专题09阅读理解（应用文，记叙文） 【真题演练】 应用文 Passage 1（2023-24·深圳高级中学期末） Technology (技术) for space travel made our life on Earth better in many ways. Let’s look at things we wouldn’t have without space travel. • Camera phones In the 1990s NASA (美国国家航空航天局) made cameras small enough to fit on spacecraft. The technology is now used in cell phone cameras so that we can take selfies. • Sports shoes There wouldn’t be Nike Air trainers if we didn’t go to space. The shock-absorbing (减震的) materials of the shoes come from space suits. • Water cleaning system In the 1960s, NASA created a technology to clean astronauts’ drinking water. It is now widely used to clean water in swimming pools. • Wireless (无线的) headset Astronauts could easily get tangled up in wires, so NASA made wireless, hands-free headsets. Astronauts can then move while talking and listening. • Dust busters (手持吸尘器) Astronauts hoped to collect samples on the moon. A company created a tool to help them do that. The company then used this technology to make the dust buster in 1979. • Computer mouse In the past, you needed to type in codes (代码) in your computer to make it work for you. In 1968, a NASA researcher tried to make computers on spaceships easier to use, and this led to the creation of the mouse. 11. Where did all the technology in the passage come from? A.

It was great fun walking down the lane and through the grassland by the pond. It’s hard to tell whether they liked it better in summer or in winter. They always played games about traveling to a new country. They would put some leaves on the roadside to make some landmarks. When the ice was thick and firm, they walked across the pond. But their mother did not like that. They shouldn’t walk across the ice unless someone was with them. “Don’t go across the pond today, children,” she said, as she kissed them and said goodbye one morning “It is beginning to thaw and gets thinner and thinner.” “All right, mother,” said Harry, not very happy because he enjoyed running and sliding on the ice. When they came to the pond, the ice looked hard and safe. “There,” he said to his sister. “I knew it hadn’t thawed any. Mother is always afraid we will fall into the river. Come along, we will have a good time sliding. The school bell will not ring for an hour at least.” “But you said yes to mother,” said Annie. “No, I didn’t. I only said all right, and it is all right.” Harry replied while making a face to his sister “I didn’t say anything, so I can do as I like,” said Annie happily.

He looked like all the homeless men who came to my home before. His messy hair hung below a shapeless hat, and his old shirt and trousers had been rained on and slept in. He smelled bad. He walked to the door. When my mother appeared, he asked, “Lady, could you spare something to eat?” “I think so. Please sit on the step.” Later, my mother came back and handed him a sandwich made from homemade bread and generous pieces of boiled meat. She also gave him a bottle of milk. “I thank you, lady,” he said. I played at the gate, watching the man wolf down the sandwich and empty the cup. After finishing the food, he stood up and walked back through the gate. “▲” he told me on the way out. Jenny had said all the homeless men told each other who would feed them. “They never come to my house!” she had said proudly and happily. “So why does Mama feed the poor man?” I wondered. I walked inside. “Jenny’s mama says those men are too lazy to work. Why do we feed them?” My mother smiled. “Sweetheart, we don’t know why these men don’t work,” she said, “but they were babies once. And their mamas loved them, just like I love you.” She put her hands on my shoulders and drew me close to her. “For me, I fed them for their mothers, because if you were ever hungry and had nothing to eat, I would want others’ mothers to feed you.” I seemed to find out the answer to my question and understand that. 1.

In the Sui Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou would cut colorful paper or silks and satins(缎子) to celebrate festivals. It is said that Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak. The emperor ordered the girl servants to cut fine silks and satins into flowers and leaves and use them to decorate the trees and lakes, copying nicely the looks of spring and summer. Since then, “colorful cutting” has become a popular art in Yangzhou. In the Tang Dynasty, the paper cutting industry was highly developed and a large amount of high-quality paper was made as presents to the Court (宫廷).In the Qing Dynasty, because of the economic development, the people of Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing, especially embroidered(刺绣的) clothing. The embroidered designs were based on paper-cuts, The most well-known of them was Bao Jun, a paper cutting master. He won a high reputation(名声) as Magic Scissors(剪刀) for his wonderful cutting skills. After the People’s Republic of China was started, the Chinese government accepted the importance of paper cutting like many other arts and skills. In 2007, China Paper-Cuts Museum opened to the public in the back garden of the Wang’s Residence(住所), Yangzhou, greatly helping the development of Yangzhou paper cutting. 117. According to the passage, what made Yangzhou popular? A. The long history of paper cutting. B. The Emperor Yang’s order. C. The tradition of using paper. D. The popularity of silk. 118.

C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了扬州剪纸从隋朝、唐朝、清朝再到新中国成立后的发展历程。 117. 细节理解题。根据“Yangzhou paper cutting, with a history of 2,000 years, can be dated back (追溯到) to the Sui Dynasty. It makes Yangzhou one of the popular places where paper cutting first appeared.”可知，扬州剪纸距今已有两千年的历史，最早可追溯到隋朝，这使扬州成为最早出现剪纸的地方之一。所以剪纸的悠久历史使扬州受欢迎。故选A。 118. 词句猜测题。分析“He then ordered his servants to make fine silk into owes and leaves and use them to decorate the trees and lakes, copying the looks of spring and summer.”可知，然后他命令他的仆人们用细丝绸做成草叶，用它们来装饰树木和湖泊，模仿春天和夏天的样子。此处decorate的意思是“装饰”，和“beautify使变美”意思相近，故选C。 119. 细节理解题。根据“In the Tang Dynasty, the paper cutting industry was greatly developed and a large amount of high quality paper cutting was made as presents to the Court (宫廷).”可知，在唐代，剪纸业得到了极大的发展，并制作了大量高质量的剪纸作为礼物送给宫廷。故选C。 120. 推理判断题。本文介绍了扬州剪纸从隋朝、唐朝、清朝再到新中国成立后的发展历程，所以推测可能在杂志上看到这篇文章，故选B。 121. 主旨大意题。本文介绍了扬州剪纸从隋朝、唐朝、清朝再到新中国成立后的发展历程，选项C“扬州剪纸介绍”符合主题，故选C。 Passage 9（2023·铁一中学期中） There was a boy called Jack.

Can you help me?” “You can cut off my branches (树枝) to build a house.” Then the boy cut off all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was sad. Some years later, the boy came back and said, “I want to go sailing. But I don’t have a boat.” “Oh, my dear. You can use my trunk (树干) to make a boat.” So the boy made a boat with the trunk and left happily without a word of thanks to the trees. This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents.

They are expected to spread knowledge, ideas and truth. There’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”. He is Tao Xingzhi, a Chinese educator. ② Born in Anhui province, China, in 1891, Tao studied abroad for educational philosophy（心理学）. When Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly follow western education methods or theories. In fact, he changed the saying of “Education is life itself” to “Life is education”. Similarly, instead of “school as society (社会)”, he saw it as “society as school”. ③ For Tao, education is an active experience in real-life instead of telling and being told. He supported “unity of teaching, learning, and reflective（反思的）acting”. ④ Besides developing education methods, Tao also tried his best to improve mass education. After doing surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that in China more than 70% of the people in the city didn’t know how to read or write. ⑤ To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. To deal with the shortage of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal College in Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at schools in the countryside. ⑥ In January 1934, he started the “Little Teacher” movement in which young students were encouraged to serve as teachers to others, even to those older than themselves. Under Tao’s guidance, over 18,000 “little teachers” were invited in Shanghai within 10 months. It later included 28 provinces and cities as a key nationwide education movement. Even in the fight against the Japanese army, Tao never forgot his dream. He founded a middle school in Chongqing and offered free education to poor children. ⑦ Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life. “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.” 53. What is the correct order of Tao Xingzhi’s life experiences? a. He did surveys in different places in China. b. He went to the US to study educational philosophy. c. He began to build colleges to train teachers and educators. d. He called on young students to be teachers to others in need. e. He returned to China and started his own career as an educator. A. a-c-b-d-e B. a-d-c-e-b C. b-e-a-c-d D. b-c-e-a-d 54. The underlined phrase “mass education” in Paragraph 4 may mean education for ________? A. young children B. ordinary people C. kids with great talent D. poor workers 55. According to the passage, which of the following ideas may Tao Xingzhi agree with? A. School is the best place to learn knowledge and values. B. Students should learn from the world outside their schools. C. Education is telling and being told between teachers and students. D. It is the most important to teach students practical skills in school. 56. The structure of the passage may be ________? A. B. C. D. 【答案】53. C 54. B 55. B 56. A 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了教育家陶行知。 53. 细节理解题。根据“Born in Anhui province, China, in 1891, Tao studied abroad for educational philosophy”可知，陶行知曾留学国外学习教育哲学；根据“When Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator”可知，他回到中国，开始了自己的教育事业；根据“After doing surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921…”可知，他在中国不同的地方做了调查；根据“To deal with the shortage...train teachers and educators…”可知，他建立大学来培养教师和教育工作者；根据“he started the ‘Little Teacher’ movement...even to those older than themselves.”可知，他号召年轻学生成为有需要的人的老师，因此正确的顺序是b-e-a-c-d。故选C。 54. 词义猜测题。根据“Tao was surprised to learn that in China more than 70% of the people in the city didn’t know how to read or write”可知，他发现在中国超过70%的城市居民不知道如何读书写字，因此“mass education”主要是为了普通人的。故选B。 55. 推理判断题。根据“In fact, he changed the saying of ‘Education is life itself’ to ‘Life is education’. Similarly, instead of ‘school as society’, he saw it as ‘society as school’”可知，他把“教育即生活本身”的说法改为“生活即教育”。同样，他看到的不是“学校即社会”，而是“社会即学校”。因此可推知他同意学生应该向学校以外的世界学习。故选B。 56. 篇章结构题。文章第①段引出教育家陶行知，总领全文；第②③段介绍其对教育方法的探索；第④⑤⑥段可知讲陶行知致力于大众教育；最后一段则总结全文，收尾。故选A。 Passage 11（2023-24·深圳龙岗区） One day, a little mouse was running along when he happened to run across the paws (爪子) of a big sleeping lion.

In fact, trees can live for hundreds – and sometimes even thousands – of years!  If you see a stump (树桩), you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings can tell us how old the tree is, and what the weather was like during each year of the tree’s life.  Scar(疤痕)from forest fire. The light-colored rings are wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings are wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light ring and one dark ring make one year of the tree's life. Tree rings usually grow wider in warm, wet years and are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought , the tree might hardly grow at all in those years. Rainy season. Dry season. First year growth. In most places, daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years. So, scientists can use trees to learn about the climate hundreds to thousands of years ago. 1.

Passage 6 I was playing at the front gate, trying to decide whether to walk down the street to play with Jenny, when I saw a poor man coming up the road. “Hello, little girl,” he said, “is your mama at home?” I nodded and opened the gate to let him get in the yard. He looked like all the homeless men who came to my home before. His messy hair hung below a shapeless hat, and his old shirt and trousers had been rained on and slept in. He smelled bad. He walked to the door. When my mother appeared, he asked, “Lady, could you spare something to eat?” “I think so. Please sit on the step.” Later, my mother came back and handed him a sandwich made from homemade bread and generous pieces of boiled meat. She also gave him a bottle of milk. “I thank you, lady,” he said. I played at the gate, watching the man wolf down the sandwich and empty the cup. After finishing the food, he stood up and walked back through the gate. “▲” he told me on the way out. Jenny had said all the homeless men told each other who would feed them. “They never come to my house!” she had said proudly and happily. “So why does Mama feed the poor man?” I wondered. I walked inside. “Jenny’s mama says those men are too lazy to work. Why do we feed them?” My mother smiled. “Sweetheart, we don’t know why these men don’t work,” she said, “but they were babies once. And their mamas loved them, just like I love you.” She put her hands on my shoulders and drew me close to her. “For me, I fed them for their mothers, because if you were ever hungry and had nothing to eat, I would want others’ mothers to feed you.” I seemed to find out the answer to my question and understand that. 1.

It is one of my favourite childhood memories. My sister and I had many books. As I grew older, I enjoyed staying in my father’s “library” and would read for hours each day. To make me play with friends like other kids, my parents would have to take books away from me.   I see reading as an important part of my life, not a hobby to pass my time. For me, reading opens up a whole new world. It encourages new ideas, increases my knowledge, and makes me an everyday learner. Although I enjoy communicating with people, I’m an introverted person and really need my alone time. Last year, I had several experiences that began to make me feel worried about my being shy, and I felt that it would make me lose many chances. Around this time, I read Susan Cain’s book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. This book helped me understand myself. And I’m not afraid to be myself. Charlie Jones says, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” I’ve met great people and travelled around the world — all from my chair or bed with a book in my hands. 87.

In the Sui Dynasty, the people of Yangzhou would cut colorful paper or silks and satins(缎子) to celebrate festivals. It is said that Emperor Yang came to Yangzhou three times. In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden became dry and weak. The emperor ordered the girl servants to cut fine silks and satins into flowers and leaves and use them to decorate the trees and lakes, copying nicely the looks of spring and summer. Since then, “colorful cutting” has become a popular art in Yangzhou. In the Tang Dynasty, the paper cutting industry was highly developed and a large amount of high-quality paper was made as presents to the Court (宫廷).In the Qing Dynasty, because of the economic development, the people of Yangzhou became interested in wearing fine clothing, especially embroidered(刺绣的) clothing. The embroidered designs were based on paper-cuts, The most well-known of them was Bao Jun, a paper cutting master. He won a high reputation(名声) as Magic Scissors(剪刀) for his wonderful cutting skills. After the People’s Republic of China was started, the Chinese government accepted the importance of paper cutting like many other arts and skills. In 2007, China Paper-Cuts Museum opened to the public in the back garden of the Wang’s Residence(住所), Yangzhou, greatly helping the development of Yangzhou paper cutting. 117.

They are expected to spread knowledge, ideas and truth. There’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”. He is Tao Xingzhi, a Chinese educator. ② Born in Anhui province, China, in 1891, Tao studied abroad for educational philosophy（心理学）. When Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly follow western education methods or theories. In fact, he changed the saying of “Education is life itself” to “Life is education”. Similarly, instead of “school as society (社会)”, he saw it as “society as school”. ③ For Tao, education is an active experience in real-life instead of telling and being told. He supported “unity of teaching, learning, and reflective（反思的）acting”. ④ Besides developing education methods, Tao also tried his best to improve mass education. After doing surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that in China more than 70% of the people in the city didn’t know how to read or write. ⑤ To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. To deal with the shortage of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal College in Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at schools in the countryside. ⑥ In January 1934, he started the “Little Teacher” movement in which young students were encouraged to serve as teachers to others, even to those older than themselves. Under Tao’s guidance, over 18,000 “little teachers” were invited in Shanghai within 10 months. It later included 28 provinces and cities as a key nationwide education movement. Even in the fight against the Japanese army, Tao never forgot his dream. He founded a middle school in Chongqing and offered free education to poor children. ⑦ Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life. “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.” 53. What is the correct order of Tao Xingzhi’s life experiences? a. He did surveys in different places in China. b. He went to the US to study educational philosophy. c.

It is the most important to teach students practical skills in school. 56. The structure of the passage may be ________? A. B. C. D. Passage 11（2023-24·深圳龙岗区） One day, a little mouse was running along when he happened to run across the paws (爪子) of a big sleeping lion.

He was just about to swallow (吞) him when the mouse cried out “Please, kind sir, I didn’t mean to disturb you. If you will let me go, I will be grateful (感激的) to you forever. And if I can, I will help you someday.” The lion laughed a big laugh. How, he thought, could such a little creature as a mouse ever help so great a creature as a lion? All the same, the lion decided to let the mouse go. Not long after, the mouse was running along when he heard a great roaring nearby. He went closer to see what the trouble was, and there he saw the lion, caught in hunter’s net.
