We can do anything for 6 months,” my husband said. It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us by surprise. We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found appealing. But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible options. There’s no room for clutter(凌乱的东西), either. This is a gift!It’s been 8 months, and we’re staying. Perhaps forever. When a space is this small, you don’t need to spend much in furnishing it, and you can’t keep endlessly buying things. There’s nowhere to put them!This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and enjoy life. For us, living in a “tiny” home has filled us with a feeling of abundance.It’s so much better than feelingweighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things. I highly recommend it.24.W hat can we learn from the words of the author’s husband?A.He didn’t like to stay in the small space.B.He made up his mind to stay in the small space.C.He was uncertain about living in the small space.D.He encouraged the author to live in the small space.25.What do we know about the author’s experience from the text?A.It was depressing but inspiring.B.It was challenging but interesting.C.It was disappointing but touching.D.It was embarrassing but rewarding.26.What’s the main advantage of living i n the small room to the author?A.She could enjoy life more. B.She could avoid the crowds.C.She could clean the room easily. D.She could enjoy a feeling of freedom.27.What is the best title for the text?A.A new trend of living B.The joy of living “tiny”C.Save space, save money D.Make good use of space10.(2020届河南省新乡市高三第二次模拟)Najib is an Afghan who grew up in Iran.

He is among those who signed up for classes, although he admits progress has been slow.

I never thought of myself as a special person, but I always dreamed to be a superhero like Batman and Superman.One morning, I awoke, slipped out of bed and looked out of the window. There was a world covered in a sea of white snow. I hurried to get dressed and set out to take a walk in the snow with my drone(无人机).When I wandered in the park near my home, I saw the frozen river lying there peacefully. Then, a young girl came into my sight. She ran happily, followed by her mom from a distance. Suddenly, she was so excited that she accidentally rushed to the ice on the river. There was a creak (嘎吱声)and the girl, sensing something wrong, said “Mommy!” just before the ice gave way. With a splash(落水声), the young girl crashed through the ice.

As the woman yelled “Help!” at passers-by, I was already moving across the ice to get the girl. I tried to pull her up but the ice further broke and I fell in too. As the water began to make me very cold to the bone, I thought only of the young girl. I grasped her under the arms and pushed her up onto the ice near the edge. I was of almostno help so the mother reached out and pulled her daughter into her arms.“Take her. So c-c-c cold.” I said as I pushed the girl upwards.The woman turned back to help me using the scarf but I was nowhere to be seen. Blackness enveloped me.With a start I awoke!

Yet, to many of her students, the 33-year-old is more than that. Cheng’s care for her rural students has extended beyond the classroom and makes her a mother figure to them all.During the just past summer vacation, Cheng didn’t take time off but paid home visits to rural students of the Liling Primary School, which is located in the mountains more than 120 kilometers from the central area of Poyang county, East Chin’s Jiangxi province.Most students have been left behind by their parents, who have to go to work far away from home and are looked after by their grandparents.“Seeing these special families and special children is what made me realize the importance of rural education, and it is one of the major reasons why I have stuck around all these years,” says Cheng, who also grew up in Poyang.Since learning that one of her students, Tan Yeting, and her brother, were just depending on the small income of their grandparents’ handmade broom business, Cheng would pay regular visits to Tan’s home. She would check the homework assignment of the two children, play games with them and cut their hair. These interactions have helped both children grow in confidence and shake off their timid nature at school.“Cheng is just like our mother,” Tan says.“I feel like I can talk to her about anything, ”she adds.Cheng voluntarily chose to move to the school last year after she learned it was in need of faculty members. She has since helped to improve the teaching facilities, and went out of her way to reach children scattered around the surrounding rural area and persuade them to come to school.Thanks to her efforts, approximately 200 children in the neighborhood have been able to enjoy a better education.5.What was Chen Feng doing during the past summer vacation?A.She was on a holiday in the mountain.B.She was looking after her students in school.C.She was helping her students with their homework assignment.D.She was visiting her rural students in remote areas.6.What do we know about Tan Yeting?A.Her parents deserted her brother and her.

She was so beautiful and the fact that she was deaf just made us fall in love with her even more—we knew that she would fit right into our family. ”The distinctive dog, who has one blue eye, was dirty, sick and nervous when she was abandoned by a breeder who decided the deaf dog would not make him any money.Miss Williams said, “I feel so angry that someone abandoned her because in his eyes she was not ‘perfect’. It goes to show with a little effort it is easy to cope with a deaf puppy—she has already learned the signs for several basic commands. I want everyone to see how well we have bonded with Puppy and how well she is getting on—she is so special to us. ”Julie Stone, manager of The Blue Cross, said, “It was amazing to see h ow Marie, Mark and their children immediately bonded with Puppy and how they knew just how to get her attention. They are a brilliant match and Puppy has found the perfect home where I know that she will get the love she deserves. ”The Blue Cross, which depends entirely on public donations, rehomes thousands of dogs, cats, horses, and small animals every year through its network of adoption centers.13.What can we infer from the text?A.A deaf dog is good at learning sign language.B.A deaf dog tends to get along well with deaf people.C.A deaf dog is clever enough to learn all commands.D.A deaf dog can be trained and become a wonderful pet.14.What did Marie and Mark decide to do when they saw Puppy?A.Take care of her regularly.

With a houseful of kids and dogs and a farm’s worth of horses to evacuate, the family forgot the cards during the stress. Naturally, the diehard (顽固的) San Francisco Giants and Little League lefty with a swing as smooth as butter was upset. When she watched the Giants on TV, she would lay out ea ch player’s card on the floor in his corresponding field position. “I like baseball cards because they are pictures of people doing happy stuff —doing what they love, and what I love.” said Reese.Reese’s loss touched the hearts of the Fresno County fire department, which posted her story on its Facebook page with a request to help Reese restore her baseball card collection. That, in turn, touched the heart of Kevin Ashford.Ashford knew exactly where Reese could find replacement cards: in his garage. He had more than 25,000 in his collection, with an exact value of 35,000 to 50,000. Ashford had been thinking about selling them when he saw the fire department’s post. “I wasn’t really doing anything with them,” said Ashford,“I thought I could take care of th is problem rather quickly.”First volunteers transported the cards from Ashford’s garage to theirs and then surprised Reese during a tour of the firehouse. Towers of Ashford’s cards were piled in front of the fire engine. After thanking Ashford, Reese was quick to share the thousands of baseball cards she received from Ashford and donors around the country with other kids affected by California’s Creek Fire.She’s gotten so many, in fact, that she started Cards From Reese, an organization that collects card s and donates them to those in need. Reese is especially happy to part with Los Angeles Dodgers cards. As she explains it: “Go Giants!”17.Why did Reese lose her baseball cards?A.She had a very large concern.B.The family forgot where Reese put the cards.C.Her house was burnt by the destructive.D.Someone from a houseful of kids took away her cards.18.What does the underlined word “evacuate” in Para 2 mean?A.flee B.resettle C.raise D.withdraw19.After Ashford saw the post, he __________.A.wanted to sell the cards to the department.B.transported the cards to the firehouseC.decided to donate his cards to ReeseD.prepared to sell his cards to Reese In his his garage20.Reese established “Cards from Reese” in order to ___________.A.Give cards to people in needB.share her passion for baseball with othersC.collect all her cards for some benefitsD.get help from the Fresno County Fire department6.(2023·全国·一模)Close to a century ago, New York’s Coney Island was famed for its sideshows (杂耍). Eye-catching signs crowded the island’s attractions, showing off circus shows, sword swallowers—and even an exhibition of tiny babies.The babies were premature ones kept alive in incubators (婴儿保育箱) pioneered by Dr. Martin Couney. The medical establishment had reject ed his incubators, but Dr. Couney didn’t give up on his aims. Starting in 1896, he funded his work by displaying the babies and charging 25 cents to see the show. In return, parents didn’t have to pay for Dr. Couney’s incubators, and many children survived who would never have had a chance otherwise.Born in 12, Lucille Horn ended up in an incubator on Coney Island. She’d been born a twin, but her twin died at birth. And the hospital staff told her father that there wasn’t a chance she’d live. “It was just: You die because you didn’t belong in the world,” Horn says. But her father refused to accept that answer. He grabbed a blanket to wrap her in, called a taxi, and took her to Coney Island—and to Dr. Couney’s infant (婴幼儿) exhibit.Years later, Horn decided to return to see the babies—this time as a visitor. When she took the opportunity to introduce herself, Dr. Couney went over to a man who was uneasily looking at his small infant. “Look at this young lady,” Dr. Couney told the man. “She’s one of our babies. And that’s how your baby’s gonna grow up.”Horn was just one of thousands of premature infants that Dr. Couney cared for and displayed at amusementparks until the 194s. He died in 1950, shortly after incubators like his were introduced in most hospitals. At the time, Dr. Couney’s efforts were largely unknown—but at least one person will never forget him. “Ninety-six years later, here I am, all in one piece. And I’m thankful to be here,” Horn says.21.What can we learn about Dr. Couney’s incubator?A.It pushed medical science forward. B.It was the most famous sideshow.C.It saved many premature babies. D.It charged each infant 25 cents.22.Why was Horn taken to Dr. Couney’s infant exhibit?A.She belonged in nowhere else but Coney Island.B.It was the only place where she might survive.C.The hospital staff lacked the patience to care for her.D.Her father refused to accept the death of her twin sister.23.What is the purpose of Dr. Couney’s words in Paragraph 4?A.To relieve the man’s anxiety.B.To introduce the lady to the man.C.To promise the baby’s bright future.D.To explain the function of the incubator.24.What should we learn from Dr. Couney’s story?A.Medical knowledge.

Along the way, she hopes to raise money for the Sunrise Movement,an organization focused on mobilizing(动员)climate activists around the country to create a sustainable future.Bacon, who lost her job during the COVID-19, was inspired to set foot on the journey after reading the book The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells.

Her most recent update on Monday showed sle had already walked more than 650 miles in 46 days. As of now,Bacon is only about $8,500 short of her $20,000 fundraising goal for Sunrise Movement.“I hope people understand there is so much more we can be doing,and climate change is here and reallyimportant,” she added, “No one is perfect but there are lifestyle changes we can all make.”25.What is the purpose of the long-distance hike?A.To encourage people to walk.

Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and a variety of cups — porcelain(瓷), plastic, glass — telling them to help themselves to the coffee. Meanwhile the professor stood nearby watching.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups have been taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. It is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, which is the source of your problems and stress.”“Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really want is coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other’s cups.”“Now consider t his: Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of the life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor(品味) the coffee, not the cups! Don’t let the cups drive you... enjoy the coffee instead.”After listening to his words, the students tasted coffee carefully and found it more delicious than ever. 29.Why did the professor take out various cups with a large pot of coffee?A.To show his wealth.

He’d entered the pond in a rowboat and was hacking a way at the ice with a rock to create a path to the dog.It was slow going, and Arens, 44 , thought he stood a better chance. He took off his clothes, even though the temperature was -30℃ , and jumped into the rowboat.His heart beating fast, Arens slid closer to the dog and used the other man’s rock to smash away at the ice. He gave himself a strong pull and slipped off the boat, crashing into 1 6 feet of freezing water. He resurfaced in time to see the dog going under. Using nervous energy to keep warm, he swam about five feet toward her, grabbed hold of her collar, and pulled her to the ice. He then boosted the dog into the boat and slid it back to the shore, where anxious bystanders carried the dog to the home of the rowboat owner.Once in the house himself, Arens jumped into a warm shower with the dog until they both felt warmer.A few more minutes in the pond, the vet (兽医) told Arens, and she would have likely suffered heart failure.The next day, Arens was back working in the same neighborhood when the dog’s owner came over to thank him for saving Sadie.Arens says, “That special delivery was the highlight of my career.”33.What does the underlined word “ hacking” in paragraph three most probably mean?A.cutting B.finding C.mending D.adopting34.Why does Arens think “he stood a better chance” (in paragraph four) according to the passage?A.He was able to jump into the rowboat.

Our mission is to create safe spaces that empower our kids to learn about their intrinsic worth as they learn, grow, and build.”Many kids now gather after sc hool in this safe place to ride, play, and help out in the garden. “Pretty much any kid can find a place here to belong,” La Font said. “For the fact that they built their park, there’s ownership over it.

To date, 50 students have been certified in mechanics, and 2,000 kids have benefited from the program.“People say to me, ‘Thank you for keeping kids busy and out of the streets’,” La Font said. “I don’t like that because it says kids are the problems to be solved.

高中英语记叙文阅读专项训练之记叙文

高三年级二轮复习阅读理解部分专题之记叙文主备人:李甜云一.记叙文记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手法,以记人、叙事为主要内容的文章。

1传记传记属记叙文的一种,是用来记载人物生平事迹的文章。

在教学过程中,教师要指导学生通过时间和事件的关系把握文章的主线。

此类体裁的文章通常被分为四部分,即A. childhood years B. early manhood C. great achievement D. remarks。

教师应当引导学生按照下列主线来理解传记类文章:人物→时间与事件→成功/成就/信仰→评价。

这样使学生在准确地理解课文的同时,也能学到传记类文章的写作方法。

2故事类故事类文章也是记叙文的一种。

文章多以人物、事件为中心,以时间和空间为线索,按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事。

此类篇章情节性较强,教师可指导学生按照事件叠加、情节逐步展开的特点和解决问题,以人物一系列动作为线索的显著特征进行略读,即可以较快地获得篇章的主要信息。

然后,教师再引导学生按照situation→problem→actions→conclusion迅速、准确地理解和掌握文章的细节。

二.“八字诀”:综观理脉检索整合一、综观——握要。

首先着眼于文章的整体,注意理清内部的相互关系,从宏观上居高临下地驾驭文章,领会文章的主旨内涵。

其次还要看文章的作者、写作时间和文后的注释等,特别要浏览一下后面问了哪些问题,从题目的选项中揣测文章的主旨,明确作者的主要写作意图。

二、理脉——分层。

磨刀不误砍柴功。

把握了全篇的主旨,理清了文章的脉络,再解答后面的问题,就如顺风行船,事半功倍。

可是有些考生不在这方面下功夫,走马观花地看一遍文章,似懂非懂,就急于解答后面的问题,结果是欲速则不达,不仅费时费力,还容易答错。

三、检索——筛选。

先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域,确定对应的语句,题目一般是从选文里有可能被考生忽略且又不一定真懂的地方抽出来编成各种形式的问题,用来考查学生的理解能力。

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. On this day, Zhang Tian saw a video about patient escorts on a short video platform. The daily routine of patient escorts shown in the video fascinated her and gradually inspired her to take this on as a business. She browsed through many platforms and read multiple information and found there indeed exists a certain demand for patient escorts, especially for the elderly, children, and pregnant women. Since she had never engaged in this kind of work before, she spent two days in major hospitals in Wuhan, in order to familiarize herself with all the departments on different floors, as well as the processes of medical consultation and preparation for surgery.After preliminary preparatory (预备的) work, Zhang Tian posted a video of myself-introduction on major social platforms, talking about the help and services a patient escort provides, as well as some tips for a quick and convenient medical consultation. At first, she was a little worried that her video would go unnoticed.

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.

高三年级二轮复习阅读理解部分专题之记叙文主备人:李甜云一.记叙文记叙文是以叙述、描写为主要手法,以记人、叙事为主要内容的文章。

1传记传记属记叙文的一种,是用来记载人物生平事迹的文章。

在教学过程中,教师要指导学生通过时间和事件的关系把握文章的主线。

此类体裁的文章通常被分为四部分,即A. childhood years B. early manhood C. great achievement D. remarks。

教师应当引导学生按照下列主线来理解传记类文章:人物→时间与事件→成功/成就/信仰→评价。

这样使学生在准确地理解课文的同时,也能学到传记类文章的写作方法。

2故事类故事类文章也是记叙文的一种。

文章多以人物、事件为中心,以时间和空间为线索,按事件的发生、发展、结局展开故事。

此类篇章情节性较强,教师可指导学生按照事件叠加、情节逐步展开的特点和解决问题,以人物一系列动作为线索的显著特征进行略读,即可以较快地获得篇章的主要信息。

然后,教师再引导学生按照situation→problem→actions→conclusion迅速、准确地理解和掌握文章的细节。

二.“八字诀”:综观理脉检索整合一、综观——握要。

首先着眼于文章的整体,注意理清内部的相互关系,从宏观上居高临下地驾驭文章,领会文章的主旨内涵。

其次还要看文章的作者、写作时间和文后的注释等,特别要浏览一下后面问了哪些问题,从题目的选项中揣测文章的主旨,明确作者的主要写作意图。

二、理脉——分层。

磨刀不误砍柴功。

把握了全篇的主旨,理清了文章的脉络,再解答后面的问题,就如顺风行船,事半功倍。

可是有些考生不在这方面下功夫,走马观花地看一遍文章,似懂非懂,就急于解答后面的问题,结果是欲速则不达,不仅费时费力,还容易答错。

三、检索——筛选。

先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域,确定对应的语句,题目一般是从选文里有可能被考生忽略且又不一定真懂的地方抽出来编成各种形式的问题,用来考查学生的理解能力。

答案要从选文里找,准确抓住关键语句。

只要认真揣摩上下文意,大多数题目的答案在原文中是能够“抠”出来的。

四、整合——审查。

应注意几点答题要求:1、看是否要用自己的话;2、看要求是否有字数限制(没有要求在简练的基础上多多益善);3、注意表述的范围、角度和方式,用规范的语言表达。

三.要求能力1、理解语篇主旨大意2、理解文章具体信息3、根据上下文推断生词的词义4、做出简单判断和推理5、理解文章的基本结构6、理解作者的观点、意图和态度四题型动态1、主旨大意题2、细节理解题3、词义判断题4、推断题5、观点态度题1 主旨大意题文章主旨给出的四种形式:文首,文中,文尾,没有明确主旨,需总结。

虽然作者表达主题思想的方式不同,但命题常用的提问方式有以下几种:★做题要领:文章主旨通常会出现在文首,文中或文尾,因此寻找主题句或主题段往往是做好此类题的键。

但当文中没有直接出现主题句,应对文章意思全面理解后归纳概括主旨,但不能太笼统即不切主题,言过其实或以偏概全。

2 细节理解题这类题目是针对文章的具体事实和细节而出,因此通常能在文章中直接或间接地找到答案.此类要求查找重要事实和细节的试题通常以下列形式提出:How does the author/writer feel about___?3词义/语义判断题这类考题常见的提问方式有以下几种:Acco rding to the author, the underlined word”…” means____.From the passage, we can infer that the word”…”is___.★“…” can be best replaced by___.What does the author probably mean by”…”?By”…”, the author means that___★做题要领做此类题时,应在文中找线索或信息词。

根据上下文判断新词汇在特定句中确切意思。

根据周围熟悉的词及语义判断新单词之意,有时还需依靠构词法。

4推断题以原文内容为前提,透过现象看本质即透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思。

根据作者的观点理论客观地对文中未明显说明的现象或事例给予合理的逻辑推断,做出一定解释。

推断题的常见形式:It can be inferred / concluded from the text that____.★From the text we know that ______.The passage implies that ______.The paragraph following the passage will most probably discusses______.解推断题的方法:解推断题最主要的方法是根据语义关系推断具体细节。

5 观点态度题回答这类问题应从篇章的体裁入手.一般来说,在说明文中作者的态度是客观的或中立的;在议论文中,作者的态度才会显得多种多样. 可以根据阐述主题或有关主题的相关语句或词语确定作者的态度。

常见的态度词语有:positive support approval(赞同的)optimistic★critical negative tolerant disappointedpessimistic(悲观的) indifferent(冷淡的) doubtfulNeutral(中立的)objective(客观的)这类考题常见的提问方式有以下几种:五.实战练习。

(I)The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year,but it's always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day.But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus' resurrection(复活)from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them. But no matter what one does with Easter eggs,they are an important Easter tradition throughout the Western world. People from many different cultures celebrate Easter. In both America and Belgium, children look for Easter eggs hidden on lawns and in bushes. In America, children believe the eggs are hidden by the Easter bunny (兔子).But in Belgium, the hidden eggs are supposed to have fallen from church bells. In Bulgaria (保加利亚), red Easter eggs are lucky in churches. Bulgarian families also hit these Easter eggs together to see whose is the strongest. The winner looks forward to good fortune that year.

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

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is "the thought that counts". Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? _________.A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.2.What do you think "florists" do? _________.A. They sell flowers.B. They make and sell bread.C. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special gifts for Mother's Day and Father's Day.3.Which do you think is right about "carnation"? _________.A. It has only two kinds of colors.B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother's Day or Father's Day.C. It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.1-3 DACVIt was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods.We were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cellphone and a credit card sitting on the road.We took them home.We always find amazing things on the street and Maggie looks upon them a movable feast—a chicken wing here and a barbecue rib there.I found another cellphone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book.I explained the situation to the guy who answered.He said it was his sister’s and that he’d come to pick it up, which he did.And that was that.No verbal thank-you, no written thank-you, no “here’s a box of chocolates” thank-you.I didn’t have time to call anyone on my latest found cellphone.I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate(震动)and dance across the kitchen counter.“Who’s this?” someone asked when I picked up.“Who’s this?” I countered.(反问)“Sarah?”She was surprised at my knowing her name until she realized her name was on the credit card, “Could you send them to me?” she asked.She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house.“Humm, no,” I replied, adding that I thought she could come to get them, and that if I wasn’t at home, they would be in my mailbox.A day later, when I was out for a run, someone retrieved (取回)them.There wasn’t even a piece of paper put in the mailbox with “Thanks”on it.In this age of e-mail and cellphone, there’s really no excuse.Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street: a driver’s license.I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up.He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door.“I guess I could,” I replied.And that was that.14.What is the relationship between Maggie and the writer?A.Wife and husband.B.Daughter and father.C.Teacher and student.D.Master and pet dog.15.How did the writer know it was Sarah calling?A.From her telephone’s phone book.B.From her credit card.C.From her e-mail.D.From her driver’s license16.The writer wants to tell us _______ through the unusual stories.A.we should return the things we pick to the ownersB.people don’t know how to appreciate others because of the use of e-mail and cellphone C.people should learn to appreciate persons who provide help to youD.the advance of society make people lose some virtuesDBC。
