妙招

一、题型解读
记叙文是以写人、记事、状物为主要内容,以记叙和描写为表达方式的文章。一篇记叙文,无论长短都应该是一个完全独立的事实,描写人物、地点、事件和过程,表达作者的某种情感。主要具有以下特点:内容上,记叙文应该包括六要素,即:时间、地点、人物、起因、经过和结果。可以按事件发生的时间顺序写,也可以按事件发生的先后写。命题上,主要集中在多个事件的先后顺序与人物的情感态度上。选材上,新颖、生动、真实、典型的素材描写,让读者有身临其境的感觉。形式上,顺叙、倒叙、插叙。语言上,一般过去时为主,各种时态为辅,合理使用丰富多彩的谓语动词时态是英语记叙文首要的语言特征;多用动词,尤其是动态强的行为动词是英语记叙文又一个明显的语言特征。
二、体裁结构
1.记叙文的开头通常交代事件的背景,即事件发生的时间、地点、有关人物等内容。2.记叙文的展开(中间)通常以人物活动的时间顺序、空间位置变换、事件发生的顺序或人物的主次性格特征为行文线索。3.记叙文的结尾通常是依照事件的发生、发展和结局这样一个自然的顺序来结尾。
三、写作意图
1.讲述故事 ( tell / narrate / relate a story)
2.分享经验 (share an experience)
3.纪念人物 (remember a person)
4.阐明道理 (communicate an idea / convey a message)
四、解题策略
1.关注细节
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节,包括记叙文的5W(what, who, when, where, why)要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候,就没有那么复杂,一般只需要由前到后,从上到下,一题一题地做就可以了。
2.注重联系
在做题过程中,我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题,抓住题干中的关键词语,然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句,或是疑似语句的位置,接着去左顾,或右盼,在前句或后句寻找线索。
3.读懂表象
主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题,或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候,不可被题干的表象所迷惑,要像剥洋葱一样,一层一层地剥;在四个可选项中,一个一个地去证实,去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目,比如“What can be inferred from …?”或是What does the author imply in…?”之类的题目,文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找,在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。
4.挖掘意义
每年的高考阅读题中,特别是记叙文的阅读题,都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧平生的,或者和你有点头之交,在文中却另有新意的,总之,猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词,一个短语,考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度,也不是你的记忆力,而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。
五、记叙文主旨概括题
1.首段法:首段主旨句;转折词后;破折号后
2.核心名词法:核心名词在文章中高频出现。可是“原词”或“同义词”不断曝光。
3.合并法:整合各段落大意,整合各段落首段信息
4.首位呼应法:整合首段和尾端信息
六、记叙文细节理解题
1.划出题干,选项关键词;
2.回忆文章结构,定位具体段落;
3.理解细节内容,最后找出答案;
4.正确选项的特征:原词复现/同义词、近义词替换;语言高度凝练概括。
七、实用答题妙招
1.阅读理解记叙文细节理解题居多,落实“题文同序”和“同义替换”。
2.数据计算题注重“原文定位”“细节理解”,弄清来龙去脉再计算。
3.文章寓意题要注意言外之意,尤其是首尾段做出合理推测判断。
4.人物性格描述题注意捕捉原文褒贬性词汇再进行同义替换和排除。
5.满分策略:读题干→找原文→做标记→留痕迹→看选项→扣字眼。

Africa-bound! And only seven hours left of a 19- hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair.
At eight years old, I was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible.
After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English.
Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good?
One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move.
All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward.
The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight.
When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.”
That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club.
And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference.

“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.”
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, they’re asked to come up with interesting wild ideas to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagine lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (闪光) , Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse... or snakes?” Milks asks. The students suggest making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their expected benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor of earth and atmosphere science at Indiana University, who has carefully watched the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not ‘I can’t do it’. It’s ‘we can do it’. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”
1.What might be a purpose of Kirstin Milks’ lessons about climate change?
A.To find innovative ways to power cars.
B.To encourage students to read news critically.
C.To make science basics more accessible to students
D.To inspire students to play their part for the society.
2.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.Procedures of the lesson. B.The core value of creativity.
C.Potentials of different students. D.The key concept of solutions.
3.Which can best describe Kirstin Milks’ way of teaching?
A.It prioritizes practical application. B.It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C.It encourages creative problem-solving. D.It highlights the risks of climate change.
4.Why does the author mention Ben Kravitz in the last paragraph?
A.To prove Milks’ point. B.To praise Milks’ virtue.
C.To support Milks’ practice. D.To express Milks’ hope.

On a hot June day in 2015, I retired after 34 years of teaching high school. Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.
I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.
I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.
Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.
After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.
I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.
I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.
1.Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?
A.To impress his friends and relatives. B.To avoid the boredom of retirement.
C.To start a new career as a concert pianist. D.To pursue a long-time passion for music.
2.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.The author attended a concert of piano music.
B.The author performed successfully despite a few errors.
C.The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.
D.The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.
3.What does the author do with his piano now?
A.He uses it for music lessons. B.He uses it for performance.
C.He uses it for something unrelated to music. D.He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.
4.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Inner- directed and hardworking. B.Conventional and careless.
C.Ambitious and kind-hearted. D.Lazy and pessimistic.

I recently watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary on Netflix, and I have to tell you how impressed I was with his life story.
I remember back in high school when my girl Clara and I were the only two girls in the gym working out and lifting weights. Yes, this was back in the dinosaur days when girls didn’t go to the gym. There were all these posters around Arnold. He was the bodybuilder of the day. He won the Mr. Universe title aged 20, and subsequently the Mr. Olympia title seven times. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time and has written many books and articles about it. He was a hero to so many of us gym rats.
But what got me was his determination to get where he is today. He had a dream, and he went after it. He came from a small town on the other side of the world. They said he couldn’t make it in bodybuilding, but he went on to be one of the world’s most famous bodybuilders. They said he would never be an actor because of his accent, but in spite of that, he became box office gold. They said he had no potential for becoming a governor, but he showed them, winning not one but two terms in office and making some world changes while in there.
He didn’t let anything or anyone stop him from what he wanted. No matter how many disappointments, how many failures, or how many people told him he couldn’t do it, it just made him more determined to prove them wrong.
So today, my friends, the lesson here is to never give up, to hold onto your dream no matter how crazy others may think it is. To work hard and despite how many times you get knocked down or told no, that you keep fighting. Because as you can see here, dreams do come true.

Emma Patterson, an 88-year-old resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, has devoted her life to the extraordinary mission of fostering (收养) children.

As Emma continued her journey, her influence extended beyond her home. The children she fostered grew up and went on to lead successful lives, proof of the strong foundation she provided. Many of them stayed in touch, expressing their gratitude and acknowledging the crucial role Emma played in their lives. Her home was more than a temporary shelter. It was the starting point for a brighter future for many.
Montgomery County honored her for her exceptional service and dedication, recognizing the countless hours and the boundless love she invested in each child she fostered.

Going on your first solo (独自的) holiday can be a frightening prospect — in fact, it took Anne Mortlock three years to pick up the courage to book her first adventure.
Anne Mortlock initially felt hesitant about traveling alone, but was encouraged by her sister, a travel agent, to take her first solo trip with Just You, a tour company catering to solo travelers. Her first voyage took her to China, which she found “just perfect”, prompting her to quickly book another adventure to Namibia.
In Namibia, Anne experienced what she called “happy to be alive” moments, including an unforgettable encounter with a herd of elephants during a game drive.

Other highlights included an optional cruise (乘船游览) in Walvis Bay, where she enjoyed dolphin sightings along with oysters and champagne.
The natural beauty of Namibia’s deserts and sand hills left a lasting impression on Anne, as did the iconic trees of the Petrified Forest, which are believed to be 700 years old. She appreciated the guidance of a local tour guide who introduced them to unique locations, such as a mountaintop offering unique views of the plains below.
Traveling with a diverse group of fellow solo adventurers, Anne developed lifelong friendships. She explained: “The group was a nice mix of ages and everyone had such a mix of life stories and experiences — they were a fascinating bunch of people to travel with. These connections were so impactful that four of us in the group planned future activities together back in the UK.”
Now filled with confidence to explore more of the world, Anne is looking forward to traveling to Vietnam with her sister and brother- in- law. She also has her eye on Costa Rica and another African adventure, though she has yet to decide on a specific destination.

However, a severe ankle injury during a regional competition forced her to reevaluate her approach to the sport and her life.

When training for my first marathon, I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better.
In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.
I then found I genuinely love running. I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards — clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face.
I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough.
1.Why did the author cry after the final training run?
A.Because she had to stop working out. B.Because she lost the data on the watch.
C.Because she became physically worn out. D.Because she felt a sharp pain in the legs.
2.The author used to view exercise tracking as __________.
A.a fun hobby for enjoyment B.an opportunity to get better education
C.a method of escaping punishment D.a way of being a better runner
3.What does “being better” mean to the author now?
A.Getting pleasure out of winning races. B.Being more focused on her speed.
C.Improving her overall well-being. D.Freeing herself from school tasks.
4.What can we conclude from this passage?
A.Adjustment brings happiness. B.Passion is the key to success.
C.Sports contribute to happiness. D.Success equals self-improvement.

When Hurricane Gilbert struck her native Jamaica in her childhood, Morrison and her family were left without running water in their home for three months. Every day, they traveled to her grandfather's home near the business district where water had already been restored to collect what they needed for the day.
Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most.
Morrison, who received a master's degree in engineering science at the Harvard John A.Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences(SEAS), has spent the last 14 years trying to create a bridge between organizations looking to make a difference. In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects. “We have our own projects that we do, but we also help a lot of groups that have their own projects.”
Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record.
Morrison also contacted charitable organizations, set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. “That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal, ”she said.
1.Why does the author mention Morrison's childhood experience?
A.To illustrate her stubborn nature.
B.To introduce hardships she once suffered.
C.To reveal the source power for her future career.
D.To indicate a lack of efficiency of the local public service.
2.What can be learned about Do Good Jamaica?
A.It was independently set up by Morrison.
B.It started with the attempt to break a Guinness Record.
C.It mainly helps other groups with their voluntary projects.
D.It functions as a bond between organizations and the government.
3.What do Morrison's words mean in the last paragraph?
A.She has a team of high efficiency.
B.She stresses the importance of friendship.
C.She is proud of her good quality social network.
D.She received much help and support in her voluntary work
4.Which of the following words can best describe Morrison?
A.Responsible and devoted. B.Ambitious and loyal.
C.Honest and hardworking. D.Stubborn and idealistic.

Behind a large house, six tigers pace around inside an enclosure. It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home.
It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.”
That place is the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center. The state-run facility is one of the 23 animal rescue centers in Viet Nam and the only one equipped to offer a shelter to both surrendered (交出) tigers like these and those confiscated (没收) by authorities.
Tigers are an endangered species, and it is illegal to hunt, keep or sell them in Viet Nam. Still, the tiger trade develops fast in some parts of Asia, driven by a demand that sees all parts of the tiger used, including bones that are used in traditional medicine to cure bone-related illnesses or to make glue that is mixed with wine for consumption, and teeth and skin that are prized as decorative items.
When tigers are confiscated from the illegal trade or voluntarily surrendered by owners, they are transported to the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center where they are cared for, alongside other rescued animals. Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species.
“Rescued animals are usually not in a very healthy state,” says center director Luong Xuan Hong. So professionals give new arrivals a thorough check-up to detect any injuries or diseases, before coming up with a suitable program to help them recover.
On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats.
1.Why did the middle-aged man feel unhappy?
A.He saw his tigers badly treated. B.He had no one but tigers to rely on.
C.He had to say goodbye to his tigers. D.He was punished by an official agent.
2.What can be known about the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center?
A.It only takes in unhealthy animals. B.It has seen the drop of tiger trades in Asia.
C.It allows individuals to adopt rescued animals. D.It has made achievements in saving species.
3.What can we learn about the six tigers from the last paragraph?
A.They will be released into the wild very soon. B.They will live a comfortable life in the center.
C.They will be quarantined for a longer period. D.They are living in harmony with other species.
4.Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A.A Rescue Center Is Taking Off B.Six Tigers Find a New Home
C.Many Tigers Are in Danger in Viet Nam D.New Arrivals Adapt Quickly in a Shelter

She could have just quit. The race was long decided, and it was raining cats and dogs. But the drenched Bou Samnang knew that she was running for her country — Cambodia. So she kept going, racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh. And for that, she has won over fans around the sporting world and beyond.
“I tried to reach the finish line because I wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same,” she said in an interview. “Even if we’ re in last place, even if the weather is terrible, even if it feels like we can’t do it, we should not give up.”
Social media around the world shared the video of her finishing the women’s 5, 000-meter race on May 8 at the Southeast Asian Games, which Cambodia is hosting for the first time.
In the video, the sound of rainfall is mixed with cheers and shouts of encouragement as Bou Samnang finally nears and then crosses the finish line, almost six minutes behind the winner, Vietnam’s Thi Oanh Nguyen. As she waves her hands to acknowledge the fans who brave the rain to cheer her on, her face is wet with tears and rain as she lifts her country’s flag.
The athlete said later that she was disappointed to finish last, but also happy to hear people supporting her — and surprised that the video caused such great excitement.
The runner’s performance was also noted by Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni, who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing.
The Southeast Asian Games is held every two years and athletes from the 11 nations in the region compete against each other in 581 events. Its closing ceremony is set for Wednesday.

I grew up in Florida, surrounded by my extended family, but we can trace our ancestry back to Texas when it still belonged to Mexico. Our language, customs and even the names my ancestors called themselves have since largely been lost to forced assimilation (同化). Yet our oral traditions, expressed through storytelling, poetry and jokes, persist.
My grandmother and mother taught me, a lovely girl, that the natural world around us has stories to tell if you listen closely. After all, language is not unique to humans. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my grandmother’s cracked concrete porch watching one of the many doves she had nursed back to health land in her raised hand after she called out to it. When dark storm clouds gathered over the half-finished roof, my mother would take a steak knife from the kitchen to the outside of the house, pointing it to the sky to cut the rain away. My friends thought it was magical how nature seemed to bend to my mother’s will.
It makes sense that I became an author. My life is built around stories. When I lived in New York and Los Angeles, I’d have to hike very far to find a piece of nature to be in — the rare tree in downtown Los Angeles, or the ginkgoes near Inwood Hill Park in New York City. Now in East Tennessee, I walk a few steps past my porch, into my garden — two small pieces of land that borders my two-story white and greenish-blue farmhouse. When I first moved here, non-native European grass blanketed the thirsty clay, red as dried blood. I dug up eight garden beds in the middle of that grass, filling them with plants native to my region: cone flowers and aromatic aster, bee balm and Virginia blue bells. I tried growing squash peppers, yellow watermelon and white eggplant but the plants languished. My land seems to want nothing but flowers. So I am trying my hand at planting zinnias, cosmos and dahlias instead.
If I am creatively blocked, I walk barefoot on the earth, no matter what the season, allowing stories to feed the roots of my entire body. If I have a plot hole I need to fix, I visit my lemon and lime basil, keeping my fingers with their sweet scents (气味).
1.What plays a role in keeping traditions alive in the author’s view?
A.A close family relationship. B.The practice of storytelling.
C.The values of society members. D.An atmosphere of growth.
2.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A.How the author became a gardening expert.
B.How the author fed himself with stories.
C.How the author connected with nature.
D.How the author was inspired by stories.
3.Which can best replace the underlined word “languished” in paragraph 3?
A.Stood out. B.Survived. C.Developed. D.Faded away.
4.What can be inferred about the author from the text?
A.She’s a very responsible person.
B.She’s a nature-loving writer.
C.She’s a passionate traveller.
D.She’s a professional gardener.

Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”
1.What did the author think of the two-mile walk home?
A.It reflected his value.
B.It was the most troublesome.
C.It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns.
D.It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers.
2.How did the author feel when he saw the hedge?
A.Disappointed. B.Hopeful. C.Frustrated. D.Regretful.
3.Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge?
A.The author often changed routes back home.
B.He wanted to help the author build up courage.
C.He was really concerned about his son’s safety.
D.That was the only way he could express his love.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.It’s about my father’s special love. B.It’s about my childhood life.
C.It’s about my terrible journey home. D.It’s about my riding bus alone.

When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn’t always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.
Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Gold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children’s Library. My 18-month-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don’t understand — a library is more than books; it’s a community.
Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first e-mail address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled (咯咯地笑) too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn’t a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library offered me my first teaching job.
I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can’t always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.
1.Why does the author consider herself lucky today?
A.She has become her mother’s best friend.
B.She has access to a reliable car now.
C.She lives close to libraries.
D.She can meet friends at the library.
2.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Socializing in a library.
B.Reading books in a library.
C.Visiting a library with a family member.
D.Building parent-child friendship in a library.
3.What did the author do at the library according to the passage?
A.She told stories to her mother. B.She learned how to go online.
C.She got her current teaching job. D.She initially read Judy Blume novels.
4.What is the author’s attitude to her students’ way of visiting libraries?
A.Cautious. B.Ambiguous.

For the past decade, Benjamin Sack has been an artist-in-residence on a Holland American cruise ship. This unique opportunity allows him to observe architectural details from cities worldwide, which he then engages into his detailed pen drawings.
Sack first approached Holland America—a company known for its round-the-world cruises — after he finished university. He pitched a unique idea: an “artist residency” where he’d give drawing classes and lectures to passengers on art. He also offered to create a large drawing to record the voyage.
“Long story short, they loved the idea and welcomed me aboard, saying it would only happen this one year. Ten years later, I’m now the court artist to King Neptune himself,” he says jokingly.
Sack now has his own artist studio on board the ship, where he works on his drawings inspired by the journeys around the world. “I’m lucky in that the room comes with a view that's ever changing,” he says. “Perhaps it’s the best art studio in the world.” At the end of each voyage, he presents the final drawing to the passengers and crew.
Sack captures the incredible scale and complexity of his journeys, as well as the rich details that define each place. From the splendid architecture of Japan’s Himeji Castle to the elegant modern buildings on Singapore’s Marina Bay, his works are a magical mirror of world architecture. Florence, in particular, is a favorite destination, and its iconic Duomo has been included into many drawings. “Architecture is merely music frozen in time,” Sack poetically expresses. “It also can represent the human form in countless ways, physically and metaphorically: the body is a temple... So, in fact, each building is a character, portrait, or even a note fitted together in a symphony of movement and form.”
“On land, the drawings are fixed to the studio. On the ship, the studio travels, and the drawing exactly records the movement of a journey around the planet-as I draw lines, a little bit of the ship’s movement is recorded; this slight difference repeated a thousand times breathes a whole different spirit into the work,” he shares.
1.What is special about Benjamin Sack?
A.He is an architect who draws great pictures. B.He lives both in Holland and America.
C.He creates pen drawings at sea. D.He possesses a ship company.
2.What do we know about Sack’s career?
A.The idea didn’t emerge until he went on a round-the-world cruise.
B.He proposed to the company his idea at university.
C.He now serves the King as a court artist.
D.It has lasted longer time than expected.
3.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.Sack’s first impression of different architecture.
B.The themes and features of Sack’s works.
C.Sack’s ideas about the world.
D.The places Sack has been to.
4.What attaches different spirit to his work according to Sack?
A.The subtle changes in his repeated lines. B.His extraordinary drawing techniques.
C.The literary records in the journey. D.The best art studio in the world.

Finns love to read: It’s their favorite thing to do in their time off. The country is a little smaller than Montana, but its library network is larger, with hundreds of central libraries, branch libraries and mobile libraries.
I was two years old when my family set foot in Finland. We settled in Porvoo, a small city of around 50,000 people about an hour away from the capital, Helsinki. One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language — my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library.
I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public. When I visited for the first time, I was so in awe that I cried.
I rarely, however, borrowed a book. Perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong. But unlike the real world, books never distressed me — even crime, horror and thriller titles — and I read everything.
I spent as much time as I could in the new library — falling in love with books and stories and the Finnish language; gaining confidence as a speaker; and dreaming of writing a book of my own one day, slowly growing from a reader to a writer.
1.What problem did the author meet with arriving in Finland?
A.He had few friends to make with. B.He felt discouraged to read a book.
C.He couldn’t read books in Finnish. D.He couldn’t find available libraries.
2.What can be inferred about the newly-built library of Porvoo?
A.It took a decade to build. B.It never failed to impress
C.It received the most readers. D.It aroused readers’ creativity.
3.Which is closest in meaning to “distressed” in paragraph 4?
A.Worried. B.Drew. C.Satisfied. D.Surprised.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Experience Cultures of Finland B.Recall Old Days in Albania
C.Pursue My Dreams in Helsinki D.Read My Way Through Porvoo
【新八省阅读·记叙文19】(24-25高三上·云南·开学考试)
Carrie Gracie is knowledgeable about China and its affairs. She also has a reputation as a generous colleague. She has resigned from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because she refused to go on colluding (共谋) with the BBC’s dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal work.
Gracie was recruited to the job, because she had all the talent and skills the BBC needed to cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China. One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBC’s other international editors, familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy Bowen in the Middle East.
Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over £150, 000. The results exposed an astonishing pay gap. They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her.
Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, but they fail to respond adequately. Instead, they prevaricate (搪塞) and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off. They thought that the reputational hazard she was running would scare her away from the fight.
The BBC is wrong this time! Gracie has chosen to resign rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid. She is fighting for women’s legal rights. Gracie said she hoped she wouldn’t be remembered as the woman who complained about money, but as a great journalist. She is proving that they are two sides of the same invaluable coin.
Carrie Gracie’s dispute with the BBC isn’t about money — it’s about dignity!
1.Why did Gracie choose to resign from BBC?
A.She didn’t like doing similar jobs with men
B.She requested for a pay rise but was turned down
C.She decided to expose the BBC’s unequal payment towards males and females.
D.She could earn a reputation by using the BBC’s influence.
2.What kind of person is Gracie?
A.Bossy and ambitious. B.Fearless and resolved.
C.Creative and talented. D.Knowledgeable and humorous.
3.What does the underlined word “hazard” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Inspiration. B.Dominance. C.Risk. D.Interest.
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The BBC attached little importance to the government’s regulations.
B.Gracie was not satisfied with what the BBC had offered her.
C.The BBC eventually apologized to the public for its pay gap.
D.Gracie bravely revealed the truth and fought for women’s legal rights.
【新八省阅读·记叙文20】(24-25高三上·河南·开学考试)Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.”
Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September.
“Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins.
Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.”
When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another!
Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old.
Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.”
1.What does the author think of writing to a pen pal?
A.It is an old and gradually reborn practice. B.It has been widely adopted by schools.
C.It is an entirely new connecting way. D.It is an outdated and unnecessary tradition.
2.Why did PCES introduce students to the tradition of having pen pals?
A.To teach them about other cultures. B.To pair them with international pen pals.
C.To help them bridge the generation gap. D.To get them involved in community connections.
3.What do we know about Daylon McCarty from the text?
A.She lives on the beach now. B.She is energetic and curious.
C.She has retired and enjoys teaching. D.She has never had a pen pal before.
4.What is Jennifer Norton’s attitude towards the pen pal program?
A.Indifferent. B.Opposed. C.Doubtful. D.Appreciated.

作答解题
妙招
)
一、题型解读
记叙文是以写人、记事、状物为主要内容,以记叙和描写为表达方式的文章。一篇记叙文,无论长短都应该是一个完全独立的事实,描写人物、地点、事件和过程,表达作者的某种情感。主要具有以下特点:内容上,记叙文应该包括六要素,即:时间、地点、人物、起因、经过和结果。可以按事件发生的时间顺序写,也可以按事件发生的先后写。命题上,主要集中在多个事件的先后顺序与人物的情感态度上。选材上,新颖、生动、真实、典型的素材描写,让读者有身临其境的感觉。形式上,顺叙、倒叙、插叙。语言上,一般过去时为主,各种时态为辅,合理使用丰富多彩的谓语动词时态是英语记叙文首要的语言特征;多用动词,尤其是动态强的行为动词是英语记叙文又一个明显的语言特征。
二、体裁结构
1.记叙文的开头通常交代事件的背景,即事件发生的时间、地点、有关人物等内容。2.记叙文的展开(中间)通常以人物活动的时间顺序、空间位置变换、事件发生的顺序或人物的主次性格特征为行文线索。3.记叙文的结尾通常是依照事件的发生、发展和结局这样一个自然的顺序来结尾。
三、写作意图
1.讲述故事 ( tell / narrate / relate a story)
2.分享经验 (share an experience)
3.纪念人物 (remember a person)
4.阐明道理 (communicate an idea / convey a message)
四、解题策略
1.关注细节
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节,包括记叙文的5W(what, who, when, where, why)要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候,就没有那么复杂,一般只需要由前到后,从上到下,一题一题地做就可以了。
2.注重联系
在做题过程中,我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题,抓住题干中的关键词语,然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句,或是疑似语句的位置,接着去左顾,或右盼,在前句或后句寻找线索。
3.读懂表象
主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题,或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候,不可被题干的表象所迷惑,要像剥洋葱一样,一层一层地剥;在四个可选项中,一个一个地去证实,去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目,比如“What can be inferred from …?”或是What does the author imply in…?”之类的题目,文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找,在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。
4.挖掘意义
每年的高考阅读题中,特别是记叙文的阅读题,都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧平生的,或者和你有点头之交,在文中却另有新意的,总之,猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词,一个短语,考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度,也不是你的记忆力,而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。
五、记叙文主旨概括题
1.首段法:首段主旨句;转折词后;破折号后
2.核心名词法:核心名词在文章中高频出现。可是“原词”或“同义词”不断曝光。
3.合并法:整合各段落大意,整合各段落首段信息
4.首位呼应法:整合首段和尾端信息
六、记叙文细节理解题
1.划出题干,选项关键词;
2.回忆文章结构,定位具体段落;
3.理解细节内容,最后找出答案;
4.正确选项的特征:原词复现/同义词、近义词替换;语言高度凝练概括。
七、实用答题妙招
1.阅读理解记叙文细节理解题居多,落实“题文同序”和“同义替换”。
2.数据计算题注重“原文定位”“细节理解”,弄清来龙去脉再计算。
3.文章寓意题要注意言外之意,尤其是首尾段做出合理推测判断。
4.人物性格描述题注意捕捉原文褒贬性词汇再进行同义替换和排除。
5.满分策略:读题干→找原文→做标记→留痕迹→看选项→扣字眼。

Africa-bound! And only seven hours left of a 19- hour flight before I would arrive in South Africa for my third volunteer trip in three years. But this time it was different. I’d be there alone for a whole year, without friends or family. Plus, I had one challenge other volunteers fighting AIDS in Africa didn’t have — I was in a wheelchair.
At eight years old, I was paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the waist down in a car accident. I spent months in a hospital, learning how to use a wheelchair, how to get up from the floor and how to dress myself. Basically how to live my life as independently as possible.
After graduation from college, I made a year- long commitment to Lily of the Valley Children’s Village, outside Mophela, South Africa, where 90 percent of the children are infected with HIV. I would see to the kids’ medical needs and teach math and English.
Those first few weeks were hard, harder than anything I had done before. I forced myself to keep trying. I needed to prove myself. But how could I tell if I was doing any good?
One night, a big storm hit. I rolled out of my cottage the next morning and my chair lurched (突然倾斜), the wheels sinking into mud. I grasped the wheels tight and pushed hard. The chair wouldn’t move.
All of my worst worries seemed to be coming true. I was stuck, hopelessly stuck. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw children running toward me. Two of the oldest grabbed the handlebars and the others pushed me forward.
The wheels came free. The kids shouted with delight.
When I said “Thank you!”, they laughed, “You help us. We help you.”
That echoed in my ears all day. The next morning, the kids were waiting to push me through the mud to homework club.
And the day after that, it became our little routine. The more they helped me, the easier it got to help them. The kids and I bonded. I wasn’t alone during my year in Africa. Not at all. I had reached out to the people I was assisting, and they, in turn, became my support. I was aware, more than ever, that anyone, even in a wheelchair, can make a difference.

“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.”
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, they’re asked to come up with interesting wild ideas to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagine lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (闪光) , Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse... or snakes?” Milks asks. The students suggest making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their expected benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor of earth and atmosphere science at Indiana University, who has carefully watched the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not ‘I can’t do it’. It’s ‘we can do it’. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”
1.What might be a purpose of Kirstin Milks’ lessons about climate change?
A.To find innovative ways to power cars.
B.To encourage students to read news critically.
C.To make science basics more accessible to students
D.To inspire students to play their part for the society.
2.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.Procedures of the lesson. B.The core value of creativity.
C.Potentials of different students. D.The key concept of solutions.
3.Which can best describe Kirstin Milks’ way of teaching?
A.It prioritizes practical application. B.It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C.It encourages creative problem-solving. D.It highlights the risks of climate change.
4.Why does the author mention Ben Kravitz in the last paragraph?
A.To prove Milks’ point. B.To praise Milks’ virtue.
C.To support Milks’ practice. D.To express Milks’ hope.

On a hot June day in 2015, I retired after 34 years of teaching high school. Then, I drove to meet my new piano teacher, Mark.
I had worked for more than three decades as a busy English teacher with an endless stream of papers to mark and precious little time to experiment or learn new skills. I was determined to make up for all I had been missing. I wanted to finally master the piano and learn how to make music.
I told Mark I had a specific concrete goal: to play Clair de lune by Claude Debussy, a piece I remember hearing from early childhood.
Determined that there would be a day when I would totally master this piece, I set myself a deadline: I would perform before a gathering of friends on my 60th birthday. For months I did nothing but furiously (猛烈地) practise. When the day came, around 30 friends and relatives crowded into my dining room to hear me play, and aside from a few minor slips, I managed to pull it off without embarrassing myself. People clapped warmly. I made it. I had risen to a challenge, but I still didn’t feel that I was really “making music”.
After that, my progress was painfully slow. I had come to hate hearing myself play music badly. I got no pleasure from the act of missing notes.
I began focusing on what few things I could do: gardening and cycling. I came to understand that I didn’t have to be that man I’d always thought I ought to be. I could just do what feels good. So, after nearly five years of lessons, I quit.
I still love music; I regularly go out to concerts. But now my piano does nothing more than sit silently in my dining room, displaying family photos and collecting dust. And I’m perfectly happy with that.
1.Why did the author learn the piano after retiring from teaching?
A.To impress his friends and relatives. B.To avoid the boredom of retirement.
C.To start a new career as a concert pianist. D.To pursue a long-time passion for music.
2.What can be inferred from paragraph 4?
A.The author attended a concert of piano music.
B.The author performed successfully despite a few errors.
C.The author felt embarrassed about his piano performance.
D.The author quit his piano immediately after his 60th birthday.
3.What does the author do with his piano now?
A.He uses it for music lessons. B.He uses it for performance.
C.He uses it for something unrelated to music. D.He plays it for personal enjoyment occasionally.
4.Which of the following can best describe the author?
A.Inner- directed and hardworking. B.Conventional and careless.
C.Ambitious and kind-hearted. D.Lazy and pessimistic.

I recently watched the Arnold Schwarzenegger documentary on Netflix, and I have to tell you how impressed I was with his life story.
I remember back in high school when my girl Clara and I were the only two girls in the gym working out and lifting weights. Yes, this was back in the dinosaur days when girls didn’t go to the gym. There were all these posters around Arnold. He was the bodybuilder of the day. He won the Mr. Universe title aged 20, and subsequently the Mr. Olympia title seven times. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time and has written many books and articles about it. He was a hero to so many of us gym rats.
But what got me was his determination to get where he is today. He had a dream, and he went after it. He came from a small town on the other side of the world. They said he couldn’t make it in bodybuilding, but he went on to be one of the world’s most famous bodybuilders. They said he would never be an actor because of his accent, but in spite of that, he became box office gold. They said he had no potential for becoming a governor, but he showed them, winning not one but two terms in office and making some world changes while in there.
He didn’t let anything or anyone stop him from what he wanted. No matter how many disappointments, how many failures, or how many people told him he couldn’t do it, it just made him more determined to prove them wrong.
So today, my friends, the lesson here is to never give up, to hold onto your dream no matter how crazy others may think it is. To work hard and despite how many times you get knocked down or told no, that you keep fighting. Because as you can see here, dreams do come true.

Emma Patterson, an 88-year-old resident of Montgomery County, Maryland, has devoted her life to the extraordinary mission of fostering (收养) children.
Her fostering journey began quite unexpectedly. As her own children grew up, they started bringing home friends who needed more than just a place to hang out — they needed care. These children were often hungry, lacked proper clothing, or faced neglect at home. Emma, with her generous spirit, didn’t hesitate to open her doors and her heart.
What started with helping a few friends of her children quickly turned into a lifelong commitment to fostering. Over the years, Emma welcomed nearly 40 foster children into her home. At one point, she was caring for as many as 9 children simultaneously (同时).
Each child brought their own set of challenges and needs, but Emma faced each situation with firm dedication. Her home became a shelter for those who had nowhere else to turn to, providing not just the basics of food and shelter but also the emotional support and stability that many of these children had never experienced.
Despite these challenges, Emma committed to fostering each child until adulthood. She provided a stable home environment, guiding them through school and helping them achieve milestones they might have otherwise missed.
As Emma continued her journey, her influence extended beyond her home. The children she fostered grew up and went on to lead successful lives, proof of the strong foundation she provided. Many of them stayed in touch, expressing their gratitude and acknowledging the crucial role Emma played in their lives. Her home was more than a temporary shelter. It was the starting point for a brighter future for many.
Montgomery County honored her for her exceptional service and dedication, recognizing the countless hours and the boundless love she invested in each child she fostered. Emma’s story serves as an inspiration to others, showing that one person’s kindness and commitment can indeed change the world, one child at a time.
1.What motivated Emma to begin fostering children?
A.Her own children’s school task. B.Her long wish to foster children.
C.The demand of her community. D.Her witness to the children’s situation.
2.What did Emma provide for the fostered children?

Going on your first solo (独自的) holiday can be a frightening prospect — in fact, it took Anne Mortlock three years to pick up the courage to book her first adventure.
Anne Mortlock initially felt hesitant about traveling alone, but was encouraged by her sister, a travel agent, to take her first solo trip with Just You, a tour company catering to solo travelers. Her first voyage took her to China, which she found “just perfect”, prompting her to quickly book another adventure to Namibia.
In Namibia, Anne experienced what she called “happy to be alive” moments, including an unforgettable encounter with a herd of elephants during a game drive. The sight was so awe- inspiring that it made her speechless. She chose to capture the essence of the moment rather than trying to record it with her camera. Other highlights included an optional cruise (乘船游览) in Walvis Bay, where she enjoyed dolphin sightings along with oysters and champagne.
The natural beauty of Namibia’s deserts and sand hills left a lasting impression on Anne, as did the iconic trees of the Petrified Forest, which are believed to be 700 years old. She appreciated the guidance of a local tour guide who introduced them to unique locations, such as a mountaintop offering unique views of the plains below.
Traveling with a diverse group of fellow solo adventurers, Anne developed lifelong friendships. She explained: “The group was a nice mix of ages and everyone had such a mix of life stories and experiences — they were a fascinating bunch of people to travel with. These connections were so impactful that four of us in the group planned future activities together back in the UK.”
Now filled with confidence to explore more of the world, Anne is looking forward to traveling to Vietnam with her sister and brother- in- law. She also has her eye on Costa Rica and another African adventure, though she has yet to decide on a specific destination.
1.What does the underlined word “prompting” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Reminding. B.Allowing. C.Causing. D.Instructing.
2.Which can best describe Anne when she was in Namibia?
A.Delighted and grateful. B.Surprised and proud.
C.Regretful but relieved. D.Tired but excited.
3.What can be inferred about Anne’s fellow solo adventurers?
A.They are mostly young people. B.They make Anne’s travel colorful.
C.They have a spirit of adventure. D.They show Anne around many sights.
4.From which section of a website can the text be seen?
A.Sports. B.Celebrities. C.Events & Festivals. D.My Footprints.

Reminding提醒;B. Allowing允许;C. Causing导致,造成;D. Instructing指导。故选C。
2.推理判断题。由文章第三段中“In Namibia, Anne experienced what she called “happy to be alive” moments, including an unforgettable encounter with a herd of elephants during a game drive.

Ellie had always considered herself to be someone who faced challenges head-on. From a young age, she competed in gymnastics, always pushing her limits and striving to perfect her routines. However, a severe ankle injury during a regional competition forced her to reevaluate her approach to the sport and her life.
Recovery was slow and painful. Months of physical treatment and countless doctor visits were necessary before Ellie could even think about returning to gymnastics. During this period, she spent a lot of time reflecting on her passion for the sport and her fear that she might never compete again.

When training for my first marathon, I treated myself to an expensive fitness watch that tracked my time, pace and splits.
At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain. That tragic image of me crying on my living room floor pretty much sums up my relationship with exercise tracking technology.
It can be a total joy to watch your data change as you get stronger and faster, but sometimes it became a stick for punishment. I would compare my pace with other people’s or criticize myself for not doing it 30 seconds faster. I never really recognized this as a problem. To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better.
In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult. Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy. Once I started getting better, I reflected on what made me happy and what did not. So, I stopped tracking my runs and deleted all the data.
I then found I genuinely love running. I run around my local park with a silly little smile. But I do not love running quickly. I do not like races. I do not want to be pushed to be faster. I now notice how my legs feel and how my mind feels afterwards — clear and focused. I notice the smell of the wild plants and the sunshine on my face.
I am better. Sometimes I am worse. But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough.
1.Why did the author cry after the final training run?
A.Because she had to stop working out. B.Because she lost the data on the watch.
C.Because she became physically worn out. D.Because she felt a sharp pain in the legs.
2.The author used to view exercise tracking as __________.
A.a fun hobby for enjoyment B.an opportunity to get better education
C.a method of escaping punishment D.a way of being a better runner
3.What does “being better” mean to the author now?
A.Getting pleasure out of winning races. B.Being more focused on her speed.
C.Improving her overall well-being. D.Freeing herself from school tasks.
4.What can we conclude from this passage?
A.Adjustment brings happiness. B.Passion is the key to success.
C.Sports contribute to happiness. D.Success equals self-improvement.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.C 4.A
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文,作者从前追踪自己的训练数据,但是心理健康状况下降,后来认为“变得更好”应该要改善整体健康状况,这种改变和调整让自己爱上了跑步。
1.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At the end of my final training run, I threw myself down on the floor the moment I got home, only to see my watch had failed me. Twenty-one miles briefly flashed on the screen before it went blank and disappeared forever. I screamed in pain.(在我最后一次跑步训练结束时,我一到家就扑倒在地板上,结果发现我的手表坏了。21英里在屏幕上短暂闪现,然后就变成了空白,永远消失了。我痛苦得尖叫起来)”可知,在最后一次跑步训练后,作者大哭是因为她丢失了手表上的训练数据。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better.(对我来说,追踪成绩是自我提升的途径,重点是变得更好)”可知,过去作者将追踪成绩视作成为更好的跑步者的一种方式。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“In the past year, “being better” has taken on a different meaning. My mental health dropped, and things like brushing my teeth became unimaginably difficult.

4.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“To me, tracking was the route to self-improvement, and the point was to be better.(对我来说,追踪成绩是自我提升的途径,重点是变得更好)”及第四段段中“Being better stopped meaning getting faster or stronger. It meant taking care of myself and feeling some joy.(“变得更好”不再意味着更快或更强。这意味着照顾好自己,感受一些快乐)”及最后一段“But either way I’m moving forward slowly and firmly, and that’s good enough.(但不管怎样,我都在缓慢而坚定地前进,这就足够了)”可知,作者从前追踪自己的训练数据,但是心理健康状况下降,后来认为“变得更好”应该要改善整体健康状况,这种改变和调整让自己爱上了跑步,因此“调整会带来幸福”符合本文描述观点。故选A。

Gaia, a 9-year-old dog, lived in Dallas, Texas, with her elderly owner, Sandra. However, when Sandra fell ill and was hospitalized, Gaia found herself limited to a small backyard, longing for companionship. It was during this challenging time that a sympathetic neighbour, Lisa Kanarek, noticed Gaia’s solitude and decided to make a difference.

【新八省阅读·记叙文10】(24-25高三上·山西阳泉·阶段练习)
When Hurricane Gilbert struck her native Jamaica in her childhood, Morrison and her family were left without running water in their home for three months. Every day, they traveled to her grandfather's home near the business district where water had already been restored to collect what they needed for the day.
Watching her community recover from the hurricane taught Morrison a number of lessons she'd hang onto for the rest of her life:water is a critical resource and utility;people and organizations want to help after a disaster;and, because organization is difficult after such events, it's not always easy to determine what actions will help most.
Morrison, who received a master's degree in engineering science at the Harvard John A.Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences(SEAS), has spent the last 14 years trying to create a bridge between organizations looking to make a difference. In 2010, she co-founded Do Good Jamaica, a non-profit organization that's undertaken a number of projects around early childhood development, climate and emotional recovery in Jamaica, and has provided a digital database that connects organizations looking to cooperate on other kinds of projects. “We have our own projects that we do, but we also help a lot of groups that have their own projects.”
Do Good Jamaica started with the pursuit of a world record. Morrison had just joined the Rotary Clubs of Kingston when she read about a Rotary Club in California that had recently set a Guinness World Record for the most books donated to charity in seven days. Knowing that there was a shortage of children's books at Jamaican libraries, Morrison went to her own club to break the record.
Morrison also contacted charitable organizations, set up corporate sponsorships from booksellers like Scholastic, and even sought private donations through her alumni network at Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania. “That showed me the power of people working together on a single goal, ”she said.
1.Why does the author mention Morrison's childhood experience?
A.To illustrate her stubborn nature.
B.To introduce hardships she once suffered.
C.To reveal the source power for her future career.
D.To indicate a lack of efficiency of the local public service.
2.What can be learned about Do Good Jamaica?
A.It was independently set up by Morrison.
B.It started with the attempt to break a Guinness Record.
C.It mainly helps other groups with their voluntary projects.
D.It functions as a bond between organizations and the government.
3.What do Morrison's words mean in the last paragraph?
A.She has a team of high efficiency.
B.She stresses the importance of friendship.
C.She is proud of her good quality social network.
D.She received much help and support in her voluntary work
4.Which of the following words can best describe Morrison?
A.Responsible and devoted. B.Ambitious and loyal.
C.Honest and hardworking. D.Stubborn and idealistic.

Behind a large house, six tigers pace around inside an enclosure. It’s morning in northern Viet Nam’s hilly Thai Nguyen province. The strangers in the backyard — a team comprising animal experts from the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center, alongside representatives from the forest protection department — are here to move the tigers to their new home.
It’s a sad moment for their owner. “For nearly 20 years, I have treated them as my own children,” the middle-aged man said. “But I’m getting older, so our family has decided to voluntarily hand over the tigers to a trustworthy place.”
That place is the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center. The state-run facility is one of the 23 animal rescue centers in Viet Nam and the only one equipped to offer a shelter to both surrendered (交出) tigers like these and those confiscated (没收) by authorities.
Tigers are an endangered species, and it is illegal to hunt, keep or sell them in Viet Nam. Still, the tiger trade develops fast in some parts of Asia, driven by a demand that sees all parts of the tiger used, including bones that are used in traditional medicine to cure bone-related illnesses or to make glue that is mixed with wine for consumption, and teeth and skin that are prized as decorative items.
When tigers are confiscated from the illegal trade or voluntarily surrendered by owners, they are transported to the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center where they are cared for, alongside other rescued animals. Since it opened its doors in 1996, the center has rescued and received more than 32,000 individuals comprising over 100 different species.
“Rescued animals are usually not in a very healthy state,” says center director Luong Xuan Hong. So professionals give new arrivals a thorough check-up to detect any injuries or diseases, before coming up with a suitable program to help them recover.
On a recent summer afternoon, a handful of tigers drank water from concrete pools, slept in large leaf-filled enclosures or patted bunches of leaves hanging from cage tops in the midst of quiet surroundings. Once their quarantine (隔离期) period is over, the six tigers from Thai Nguyen will join their fellow big cats.
1.Why did the middle-aged man feel unhappy?
A.He saw his tigers badly treated. B.He had no one but tigers to rely on.
C.He had to say goodbye to his tigers. D.He was punished by an official agent.
2.What can be known about the Hanoi Wildlife Rescue Center?
A.It only takes in unhealthy animals. B.It has seen the drop of tiger trades in Asia.
C.It allows individuals to adopt rescued animals. D.It has made achievements in saving species.
3.What can we learn about the six tigers from the last paragraph?
A.They will be released into the wild very soon. B.They will live a comfortable life in the center.
C.They will be quarantined for a longer period. D.They are living in harmony with other species.
4.Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A.A Rescue Center Is Taking Off B.Six Tigers Find a New Home
C.Many Tigers Are in Danger in Viet Nam D.New Arrivals Adapt Quickly in a Shelter
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.B

She could have just quit. The race was long decided, and it was raining cats and dogs. But the drenched Bou Samnang knew that she was running for her country — Cambodia. So she kept going, racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh. And for that, she has won over fans around the sporting world and beyond.
“I tried to reach the finish line because I wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same,” she said in an interview. “Even if we’ re in last place, even if the weather is terrible, even if it feels like we can’t do it, we should not give up.”

The athlete said later that she was disappointed to finish last, but also happy to hear people supporting her — and surprised that the video caused such great excitement.
The runner’s performance was also noted by Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni, who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing.

I grew up in Florida, surrounded by my extended family, but we can trace our ancestry back to Texas when it still belonged to Mexico. Our language, customs and even the names my ancestors called themselves have since largely been lost to forced assimilation (同化). Yet our oral traditions, expressed through storytelling, poetry and jokes, persist.
My grandmother and mother taught me, a lovely girl, that the natural world around us has stories to tell if you listen closely. After all, language is not unique to humans. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my grandmother’s cracked concrete porch watching one of the many doves she had nursed back to health land in her raised hand after she called out to it. When dark storm clouds gathered over the half-finished roof, my mother would take a steak knife from the kitchen to the outside of the house, pointing it to the sky to cut the rain away. My friends thought it was magical how nature seemed to bend to my mother’s will.
It makes sense that I became an author. My life is built around stories. When I lived in New York and Los Angeles, I’d have to hike very far to find a piece of nature to be in — the rare tree in downtown Los Angeles, or the ginkgoes near Inwood Hill Park in New York City. Now in East Tennessee, I walk a few steps past my porch, into my garden — two small pieces of land that borders my two-story white and greenish-blue farmhouse. When I first moved here, non-native European grass blanketed the thirsty clay, red as dried blood. I dug up eight garden beds in the middle of that grass, filling them with plants native to my region: cone flowers and aromatic aster, bee balm and Virginia blue bells. I tried growing squash peppers, yellow watermelon and white eggplant but the plants languished. My land seems to want nothing but flowers. So I am trying my hand at planting zinnias, cosmos and dahlias instead.
If I am creatively blocked, I walk barefoot on the earth, no matter what the season, allowing stories to feed the roots of my entire body. If I have a plot hole I need to fix, I visit my lemon and lime basil, keeping my fingers with their sweet scents (气味).

【新八省阅读·记叙文14】(24-25高三上·宁夏石嘴山·阶段练习)
Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.”
1.What did the author think of the two-mile walk home?
A.It reflected his value.
B.It was the most troublesome.
C.It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns.
D.It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers.
2.How did the author feel when he saw the hedge?
A.Disappointed. B.Hopeful. C.Frustrated. D.Regretful.
3.Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge?
A.The author often changed routes back home.
B.He wanted to help the author build up courage.
C.He was really concerned about his son’s safety.
D.That was the only way he could express his love.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.It’s about my father’s special love. B.It’s about my childhood life.
C.It’s about my terrible journey home. D.It’s about my riding bus alone.
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.C 4.A

【新八省阅读·记叙文15】(2024·宁夏吴忠·模拟预测)
When I was small, my mother and I would walk to our local library in Franklin Square. As we didn’t always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.
Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Gold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children’s Library. My 18-month-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don’t understand — a library is more than books; it’s a community.
Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first e-mail address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled (咯咯地笑) too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn’t a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library offered me my first teaching job.
I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can’t always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.
1.Why does the author consider herself lucky today?
A.She has become her mother’s best friend.
B.She has access to a reliable car now.
C.She lives close to libraries.
D.She can meet friends at the library.
2.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Socializing in a library.
B.Reading books in a library.
C.Visiting a library with a family member.
D.Building parent-child friendship in a library.
3.What did the author do at the library according to the passage?
A.She told stories to her mother. B.She learned how to go online.
C.She got her current teaching job. D.She initially read Judy Blume novels.
4.What is the author’s attitude to her students’ way of visiting libraries?
A.Cautious. B.Ambiguous.
C.Disapproving. D.Favourable.
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.D 4.D

2.词句猜测题。由文章第二段中划线词上文“Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Gold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children’s Library.

4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can’t always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them. (我的学生们经常感到惊讶的是,他们可以通过智能手机借书,还可以参观长岛的各种图书馆。拿骚县和萨福克县公共图书馆以及大学图书馆使用的应用程序通过帮助他们查找资源,使他们的家庭作业更容易。尽管他们不能总是容易地参观当地的图书馆,但图书馆总是与他们同在)”可知,学生可以使用图书馆的应用程序查找资源,帮助做家庭作业,可以通过访问虚拟图书馆来获取想要的资源。由此可推测出,作者对学生们访问虚拟图书馆的方式是支持的、赞同的。故选D。
【新八省阅读·记叙文16】(24-25高三上·云南大理·阶段练习)
For the past decade, Benjamin Sack has been an artist-in-residence on a Holland American cruise ship. This unique opportunity allows him to observe architectural details from cities worldwide, which he then engages into his detailed pen drawings.
Sack first approached Holland America—a company known for its round-the-world cruises — after he finished university. He pitched a unique idea: an “artist residency” where he’d give drawing classes and lectures to passengers on art. He also offered to create a large drawing to record the voyage.
“Long story short, they loved the idea and welcomed me aboard, saying it would only happen this one year. Ten years later, I’m now the court artist to King Neptune himself,” he says jokingly.
Sack now has his own artist studio on board the ship, where he works on his drawings inspired by the journeys around the world. “I’m lucky in that the room comes with a view that's ever changing,” he says. “Perhaps it’s the best art studio in the world.” At the end of each voyage, he presents the final drawing to the passengers and crew.
Sack captures the incredible scale and complexity of his journeys, as well as the rich details that define each place. From the splendid architecture of Japan’s Himeji Castle to the elegant modern buildings on Singapore’s Marina Bay, his works are a magical mirror of world architecture. Florence, in particular, is a favorite destination, and its iconic Duomo has been included into many drawings. “Architecture is merely music frozen in time,” Sack poetically expresses. “It also can represent the human form in countless ways, physically and metaphorically: the body is a temple... So, in fact, each building is a character, portrait, or even a note fitted together in a symphony of movement and form.”
“On land, the drawings are fixed to the studio. On the ship, the studio travels, and the drawing exactly records the movement of a journey around the planet-as I draw lines, a little bit of the ship’s movement is recorded; this slight difference repeated a thousand times breathes a whole different spirit into the work,” he shares.
1.What is special about Benjamin Sack?
A.He is an architect who draws great pictures. B.He lives both in Holland and America.
C.He creates pen drawings at sea. D.He possesses a ship company.
2.What do we know about Sack’s career?
A.The idea didn’t emerge until he went on a round-the-world cruise.
B.He proposed to the company his idea at university.
C.He now serves the King as a court artist.
D.It has lasted longer time than expected.
3.What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.Sack’s first impression of different architecture. B.The themes and features of Sack’s works.
C.Sack’s ideas about the world. D.The places Sack has been to.
4.What attaches different spirit to his work according to Sack?
A.The subtle changes in his repeated lines. B.His extraordinary drawing techniques.
C.The literary records in the journey. D.The best art studio in the world.
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.A

3.主旨大意题。根据第五段“Sack captures the incredible scale and complexity of his journeys, as well as the rich details that define each place.

So, in fact, each building is a character, portrait, or even a note fitted together in a symphony of movement and form.”(Sack捕捉到了他旅行中的惊人规模和复杂性,以及定义每个地方的丰富细节。从日本姬路城的宏伟建筑到新加坡滨海湾的优雅现代建筑,他的作品就像一面神奇的镜子,映照出世界建筑的风采。特别是佛罗伦萨,是他最喜欢的目的地之一,其标志性的圣母百花大教堂已被融入到许多画作中。“建筑只是时间中凝固的音乐,”Sack诗意地表达道。“它还可以以无数种方式在物质和隐喻上代表人类形态:身体是一座庙宇……因此,事实上,每座建筑都是一个角色、一幅肖像,甚至是一个音符,它们共同构成了一场运动和形式的交响乐。”)”可知,本段主要讲述了Sack作品的主题和特点。故选B项。
4.细节理解题。根据最后一段““On land, the drawings are fixed to the studio. On the ship, the studio travels, and the drawing exactly records the movement of a journey around the planet-as I draw lines, a little bit of the ship’s movement is recorded; this slight difference repeated a thousand times breathes a whole different spirit into the work,” he shares.(“在陆地上,画作是固定在工作室里的。在船上,工作室是移动的,而画作则准确地记录了环球旅行的轨迹——当我画线时,船的移动也被稍微记录了下来;这种微小的差异重复了上千次,为作品注入了完全不同的灵魂,”他分享道。)”可知,Sack表示他的每一笔线条都纪录下了游轮航行过程中的细微移动,这给他的作品注入了完全不同的灵魂。故选A项。

Finns love to read: It’s their favorite thing to do in their time off. The country is a little smaller than Montana, but its library network is larger, with hundreds of central libraries, branch libraries and mobile libraries.
I was two years old when my family set foot in Finland. We settled in Porvoo, a small city of around 50,000 people about an hour away from the capital, Helsinki. One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language — my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library.
I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public. When I visited for the first time, I was so in awe that I cried.
I rarely, however, borrowed a book. Perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong. But unlike the real world, books never distressed me — even crime, horror and thriller titles — and I read everything.
I spent as much time as I could in the new library — falling in love with books and stories and the Finnish language; gaining confidence as a speaker; and dreaming of writing a book of my own one day, slowly growing from a reader to a writer.
1.What problem did the author meet with arriving in Finland?
A.He had few friends to make with. B.He felt discouraged to read a book.
C.He couldn’t read books in Finnish. D.He couldn’t find available libraries.
2.What can be inferred about the newly-built library of Porvoo?
A.It took a decade to build. B.It never failed to impress
C.It received the most readers. D.It aroused readers’ creativity.
3.Which is closest in meaning to “distressed” in paragraph 4?
A.Worried. B.Drew. C.Satisfied. D.Surprised.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Experience Cultures of Finland B.Recall Old Days in Albania
C.Pursue My Dreams in Helsinki D.Read My Way Through Porvoo
【答案】1.C 2.B 3.A 4.D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一家来到波尔沃定居,作者通过阅读来融入当地的生活的经历。
1.细节理解题。根据第二段“One thing it didn’t have were books in my family’s language—my first language, Albanian. I can’t say that I was ever encouraged to pick up a book. But once I learned how to read Finnish, I never stopped, becoming a frequent sight at the small school library.(有一样东西是没有的,那就是用我的母语阿尔巴尼亚语写的书。我不能说我曾经被鼓励去拿起一本书。但是,一旦我学会了如何阅读芬兰语,我就再也没有停下来,成为学校小图书馆的常客)”可知,作者到达芬兰时看不懂芬兰语的书。故选C。
2.推理判断题。根据第三段“It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen: endless shelves carrying tens of thousands of books, records, movies, magazines and newspapers. And the best part was that everything was free. I couldn’t understand how that was possible. All these books, these worlds, this information —free of charge? Really?(这是我见过的最美的东西:无数的架子上放着成千上万的书籍、唱片、电影、杂志和报纸。最棒的是一切都是免费的。我不明白这怎么可能。所有这些书,这些世界,这些信息都是免费的吗?真的吗?)”可知,波尔沃新建的图书馆总是给人留下深刻的印象。故选B。
3.词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Perhaps I was just scared that something would happen to the books if they were somewhere they didn’t seem to belong.(也许我只是害怕,如果这些书出现在它们似乎不属于的地方,会发生什么事情)”以及后文“even crime, horror and thriller titles—and I read everything”可知,上文提到了作者担心书籍出现在不属于它们的地方会发生什么事情,结合“But unlike the real world”中but表示转折,说明但与现实世界不同的是,书从来不会让我担心——即使是犯罪、恐怖和惊悚类的书——作者什么书都读。故划线词意思是“担心”。故选A。
4.主旨大意题。根据第三段“I was 10 years old when the new building of the main library of Porvoo opened its doors to the public. When I visited for the first time, I was so in awe that I cried.(当波尔沃主图书馆的新楼向公众开放时,我才10岁。当我第一次去参观的时候,我被吓哭了)”结合文章主要讲述了作者一家来到波尔沃定居,作者通过阅读来融入当地的生活的经历。可知,D选项“在波尔沃一路阅读”最符合文章标题。故选D。
【新八省阅读·记叙文19】(24-25高三上·云南·开学考试)
Carrie Gracie is knowledgeable about China and its affairs. She also has a reputation as a generous colleague. She has resigned from her job as China editor because her employers will not pay her at the same rate as they pay the handful of men who do a similarly challenging and important job. She has resigned because she refused to go on colluding (共谋) with the BBC’s dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal work.
Gracie was recruited to the job, because she had all the talent and skills the BBC needed to cover the difficult international and domestic story of the rise of China. One of the conditions she set for taking it was equal pay with the BBC’s other international editors, familiar names including Jon Sopel in Washington and Jeremy Bowen in the Middle East.
Last summer, the government forced the BBC to publish which of the familiar names on radio and TV earned over £150, 000. The results exposed an astonishing pay gap. They also showed Gracie that her employers had misled her.
Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, but they fail to respond adequately. Instead, they prevaricate (搪塞) and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off. They thought that the reputational hazard she was running would scare her away from the fight.
The BBC is wrong this time! Gracie has chosen to resign rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid. She is fighting for women’s legal rights. Gracie said she hoped she wouldn’t be remembered as the woman who complained about money, but as a great journalist. She is proving that they are two sides of the same invaluable coin.
Carrie Gracie’s dispute with the BBC isn’t about money — it’s about dignity!
1.Why did Gracie choose to resign from BBC?
A.She didn’t like doing similar jobs with men
B.She requested for a pay rise but was turned down
C.She decided to expose the BBC’s unequal payment towards males and females.
D.She could earn a reputation by using the BBC’s influence.
2.What kind of person is Gracie?
A.Bossy and ambitious. B.Fearless and resolved.
C.Creative and talented. D.Knowledgeable and humorous.
3.What does the underlined word “hazard” mean in paragraph 4?
A.Inspiration. B.Dominance. C.Risk. D.Interest.
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The BBC attached little importance to the government’s regulations.
B.Gracie was not satisfied with what the BBC had offered her.
C.The BBC eventually apologized to the public for its pay gap.
D.Gracie bravely revealed the truth and fought for women’s legal rights.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 Carrie Gracie 因不满 BBC 在男女同工不同酬问题上的不公和不诚实行为,而辞去了编辑的职位。Gracie 选择辞职,是为了捍卫女性的合法权益和尊严,她希望人们记住她是一位伟大的记者,而不是一个抱怨金钱的人。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段“She has resigned because she refused to go on colluding (共谋) with the BBC’s dishonesty about its failure to give women and men equal pay for equal work. (她之所以辞职,是因为她拒绝继续与BBC共谋,因为BBC未能给予男女同工同酬。)”可知,Gracie 选择辞职是因为 BBC 没有给予她同工同酬的待遇,而且她拒绝与 BBC 共谋,掩饰其对待男女员工不平等的做法。故选 C。
2.推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Gracie has chosen to resign rather than give in because she thinks that it is her responsibility to stop the BBC doing something stupid. She is fighting for women’s legal rights.( Gracie选择辞职而不是屈服,因为她认为阻止BBC做蠢事是她的责任。她正在为妇女的合法权利而斗争。)”可知, Gracie 并没有屈服于金钱和权威,坚定自己为女性获得同工同酬的权利而奋斗的决心,从而推断她是无畏的和有决心的。故选B。
3.词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“Gracie sets out all her efforts to get her bosses to do what they had originally promised her, but they fail to respond adequately. Instead, they prevaricate (搪塞) and offer her a pay rise that still would not have delivered equality. They thought they could buy her off. (Gracie竭尽全力让她的老板们履行他们最初对她的承诺,但他们没有做出充分的回应。相反,他们推诿搪塞,给她加薪,但这仍不能实现平等。他们以为可以收买她。)”可知, Gracie 坚持为获得平等权利而斗争。BBC 以为换一种方式给Gracie 涨工资可以收买她,以为她可能会因为自己声誉受损(的风险)而放弃斗争,但是 Gracie 依然坚守作为记者的初心。由此可推断,划线词hazard的意思为“危险;风险”。 故选C。
4.推理判断题。根据 Gracie 的维权经历可知,一开始她全力争取自己的合法权益却屡次遭受不平等对待,尤其在文中倒数第二段“Gracie said she hoped she wouldn’t be remembered as the woman who complained about money, but as a great journalist.(Gracie说,她希望人们记住的不是那个抱怨钱的女人,而是一个伟大的记者。)”可知,Gracie勇敢地揭露真相,为妇女的合法权益而斗争。故选D。
【新八省阅读·记叙文20】(24-25高三上·河南·开学考试)Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.”
Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September.
“Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins.
Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.”
When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another!
Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old.
Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.”
