专题06 阅读理解之记叙文10篇 (上海市高考模拟) 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高三上·上海·期中）All I had to do for the two dollars was clean Her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white stove, a washing machine and a dryer — things that were common in Her neighborhood, absent in mine. In the middle of the Second World War, She had butter, sugar and steaks. Part of my pride in working for Her was earning money I could spend freely: on movies, candy, ice cream…But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant that some of my earnings were used for real things — an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was great. I had a status that doing housework at home did not provide — and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adult-like, not childlike. Little by little, I got better at cleaning Her house — good enough to be given more to do, much more for a little girl. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid She would fire me, and I would lose the freedom the dollar gave me, as well as the status I had at home. Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few complaints about the job. Although he listened carefully, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, “Listen.You don’t live there. You live here. You make the job. It doesn’t make you.” I have worked for all sorts of people since then, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to the measure of myself, and I have never placed the value of a job above the value of home. 1．In paragraph 1, the author mentioned what was in Her house in order to_______. A．illustrate a common lifestyle at the time B．stress Her life was not similar to hers C．demonstrate her pride in working for Her D．reveal the cleaning job was not easy for her 2．What was the author most proud of with the cleaning job? A．Being able to buy things without asking her parents. B．Helping her mother out by doing housework. C．Making contributions to the family income. D．Getting smiles and approving nods from Her. 3．The author complained to her father because_______. A．she hoped that he could negotiate with Her B．she didn’t know how to escape from the job C．she hoped that he could help solve her problem D．she didn’t know how to keep her status at home 4．From his childhood experience, the author has learned that _______. A．she should try various jobs to widen her horizons B．she should never ignore the freedom her earnings give her C．she should consider who she’ll work for while hunting for a job D．she should never judge herself by the work she does 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者小时候为了两美元帮别人打扫房子的故事，以及这份工作带给她的感受、骄傲以及从父亲那里学到的道理。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“All I had to do for the two dollars was clean Her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white stove, a washing machine and a dryer — things that were common in Her neighborhood, absent in mine. (为了这两美元，我所要做的就是在放学后打扫她的房子几个小时。这是一所漂亮的房子，有塑料面沙发和椅子，蓝白色的地毯，白色的炉子，洗衣机和烘干机——这些东西在她的社区很常见，在我的社区却没有。)”可知作者将女雇主家的物品与自己社区的物品进行对比，从而强调女雇主的生活与作者的生活不同。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“Part of my pride in working for Her was earning money I could spend freely: on movies, candy, ice cream…But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant that some of my earnings were used for real things — an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was great. (我为她工作感到骄傲的部分原因是我赚的钱可以自由支配：买电影、糖果、冰淇淋……但我更大的骄傲是我把一半的工资给了我母亲，这意味着我的一些收入被用在了真正的东西上——买了保险，或者欠了送奶工或卖冰工的钱。成为父母不可或缺的人的快乐是巨大的。)”可知作者将工资的一半给了母亲，意味着她为家庭收入做出了贡献。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段“Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few complaints about the job. Although he listened carefully, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it.  (后来有一天，我和父亲单独在厨房里，对这份工作抱怨了几句。虽然他听得很认真，但我从他的眼睛里看不到同情。也许他明白我想要的是解决工作问题，而不是逃避工作。)”可知作者向她父亲抱怨，是希望父亲能帮助她解决这份工作的问题，而不是逃避这份工作。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“I have worked for all sorts of people since then, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to the measure of myself, and I have never placed the value of a job above the value of home. (从那时起，我为各种各样的人工作过，机智的和迟钝的，心胸开阔的和狭隘的。我做过各种各样的工作，但自从和父亲的那次谈话之后，我就不再用劳动的水平来衡量我自己，也不再把工作的价值置于家庭的价值之上。)”可知，从和父亲的那次谈话后，作者不再把劳动的层次作为衡量自己的标准，故推断从童年的经历中，作者学到不应该通过自己所做的工作来评判自己。故选D。 （2025·上海·一模）I spent an hour or more sitting on the floor of my bedroom in my nightgown, unpacking my books from the traveling trunk and putting them on the bookshelf. I arranged them alphabetically: Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens... Then I took them all off the shelf and started again. This time I used the spines to create a rainbow of color — blue, green, gray, black... I put my book of fairy tales on the bedside table; it didn’t live with my other books. My brother, Robert, had given it to me for my twelfth birthday, very nearly a year ago. It was filled with the most beautiful pictures you could ever imagine — page after page of enchanted forests, underwater cities, and royal palaces. The longer you looked at those pictures, the more you would see — there were pictures within the pictures, worlds within worlds. My new bedroom was at the back of the house overlooking the garden and the woods beyond. I opened the heavy curtains and stood at the dark window, but all I could see was my own reflection looking back at me. There were dark circles under my eyes; my hair was a tangled brown mess. A year ago, Mama would have laughed and said, “You look like you’ve been dragged through a hedge by a runaway pony, Hen.” She would have pulled me toward her and gently brushed at the bird’s nest until my hair shone. She would have kissed me good night. I blinked away the tears, and pulled the curtains together behind me to shut out the light. The darkness beyond the window was vast and deep, nothing like the hazy gray of London at night. This sky belongs in my book of fairy tales, I thought. An evil queen’s black velvet cloak, embroidered with diamonds. And then I saw the smoke. It was drifting up from the shadowy woods. As I squinted at it, I saw a tiny orange light flickering among the trees. A fire. Someone has lit a fire in our forest. 1．What distinguishes the book of fairy tales from the other books in the author’s collection? A．It was a gift from the author’s mother. B．It contains pictures of beautiful places. C．It is the author’s favorite book. D．It is the oldest book in the collection. 2．What does the author compare the night sky with when looking out the window? A．A scene from his fairy tale book. B．The curtain of night in London. C．A story told by their mother. D．An adventure with their brother. 3．What is the primary theme of the passage? A．The joy of organizing and arranging personal belongings. B．The importance of family traditions and heirlooms. C．The excitement of discovering new places and adventures. D．The comfort found in familiar routines during times of change. 4．What does the author’s interaction with the book of fairy tales symbolize in the passage? A．A desire to escape reality and immerse in fantasy. B．A longing for childhood innocence and simplicity. C．An appreciation for artistic beauty and creativity. D．A connection to their brother and family memories. 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章通过作者整理书籍和回忆童年礼物的经历，展现了在变化时期对熟悉事物的依赖和对幻想世界的向往。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“My brother, Robert, had given it to me for my twelfth birthday, very nearly a year ago. It was filled with the most beautiful pictures you could ever imagine — page after page of enchanted forests, underwater cities, and royal palaces. (我的哥哥罗伯特在我十二岁生日时送给我的，那几乎是整整一年前的事了。它里面装满了你能想象到的最美丽的图画——一页又一页的魔法森林、水下城市和皇家宫殿。)”可知，这本童话书与其他书不同，因为它包含了许多美丽的插图，描绘了奇幻的森林、水下城市和皇家宫殿。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第六段“This sky belongs in my book of fairy tales, I thought. An evil queen’s black velvet cloak, embroidered with diamonds. (我想，这片天空属于我的童话书。那是一个邪恶女王的黑色天鹅绒斗篷，上面镶嵌着钻石。)”可知，作者将夜空比作童话书中的场景，特别是邪恶女王的黑色天鹅绒斗篷，上面镶嵌着钻石。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据文章第一句“I spent an hour or more sitting on the floor of my bedroom in my nightgown, unpacking my books from the traveling trunk and putting them on the bookshelf. (我穿着睡衣，在卧室的地板上坐了一个多小时，从旅行箱里取出我的书，然后把它们放在书架上。)”及全文可知，文章主要描述了作者在整理书籍时的回忆和对新环境的感受。作者通过整理书籍和回忆童年礼物，表达了在变化时期对熟悉事物的依赖和对幻想世界的向往。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据第六段“ The darkness beyond the window was vast and deep, nothing like the hazy gray of London at night. This sky belongs in my book of fairy tales, I thought. An evil queen’s black velvet cloak, embroidered with diamonds. (窗外的黑暗又大又深，一点也不像伦敦夜晚朦胧的灰色。我想，这片天空属于我的童话书。那是一个邪恶女王的黑色天鹅绒斗篷，上面镶嵌着钻石。)”以及第七段“A fire. Someone has lit a fire in our forest. (有火光。有人在我们的森林里点了一堆火。)”可知，作者通过与童话书的互动，表达了对现实的逃避和对幻想世界的沉浸。故选A。 （23-24高三上·上海金山·阶段练习）Writer Robert Thorogood is the brains behind the hit BBC series Death in Paradise. His latest novel, The Marlow Murder Club, is available now (HQ, £12.99).Peril at End House by Agatha Christie This was the first “adult” book I read and I didn’t know that it was a murder mystery. When I discovered at the end of the book that the author had been unreliable and used slight of hand to hide the killer, it blew my tiny mind. I fell hard and fast in love with golden age murder mysteries and that love is something I’ve never shaken. In my thirties I spent a lot of time trying to think of a light-hearted murder mystery that I could set up on TV, because I’d been in love with the genre for my entire life. So much as that after Death in Paradise, I wanted to do another light-hearted murder mystery with The Marlow Murder Club.Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen by P G Wodehouse P G Wodehouse was the greatest crafts person who ever lived — his ability to create the perfect sentence is unparalleled — but the thing I took from him was his extraordinary story-telling. Jeeves will start off wanting to go on a cruise, then he has to steal a cow creamer, then there’s an instance with a policeman’s helmet — these all seem to be unrelated events, yet Wodehouse’s genius is to bring them together in a bow right at the end so that you’re left with the feeling that a complete story has been told that started off in a mess and ends in a place of accordm. The Marlow Murder Club is a love letter to the sort of story-telling that Wodehouse could do in his sleep. All of my story-telling I learned from Wodehouse.Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons I’d been told that this was the funniest novel ever written, but when I first tried it at 14, I just couldn’t get on with it．It sat on my shelf for years and every six months I’d pull it down and have another go. Then, when I was 17, I finally found it funny, and it was such a relief. If I could find Cold Comfort Farm funny, then maybe I was right to want to be a comedy writer. From Cold Comfort Farm I learned about writing characters in a comic setting. The ending is genuinely beautiful writing that makes you feel warm and happy inside. 1．What do the three books have in common? A．They all have had a huge influence on the writer. B．They all appealed to the writer while he was a kid. C．They all bear some resemblance to the writer’s latest novel. D．They all deal with a murder case with a humorous touch. 2．What does the writer learn from Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen? A．How to create perfect sentences in a story. B．How to give a story an unexpected ending. C．How to tie up unrelated events in a logical way. D．How to make up a light-hearted murder mystery. 3．What does the writer say about Cold Comfort Farm? A．It has an ending that different people interpret differently. B．It took him quite a long time to find how funny it was. C．It inspired a lot of people to become a comedy writer. D．It is not as interesting as he expected it to be. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己读过的三本书和这些书带来的影响。 1．细节理解题。根据Peril at End House by Agatha Christieu部分中“When I discovered at the end of the book that the author had been unreliable and used slight of hand to hide the killer, it blew my tiny mind. I fell hard and fast in love with golden age murder mysteries and that love is something I’ve never shaken. (当我在书的结尾发现作者不可靠，用巧妙的手法隐藏了凶手时，我小小的脑袋都惊呆了。我迅速而深深地爱上了黄金时代的谋杀悬疑小说，这份爱从未动摇过。)”可知Peril at End House对作者产生了很大影响；根据Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen by P G Wodehouse部分中“P G Wodehouse was the greatest crafts person who ever lived — his ability to create the perfect sentence is unparalleled — but the thing I took from him was his extraordinary story telling... The Marlow Murder Club is a love letter to the sort of story telling that Wodehouse could do in his sleep. All of my story telling I learned from Wodehouse.(P·G·沃德豪斯是有史以来最伟大的工匠——他创造完美句子的能力无与伦比——但我从他那里学到的是他非凡的讲故事能力……《马洛谋杀俱乐部》是对沃德豪斯那种信手拈来的讲故事方式的一封情书。我所有的讲故事技巧都是从沃德豪斯那里学来的)”可知Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen对作者产生了很大影响；根据Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons部分中“Then, when I was 17, I finally found it funny, and it was such a relief. If I could find Cold Comfort Farm funny, then maybe I was right to want to be a comedy writer. From Cold Comfort Farm I learned about writing characters in a comic setting.(然后，当我17岁的时候，我终于发现它很有趣，这让我松了一口气。如果我能觉得《寒冷舒适的农庄》有趣，那么也许我想成为一名喜剧作家是对的。从《寒冷舒适的农庄》中我学会了在喜剧场景中塑造人物)”可知Cold Comfort Farm对作者产生了很大影响。由此可知，这三本书都对作者产生了巨大影响。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen by P G Wodehouse部分中“Jeeves will start off wanting to go on a cruise, then he has to steal a cow creamer, then there’s an instance with a policeman’s helmet — these all seem to be unrelated events, yet Wodehouse’s genius is to bring them together in a bow right at the end so that you’re left with the feeling that a complete story has been told that started off in a mess and ends in a place of accord.(吉夫斯一开始想去游轮旅行，然后他不得不偷一个奶牛形状的奶精壶，接着又发生了一件和警察头盔有关的事——这些似乎都是不相关的事件，但沃德豪斯的天才之处在于，他能在结尾把它们完美地串联起来，让你觉得讲了一个完整的故事，故事开始时一团糟，最后却和谐圆满)”可知，作者从Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen中学到了如何以合乎逻辑的方式把不相关的事件联系起来。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons部分中“I’d been told that this was the funniest novel ever written, but when I first tried it at 14, I just couldn’t get on with it. It sat on my shelf for years and every six months I’d pull it down and have another go. Then, when I was 17, I finally found it funny(有人告诉我这是有史以来最有趣的小说，但当我14岁第一次读它时，我就是读不下去。它在我的书架上放了好几年，每隔六个月我就会把它拿下来再试一次。然后，当我17岁的时候，我终于发现它很有趣)”可知，作者花了很长时间才发现Cold Comfort Farm有多有趣。故选B项。 （2024·上海青浦·一模）My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lived. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe. I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way. In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 1．Why did the writer expect nothing when meeting Fira? A．Because Fira’s reaction led the writer to feel hurt and fearful. B．Because the writer’s mentality kept her from connecting with others. C．Because the writer knew nothing about Fira and didn’t know what to expect. D．Because the animals on the farm distracted the writer from focusing on her body. 2．Which of the following statements about Fira is TRUE? A．Fira was the writer’s pet, living on her farm. B．Fira made the writer feel better by giving her rides. C．Fira got the writer to concentrate on her hurt feelings. D．Fira responded affectionately to the writer’s approach. 3．In the last paragraph, the writer shares her experience with Fira to imply that _______. A．animals can follow people’s instructions, thus gaining their trust B．interacting with animals can be a therapy to psychological distress C．meetings with animals can help people step out of their comfort zone D．people can access temporary peace and joy when working with animals 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．My Doctor’s Farm: A Place of Healing B．Fira: The Horse that Saved My Life C．From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira D．Horse Smell: The Magic Power 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者身心俱疲，因焦虑和抑郁而灰心丧气，这时遇到了一匹马费拉，在和费拉接触的过程中，作者也逐渐走出了黑暗。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now.(我身心俱疲，因焦虑和抑郁而灰心丧气。这个地方充满了生机。有昆虫、马、兔子和一只猫。她告诉我在环境中要关注自己的身体。当我生病时，我倾向于退回到我的思想中，与此时此地脱节)”可知，作者见到费拉时没有任何期待是因为作者的心态使她无法与他人交流。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart.(当我靠近菲拉时，她用鼻子蹭我的胸口，轻轻地压在我的心脏上)”以及第二段“She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way.(她通过回应我的情绪状态，并以一种开放、深情的方式反馈给我，从而与我建立联系)”可知，D选项“费拉深情地回应了作者的靠近”正确。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.(在与费拉的会面中，我学会了活在当下，专注于今天、此时此刻、这个地方正在发生的事情。我学会了忘记过去，忘记所有的伤痛。我学会了忘记尚未发生的未来。有费拉在我身边，我看到了一种信任为先、同情为辅的生活。我用我自己的意念来指示她是开始，是停止，是左转还是右转，在引导她沿着一条路走的过程中，我找到了一种深深的平静。我感到一种内心的平静，甚至是喜悦。我和这匹马的工作是我灵魂深处黑暗之夜旅程的一部分)”可知，作者分享了她与费拉的经历，暗示与动物互动可以成为一种心理困扰的治疗方法。故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul.(我和这匹马的工作是我灵魂深处黑暗之夜旅程的一部分)”结合文章主要讲述了作者身心俱疲，因焦虑和抑郁而灰心丧气，这时遇到了一匹马费拉，在和费拉接触的过程中，作者也逐渐走出了黑暗。可知，C选项“从黑暗到光明：我和费拉的旅程”最符合文章标题。故选C。 （2024·上海浦东新·一模）I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C． But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave. On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulfof Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes. That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate (撤离) ahead of the storm. In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.” It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away. When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky — we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks. 1．The author moved to Asheville, N.C． to _______. A．get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B．find a new job in South Carolina C．live near the French Broad River D．flee California’s drought and wildfire 2．What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean? A．The family realized the pleasure of playing with LEGOs. B．The family decided to stay in the house despite the danger. C．The family felt alarmed at the sight of the tree crashing down. D．The family became more at ease about the situation at that time. 3．What can be inferred from paragragh 5? A．Timely access to information is important during a disaster. B．The treatment plant is supposed to be built deep underwater. C．People must depend on neighbors for survival in a disaster. D．Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community. 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Consequences of a hurricane B．Measures against the disaster C．A new beginning in Asheville D．An account of a climate refugee 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．A 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了从加州搬到阿什维尔寻求气候安全，却因飓风导致被迫再次迁移的经历，反映了气候变化下人们生活的艰难与无奈。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the ‘climate shelter’ of Asheville, N.C.(我没准备好成为气候难民。我的家人从干旱和野火肆虐的加州搬到了北卡罗来纳州阿什维尔的“气候避难所”)”可知，作者搬到北卡罗来纳州的阿什维尔是为了逃离加利福尼亚州的干旱和野火。故选D。 2．词句猜测题。根据第四段中提到的大松树砸到屋顶上，特别是“a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs(一棵大松树砸在了我小儿子卧室上方的屋顶上，而他当时正在玩乐高)”，以及随后提到的儿子未受伤但这一事件“drove home the severity of what was happening around us(让我们意识到我们周围发生的事情的严重性)”可推知，这句话意味着家人在看到树倒下的情景时感到惊恐。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第五段中“It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service.(很难获得关于阿什维尔情况的信息。几个小时之内，我们就失去了电力、网络甚至手机服务)”可知，在灾难期间，很难获取阿什维尔的信息，几小时内就失去了电力、互联网甚至手机服务，说明在灾难期间及时获取信息是很重要的。故选A。 4．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee.(我没准备好成为气候难民)”以及后文描述作者一家因气候灾害而被迫离开阿什维尔，可知文章主要讲述了作者作为一名气候难民的经历，因此最适合的标题是“An account of a climate refugee(一名气候难民的叙述)”。故选D。 （2024·上海闵行·一模）Back in her twenties, Linda Park was all about fashion. But she also started noticing something disturbing: the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment. As she worked as a designer, she was shocked by the mountains of unsold clothes, fabrics that would hang around for decades, and the harmful dyes (染料) dumping into rivers. It hit her — if she was going to make a real difference, she’d have to roll up her sleeves (袖子) and tackle fashion’s waste problem herself. Every year, millions of tons of clothing are thrown aside, with almost half of it ending up in landfills. And here’s the kicker: most of it barely gets worn before it’s thrown away, thanks to the endless cycle of fast fashion. Park thought, “I can do better than this.” So, she pictured a new kind of store — one that wouldn’t just reduce waste but would also inspire people to make smarter, greener choices. In September 2020, Park launched GreenThread — her sustainable fashion dream came true. The store’s special touch? It sold upcycled clothing and fabric made from waste materials. Customers could bring in their old clothes and trade them for store credit, giving the items a second life. GreenThread’s clothes were a mix of repurposed fabrics and eco-friendly dyes, proving that sustainable fashion can be stylish. Now, GreenThread’s clothes aren’t exactly cheap. A T-shirt might cost $25, while the same one at a regular store could be $15. But here’s the deal: people love the quality, the durability, and the fact that they’ re supporting an eco-friendly brand. It feels good to be part of the solution, right? When the pandemic (疫情) hit, it wasn’t smooth sailing. But Park wasn’t ready to call it quits. She switched to an online model and started offering virtual style consultations. The response was awesome, and GreenThread’s fan base grew as more people realized the benefits of shopping sustainably. Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes. “Each piece has its own story,” she smiles. “Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived. It’s not just fashion; it’s a movement.” 1．________ inspired Linda Park to start her business. A．A desire to promote eco-friendly dyes B．The high demand for recycled clothing C．The waste generated by the fashion industry D．Her background in sustainable design 2．The phrase “the kicker” in paragraph 2 most likely means ________. A．the person kicking the football B．something unexpected and surprising C．the most exciting part of the situation D．the reason why fast fashion is successful 3．Which of the following best describes Park’s attitude towards her business? A．Optimistic and practical. B．Carefree and relaxed. C．Focused and cautious. D．Creative and determined. 4．According to the last paragraph, what do customers appreciate about GreenThread? A．The unique story and mission behind each piece. B．The emotional satisfaction of owning a unique piece. C．The chance to see how many times the fabric has been reused. D．The ability to trace the environmental impact of the material. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Linda Park因为注意到时尚产业对环境造成的严重伤害，决定亲自解决时尚产业的浪费问题，从而创立了GreenThread这家可持续时尚商店。 1．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“But she also started noticing something disturbing: the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment. As she worked as a designer, she was shocked by the mountains of unsold clothes, fabrics that would hang around for decades, and the harmful dyes (染料) dumping into rivers. It hit her — if she was going to make a real difference, she’d have to roll up her sleeves (袖子) and tackle fashion’s waste problem herself.(但她也开始注意到一些令人不安的事情：时装业正在严重损害环境。当她做设计师的时候，她被堆积如山的未售出的衣服、可以存放几十年的面料和流入河流的有害染料震惊了。她突然意识到，如果她真的想有所作为，她就必须卷起袖子，亲自解决时尚界的浪费问题)”可知，Linda Park开始注意到时尚产业对环境造成的严重伤害，特别是看到大量未售出的衣服和有害染料被倒入河流中，这让她决定亲自解决时尚产业的浪费问题。因此，是时尚产业产生的浪费激励了Linda Park开始她的生意。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的句子“Every year, millions of tons of clothing are thrown aside, with almost half of it ending up in landfills. (每年，数百万吨的衣服被扔到一边，其中近一半最终进入垃圾填埋场)”可知，每年有数百万吨的衣物被丢弃，其中几乎一半最终被填埋。同时根据划线词后的内容“most of it barely gets worn before it’s thrown away, thanks to the endless cycle of fast fashion.(由于快时尚的无限循环，大部分衣服几乎没穿就被扔掉了。)”可知，由于快速时尚的无限循环，大部分衣物在被丢弃前几乎没有被穿过，推测划线部分the kicker指的是令人惊讶和意外的情况，B选项“something unexpected and surprising (令人惊讶和意外的事情)”与划线词意思相近。故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据第二段中“ So, she pictured a new kind of store — one that wouldn’t just reduce waste but would also inspire people to make smarter, greener choices.(因此，她设想了一种新型的商店——一种不仅能减少浪费，还能激励人们做出更聪明、更环保的选择的商店)”、第三段中“In September 2020, Park launched GreenThread — her sustainable fashion dream came true. (2020年9月，Park推出了GreenThread——她的可持续时尚梦想实现了)”以及根据倒数第二段中“When the pandemic (疫情) hit, it wasn’t smooth sailing. But Park wasn’t ready to call it quits. She switched to an online model and started offering virtual style consultations.( 当大流行来袭时，并不是一帆风顺的。但Park并不打算就此放弃。她转向了在线模式，并开始提供虚拟造型咨询)”可知，文章对Linda Park的描述，她不仅注意到了时尚产业的环境问题，而且亲自采取行动，创立了一家名为GreenThread的可持续时尚商店。她在疫情期间也没有放弃，而是转向线上模式并提供虚拟风格咨询。这表明她对自己的业务既富有创意又充满决心。因此，选项D“Creative and determined (有创造力和决心的)”最能描述Park对她的事业的态度。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes. “Each piece has its own story,” she smiles. “Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived. It’s not just fashion; it’s a movement.”(Park说，她的店的使命不仅仅是卖衣服。“每件作品都有自己的故事，”她微笑着说。“顾客可以看到一种面料经历了多少生命。这不仅仅是时尚；这是一场运动。”)”可知，Park表示她的商店的使命不仅仅是卖衣服，每件作品都有自己的故事。顾客可以看到一块布料经历了多少生命，这不仅仅是时尚，而是一场运动。这表明顾客欣赏GreenThread的是每件作品背后的独特故事和使命。因此，选项A“The unique story and mission behind each piece (每件作品背后的独特故事和使命)”符合题意。故选A。 （24-25高三上·上海金山·阶段练习）I was walking home when a well-dressed man politely stopped me. “Could you tell me which way to Bloor and…” He struggled to get the next word out with a pained look, but I knew better than to finish his sentence for him. “… Bathurst?” he said after several seconds of trying. When I answered, he told me that he didn’t actually need to know. He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers. “Are you doing that because it’s National Stuttering Awareness Day?” I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: “So your stutter has magically disappeared?” I paused. I understood why he assumed this — I sounded quite fluent. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with. Data shows four percent of all children stutter, while only one percent of them stutter into adulthood-a 75 percent drop. But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? Actually, though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, informing the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world. Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There’s no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no “recovering” from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. Some researchers have begun to argue that treatment for stutter shouldn’t be centered around removing a person’s stutter, but rather on reducing one’s negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it. As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I decided to tell the man, who was still looking at me hopefully: “______.” 1．The decent man stopped the author because he ______. A．lost his way and asked about the direction B．was very eager to connect with other stutterers C．wanted to be braver when talking to unfamiliar people D．was practising giving speeches fluently in open occasions 2．Why did the author misname the International as National in paragraph 2? A．Because he misremembered the name of this day. B．Because the National version is more familiar to people. C．Because it is quite difficult for him to make the sound “inter”. D．Because as a stutter, he can’t pronounce the word “international”. 3．What might be the author’s answer in the last paragraph? A．Yes. I have got rid of stutter by developing a more positive attitude towards life. B．No. There is no recovering from stutter and I have simply found ways to conceal it. C．Yes. As I grow older, I rarely stutter now and people around me don’t know I stuttered. D．No. I will always live with stutter because it is also apart of me and I gladly accept that. 4．What’s the best title for this passage? A．My stutter, myself B．New definitions for stutter C．Stutter, a life-changing disability D．A special encounter with stutterers 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．D 4．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者遇到一个穿着考究的男人来问路，虽然有口吃，但是男人阻止了作者的接话，因为他想在与陌生人交谈时更勇敢一些。这让作者想到了自己曾经也有口吃，但是作者选择了让口吃成为自己的一部分。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers.(他解释说，他正在公开练习口吃，希望能在陌生人面前更自信)”可知，这个体面的男人阻止了作者，因为他想在与陌生人交谈时更勇敢一些。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with.(但就在我们说话的时候，我的口吃已经影响了我的发音，这就是为什么我把“国际”误称为“国家”，以避免我一直在努力解决的棘手的前音)”可知，international与national区别在于inter，即，作者在第2段把“国际”误称为“国家”是因为他发“inter”这个音很困难。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段问题“But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? (但是这些所谓的前口吃者是否完全摆脱了口吃的过去呢？)”及最后一段“As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak.(至于我，我想说我的口吃并没有“神奇地消失”，因为我只是找到了隐藏它的方法。但我现在有了更好的治疗方法——我将与它一起成长，一种与我说话方式密不可分的身份)”可知，作者在最后一段的答案可能是：没有。我将永远带着口吃生活，因为它也是我的一部分，我很高兴地接受这一点。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak.(至于我，我想说我的口吃并没有“神奇地消失”，因为我只是找到了隐藏它的方法。但我现在有了更好的治疗方法——我将与它一起成长，一种与我说话方式密不可分的身份)”结合文章讲述了作者遇到一个穿着考究的男人来问路，虽然有口吃，但是男人阻止了作者的接话，因为他想在与陌生人交谈时更勇敢一些。这让作者想到了自己曾经也有口吃，但是作者选择了让口吃成为自己的一部分。可知，A选项“我的口吃——我的一部分”最符合文章标题。故选A。 （2024·上海虹口·一模）1One afternoon a few months before Tom and I were to be married, Max wandered into the dining room of the house we all shared. I was sorting through a box of old photographs. 2“Who’s that?” he asked. 3“That was my grandfather, the one who died a few months ago.” 4“Hmm. Too bad he had to die.” 5Just as I was about to put the last of the pictures in the box, Max pressed his finger to a face. “And who will this be to me?” 6Beneath his finger I could see the edges of my own face. I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I had no name. This son of the man I loved was becoming my son. We’d have family Christmas cards and school art stuck to the fridge. All these things I’d never allowed myself to want. Now I was becoming a mother. 7I should have known how to say just the right, wise, magical thing. But I didn’t. “I’ll be your second mom,” I said. 8“Oh.” 9“I’m sorry that your first mom died. I liked her.” 10“What should I call you?” he asked. 11My heart pounded, and my stomach turned over. Mama, I wanted to cry. I’ll be your mama and you’ll be my son. I resisted. “You can call me Mom, or Mama. You can also call me Betsy, if you’d rather. Whatever feels okay for you.” 12He stood there a minute. “What’s for dinner?” he asked. 13“Burgers.” 14“Swect,” he said as he walked out of the room. 15At our wedding a few months later, Tom and I said our vows (誓言) to one another. Then Max was invited to stand beside us and I made vows to him. I promised to step into the shoes his mother had been forced to leave behind, to help him remember her, and to be the best mother I could be. 16After the wedding, for the next few days, Max tried out a new title for me. “Can we go bowling?” he’d ask, and then follow the question by mouthing the word mom. Or, “Can we go to the store?” And the mouthed word, mom. Mom was always silent. It seemed he was trying it on, seeing how it felt in his mouth. 17Weeks later as I drove him home from school, Max suddenly said, “I notice I don’t call you Mom.” 18Oof. Who threw that rock at my chest? I breathed to calm my voice. “I noticed that.” 19“When I say Betsy, I mean Mom.” 20“Thanks,” I said. “That’s nice to know.” 21He looked out the window. “Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.” 22I willed tears away, not wanting to overwhelm him. He had enough to carry. “Thanks, Bud. I appreciate you telling me.” 23“Hey, Betsy?” 24“Yeah,” I said, delighted with the new sound of my old name. 25“What’s for dinner?” he asked. 1．When Betty said “I’ll be your second mom,” (paragraph 7), she ______. A．thought her role was significant to Max B．wished Max could let go of the sad memories C．was looking forward to becoming Max’s mother D．suggested that she was legally responsible for Max 2．According to Max, why did he call Betsy “Betsy” instead of Mom? A．He wants to tell Betsy she is his best friend. B．He still feels shy to address Betsy as Mom. C．He doesn’t want to forget his dead mother. D．He hopes Betsy could always be with him. 3．How does Betsy most probably feel when Max mentions dinner at the end of the passage? A．Confused about Max’s favourite food. B．Happy to lead a regular family life. C．Relieved to have a simple conversation. D．Annoyed with Max’s constant questioning. 4．Why does the author develop the passage with short dialogues? A．To reveal the tension between Max and Betsy. B．To show that Max is avoiding deep conversations. C．To help express the two speakers’ emotions directly. D．To make the passage shorter and easier to understand. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Betty在与Tom结婚前，对融入Tom的儿子Max的生活充满期待，想成为他的“第二位母亲”。婚后Max尝试称呼Betty为“Mom”，但最终还是称她“Betsy”，因为他希望Betty能一直陪伴自己。 1．推理判断题。根据第六段中“I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I had no name. This son of the man I loved was becoming my son. We’d have family Christmas cards and school art stuck to the fridge. All these things I’d never allowed myself to want. Now I was becoming a mother. (我突然感到一种无法名状的喜悦。我爱的人的儿子正在成为我的儿子。我们会把家庭圣诞卡和学校的艺术品贴在冰箱上。所有这些我从未允许自己想要的东西。现在我要做母亲了)”可知，Betty意识到自己正在成为一个母亲，她非常喜悦，对未来美好的家庭生活充满向往。由此可知，在说这句话时，她期待着成为Max的母亲。故选C项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二十一段“He looked out the window. “Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.” (他向窗外望去。“妈妈会死的，你知道的。我觉得你还是叫Betsy比较安全。”)”可知，Max经历了母亲的离世，对于称呼Betsy为“Mom (妈妈)”存在一定的心理障碍，很害怕再次经历失去母亲的痛苦。因此，他用“Betsy”这个称呼，是希望Betsy能够一直陪伴着他，而不是像母亲这个身份一样可能会突然消失。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据最后三段““Hey, Betsy?” (“嘿，Betsy？”)”、““Yeah,” I said, delighted with the new sound of my old name. (“嗯，”我说，为自己旧名字的新发音感到高兴)”和““What’s for dinner?” he asked. (“晚饭吃什么？”他问)”可知，Max正在和Betsy以新的方式相处，把她当作自己的亲人，询问晚餐的问题虽然简单，但这是日常家庭生活的常态。这表明Betty在过正常的家庭生活，成为Max生活中的一部分，她很可能感到幸福。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章通过简短的对话形式，直接展现了Betty和Max之间的情感交流。这种对话形式让读者能够直观地感受到两人的情感变化，尤其是Betty的内心波动和Max的微妙反应。故选C项。 （2025·上海嘉定·一模）It’s strange how a single moment can shift everything you think you know. One winter morning, all it took was a little stubbornness (固执) and a lot of snow for me to learn a lesson I’d remember for years, This is the story of how I wrecked my dad’s car. It was early January, and I was a senior in high school. It was a regular Tuesday morning, and like every other day, I grabbed my jacket, picked up the keys from the counter, and was about to head out when my dad stopped me. “Whoa, there,” he said, glancing at the snow piling up outside. “The roads are covered in snow. You’re taking the bus today.” I argued, pointing out that school was about to start, and I didn’t want to wait for the bus. My dad, known for his stubbornness, wouldn’t give in. After a few heated words, he sighed and handed me the keys. “Fine, but be careful,” he said. I slid into the car, a bit triumphant. The roads looked fine, I thought, barely an inch of snow, I started the car and pulled out of the driveway, feeling a surge of independence. But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and I was in trouble — the car started to skid.

Why? Because that was the day when you chose where you would sit for the entire year. Caroline realized that in some classes this choice would be made for her. The teacher would place students in alphabetical (按字母顺序的) order, meaning she would have to sit in front of Zach Rodgers yet again. Zach was attracted by Caroline, and would distract her from her work by passing notes and telling jokes to impress her. In general, being a Robbins was pretty good, but having to sit in front of Zach was definitely a drawback. In her other classes, though, Caroline would be sure to choose just the right seat. Caroline liked to think of herself as one of the cool kids, but she also did well in school and liked learning. So, Caroline wanted to sit close to the cool kids, but not too close, or she would be more interested in talking than paying attention. She also knew that it was good to be friends with the smart kids, because they could help Caroline with her schoolwork. However, she didn’t want to sit too close to the smart kids. Unfortunately, at Caroline’s school, the smart kids and the cool kids were not the same kids. Caroline had all of this in mind as she walked through the school’s front door on the first day. She knew where her first class was, but she didn’t want to be the first one there. If you were the first one there, you didn’t have any control at all! Other people got to choose how close they sat to you, not the other way around. This simply would not do. So, she took her time walking down the hall, taking a minute to talk to her friend Alma, whom she hadn’t seen for the entire summer. At last, she walked through the door of her first class, and there it was, the perfect seat! Two seats away from Jasmine, the smartest girl in her entire grade, and just in front of Marc, who was very cool and totally cute. There was a new guy to the left, which could be a risk, but how bad could a new guy be? So Caroline started toward the seat, being careful not to rush, when Marc’s best friend Jason sat down in her chair! Sure, there were other seats, but no other perfect ones. Saddened but not discouraged, Caroline sat down in the second-best seat and immediately started planning for lunchtime, when she was determined to get the best seat in the cafeteria. 1．As used in paragraph 1, the word “drawback” most nearly means “_________”. A．disadvantage B．benefit C．virtue D．withdrawal 2．What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A．Caroline was often seen as a cool kid, not a smart kid. B．Caroline wanted to be the only smart kid in her school. C．If Caroline was seen as a smart kid, no one would think she was cool. D．Caroline’s school was unusual in that smart kids were also cool. 3．According to the passage, Caroline makes sure not to get to class too early by _________. A．taking time to fix her hair B．going to the wrong class C．waiting outside the school gate D．stopping to talk to her friend 4．How did Caroline feel about the new guy sitting next to her desired seat? A．She was thrilled to have a new friend to sit next to. B．She was concerned he might be a disturbance. C．She was relieved that he didn’t take the perfect seat. D．She was disappointed because he didn’t look cool. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Caroline在新学期选择座位的心路历程。 1．词句猜测题。由文章第一段中“Zach was attracted by Caroline, and would distract her from her work by passing notes and telling jokes to impress her. In general, being a Robbins was pretty good, but having to sit in front of Zach was definitely a drawback. (Zach被Caroline吸引，会给她递纸条、讲笑话来吸引她的注意，从而分散她学习的注意力。总的来说，作为Robbins家族的一员很不错，但是不得不坐在Zach前面绝对是一个drawback)”可知，Zach分散她学习的注意力，坐在Zach前面绝对是一个不利条件或缺点。drawback在此处的意思是“不利条件，缺点”。A. disadvantage缺点，不利条件；B. benefit好处；C. virtue美德；D. withdrawal撤回。故选A。 2．推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Unfortunately, at Caroline’s school, the smart kids and the cool kids were not the same kids. (不幸的是，在Caroline的学校里，聪明的孩子和酷的孩子并不是同一批人)”可知，在Caroline的学校，聪明的孩子和酷的孩子不是同一批孩子。由此可以推断出，如果Caroline被认为是聪明的孩子，那么就不会有人认为她是酷的孩子。故选C。 3．细节理解题。由文章第三段中“She knew where her first class was, but she didn’t want to be the first one there. If you were the first one there, you didn’t have any control at all! Other people got to choose how close they sat to you, not the other way around. This simply would not do. So, she took her time walking down the hall, taking a minute to talk to her friend Alma, whom she hadn’t seen for the entire summer. (她知道自己的第一节课在哪里，但她不想第一个到那里。如果你是第一个到的，那你就完全没有控制权了！其他人可以选择离你多近坐下，而不是你来选择。这绝对不行。于是，她慢慢地走在走廊里，花了一分钟的时间和整个夏天都没见过的朋友Alma聊天)”可知，为了确保不会太早到教室，Caroline停下来和朋友聊天。故选D。 4．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“There was a new guy to the left, which could be a risk, but how bad could a new guy be?  (左边有一个新来的男生，这可能有点冒险，但新来的男生能有多坏呢？)”可知，Caroline对坐在她想要的座位旁边的新来的男生感到担忧，认为他可能会是一个干扰。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题06 阅读理解之记叙文10篇 (上海市高考模拟) 基础语篇巩固练 （24-25高三上·上海·期中）All I had to do for the two dollars was clean Her house for a few hours after school. It was a beautiful house, too, with a plastic-covered sofa and chairs, wall-to-wall blue-and-white carpeting, a white stove, a washing machine and a dryer — things that were common in Her neighborhood, absent in mine. In the middle of the Second World War, She had butter, sugar and steaks. Part of my pride in working for Her was earning money I could spend freely: on movies, candy, ice cream…But a larger part of my pride was based on the fact that I gave half my wages to my mother, which meant that some of my earnings were used for real things — an insurance-policy payment or what was owed to the milkman or the iceman. The pleasure of being necessary to my parents was great. I had a status that doing housework at home did not provide — and it earned me a slow smile, an approving nod from an adult. Confirmations that I was adult-like, not childlike. Little by little, I got better at cleaning Her house — good enough to be given more to do, much more for a little girl. I was ordered to carry bookcases upstairs and, once, to move a piano from one side of a room to the other. I wanted to refuse, or at least to complain, but I was afraid She would fire me, and I would lose the freedom the dollar gave me, as well as the status I had at home. Then one day, alone in the kitchen with my father, I let drop a few complaints about the job. Although he listened carefully, I saw no sympathy in his eyes. Perhaps he understood that what I wanted was a solution to the job, not an escape from it. In any case, he put down his cup of coffee and said, “Listen.You don’t live there. You live here. You make the job. It doesn’t make you.” I have worked for all sorts of people since then, quick-witted and dull, big-hearted and narrow. I’ve had many kinds of jobs, but since that conversation with my father I have never considered the level of labor to the measure of myself, and I have never placed the value of a job above the value of home. 1．In paragraph 1, the author mentioned what was in Her house in order to_______. A．illustrate a common lifestyle at the time B．stress Her life was not similar to hers C．demonstrate her pride in working for Her D．reveal the cleaning job was not easy for her 2．What was the author most proud of with the cleaning job? A．Being able to buy things without asking her parents. B．Helping her mother out by doing housework. C．Making contributions to the family income. D．Getting smiles and approving nods from Her. 3．The author complained to her father because_______. A．she hoped that he could negotiate with Her B．she didn’t know how to escape from the job C．she hoped that he could help solve her problem D．she didn’t know how to keep her status at home 4．From his childhood experience, the author has learned that _______. A．she should try various jobs to widen her horizons B．she should never ignore the freedom her earnings give her C．she should consider who she’ll work for while hunting for a job D．she should never judge herself by the work she does （2025·上海·一模）I spent an hour or more sitting on the floor of my bedroom in my nightgown, unpacking my books from the traveling trunk and putting them on the bookshelf. I arranged them alphabetically: Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, Lewis Carroll, Charles Dickens... Then I took them all off the shelf and started again. This time I used the spines to create a rainbow of color — blue, green, gray, black... I put my book of fairy tales on the bedside table; it didn’t live with my other books. My brother, Robert, had given it to me for my twelfth birthday, very nearly a year ago. It was filled with the most beautiful pictures you could ever imagine — page after page of enchanted forests, underwater cities, and royal palaces. The longer you looked at those pictures, the more you would see — there were pictures within the pictures, worlds within worlds. My new bedroom was at the back of the house overlooking the garden and the woods beyond. I opened the heavy curtains and stood at the dark window, but all I could see was my own reflection looking back at me. There were dark circles under my eyes; my hair was a tangled brown mess. A year ago, Mama would have laughed and said, “You look like you’ve been dragged through a hedge by a runaway pony, Hen.” She would have pulled me toward her and gently brushed at the bird’s nest until my hair shone. She would have kissed me good night. I blinked away the tears, and pulled the curtains together behind me to shut out the light. The darkness beyond the window was vast and deep, nothing like the hazy gray of London at night. This sky belongs in my book of fairy tales, I thought. An evil queen’s black velvet cloak, embroidered with diamonds. And then I saw the smoke. It was drifting up from the shadowy woods. As I squinted at it, I saw a tiny orange light flickering among the trees. A fire. Someone has lit a fire in our forest. 1．What distinguishes the book of fairy tales from the other books in the author’s collection? A．It was a gift from the author’s mother.

His latest novel, The Marlow Murder Club, is available now (HQ, £12.99).Peril at End House by Agatha Christie This was the first “adult” book I read and I didn’t know that it was a murder mystery. When I discovered at the end of the book that the author had been unreliable and used slight of hand to hide the killer, it blew my tiny mind. I fell hard and fast in love with golden age murder mysteries and that love is something I’ve never shaken. In my thirties I spent a lot of time trying to think of a light-hearted murder mystery that I could set up on TV, because I’d been in love with the genre for my entire life. So much as that after Death in Paradise, I wanted to do another light-hearted murder mystery with The Marlow Murder Club.Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen by P G Wodehouse P G Wodehouse was the greatest crafts person who ever lived — his ability to create the perfect sentence is unparalleled — but the thing I took from him was his extraordinary story-telling. Jeeves will start off wanting to go on a cruise, then he has to steal a cow creamer, then there’s an instance with a policeman’s helmet — these all seem to be unrelated events, yet Wodehouse’s genius is to bring them together in a bow right at the end so that you’re left with the feeling that a complete story has been told that started off in a mess and ends in a place of accordm. The Marlow Murder Club is a love letter to the sort of story-telling that Wodehouse could do in his sleep. All of my story-telling I learned from Wodehouse.Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons I’d been told that this was the funniest novel ever written, but when I first tried it at 14, I just couldn’t get on with it．It sat on my shelf for years and every six months I’d pull it down and have another go. Then, when I was 17, I finally found it funny, and it was such a relief. If I could find Cold Comfort Farm funny, then maybe I was right to want to be a comedy writer. From Cold Comfort Farm I learned about writing characters in a comic setting. The ending is genuinely beautiful writing that makes you feel warm and happy inside. 1．What do the three books have in common? A．They all have had a huge influence on the writer. B．They all appealed to the writer while he was a kid. C．They all bear some resemblance to the writer’s latest novel. D．They all deal with a murder case with a humorous touch. 2．What does the writer learn from Aunts Aren’t Gentlemen? A．How to create perfect sentences in a story. B．How to give a story an unexpected ending. C．How to tie up unrelated events in a logical way. D．How to make up a light-hearted murder mystery. 3．What does the writer say about Cold Comfort Farm? A．It has an ending that different people interpret differently. B．It took him quite a long time to find how funny it was. C．It inspired a lot of people to become a comedy writer. D．It is not as interesting as he expected it to be. （2024·上海青浦·一模）My doctor took me for a walk around the farm where she lived. I was physically and emotionally exhausted and discouraged by anxiety and depression. The place was full of life. There were insects, horses, rabbits, and a cat. She told me to focus on my body in the environment. When I was ill, I tended to withdraw into my mind and disconnect from the here and now. So, when I met a horse named Fira, I expected nothing. As I got closer to Fira, she rubbed her nose into my chest, putting a gentle pressure over my heart. Something happened inside me: I felt as if I had reached a wellspring of past hurts, fears and failings. I began to melt emotionally. I patted Fira’s nose and breathed in her smell. I found I didn’t have to concentrate on feeling better; Fira helped me feel loved and safe. I worked with Fira often, learning basic communication and leading methods to work together with her. Initially, I wasn’t sure exactly what one would do with a horse except riding it. But I knew that Fira had touched me in an uncommon way and had made me feel better. She connected with me by responding to my emotional state and reflecting it back to me in an open, affectionate way. In my meetings with Fira, I learned to live in the present, to focus on what was happening this day, in this moment, in this place. I learned to forget the past, with all its hurt. I learned to forget the future, which hasn’t happened yet. With Fira by my side, I saw into a life in which trust comes first, and compassion follows. I found a deep peace in leading her along a path, by using my own power of intention to indicate whether to start, stop, turn left or turn right. I felt an inner quiet and even joy. My work with this horse was part of a journey out of a very dark night in my soul. 1．Why did the writer expect nothing when meeting Fira? A．Because Fira’s reaction led the writer to feel hurt and fearful. B．Because the writer’s mentality kept her from connecting with others. C．Because the writer knew nothing about Fira and didn’t know what to expect. D．Because the animals on the farm distracted the writer from focusing on her body. 2．Which of the following statements about Fira is TRUE? A．Fira was the writer’s pet, living on her farm. B．Fira made the writer feel better by giving her rides. C．Fira got the writer to concentrate on her hurt feelings. D．Fira responded affectionately to the writer’s approach. 3．In the last paragraph, the writer shares her experience with Fira to imply that _______. A．animals can follow people’s instructions, thus gaining their trust B．interacting with animals can be a therapy to psychological distress C．meetings with animals can help people step out of their comfort zone D．people can access temporary peace and joy when working with animals 4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．My Doctor’s Farm: A Place of Healing B．Fira: The Horse that Saved My Life C．From Darkness to Light: My Journey with Fira D．Horse Smell: The Magic Power （2024·上海浦东新·一模）I wasn’t prepared to be a climate refugee. Not after relocating my family from drought and wildfire California to the “climate shelter” of Asheville, N.C． But less than two months after we moved into our delightfully wooded, mild-weather community, we were forced to leave. On September 26, the hurricane made its way inland from the Gulfof Mexico through Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Along its path, it tore apart community after community. And then it hit western Appalachia. At 2,000 feet above sea level and 300 miles from the coast, Asheville is a place where people went to get away from destructive hurricanes. That night, I couldn’t sleep. Trees crashed down around my home as emergency alerts sounded on my phone. Power lines went down. Roads flooded. Despite being within a mile of the French Broad River, we were not told to evacuate (撤离) ahead of the storm. In the morning, after it seemed the worst had passed, a large pine tree crashed onto the roof directly above my young son’s bedroom while he was playing with LEGOs. He was thankfully unharmed, but it drove home the severity of what was happening around us. My young daughter held me tightly saying over and over, “I’m scared.” It was hard to get information about what was going on across Asheville. Within hours, we lost power, Internet and even cell service. A neighbor told me we could get information on the radio, so I sat in my car to listen to the local radio station’s updates. That’s how I learned that the water wasn’t safe to drink. The treatment plant was under eight feet of water and the distribution pipes had washed away. When we heard it would take weeks or longer to restore basic services, I made plans for my family to leave town. We were lucky — we lived near the one highway that was open, and had a full tank of gas and a place to go. So on Sunday we left Asheville to stay with family on the Outer Banks. 1．The author moved to Asheville, N.C． to _______. A．get closer to the Gulf of Mexico B．find a new job in South Carolina C．live near the French Broad River D．flee California’s drought and wildfire 2．What does the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

B．The treatment plant is supposed to be built deep underwater. C．People must depend on neighbors for survival in a disaster. D．Protecting water resources promotes a sense of community. 4．What is the best title of the passage?

But she also started noticing something disturbing: the fashion industry was seriously hurting the environment. As she worked as a designer, she was shocked by the mountains of unsold clothes, fabrics that would hang around for decades, and the harmful dyes (染料) dumping into rivers. It hit her — if she was going to make a real difference, she’d have to roll up her sleeves (袖子) and tackle fashion’s waste problem herself. Every year, millions of tons of clothing are thrown aside, with almost half of it ending up in landfills. And here’s the kicker: most of it barely gets worn before it’s thrown away, thanks to the endless cycle of fast fashion. Park thought, “I can do better than this.” So, she pictured a new kind of store — one that wouldn’t just reduce waste but would also inspire people to make smarter, greener choices. In September 2020, Park launched GreenThread — her sustainable fashion dream came true. The store’s special touch? It sold upcycled clothing and fabric made from waste materials. Customers could bring in their old clothes and trade them for store credit, giving the items a second life. GreenThread’s clothes were a mix of repurposed fabrics and eco-friendly dyes, proving that sustainable fashion can be stylish. Now, GreenThread’s clothes aren’t exactly cheap. A T-shirt might cost $25, while the same one at a regular store could be $15. But here’s the deal: people love the quality, the durability, and the fact that they’ re supporting an eco-friendly brand. It feels good to be part of the solution, right? When the pandemic (疫情) hit, it wasn’t smooth sailing. But Park wasn’t ready to call it quits. She switched to an online model and started offering virtual style consultations. The response was awesome, and GreenThread’s fan base grew as more people realized the benefits of shopping sustainably. Park says the mission of her store goes beyond just selling clothes. “Each piece has its own story,” she smiles. “Customers can see how many lives a fabric has lived. It’s not just fashion; it’s a movement.” 1．________ inspired Linda Park to start her business. A．A desire to promote eco-friendly dyes B．The high demand for recycled clothing C．The waste generated by the fashion industry D．Her background in sustainable design 2．The phrase “the kicker” in paragraph 2 most likely means ________. A．the person kicking the football B．something unexpected and surprising C．the most exciting part of the situation D．the reason why fast fashion is successful 3．Which of the following best describes Park’s attitude towards her business? A．Optimistic and practical. B．Carefree and relaxed. C．Focused and cautious. D．Creative and determined. 4．According to the last paragraph, what do customers appreciate about GreenThread? A．The unique story and mission behind each piece. B．The emotional satisfaction of owning a unique piece. C．The chance to see how many times the fabric has been reused. D．The ability to trace the environmental impact of the material. （24-25高三上·上海金山·阶段练习）I was walking home when a well-dressed man politely stopped me. “Could you tell me which way to Bloor and…” He struggled to get the next word out with a pained look, but I knew better than to finish his sentence for him. “… Bathurst?” he said after several seconds of trying. When I answered, he told me that he didn’t actually need to know. He was practising stuttering (口吃) openly, he explained, hoping to become more confident doing so around strangers. “Are you doing that because it’s National Stuttering Awareness Day?” I asked with excitement, eager to connect with other stutterers. When he asked how I knew that, I said I grew up with a stutter. He nodded, asking hopefully: “So your stutter has magically disappeared?” I paused. I understood why he assumed this — I sounded quite fluent. But even as we spoke, my stutter had influenced my speech, and that’s why I’d misnamed International as National to avoid the tricky front sound that I continue to struggle with. Data shows four percent of all children stutter, while only one percent of them stutter into adulthood-a 75 percent drop. But are the supposed ex-stutters completely free of their stuttering past? Actually, though the severity of my stutter has decreased with age, it has shaped my identity and affected my life tremendously, informing the way that I speak, interact and move around in the world. Some define stutter as a disability because it is as constant and out of control as blindness or other disabilities. There’s no pill, no surgery, no way to get rid of it, no “recovering” from it. But there is recovering from the shame and self-hatred that result from it. Some researchers have begun to argue that treatment for stutter shouldn’t be centered around removing a person’s stutter, but rather on reducing one’s negative thoughts and behaviors surrounding it. As for me, I’d say that my stutter has not “magically disappeared” because I’ve simply found ways to conceal (隐藏) it. But I have a better therapy now-I will grow alongside it, an identity inseparable from the way that I speak. Thinking about this, I decided to tell the man, who was still looking at me hopefully: “______.” 1．The decent man stopped the author because he ______. A．lost his way and asked about the direction B．was very eager to connect with other stutterers C．wanted to be braver when talking to unfamiliar people D．was practising giving speeches fluently in open occasions 2．Why did the author misname the International as National in paragraph 2? A．Because he misremembered the name of this day. B．Because the National version is more familiar to people. C．Because it is quite difficult for him to make the sound “inter”. D．Because as a stutter, he can’t pronounce the word “international”. 3．What might be the author’s answer in the last paragraph? A．Yes. I have got rid of stutter by developing a more positive attitude towards life. B．No. There is no recovering from stutter and I have simply found ways to conceal it. C．Yes. As I grow older, I rarely stutter now and people around me don’t know I stuttered. D．No. I will always live with stutter because it is also apart of me and I gladly accept that. 4．What’s the best title for this passage? A．My stutter, myself B．New definitions for stutter C．Stutter, a life-changing disability D．A special encounter with stutterers （2024·上海虹口·一模）1One afternoon a few months before Tom and I were to be married, Max wandered into the dining room of the house we all shared. I was sorting through a box of old photographs. 2“Who’s that?” he asked. 3“That was my grandfather, the one who died a few months ago.” 4“Hmm. Too bad he had to die.” 5Just as I was about to put the last of the pictures in the box, Max pressed his finger to a face. “And who will this be to me?” 6Beneath his finger I could see the edges of my own face. I was suddenly flooded with a joy which I had no name. This son of the man I loved was becoming my son. We’d have family Christmas cards and school art stuck to the fridge. All these things I’d never allowed myself to want. Now I was becoming a mother. 7I should have known how to say just the right, wise, magical thing. But I didn’t. “I’ll be your second mom,” I said. 8“Oh.” 9“I’m sorry that your first mom died. I liked her.” 10“What should I call you?” he asked. 11My heart pounded, and my stomach turned over. Mama, I wanted to cry. I’ll be your mama and you’ll be my son. I resisted. “You can call me Mom, or Mama. You can also call me Betsy, if you’d rather. Whatever feels okay for you.” 12He stood there a minute. “What’s for dinner?” he asked. 13“Burgers.” 14“Swect,” he said as he walked out of the room. 15At our wedding a few months later, Tom and I said our vows (誓言) to one another. Then Max was invited to stand beside us and I made vows to him. I promised to step into the shoes his mother had been forced to leave behind, to help him remember her, and to be the best mother I could be. 16After the wedding, for the next few days, Max tried out a new title for me. “Can we go bowling?” he’d ask, and then follow the question by mouthing the word mom. Or, “Can we go to the store?” And the mouthed word, mom. Mom was always silent. It seemed he was trying it on, seeing how it felt in his mouth. 17Weeks later as I drove him home from school, Max suddenly said, “I notice I don’t call you Mom.” 18Oof. Who threw that rock at my chest? I breathed to calm my voice. “I noticed that.” 19“When I say Betsy, I mean Mom.” 20“Thanks,” I said. “That’s nice to know.” 21He looked out the window. “Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe safer if you’re just Betsy.” 22I willed tears away, not wanting to overwhelm him. He had enough to carry. “Thanks, Bud. I appreciate you telling me.” 23“Hey, Betsy?” 24“Yeah,” I said, delighted with the new sound of my old name. 25“What’s for dinner?” he asked. 1．When Betty said “I’ll be your second mom,” (paragraph 7), she ______. A．thought her role was significant to Max B．wished Max could let go of the sad memories C．was looking forward to becoming Max’s mother D．suggested that she was legally responsible for Max 2．According to Max, why did he call Betsy “Betsy” instead of Mom? A．He wants to tell Betsy she is his best friend. B．He still feels shy to address Betsy as Mom. C．He doesn’t want to forget his dead mother.

B．Happy to lead a regular family life. C．Relieved to have a simple conversation. D．Annoyed with Max’s constant questioning. 4．Why does the author develop the passage with short dialogues? A．To reveal the tension between Max and Betsy. B．To show that Max is avoiding deep conversations. C．To help express the two speakers’ emotions directly. D．To make the passage shorter and easier to understand. （2025·上海嘉定·一模）It’s strange how a single moment can shift everything you think you know. One winter morning, all it took was a little stubbornness (固执) and a lot of snow for me to learn a lesson I’d remember for years, This is the story of how I wrecked my dad’s car. It was early January, and I was a senior in high school. It was a regular Tuesday morning, and like every other day, I grabbed my jacket, picked up the keys from the counter, and was about to head out when my dad stopped me. “Whoa, there,” he said, glancing at the snow piling up outside. “The roads are covered in snow. You’re taking the bus today.” I argued, pointing out that school was about to start, and I didn’t want to wait for the bus. My dad, known for his stubbornness, wouldn’t give in. After a few heated words, he sighed and handed me the keys. “Fine, but be careful,” he said. I slid into the car, a bit triumphant. The roads looked fine, I thought, barely an inch of snow, I started the car and pulled out of the driveway, feeling a surge of independence. But as I made my way through the neighborhood, the slippery roads tested my confidence. One sharp turn later, and I was in trouble — the car started to skid. I tried to slow down, but it was too late. The car slid right into a snowbank. I spent a long frustrating minute trying to get it out. pressing down on the engine, trying every trick I knew. Eventually, I realized I was going to have to call my dad. When he arrived, his face was a mix of anger and disappointment. We pulled the car out with some help, but the damage was done.

Because that was the day when you chose where you would sit for the entire year. Caroline realized that in some classes this choice would be made for her. The teacher would place students in alphabetical (按字母顺序的) order, meaning she would have to sit in front of Zach Rodgers yet again. Zach was attracted by Caroline, and would distract her from her work by passing notes and telling jokes to impress her. In general, being a Robbins was pretty good, but having to sit in front of Zach was definitely a drawback. In her other classes, though, Caroline would be sure to choose just the right seat. Caroline liked to think of herself as one of the cool kids, but she also did well in school and liked learning. So, Caroline wanted to sit close to the cool kids, but not too close, or she would be more interested in talking than paying attention. She also knew that it was good to be friends with the smart kids, because they could help Caroline with her schoolwork. However, she didn’t want to sit too close to the smart kids. Unfortunately, at Caroline’s school, the smart kids and the cool kids were not the same kids. Caroline had all of this in mind as she walked through the school’s front door on the first day. She knew where her first class was, but she didn’t want to be the first one there. If you were the first one there, you didn’t have any control at all! Other people got to choose how close they sat to you, not the other way around. This simply would not do. So, she took her time walking down the hall, taking a minute to talk to her friend Alma, whom she hadn’t seen for the entire summer. At last, she walked through the door of her first class, and there it was, the perfect seat! Two seats away from Jasmine, the smartest girl in her entire grade, and just in front of Marc, who was very cool and totally cute. There was a new guy to the left, which could be a risk, but how bad could a new guy be? So Caroline started toward the seat, being careful not to rush, when Marc’s best friend Jason sat down in her chair! Sure, there were other seats, but no other perfect ones. Saddened but not discouraged, Caroline sat down in the second-best seat and immediately started planning for lunchtime, when she was determined to get the best seat in the cafeteria. 1．As used in paragraph 1, the word “drawback” most nearly means “_________”.
