阅读理解之记叙文15篇 (各地市期末真题) （23-24高一上·山东菏泽·期末）When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young children, and its causes remain unknown. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off-the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have strong visual factors, such as a swollen longue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing some other diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says that her sister Kale, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer, is strong and healthy. 1．Why did the author mention Kate’s illness? A．To explain who treated Kate’s illness. B．To prove how serious Kale’s illness was. C．To show how much Ellen loved her sister. D．To tell why Ellen wanted to solve the puzzle in her mind. 2．Why did Ellen design the program? A．To save her sister. B．To earn a prize. C．To check a rare disease. D．To identify birds and plants. 3．What can best describe Ellen according to the text? A．Determined and careful. B．Creative and helpful. C．Diligent and selfless. D．Active and easy-going. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．An App That Detects a Rare Disease B．An Invention Helping Doctors C．A Girl Recovering from a Disease D．A New Method to Treat a Disease 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了 Ellen利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速地获得诊断，改善健康状况。 1．推理判断题。根据第四段“Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown- ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says.(徐记得当时她对妹妹的病情很好奇，并惊讶于大人们无法回答她为什么很难检查的问题。“在我的脑海里，这是我想要解决的难题，”她说)”可推知，文章提到 Kate 的病，是为了说明 Ellen 想解开心中难题的动机。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”可知，Ellen设计这款程序是为了检测这种罕见病，以此来拯救她的妹妹。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段“ So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”可知，Ellen 自己设计了一个用于检查疾病的程序；再根据倒数第二段“ It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.(这对我来说意义重大。我想用人工智能来帮助人们过上更快乐、更健康的生活)”可知， Ellen想用人工智能帮助人们改善生活。由此可推知，Ellen是一个有创造力且乐于助人的人。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第五段“Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms.(十年后，她有了一个主意，她想参加高中科学博览会。如果我们口袋里有个医生呢？因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一个程序，利用视觉事实来检查基于五种身体症状的疾病)”结合本文主要讲述了 Ellen利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速地获得诊断，改善健康状况。由此可推知，A项“一款检测罕见疾病的应用”最适合作文章标题。故选 A。 （23-24高一上·湖南邵阳·期末）When I think about ducks, I picture my mother’s pets. She saved Lucy and Fran from a very wet area when I was 16 years old. The little ducks were weak and sick. My mother helped them to get healthy. Lucy and Fran lived in a large box in the garage. They became family pets. They were members of our family. Lucy followed me around. She quacked (嘎嘎叫) and quacked. She liked attention. My brother Tim read everything he could find about ducks. He learned to care for our pets. He made sure that the box in the garage was fit for our pets. It had a heat lamp and a feeder. He gave them water and fresh straw each day. What a hit!  Lucy and Fran loved their house. They quacked to say, “Thank you!” On a rainy morning, Lucy walked near me to the mailbox. She walked so close that we knocked each other. I fell into a big mud hole. All the letters from the mailbox got wet. They were covered with muddy, brown water. What’s worse, Tim watched from the window. When I got back into the house, he was on the kitchen floor holding the sides of his stomach. He laughed there. I stomped (跺脚) my feet and threw up my arms. My mom calmly listened to me shout. “It’s okay, honey. If you prefer to, you can trade beds with the ducks!” she comforted. With that in mind, I went to the garage and made my peace with the ducks. My own bed looked a lot better than their straw and heat lamp. 1．Where did Lucy and Fran live? A．In the kitchen. B．In the bedroom. C．In the water. D．In the garage. 2．Why did Tim read everything he could find about ducks? A．To make a box for the ducks. B．To choose a heat lamp for the ducks. C．To learn to care for the ducks.

He learned to care for our pets.(我哥哥Tim读了所有他能找到的关于鸭子的书。他学会了照顾我们的宠物)”可知，Tim是为了学习如何照顾鸭子而阅读相关信息。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“On a rainy morning, Lucy walked near me to the mailbox. She walked so close that we knocked each other. I fell into a big mud hole. (在一个下雨的早晨，Lucy走近我的邮箱。她走得太近了，我们互相撞了一下。我掉进了一个大泥坑)”可知，作者掉进了一个大泥坑。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“When I think about ducks, I picture my mother’s pets.

On the way home from work, I filled up my car with gas and picked up two pizzas because my kids, aged 10 and 15, wanted their mom to get some for dinner. Then the snow started, and came down so fast that it screamed. It was terrifying! I didn’t know where I was. It was now about 6 pm and dark. What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night? Would it be invisible? Was I on someone’s farm? Or worse, was I on the wrong side of the road? I searched my location online and figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane. It was now 6:30 pm. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, asking anyone who knew someone nearby to rescue me. At 8 pm, my phone rang. It was the daughter of the farmer who owned the land beside the road where my car was stranded. She told me that her dad was coming to get me! About 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat walking toward me in the dark, carrying a flashlight (手电筒). It was André Bouvier, 80 years old, who’d walked half a mile through the snowstorm to find me, fighting the wind and snow each step of the way. When we reached his house a few minutes later, I got out of the car and burst into tears. All my fears disappeared and I was grateful. The experience let me approach challenges and surprises with a sense of calm. It reminded me to always reach out and help others — both friends and strangers. But best of all, it brought André into my life. We’re still in touch, and I know we'll be friends forever. 1．What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A．Her car was out of gas. B．Her car was on someone's farm. C．She couldn't see the road. D．She didn't expect the snowstorm. 2．What does the underlined word “stranded” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Driven.

A．A Snowstorm Night Rescue B．The Most Familiar Strangers C．The Life-saving Facebook Post D．An Encounter in the Snowstorm 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述讲述了作者在遭遇暴风雪后被困路上，通过向社区求助最终得到好心人André Bouvier帮助的故事。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“I didn’t know where I was.(我不知道自己身在何处)”以及“What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night? Would it be invisible? Was I on someone’s farm? Or worse, was I on the wrong side of the road? I searched my location online and figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane.(在这么大的暴风雪中，我的黑色轿车会是什么样子呢？它会看不见吗？我是在别人的农场吗？或者更糟，是我走错路了吗？我在网上搜索了我的位置，发现我在一条叫布维尔巷的路上)”可知，由于暴风雪作者看不见路，不知道自己身在何处，故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night?(在这么大的暴风雪中，我的黑色轿车会是什么样子呢？)”和“I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, asking anyone who knew someone nearby to rescue me.(我把这个新信息发布到我的Facebook社区群里，请求任何认识附近某人的人来救我)”以及划线词所在句子“At 8 pm, my phone rang.

The 17-year-old boy went viral (走红) on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of Sinolapotamon in 2022. Zhang’s father, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age, so Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without being interrupted. Now a grade 12 student at Yulin High School, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhang has dozens of “living treasures” that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, shrimps and crabs. “This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area,” said Zhang, pointing to a bright-colored crab moving its amusing eyes around. “You can see it just shed its shell.” There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang’s room to store his specimens (标本). “I can notice the small differences between two shrimps, and then I take them back to my room for further observation,” said Zhang. It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else. It’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying or observing the specimens of shrimps and crabs day and night. With the help of his microscope, Zhang concentrates on exploring the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale, the leg of a crab or the antenna of an insect. He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed. “I’m often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile things under the microscope. No matter how unimportant an insect is, each life is so delicately and uniquely organized,” said Zhang. 1．What made Zhang popular on Sina Weibo? A．His meeting with shrimps and crabs. B．His videos of outdoor adventures. C．His discovery of a new type of crab. D．His collection of “living treasures”. 2．What inspired Zhang’s interest in exploring nature? A．His father’s early job.

C．Zhang’s mini biology lab at home. D．Zhang’s addiction to his specimens. 4．Which of the following best describes Zhang? A．Honest and energetic. B．Outgoing and adventurous. C．Curious and hard-working. D．Knowledgeable and thankful. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了17岁的张逸轩因热爱自然和生物而走红，在2022年发现了一种新的淡水蟹的经历。张逸轩从小跟随父母到户外探索，收集了多种生物标本。他的房间装备有显微镜，使他能够深入研究这些微小生物，他对自然界的细微之处充满好奇和敬畏。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The 17-year-old boy went viral (走红) on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of Sinolapotamon in 2022.

The poor man’s son was named Ham, and the rich man’s son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends. One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting. Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating and having fun all day. One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.” 1．What can we learn about the young men from the first two paragraphs? A．They often argued with each other. B．They all valued wealth and effort. C．Their relationship was not very good. D．They had been schoolmates since childhood. 2．Why did Ham suggest this test?

However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.”(一年后，Ham赚了足够的钱，盖了一栋漂亮的房子，还结婚了。然而，Jim已经花光了所有的钱，那些纵情于酒肉的朋友也离开了他。他又饿又伤心，走到Ham跟前说：“亲爱的朋友，关于‘财富更重要还是努力更重要’这个问题，我想我已经有了答案。”)”可知，Jim开始的时候不想工作，直至最后他花光了所有的钱后朋友也离开了他，他又饿又悲伤，而Ham通过努力挣了足够多的钱。由此推知，Jim最后终于意识到了努力才是财富的源泉。故选A。 （23-24高一上·四川乐山·期末）I published my newest novel, Haven Lake, in May, and I have another book ready for publication in October. I have experienced more success as a writer than I ever imagined. So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears? When I published my first book, I had become used to failure. I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first. Now I'm here. My books have all sold out their advance (预订). The reviews have been largely positive. At the same time, I am still troubled by doubt. I'm not alone in that. At a lecture I attended recently by Wally Lamb, he talked about how difficult it was to write the next novel after his novel, She's Come Undone, was brought into spotlight. Elizabeth Gilbert received over nine million views for her TED talk, where she admitted that she was afraid to write after the success of her book, Eat, Pray, Love. I don't have as many readers to disappoint as Lamb and Gilbert have, of course, but I worry about disappointing them all the same. So I am afraid every day I write. I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers. The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That‘s when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not. 1．What feeling does the author mainly express in Paragraph 1? A．Thankfulness. B．Interest. C．Stress. D．Impatience. 2．What can we learn about the author’s books? A．They have been as successful as imagined. B．They were difficult to sell out their advance. C．Most of them have received negative reviews. D．Many of them were not able to be published. 3．What is the author’s main worry about writing? A．Creating popular characters. B．Disappointing the readers. C．Finding proper publishers. D．Failing to get success. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Writing forward. B．Writing for publication. C．What makes a good writer. D．What to think when writing. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己作为一名作家所经历的成功和随之而来的恐惧与压力。尽管取得了超出预期的成功，作者在写作每一本新书时仍感到越来越困难，并分享了如何克服这些恐惧继续写作。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears?”（为什么每写一本新书都比前一本更难？我是如何克服恐惧继续前进的？）可知，作者在首段主要表达了写作过程中感受到的压力。故选C项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段中“I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first.”（在卖出第一本书之前，我写了20多年未出版的小说。）可知，作者的书中有许多之前未能出版。故选D项。 3．细节理解题。根据第三段“I worry about disappointing them all the same.（我担心让他们所有人失望。）”和“I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers.（我害怕写出的书对读者来说不有趣。）可知，作者主要担心的是让读者失望。故选B项。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段“So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears?”（ 那么，为什么写每一本新书都比之前的一本更难呢？尽管我有恐惧，但我又该如何继续写下去呢？）以及最后一段“The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That's when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not”（让我坚持下去的唯一原因就是：我写书是因为我喜欢写作。我对讲故事的热情驱使我创造出各种角色。当我创造出这样的角色时，我就知道我的作品是真实而优秀的，无论读者是否找到这本书并喜欢它）可知，本文讲述了作者尽管在写作上取得了成功，但仍然感到压力和恐惧，并且表达了如何继续前进的态度。因此，A项“Writing forward(向前写作)”适合作为本文标题。故选A项。 （23-24高一上·福建漳州·期末）Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were used to their robotic farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Jo. Most villagers could not read or write, and Jo was an exception. One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her adventures in the forest, she came across an abandoned cottage. Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure. She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! Jo was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. She came to the cottage every day and got down to reading the books. For her, each page was an adventure with characters who challenged difficulties with their determination and who struggled for good. Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission, Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage. In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories. She also conducted workshops in which she taught people how to read and write. She was remembered and lived in her stories even after she was long gone. 1．Which can best replace the underlined phrase “got the best of” in paragraph 2? A．Discouraged. B．Beat. C．Cheated. D．Scared. 2．Why did the villagers laugh when Jo told them her discovery? A．They took her words seriously. B．They’ve already known it. C．They thought it was something meaningless.

D．Determined and influential. 4．What is a suitable title for the text? A．A Hidden Treasure Discovered by Jo. B．Jo’s Journey: from Adventure to Education. C．The Power of Stories D．A Role Model in the Field of Education 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小女孩乔通过自己的想象力和决心，将一个被遗忘的旧书屋变成了一个充满冒险和想象力的神圣地方。 1．词句猜测题。根据划线短语的上文“Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places,(虽然她被警告要远离废弃的地方)”和下文“She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure.(她溜了进去，惊奇地发现满屋子都是书!当乔意识到她找到了一个隐藏的宝藏时，她非常兴奋)”可知，乔虽然被警告远离废弃的地方，但是她还是去了，说明好奇心“战胜了”她，所以划线短语是“战胜、击败”的意思。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段“She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter!(她跑去告诉村民们一切，以为他们会分享她的兴奋，但相反，她听到了哄堂大笑！)”和第四段“Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey.(她知道故事的力量能让人们深刻认识到生命的价值，所以她决定与村民们分享这些故事，尽管她知道这将是一段艰难的旅程)”可推知，村民们哄堂大笑是因为他们对乔的发现不以为然。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission, Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage.(她知道故事的力量能让人们深刻认识到生命的价值，所以她决定与村民们分享这些故事，尽管她知道这将是一段艰难的旅程。把这作为她的使命，乔开始每天在她的小屋里讲故事)”和最后一段“In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories.(一开始，只有少数人来阅读。但消息迅速传播开来，越来越多的人来听她的故事，其中一些人甚至从很远的地方来听她的故事)”可知，乔是一个坚定而有影响力的人。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读可知，文章主要讲述了小女孩乔通过自己的想象力和决心，在探险时发现了一个被遗忘的旧书屋并将其变成了一个充满冒险和想象力的神圣地方，吸引了越来越多的人来听她的故事，且她还举办了讲习班，教人们如何阅读和写作，所以B选项“乔的旅程：从冒险到教育”能概括全文内容，适合用作文章标题。故选B。 （23-24高一上·江苏无锡·期末）Officer Michael Rivers, a policeman who was snapped (抓拍) and the image shared on Facebook, as he sat sharing his lunch with a homeless woman at the side of the road in North Carolina, in the USA, is praised.

Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer. Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories. Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager. Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos. Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge. When Scilla photographed the John Lewis store on Oxford Street, it was a one-storey building — now it has seven floors. Philip had to use his imagination to recreate other sights. Scilla has repeatedly returned to her new album since receiving it. Philip said: “It’s nice for her to see someone taking an interest in those photos and going back over them, and also good for her to connect her past to where we are now.” 1．What did Philip do for Scilla during the past year? A．He taught her how to use a camera. B．He took her to visit London streets. C．He found a new way to treat her disease. D．He recreated photos of London she had taken. 2．What influence did Philip’s work have on Scilla? A．It inspired her to take photos. B．It made her think of her teenage days. C．It encouraged her to travel across London. D．It raised her confidence to fight off illness. 3．What does the underlined word “absorbed” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Troubled. B．Interested. C．Experienced. D．Disappointed. 4．What is the best title of this passage? A．A teenager sensed the great changes of London. B．An old lady suffered a lot from Alzheimer’s disease. C．A teenager and his mother travelled to London for fun. D．A teenager’s photos helped recover his grandmother’s memory. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。16岁的Philip Loveday为患有阿尔茨海默氏症的祖母Scilla重新拍摄伦敦街头的照片，唤醒了她少年时的记忆。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures.(在过去的一年里，16岁的Philip Loveday一直在首都重访祖母走过的路，仔细地重新拍摄这些照片)”和第三段中的“Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages.(Philip拍了一些新照片，看起来就像很久以前的那些，然后把它们放进了一本新相册里。Scilla的旧相册的每一页都被复制并放进新的相册里，菲利普的新照片在相反的两页上)”可知，过去一年，Philip去他外婆当年在伦敦拍过照的地方重新拍照，来更新她的相册。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager.(Philip的母亲Catherine Loveday说，Scilla对新专辑很满意，这张专辑让她回到了十几岁的时候)”可知，Philip的母亲说，看到外孙的作品后Scilla非常喜悦，想起了自己的少女时代。故选B。 3．词义猜测题。根据下划线所在句及下文“how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos.(……现代伦敦与祖母拍摄的城市的对比，Philip和他的妈妈开始到伦敦市中心旅行。在旅途中，他们有了重新拍摄照片的想法)”可知，Philip和他妈妈去伦敦市中心旅行是为了对比一下伦敦的现在与过去，拍摄了很多照片。说明他对伦敦过去的样子非常感兴趣。absorbed意为“感兴趣的”，故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer.(Scilla现在已经83岁了，她自己冲洗的黑白照片被一名十几岁的摄影师发现后，又重新焕发了生机)”以及第二、三段内容可知，Philip的祖母得了阿尔茨海默病，他去外婆16岁时拍过照的地方重拍照片，并做成相册送给她以唤起她的记忆。D项“一名少年的照片帮助他恢复了祖母的记忆”为最佳标题，故选D。 （23-24高一上·安徽宿州·期末）I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club. I used to think that tai chi was for the elderly. However, the first class changed my previous understanding of tai chi. A year later, I can say that tai chi has had a huge impact on me. The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills. After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again. Fortunately, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind during ever, day practice. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever. Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the the unity of opposite. Neither can exist independent of the other. The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. Ultimately, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace. The experience of a year of tai chi has affected my everyday life positively. I sleep more soundly at night, and feel more energetic during the day. I feel happier and more confident. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay calm in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me. 1．Why did the author join the Tai Chi Club? A．Because of his friend’s advice. B．Because of his interest in it. C．Because of the school’s request. D．Because of his parents’ suggestion. 2．Which of the following words can describe the moves of tai chi? A．Quick and beautiful. B．Quick and free. C．Slow and beautiful. D．Slow and boring. 3．What is the Chinese culture behind tai chi? A．Tai chi is influenced by Laozi’s philosophy of water. B．Tai chi can have a positive effect in people’s lives. C．You can find the origin of tai chi in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang. D．Tai chi can make people feel energetic and confident. 4．What does the underlined word mean? A．Finally B．Sometimes C．Firstly D．Constantly 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了太极运动对于作者的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I hesitated when my friend suggested that we join the school’s new Tai Chi club.(当朋友建议我们加入学校新成立的太极俱乐部时，我犹豫了一下)”可知，朋友的建议让作者加入了学校太极俱乐部。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again.(在最初的几堂基础太极课后，我发现自己厌倦了一遍又一遍地做同样的缓慢动作)”及文章第二段“The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird.(最初的几节太极课既有趣又简单，那些动作的名字也很吸引我，比如“白鹤展翅”和“金鸡独立”。当我问我的教练这些有趣的名字是从哪里来的，他告诉我关于太极的历史。据说，13世纪的道家张三丰从蛇与鸟的搏斗中得到灵感，发明了太极拳)”可知，太极拳的招式是缓慢并且优美的。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the the unity of opposite.(同时，我开始探索太极拳背后的中国古代文化。我发现太极深深植根于中国的阴阳哲学，阴阳被认为是对立的统一)”可知，太极背后的中国文化是在中国的阴阳哲学中找到太极的起源。故选C。 4．词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out.(练习太极的目的是通过相反的动作来保持身体的阴阳平衡:前后，上下，左右，吸气和呼气)”表明太极的动作，划线词后一句“ tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.(太极拳带来一种身体平衡和精神平静的状态)”可知，这些招式最终会带来一种平衡的状态，划线词与Finally（最终）意思相近。故选A。 （23-24高一上·河南商丘·期末）Lou, a 20-year-old mathematician (数学家) with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) (脊肌萎缩症), is studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States.

As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies (自拍) to show his worried family that he was okay. Johnny was racing against the clock. He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head. It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks. The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears! “If it would’ve been 20 minutes later, she wouldn’t be here,” Johnny said.“She’s never been happier to see me.” Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections (感染) she got in the water.

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队) — which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did — would be right by her side. But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren’t as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity (不安全) of feeling “uncool” and “unpopular”. Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn’t have many friends when she was younger — a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says. When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends,” Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood.” But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “I didn’t realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone,” she says. As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn’t mean how “cool” she is. To her, it’s much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather” friends. While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how I viewed things. But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.” 1．What made Swift know old list squad? A．The popularity of her friends. B．Her childhood experience. C．The support of her fans. D．Her strong social influence. 2．What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us? A．We should make real friends. B．It is important to trust our friends. C．Our friends can affect our behavior. D．There are many ways of making friends. 3．What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph? A．Request. B．Advice. C．Method. D．Purpose. 4．From which is the text probably taken? A．A scientific report. B．A social newspaper. C．A travel magazine. D．A movie poster. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，本文主要讲述著名歌手Taylor Swift由于童年时期不受欢迎的经历喜欢带着一群朋友团，后来随着年龄的增长和自信心的增强，Swift开始关注朋友的质量，学会了不让外界的观点影响自己的人生选择。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn’t have many friends when she was younger — a memory that still bothered her years later.(Swift说，她特意去炫耀她的团队，因为她年轻的时候没有很多朋友——多年后这段记忆仍然困扰着她)”可知，童年时期的经历让Swift认识了她的朋友小分队。故选B。 2．主旨大意题。根据第四段“As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity(数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn’t mean how “cool” she is. To her, it’s much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair- weather” friends.(随着年龄的增长和自信心的增强，Swift开始关注朋友的质量，而不是数量。她说她终于明白，她的团队规模并不意味着她有多“酷”。对她来说，有几个可以信任的朋友比一大群“酒肉朋友”重要得多)”可知，本段主要告诉我们要结交真正的朋友。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity (不安全) of feeling “uncool” and “unpopular”. Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad(事实上，她说她是在利用她的朋友群来隐藏她的不安全感，因为她觉得自己“不酷”、“不受欢迎”。Swift说，她特意去炫耀她的团队)”以及划线词后“of impressing others(给别人留下深刻印象)”可知，Swift炫耀自己的朋友来隐藏自己的不安全感，推知划线词所在句意为“虽然Swift仍然珍惜她生命中的朋友，但她不再感到为了给别人留下深刻印象而炫耀他们的压力”，sake意为“目的”。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第四段中“As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量).(随着年龄的增长和自信心的增强，Swift开始关注朋友的质量，而不是数量)”和最后一段中“For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how I viewed things. But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.(很长一段时间以来，陌生人的观点影响了我对事物的看法。但现在我学会了不让外界的观点影响我自己的人生选择)”可知，本文主要讲述著名歌手Taylor Swift由于童年时期不受欢迎的经历喜欢带着一群朋友团，后来随着年龄的增长和自信心的增强，Swift开始关注朋友的质量，学会了不让外界的观点影响自己的人生选择，是关于友谊的，应是出自社交报纸。故选B。 （23-24高一上·云南·期末）Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳). I remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl. There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.” Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize. Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time. Sometimes, I think that if it weren’t for her words of encouragement, I may have never discovered the talent I have. Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life. 1．What was the author doing before her name was called? A．Drawing a picture with her classmates. B．Being buried in her imagination. C．Taking part in an important English test. D．Organizing a drawing competition. 2．How did the art teacher treat the author in the drawing competition? A．Encourage her with words. B．Blame her in a high voice. C．Punish her for standing up. D．Ignore her unconsciously. 3．How did the author feel when she heard that she had won a prize? A．Indifferent. B．Puzzled. C．Disappointed. D．Unexpected. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．What An Unique Creative Ability B．The Importance of Creative Thoughts C．The Impact of Encouraging Words D．The Way to Discover Your Talents 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions. Lost in my own world, I was brought back to reality when my art teacher called my name from behind. (当每个人都开始用他们的创意来画画时，我只是想一些能表达我想法和情绪的创意。我迷失在自己的世界里，当我的艺术老师从背后呼唤我的名字时，我又回到了现实。)”可知，当艺术老师叫作者时，作者正在沉浸在她的想象中，努力获得一些富有创造力的思路。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She came to me and encouraged me, saying, “Don’t overthink it, just put whatever comes to your mind on the canvas (画布). Do your best, and you will do well.” (她走过来鼓励我说：“不要想太多，只要把你想到的东西写在画布上。尽力而为，你就会做得很好。”)”可知，艺术老师用鼓励的语言鼓励作者。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize. (令我吃惊的是，我听到我的名字被称为二等奖。这对我来说是一个意外，因为我从来不敢梦想获奖。)”可知，作者做梦都不敢想能得到任何奖品，所以听到自己获奖的消息后感到非常惊讶，出乎意料。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Overall, this experience taught me the importance of encouraging others and how a few kind words can make a significant impact on someone’s life. (总的来说，这段经历教会了我鼓励他人的重要性，以及几句友善的话如何对某人的生活产生重大影响。)”可知，作者通过讲述自己的一次参赛经历来证明鼓励的重要性，所以本文打算告诉我们鼓励的话语可以对他人产生影响。故选C。 （23-24高一上·浙江杭州·期末）A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck. The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood. Expecting a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns(衬裤), a shirt and slippers when he went outside, although the temperature was around -4℃. After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow. Fortunately, Kelsey came to his assistance. “I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was10:30 pm,” Bob explained. “But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.” Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake. “Kelsey kept barking but never left my side,” Bob recalled. “She kept me warm. I knew I couldn’t give up and that it was my choice to stay alive.” Bob spent 20 hours in the freezing cold. When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6: 30 pm on New Year’s Day and called the emergency services at once. When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn’t have any frostbite(冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep him warm. Dr. Chaim Colen, the doctor who treated Bob, said, “Animals can help and his dog really saved him… He was very fortunate. Bob said he was “enormously” grateful to both Dr. Colen and his Kelsey. “They saved my life. They are truly heroes!” 1．What happened to Bob on New Year’s Eve?

A．A Neck-breaking Accident B．The Magic Night in Snow C．Warmth on a Winter’s Night D．Determination to Keep Alive 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一只名叫Kelsey的狗帮助救了在雪地里滑倒并摔断脖子的主人。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.(一只名叫Kelsey的五岁小狗因帮助救了主人的命而被誉为英雄，主人在雪地里滑倒并摔断了脖子。)”、第二段中的“The man, Bob, was alone when he left his Michigan farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood.(这名男子名叫Bob，在新年前夕离开密歇根州的农舍去拾柴时，他独自一人。)”和第三段中的“After the accident, he was unable to move in the snow.(事故发生后，他在雪地里动弹不得。)”可知，新年前夕Bob离开农舍去拾柴，他在雪地里滑倒，摔断了脖子，事故发生后，他在雪地里动弹不得。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段中Bob的话“I was shouting for help, but my nearest neighbor is about 400 meters away, and it was10:30 pm(我大声呼救，但我最近的邻居在400米外，而且当时是晚上10点30分。)”和“But my Kelsey came. By the next morning, my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.(但我的Kelsey来了。第二天早上，我的声音消失了，我无法大声呼救，但Kelsey没有停止吠叫。)”以及第六段中的“When he finally lost consciousness, his dog kept barking. Finally, hearing the barking, Bob’s neighbor discovered him at 6: 30 pm on New Year’s Day and called the emergency services at once.(当他最终失去意识时，他的狗不停地吠叫。最后，Bob的邻居听到了吠叫声，在新年下午6:30发现了他，并立即拨打了急救电话。)”可推测出，Kelsey一直吠叫是为了寻求帮助。故选D。 3．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A five-year-old dog named Kelsey has been praised as a hero for helping to save the life of her owner who slipped in the snow and broke his neck.(一只名叫Kelsey的五岁小狗因帮助救了主人的命而被誉为英雄，主人在雪地里滑倒并摔断了脖子。)”、第五段中的“Kelsey’s companion kept him warm by lying on top of him. She licked his face and hands to keep him awake.(Kelsey陪伴着他，趴在他身上给他保暖。她舔了舔他的脸和手，让他保持清醒。)”以及最后一段中的“When Bob arrived in hospital, his body temperature was below 21℃. However, doctors were surprised to find that he didn’t have any frostbite(冻疮). They believed it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep him warm.(然而，医生惊讶地发现他没有冻伤。他们认为这是因为Kelsey决心给他保暖。)”可知，本文主要讲述一只小狗在寒冷的雪地救了主人，她在寒冷的新年前夕给受伤的主人保暖，使得主人免遭不测。由此可推测出，C项“一个冬夜里的温暖”最适合作本文标题。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 阅读理解之记叙文15篇 (各地市期末真题) （23-24高一上·山东菏泽·期末）When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she clearly remembers that her parents rushed her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, and some swelling (肿胀) in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the clinic room, where a doctor by chance had a similar earlier experience with such symptoms (症状) in the blood known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare (罕见的), it’s the leading cause of the heart disease in babies and young children, and its causes remain unknown. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered some medicine for Kate, and finally she shook off-the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s illness condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to check. “In my mind, it was this puzzle I wanted to solve,” she says. Ten years later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea. What if we had a doctor in our pocket? So she created just that: Using Al, Xu designed a program that uses visual facts to check the disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the picture for symptoms of the disease, which often have strong visual factors, such as a swollen longue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing some other diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says that her sister Kale, now in her third year of high school with dreams of becoming an environmental engineer, is strong and healthy. 1．Why did the author mention Kate’s illness? A．To explain who treated Kate’s illness. B．To prove how serious Kale’s illness was. C．To show how much Ellen loved her sister. D．To tell why Ellen wanted to solve the puzzle in her mind. 2．Why did Ellen design the program? A．To save her sister. B．To earn a prize. C．To check a rare disease. D．To identify birds and plants. 3．What can best describe Ellen according to the text? A．Determined and careful. B．Creative and helpful. C．Diligent and selfless. D．Active and easy-going. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．An App That Detects a Rare Disease B．An Invention Helping Doctors C．A Girl Recovering from a Disease D．A New Method to Treat a Disease （23-24高一上·湖南邵阳·期末）When I think about ducks, I picture my mother’s pets. She saved Lucy and Fran from a very wet area when I was 16 years old. The little ducks were weak and sick. My mother helped them to get healthy. Lucy and Fran lived in a large box in the garage. They became family pets. They were members of our family. Lucy followed me around. She quacked (嘎嘎叫) and quacked. She liked attention. My brother Tim read everything he could find about ducks. He learned to care for our pets. He made sure that the box in the garage was fit for our pets. It had a heat lamp and a feeder. He gave them water and fresh straw each day. What a hit!  Lucy and Fran loved their house. They quacked to say, “Thank you!” On a rainy morning, Lucy walked near me to the mailbox. She walked so close that we knocked each other. I fell into a big mud hole. All the letters from the mailbox got wet. They were covered with muddy, brown water. What’s worse, Tim watched from the window. When I got back into the house, he was on the kitchen floor holding the sides of his stomach. He laughed there. I stomped (跺脚) my feet and threw up my arms. My mom calmly listened to me shout. “It’s okay, honey. If you prefer to, you can trade beds with the ducks!” she comforted. With that in mind, I went to the garage and made my peace with the ducks.

On the way home from work, I filled up my car with gas and picked up two pizzas because my kids, aged 10 and 15, wanted their mom to get some for dinner. Then the snow started, and came down so fast that it screamed. It was terrifying! I didn’t know where I was. It was now about 6 pm and dark. What would my black car look like in such a heavy snowstorm at night? Would it be invisible? Was I on someone’s farm? Or worse, was I on the wrong side of the road? I searched my location online and figured out that I was on a road called Bouvier Lane. It was now 6:30 pm. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, asking anyone who knew someone nearby to rescue me. At 8 pm, my phone rang. It was the daughter of the farmer who owned the land beside the road where my car was stranded. She told me that her dad was coming to get me! About 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure in a yellow raincoat walking toward me in the dark, carrying a flashlight (手电筒). It was André Bouvier, 80 years old, who’d walked half a mile through the snowstorm to find me, fighting the wind and snow each step of the way. When we reached his house a few minutes later, I got out of the car and burst into tears. All my fears disappeared and I was grateful. The experience let me approach challenges and surprises with a sense of calm. It reminded me to always reach out and help others — both friends and strangers.

The 17-year-old boy went viral (走红) on Sina Weibo recently for his knowledge of biology, which led him to discover a new species of freshwater crabs of Sinolapotamon in 2022. Zhang’s father, who was born in a rural area, loved catching fish and crabs himself at an early age, so Zhang was always taken outdoors by his parents to explore as much as possible and observe little creatures quietly without being interrupted. Now a grade 12 student at Yulin High School, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, Zhang has dozens of “living treasures” that he has collected from the outdoors, including insects, fish, shrimps and crabs. “This one is a species of Nanhaipotamon that I caught in a mountainous area,” said Zhang, pointing to a bright-colored crab moving its amusing eyes around. “You can see it just shed its shell.” There is also a row of empty bottles and jars in Zhang’s room to store his specimens (标本). “I can notice the small differences between two shrimps, and then I take them back to my room for further observation,” said Zhang. It is the microscope his father bought him that makes the bedroom look more like a mini biology lab than anything else. It’s a place where Zhang can devote himself to identifying or observing the specimens of shrimps and crabs day and night. With the help of his microscope, Zhang concentrates on exploring the natural world. Sometimes he spends hours simply examining a piece of fish scale, the leg of a crab or the antenna of an insect. He often works so late that his parents have to force him to go to bed. “I’m often amazed by what I see while placing these tiny and fragile things under the microscope.

The poor man’s son was named Ham, and the rich man’s son was named Jim. They had been in the same school together since childhood and became good friends. One day, the two youths began a discussion as to whether wealth or effort was more powerful. Jim said that wealth was most important, while Ham declared for effort. At last, Ham declared, “Let us put it to the test: Let us both go to some far country and try whether wealth or effort is more successful.” Jim agreed to this plan and they fixed a day for starting. Then they both went home and collected some money and started off early one morning. After a time, they came to a certain country where Ham suggested that they should look for employment. But Jim did not like the notion of becoming a servant and he said that he would live on the money which he had brought with him, which would last for a year or two. “You may do as you like,” answered Ham, “but for my part, I must look for work.” So he went to a village and found employment as a teacher in a school while his friend rented a house and started making various friends, eating and having fun all day. One year later, Ham earned enough money, built a beautiful house and also got married. However, Jim had already spent all his money, and his friends who indulged in wine and meat also left him. Hungry and sorrowful, he went to Ham and said, “My dear friend, regarding the question of ‘whether wealth or effort is more important’, I think I’ve already had the answer.” 1．What can we learn about the young men from the first two paragraphs?

I have experienced more success as a writer than I ever imagined. So why is writing every new book harder than the one before? And how do I keep going despite my fears? When I published my first book, I had become used to failure. I wrote many unpublished novels for over 20 years before selling the first. Now I'm here. My books have all sold out their advance (预订). The reviews have been largely positive. At the same time, I am still troubled by doubt. I'm not alone in that. At a lecture I attended recently by Wally Lamb, he talked about how difficult it was to write the next novel after his novel, She's Come Undone, was brought into spotlight. Elizabeth Gilbert received over nine million views for her TED talk, where she admitted that she was afraid to write after the success of her book, Eat, Pray, Love. I don't have as many readers to disappoint as Lamb and Gilbert have, of course, but I worry about disappointing them all the same. So I am afraid every day I write. I fear writing a book that isn’t interesting to readers. The only thing that keeps me going is this: I write because writing is the thing I love to do. My passion to tell stories makes me create characters. That‘s when I know the writing is true and good, whether readers find the book and love it or not. 1．What feeling does the author mainly express in Paragraph 1? A．Thankfulness. B．Interest. C．Stress. D．Impatience. 2．What can we learn about the author’s books? A．They have been as successful as imagined. B．They were difficult to sell out their advance. C．Most of them have received negative reviews. D．Many of them were not able to be published. 3．What is the author’s main worry about writing? A．Creating popular characters. B．Disappointing the readers. C．Finding proper publishers. D．Failing to get success. 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Writing forward. B．Writing for publication. C．What makes a good writer. D．What to think when writing. （23-24高一上·福建漳州·期末）Once upon a time, there was a small village in the center of a big forest. All the villagers were used to their robotic farm work and none of them had the imagination or the will to try something new, except for one girl named Jo. Most villagers could not read or write, and Jo was an exception. One afternoon, when Jo was on one of her adventures in the forest, she came across an abandoned cottage. Though she’d been warned to stay away from abandoned places, her curiosity got the best of her. She slid in and was amazed to find a room full of books! Jo’s excitement was huge when she realized she had found a hidden treasure. She ran to tell the villagers everything, thinking that they would share her excitement but instead, she heard roars of laughter! Jo was confused by this reaction and a little hurt too, but she did not give up on her books. She came to the cottage every day and got down to reading the books. For her, each page was an adventure with characters who challenged difficulties with their determination and who struggled for good. Knowing the power of stories in impressing on people the values of life, she decided to share the stories with the villagers, though she knew it would be a difficult journey. Making this her mission, Jo started telling stories every day at her cottage. In the beginning, only a few came to the readings. But word spread rapidly, causing more and more people to come, some of whom even traveled from far away to just listen to her stories. She also conducted workshops in which she taught people how to read and write. She was remembered and lived in her stories even after she was long gone. 1．Which can best replace the underlined phrase “got the best of” in paragraph 2? A．Discouraged. B．Beat. C．Cheated.

D．It was all Jo’s imagination. 3．Which of the following best describe Jo? A．Dedicated and honest. B．Devoted but confusing. C．Adventurous but careless. D．Determined and influential. 4．What is a suitable title for the text? A．A Hidden Treasure Discovered by Jo. B．Jo’s Journey: from Adventure to Education.

According to Chris Barnes, his wife Cassie took the photo while she was on her lunch break. She saw the pair sharing a pizza and soft drink while they were having a friendly chat. Mr. Barnes uploaded the image with the notes: “Cassie was out on her lunch break and observed the officer enjoying lunch with a homeless person.” Officer Rivers recalled seeing the woman earlier that day. He told Yahoo news: “I was leaving the parking lot of Walmart and she was standing by the stop sign. Her shirt read, ‘Homeless the fastest way of becoming a nobody.’ I hated that she felt that way.” He added: “I always try to talk to the homeless just to see how they got into their situation. You know, because it can happen to any one of us, at any given moment.” After he drove away, he circled back to ask if the woman was hungry and if she wanted food. The officer said she was honoured by his offer. He bought them both pizza and Mountain Dew and when the pair sat down to eat, he learned of her family struggles and told her: “Hey, you still got stuff to live for, you still got your life ahead of you. It's never too late.” Officer Rivers, who does recruiting (征兵) for the Goldsboro PD, hopes to send a message of sympathy for others. He added: “When the younger or newer guys come in, I let them know,‘Hey, treating the community like human beings is the most important thing in the world.” “So, if we as police officers show that love and sympathy to everybody, no matter their age, financial background or race, the world would be a better place.” 1．Why did Chris Barnes share the photo on Facebook? A．Because it was taken by his wife. B．Because the officer was his friend. C．Because the officer was handsome. D．Because he was impressed by the officer's action. 2．Why did the officer come back for the homeless woman? A．Because she asked him for food. B．Because her situation was serious.

Scilla is now 83, and her self-developed black-and-white photos have been brought back to life after they were discovered by a teenage photographer. Over the past year, Philip Loveday, 16, has been revisiting his grandmother’s path across the capital to carefully rephotograph the pictures. His journey through time with a camera has been especially moving, because his grandmother, Scilla, has Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) and has lost many of her memories. Philip took new photos that looked like the ones Scilla took long ago, and put them in a new album. Each page of Scilla’s old album was copied and put in the new one, with Philip’s new photos on the opposite pages. Philip’s mother, Catherine Loveday, said Scilla had been happy with the new album, which had “put her back in her shoes” as a teenager. Philip said his mother showed him the album she had found at her mother’s house. Greatly absorbed in how modern London would compare to the city photographed by his grandmother, Philip and his mother began to make trips into central London. During the trips, they had the idea of retaking the photos. Some of the places are similar, like Big Ben. Others show how the city has modernized. Unlike Scilla’s view of St. Paul’s Cathedral from the Thames, Philip’s retake has the Millenium Bridge.

I used to think that tai chi was for the elderly. However, the first class changed my previous understanding of tai chi. A year later, I can say that tai chi has had a huge impact on me. The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves with descriptive names really caught my imagination, like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg.” When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills. After the first few basic tai chi lessons, I found myself bored and aching from doing the same slow moves over and over again. Fortunately, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind during ever, day practice. With these requirements of tai chi in mind, I found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever. Meanwhile, I started to explore the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the the unity of opposite. Neither can exist independent of the other. The practice of tai chi aims to keep the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. Ultimately, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace. The experience of a year of tai chi has affected my everyday life positively. I sleep more soundly at night, and feel more energetic during the day. I feel happier and more confident. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay calm in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me. 1．Why did the author join the Tai Chi Club? A．Because of his friend’s advice. B．Because of his interest in it.

No matter what event she attended, a list squad (小队) — which included famous people like Selena Gomez, Zen d and God Ha did — would be right by her side. But now Swift wants fans to know that her friendships weren’t as perfect as she tried to make people believe. In fact, she says she was using her friend group to hide her insecurity (不安全) of feeling “uncool” and “unpopular”. Swift says she went out of her way to show off her squad because she didn’t have many friends when she was younger — a memory that still bothered her years later. “Never being popular as a kid was always an insecurity for me,” she says. When she became famous, Swift became obsessed (沉迷) with showing off her popularity. “In my twenties, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friends,” Swift explains. “So I celebrated my newfound acceptance into a sisterhood.” But by constantly putting her friends on display, Swift failed to consider how bad her fans might feel about themselves because they didn’t have a squad like hers. “I didn’t realize that other people might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone,” she says. As she became older and more confident in herself, Swift started focusing on the quality of her friends, not the quantity (数量). She says she finally understands that the size of her group doesn’t mean how “cool” she is. To her, it’s much more important to have a few friends who can be trusted rather than a large group of “fair-weather” friends. While Swift still values her friends she has in her life, she no longer feels the pressure to show off them for the sake of impressing others. “For too long, the opinions of strangers affected how I viewed things. But now I learn not to let outside opinions affect my own life choices.” 1．What made Swift know old list squad? A．The popularity of her friends. B．Her childhood experience. C．The support of her fans. D．Her strong social influence. 2．What does paragraph 4 intend to tell us? A．We should make real friends. B．It is important to trust our friends. C．Our friends can affect our behavior. D．There are many ways of making friends. 3．What does the underlined word “sake” probably mean in the last paragraph? A．Request. B．Advice. C．Method. D．Purpose. 4．From which is the text probably taken? A．A scientific report. B．A social newspaper. C．A travel magazine. D．A movie poster. （23-24高一上·云南·期末）Everyone tries their best in life, and sometimes a few kind words of encouragement can help people realize that their efforts are not in vain (徒劳). I remember a time when I was in fifth grade, and I was a very shy girl. There was a drawing competition at my school that day. As everyone started to use their creative ideas to draw, I was only trying to think of something creative that could express my thoughts and emotions.

Do your best, and you will do well.” Taking her words of wisdom to heart, I started my painting. Time flew by, and soon the bell rang, signaling the end of the time limit. We all turned in our canvases for inspection (检查). The next day, the winners of the competition were announced in front of the whole school. To my surprise, I heard my name being called second prize. It was a bolt from the blue for me, as I had never dared to dream of winning any prize. Later on, I expressed my gratitude to my art teacher for her words of encouragement and for believing in me. That day, I became aware of my talent and started painting more whenever I had free time.
