专题04 阅读理解（4小题） （一）经典基础题 Passage 1 （23-24八年级下•重庆巴渝学校•期中）Many students have fun with their school life. But many Japanese students are unhappy. They have lots of pressure from their family. Most of Japanese students must study hard at school for their parents and for future. So it’s tired and boring for some students. Japanese students always try their best in school, but sometimes they may fail exams and make their parents lose hope for them. The students may have bigger pressure from both family and the school. So they finally don’t get interested in their schoolwork. In this way, more pressure and problems are waiting for them. That’s really a terrible thing. According to a report, most Japanese parents would like to send their children to different schools on weekends, but it only helps kids to get good grades. They never mind the students’ healthy development. For example, many school students said they don’t know how to get on well with and how to take care of others.

Lion dancing is important to Anthony. “This tradition really lifts me up,” he says. In the past, lion dancing was performed mostly by men. But it is different today. LionDanceMe is a lion dancing group in San Francisco, California. There are boys and girls on its team. They dance together. “Anyone can take up lion dancing. You have to believe that you can do it,” says Ananda Tang-Lee, a 17-year-old girl. Lion dancing will continue to evolve (演变).

The “pay-for-knowledge” has been a popular thing these years. You can find everything you want to know online. ②Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry (产业) developing so quickly? First, it’s because of the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account (号) can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products (产品). Second, people are afraid to miss any information. They hope for more useful and unknown information.

It is a good way to turn information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. ④However, “pay-for-knowledge” also causes a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be a good CEO?” It sounds like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, many buyers buy them just for showing off. ⑤In a word, the best is the one that is right for you most. The “pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth.

Passage 7 （23-24八年级下•重庆凤鸣山中学教育集团校•期中）Chopsticks, or kuaizi in Chinese, are a pair of small sticks of equal length. The two chopsticks can work well together. ① It is believed that the first chopsticks appeared over 5,000 years ago in ancient China.They were used for cooking and serving, but not as eating tools. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks came into normal use for both serving and eating. The earliest evidence (证据) of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze (黄铜) was found at Yinxu in Anyang, Henan, dating back to roughly 1200 B．C． Nowadays, bamboo and wood chopsticks are the most popular ones in Chinese homes. ② Chinese chopsticks are usually about 22~24 centimeters long. They are round on the eating end, which represents (代表) heaven. The other end is usually square, representing earth. This is because the greatest concern between heaven and earth is to keep enough supplies of food. There is an old custom in China. It is believed that chopsticks should be part of a girl’s dowry (嫁妆) since the pronunciation (发音) of kuaizi is similar to that of the words for “soon” and “son” in Chinese. It is still a popular good wish in China for newly married couples to have babies “soon”. According to modern science, the long-term use of chopsticks makes one’s fingers flexible (灵活的). That is good for people’s health. ③ So, among the different kinds of tableware (餐具) today, chopsticks have special power. The culture of using kuaizi has spread to many other Asian countries. In Japan, people celebrate the Chopsticks Day on August 4 every year. ④ As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken easily. Ten pairs of chopsticks, held together, are hard to break.” For thousands of years, Chinese people have favoured chopsticks not only because they are easy to use but also because they represent the great spirit of the Chinese people. 1.

Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again. “My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling. In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence (证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car. “I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety. She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first. There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said. 1. What does the underlined phrase “goes out to” mean in Chinese?

B．The death of a 10-year-old girl. C．The safety of amusement parks. D．The future of amusement parks. Passage 12 （23-24八年级下•重庆巴蜀中学校•期中）①Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Why not try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander? Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming. ②Daydreams allow your mind to run freely and even increase productivity in some situations. Daydreaming develops creativity which is why you have an ah-ha moment. Daydreaming allows you to come up with thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had. ③Researchers from the University of California found relation between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes making participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. It makes them try to think of as many different ways to use an object as they could. ④Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: finish a difficult task, finish an easy task, take a 12-minute break, or skip (跳过) a 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again. ⑤Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that finished the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity. ⑥But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is your “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way. ⑦When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control (控制), it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas. Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander. 1. The writer starts the passage by ______. A．telling a story B．giving examples C．asking questions D．comparing differences 2. According to the passage, the “unusual-use task” makes participants ______. A．find different uses for an object B．finish a very hard task C．do a very simple task D．have a rest every 12 minutes 3. The underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in paragraph 6 means “______” in the passage. A．stop dealing with information from the outside world B．think about a problem without even knowing it C．know clearly what you’re thinking and doing D．think in a subtle way under your own control 4. What’s the best structure (结构) of this passage? A． B． C． D． Passage 13 （23-24八年级下•重庆南岸区四校•期中）Many people complain (抱怨) in their life. Do you ever complain? When you try a new dress on, but only find you are too “big” to put yourself in. Do you complain about your shape of body? Do you tell yourself “If I have time tomorrow, I will go to the gym.” But do you actually take action (采取行动)? Karen always complained about her house. One day I asked why she didn’t look for another house. Karen answered, “I will look for another one when I come back from vacation.” Sam hated his job. However, he loved taking photos, and was taking a two-year course to get a certificate (证书). Every day he complained about his work. I asked him why he didn’t give up his job and start a business of taking photos. His reply was, “When I finish my course, I will start a business.” Here is another example. Harry worked for a company that allowed him to retire (退休) early, but at a reduced pension (削减的养老金). Now Harry became very weak and found it difficult to deal with his work. I was worried about his heavy work and its influence (影响) on his health. “Why don’t you retire, Harry? Do something that you want to do,” I said. “If I were older, I would get my full pension.” “When the next summer comes, maybe I will,” Harry replied. There is an old saying that says, “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew.” A year later, Karen is still living in the house, and she hates it. Sam is still complaining about his job and hasn’t finished his course. Harry is still working and his health is even worse. These people had a lot of stress in their lives that they could have reduced (本该可以减少). But all of them beat themselves by thinking “if or when”. Life is too short for “ifs and whens”. The next time you find yourself thinking “if or when”, remember the saying, “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew”. 1. Karen planned to ________ a year ago. A．look for another house B．go to the gym C．start a business D．give up her job 2. Karen, Sam and Harry fail to reduce their stress in their lives because ________. A．they are in poor health B．they have heavy work C．they have no money D．they think “if or when” 3. What does the old saying “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew” means ________. A．working hard and never give up B．reducing stress in life C．looking at the brighter side of life D．taking action at once 4. We can infer (推断) that the writer’s attitude (态度) towards complaining is ________. A．neutral (中立的) B．critical (批判的) C．we don’t know. D．supportive (支持的) Passage 14 （23-24八年级下•重庆凤鸣山中学教育集团校•期中）① The way we spend our time can be put into three “bottles”. These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle (必要任务瓶), the Voluntary Tasks Bottle (志愿任务瓶) and the Happiness Bottle. ②Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, and paying bills. ③We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things we do for others, we may not enjoy, but we do them anyway. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and washing clothes for family. ④However, we often forget to fill the third bottle—the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks, time flies by, and before we know, it is time for bed. We all have days like that. ⑤This is why each day we have to try to fill our Happiness Bottle. I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I arrive. This week, I had fun joining in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We showed our musical talent and practiced music for charity (慈善). It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my Happiness Bottle was filled to top. ⑥The challenge (挑战) for each of us is to not let the day go by without filling our Happiness Bottle. That takes some planning. Many of us probably need to pencil happiness activities into our schedule (日程表): If we don’t do that, we will have to fill our schedule with those Necessary and Voluntary Tasks. ⑦Think about how your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks using up all your time?

I looked toward the Hispaniola (伊斯帕尼奥拉号船). Silver and one of the crew (全体船员) were leaving the ship. “Ben Gunn’s boat will be hidden behind a rock,” I thought. I looked behind every large rock. At last, I found his boat. It was very small, but it was big enough for me. My plan was to take it out to the Hispaniola and cut her ropes. She would then move toward the shore. It was not easy to make the small boat go where I wanted it to. It took me a long time to get to the Hispaniola. But at last, I could hold the anchor rope (锚索, 锚绳). I began to cut it, but the rope was thick and strong. The wind now became stronger. The Hispaniola began to move through the sea. She nearly pushed my little boat under the water. I was able to get out of her way only just in time. Then I heard shouting. Two drunken men ran out of the cabin (船舱). They knew the ship was moving, but they did not know why. The sea was now rough (汹涌的) because of the strong wind. I could not make my little boat go where I wanted it to. I lay at the bottom of my boat. “Soon this boat will be full of water,” I thought. “Then I shall drown (淹死).” I closed my eyes. I thought of home. I slept through the night in my small boat. It was nothing when I woke. My boat was now half full of water. The wind was still strong. The Hispaniola was moving this way and that way. “No one is steering (驾驶) her,” I thought. “The two crewmen are either drunk or they have drowned.” ▲ Slowly I moved my boat toward the ship. It was very difficult. One moment I was near the ship, the next the sea took me away from her. At last, I was near enough to take hold of the rope. Just then, the wind blew more strongly. Water filled my boat and it went down beneath (在……下面) the waves as I held on to the rope. I climbed the rope on to the Hispaniola. —Adapted from Treasure Island 1.

Ask some people and most of them will say yes. The “pay-for-knowledge” has been a popular thing these years. You can find everything you want to know online. ②Why is “pay-for-knowledge” industry (产业) developing so quickly? First, it’s because of the Internet. With a fast network and a smartphone, anyone who has passed the identity (身份) check can be an online teacher, and anyone with an online account (号) can buy “pay-for-knowledge” products (产品). Second, people are afraid to miss any information. They hope for more useful and unknown information. What’s more, the need to learn new skills also pushes people to learn on such educational podcasts. ③Many facts have shown that the industry of “pay-for-knowledge” is lucrative. It is a good way to turn information into money. It is good for the development of our country and it can help sellers make lots of money. Besides, buyers can enjoy self-growth from it. ④However, “pay-for-knowledge” also causes a few problems. For one thing, the market is full of eye-catching words such as “How to be a good CEO?” It sounds like if you pay for it, you are sure to succeed. For another, many buyers buy them just for showing off. ⑤In a word, the best is the one that is right for you most. The “pay-for-knowledge” may be used as a good start for self-growth.

The two chopsticks can work well together. ① It is believed that the first chopsticks appeared over 5,000 years ago in ancient China.They were used for cooking and serving, but not as eating tools. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that chopsticks came into normal use for both serving and eating. The earliest evidence (证据) of a pair of chopsticks made out of bronze (黄铜) was found at Yinxu in Anyang, Henan, dating back to roughly 1200 B．C． Nowadays, bamboo and wood chopsticks are the most popular ones in Chinese homes. ② Chinese chopsticks are usually about 22~24 centimeters long. They are round on the eating end, which represents (代表) heaven. The other end is usually square, representing earth. This is because the greatest concern between heaven and earth is to keep enough supplies of food. There is an old custom in China. It is believed that chopsticks should be part of a girl’s dowry (嫁妆) since the pronunciation (发音) of kuaizi is similar to that of the words for “soon” and “son” in Chinese. It is still a popular good wish in China for newly married couples to have babies “soon”. According to modern science, the long-term use of chopsticks makes one’s fingers flexible (灵活的). That is good for people’s health. ③ So, among the different kinds of tableware (餐具) today, chopsticks have special power. The culture of using kuaizi has spread to many other Asian countries. In Japan, people celebrate the Chopsticks Day on August 4 every year. ④ As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken easily. Ten pairs of chopsticks, held together, are hard to break.” For thousands of years, Chinese people have favoured chopsticks not only because they are easy to use but also because they represent the great spirit of the Chinese people. 1. What can we know from the second paragraph? A．Chopsticks were used for eating over 5,000 years ago. B．People first used chopsticks for cooking and serving. C．People made chopsticks out of bamboo and wood first. D．Only rich people could use chopsticks in ancient China. 2.

A．Chopsticks represent the unity spirit of the Chinese people. B．Chopsticks are very important to Japanese people, too. C．People can make chopsticks out of different materials. D．Japanese people only use chopsticks on August 4. 4. What’s the best title for the passage? A．A symbol of Chinese culture—chopsticks B．The ways to use chopsticks C．The first use of chopsticks D．The Chinese spirit and chopsticks 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D 4. A 【导语】本文主要介绍了筷子的历史和发展。 1. 细节理解题。根据“It is believed that the first chopsticks appeared over 5,000 years ago in ancient China.

Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again. “My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know,” said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling. In 1995, Rosie’s mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence (证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car. “I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again,” said Barry. She believes Rosie’s death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety. She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first. There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn’t accept that. “My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn’t mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that’s one too many,” she said. 1. What does the underlined phrase “goes out to” mean in Chinese? A．制止 B．同情 C．想念 D．忍受 2. How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5? A．Afraid. B．Angry. C．Hopeful. D．Interested. 3. What can we learn about amusement parks? A．They are building more rides. B．Most of them put safety first. C．They cause a large number of deaths. D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie’s death. 4. What is the text mainly about? A．The story of the Smith family. B．The death of a 10-year-old girl. C．The safety of amusement parks. D．The future of amusement parks. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. C 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，就辛迪在游乐设施上意外亡故这一消息，对游乐园设施安全隐患这一话题进行了讨论，并采访了之前因此意外身亡的罗西的母亲。 1. 词句猜测题。根据原文“As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith’s death...”可知，史密斯家失去了女儿辛迪，可猜测此处“goes out to”指的是“同情”。故选B。 2. 推理判断题。根据原文“I couldn’t believe that such a thing could happen still and again”可知，罗西的死并未给游乐园敲响警钟，加强安全管理，从而再次导致了辛迪的死亡，推断罗西母亲劳拉的感觉是很愤怒的。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据原文“Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides.”可知，游乐园在建更多的游乐设施。故选A。 4. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文是一篇新闻报道，就辛迪在游乐设施上意外亡故这一消息，对游乐园设施安全隐患这一话题进行了讨论，并采访了之前因此意外身亡的罗西的母亲。故选C。 Passage 12 （23-24八年级下•重庆巴蜀中学校•期中）①Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Why not try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander? Yes, you heard that correctly. If you are in need of a new idea, try daydreaming. ②Daydreams allow your mind to run freely and even increase productivity in some situations. Daydreaming develops creativity which is why you have an ah-ha moment. Daydreaming allows you to come up with thoughts and ideas you did not realize you even had. ③Researchers from the University of California found relation between daydreaming and creative problem-solving. Their study includes making participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. It makes them try to think of as many different ways to use an object as they could. ④Then, the participants chose to do one of the following four things before doing the “unusual-use task” again: finish a difficult task, finish an easy task, take a 12-minute break, or skip (跳过) a 12-minute break and move right on to the task exercise again. ⑤Surprisingly, the group that performed best was the one that finished the easy task. Many participants reported that they were daydreaming while performing the easy task. So the researchers believed that this daydreaming might have helped unlock their creativity. ⑥But how could daydreaming help the brain come up with creative ways? The answer is your “unconscious thought”. Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way. ⑦When you daydream, your mind is allowed to think in ways it normally would not. Because it is free of control (控制), it can create completely new and out-of-the-box ideas. Great ideas never come easily, but that does not mean you always have to work hard to get them. Feel free to do what you want and let your mind wander. 1. The writer starts the passage by ______. A．telling a story B．giving examples C．asking questions D．comparing differences 2. According to the passage, the “unusual-use task” makes participants ______. A．find different uses for an object B．finish a very hard task C．do a very simple task D．have a rest every 12 minutes 3. The underlined phrase “unconscious thought” in paragraph 6 means “______” in the passage. A．stop dealing with information from the outside world B．think about a problem without even knowing it C．know clearly what you’re thinking and doing D．think in a subtle way under your own control 4. What’s the best structure (结构) of this passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。说明了白日做梦和创造性地解决问题之间存在联系。 1. 推理判断题。根据“Do you have trouble trying to create the next big idea? Why not try sitting back, relaxing and letting your mind wander?”可知是通过提问开始的文章，故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据“Their study includes making participants (参与者) first do an “unusual-use task”. It makes them try to think of as many different ways to use an object as they could.”可知这会让他们尽可能多地想出不同的方式来使用一个对象。故选A。 3. 词句猜测题。根据“Even when you are not actively working to solve a problem, it is still in the back of your mind. Your brain is still thinking about the problem, but in a much more subtle (不易察觉的) way.”可知即使当你没有积极地解决一个问题时，它仍然在你的脑海中。你的大脑仍然在思考这个问题，但是以不易察觉的方式。故选B。 4. 篇章结构题。第一二段引出主题；第三四五介绍研究内容；第六七段介绍做白日梦的原因。故选B。 Passage 13 （23-24八年级下•重庆南岸区四校•期中）Many people complain (抱怨) in their life. Do you ever complain? When you try a new dress on, but only find you are too “big” to put yourself in. Do you complain about your shape of body? Do you tell yourself “If I have time tomorrow, I will go to the gym.” But do you actually take action (采取行动)? Karen always complained about her house. One day I asked why she didn’t look for another house. Karen answered, “I will look for another one when I come back from vacation.” Sam hated his job. However, he loved taking photos, and was taking a two-year course to get a certificate (证书). Every day he complained about his work. I asked him why he didn’t give up his job and start a business of taking photos. His reply was, “When I finish my course, I will start a business.” Here is another example. Harry worked for a company that allowed him to retire (退休) early, but at a reduced pension (削减的养老金). Now Harry became very weak and found it difficult to deal with his work. I was worried about his heavy work and its influence (影响) on his health. “Why don’t you retire, Harry? Do something that you want to do,” I said. “If I were older, I would get my full pension.” “When the next summer comes, maybe I will,” Harry replied. There is an old saying that says, “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew.” A year later, Karen is still living in the house, and she hates it. Sam is still complaining about his job and hasn’t finished his course. Harry is still working and his health is even worse. These people had a lot of stress in their lives that they could have reduced (本该可以减少). But all of them beat themselves by thinking “if or when”. Life is too short for “ifs and whens”. The next time you find yourself thinking “if or when”, remember the saying, “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew”. 1. Karen planned to ________ a year ago. A．look for another house B．go to the gym C．start a business D．give up her job 2. Karen, Sam and Harry fail to reduce their stress in their lives because ________. A．they are in poor health B．they have heavy work C．they have no money D．they think “if or when” 3. What does the old saying “If and When were planted, and Nothing grew” means ________. A．working hard and never give up B．reducing stress in life C．looking at the brighter side of life D．taking action at once 4. We can infer (推断) that the writer’s attitude (态度) towards complaining is ________. A．neutral (中立的) B．critical (批判的) C．we don’t know. D．supportive (支持的) 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. D 4. B 【导语】本文主要讲述了很多人在生活中总在抱怨，文中列举了卡伦、萨姆和哈利三个人的例子，这三个人总在抱怨，但是都没有采取行动，最后什么事情都没发生变化，最后总结指出生命短暂，不能总是在抱怨中度过，要马上行动起来。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Karen always complained about her house…I will look for another one when I come back from vacation”可知，卡伦一年前计划寻找另一个房子，故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据文中“These people had a lot of stress in their lives that they could have reduced (本该可以减少). But all of them beat themselves by thinking ‘if or when’.”可知，Karen、Sam和Harry没能减轻他们生活中的压力是他们总是思考“如果或何时”，故选D。 3. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“These people had a lot of stress in their lives that they could have reduced”可知，这些人生活中有很多压力，这些压力本该可以减少的，也就是说如果行动起来，就可以减轻这些压力，所以“If and When were planted, and Nothing grew”是指如果总在想做什么或者什么时间做，那就什么都做不成，要马上行动起来，故选D。 4. 推理判断题。根据“Life is too short for ‘ifs and whens’. The next time you find yourself thinking ‘if or when’, remember the saying, ‘If and When were planted, and Nothing grew’.”可知，作者对抱怨的态度是批判性的，故选B。 Passage 14 （23-24八年级下•重庆凤鸣山中学教育集团校•期中）① The way we spend our time can be put into three “bottles”. These are the Necessary Tasks Bottle (必要任务瓶), the Voluntary Tasks Bottle (志愿任务瓶) and the Happiness Bottle. ②Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, and paying bills. ③We then fill another bottle with Voluntary Tasks. These are things we do for others, we may not enjoy, but we do them anyway. This bottle gets filled with tasks like taking children to activities, cooking family meals, and washing clothes for family. ④However, we often forget to fill the third bottle—the Happiness Bottle. This is the bottle we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your Happiness Bottle sometimes empty at the end of the day? Between doing all the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks, time flies by, and before we know, it is time for bed. We all have days like that. ⑤This is why each day we have to try to fill our Happiness Bottle. I fill mine by going to the dancing class. And I always leave classes more happily than when I arrive. This week, I had fun joining in a guitar practice in my neighborhood. We showed our musical talent and practiced music for charity (慈善). It was a time of fun, friendship and music-making. At the end of the evening, my Happiness Bottle was filled to top. ⑥The challenge (挑战) for each of us is to not let the day go by without filling our Happiness Bottle. That takes some planning. Many of us probably need to pencil happiness activities into our schedule (日程表): If we don’t do that, we will have to fill our schedule with those Necessary and Voluntary Tasks. ⑦Think about how your time is being spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the Necessary and Voluntary Tasks using up all your time? At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our Happiness Bottle is filled. 1. Which activity is a Necessary Task according to the passage? A．Having fun with your good friend. B．Preparing a big dinner for your family. C．Going to work although it is raining heavily. D．Sending your son to a piano lesson on Sunday. 2. What can we learn from the passage? A．People often fill the Happiness Bottle at bedtime. B．People are happy to fill the Voluntary Tasks Bottle each day. C．It is OK if we don’t fill the Necessary Tasks or Voluntary Tasks Bottle. D．It is necessary for people to plan happiness activities on the daily plan. 3. What’s the writer’s main purpose in writing the passage? A．To describe what the Happiness Bottle is like. B．To introduce ways to fill the Happiness Bottle. C．To share the experience of filling the Happiness Bottle. D．To tell people to spend time filling the Happiness Bottle. 4. The structure of the passage is ________. A． B． C． D． 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 4. C 【导语】本文主要介绍了我们生活中的三个“瓶子”。它们是必要的任务瓶、自愿任务瓶和幸福瓶。我们应该试图找到方法来实现如何填补三瓶之间的平衡。在一天结束的时候，希望我们已经尽了我们所能来确保我们的幸福瓶装满了。 1. 推理判断题。根据第二段“Every day, we spend time filling the Necessary Tasks Bottle with useful things, like making money, doing housework, and paying bills.”可知每一天，我们花时间做有用的事情来填满必要的任务瓶，如赚钱，做家务，买食物和付账单。结合选项可知C选项“虽然雨下得很大，但还是要去上班。”属于一个必要的任务。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据“Many of us probably need to pencil happiness activities into our schedule”可知人们要按计划安排自己的幸福活动。故选D。 3. 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了我们生活中的三个“瓶子”，我们应该试图找到方法来实现如何填补三瓶之间的平衡，在一天结束的时候，希望我们已经尽了我们所能来确保我们的幸福瓶装满了，故推知作者写这篇文章的主要目的是告诉人们要花时间填满幸福的瓶子。故选D。 4. 篇章结构题。第一段总述了生活的三个“瓶子”指的是什么；第二段、三段、四段分别介绍了三个“瓶子”的具体内涵；第五段、第六段与第四段是并列关系，继续介绍了要填满幸福瓶的原因及面临的挑战；第七段进行总结。选项C符合文章结构。故选C。 Passage 15 （23-24八年级下•重庆南岸区四校•期中）The day was hot. The stockade (栅栏) was even hotter. Everyone was sleepy. I moved slowly and quietly through the forest to the shore (海岸). I looked toward the Hispaniola (伊斯帕尼奥拉号船). Silver and one of the crew (全体船员) were leaving the ship. “Ben Gunn’s boat will be hidden behind a rock,” I thought. I looked behind every large rock. At last, I found his boat. It was very small, but it was big enough for me. My plan was to take it out to the Hispaniola and cut her ropes. She would then move toward the shore. It was not easy to make the small boat go where I wanted it to. It took me a long time to get to the Hispaniola. But at last, I could hold the anchor rope (锚索, 锚绳). I began to cut it, but the rope was thick and strong. The wind now became stronger. The Hispaniola began to move through the sea. She nearly pushed my little boat under the water. I was able to get out of her way only just in time. Then I heard shouting. Two drunken men ran out of the cabin (船舱). They knew the ship was moving, but they did not know why. The sea was now rough (汹涌的) because of the strong wind. I could not make my little boat go where I wanted it to. I lay at the bottom of my boat. “Soon this boat will be full of water,” I thought. “Then I shall drown (淹死).” I closed my eyes. I thought of home. I slept through the night in my small boat. It was nothing when I woke. My boat was now half full of water. The wind was still strong. The Hispaniola was moving this way and that way. “No one is steering (驾驶) her,” I thought. “The two crewmen are either drunk or they have drowned.” ▲ Slowly I moved my boat toward the ship. It was very difficult. One moment I was near the ship, the next the sea took me away from her. At last, I was near enough to take hold of the rope. Just then, the wind blew more strongly. Water filled my boat and it went down beneath (在……下面) the waves as I held on to the rope. I climbed the rope on to the Hispaniola. —Adapted from Treasure Island 1. The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to (代指) ________ A．Ben Gunn B．the boat C．Hispaniola D．Silver 2. Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. I slept in my small boat for the whole night. b. I managed (设法努力做到) to climb to the Hispaniola. c. I moved from stockade to the shore quietly. d. I got to the Hispaniola and cut the rope. e. I found the boat and moved toward Hispaniola. A．c-e-d-a-b B．c-e-b-a-d C．e-c-d-a-b D．e-c-b-a-d 3. Which can be put in the ▲ ? A．At this moment, the two crewmen saw me. “Run!” I said to myself. B．I knew what I had to do. I had to get on board the ship and save her. C．I know it’s the perfect time for me to get to the other side of the sea. D．On board the ship, someone was singing. It was a sad sailor’s song. 4. What happened according to the passage? A．The boat went down. B．The Hispaniola went down. C．The two crewmen were saved. D．The two crewmen drowned. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. B 4. A 【导语】本文节选自著名小说《金银岛》。讲述了作者在波涛汹涌的海上，驾驶小船，接近伊斯帕尼奥拉号，并且最终在小船沉没的关键时刻，攀着缆绳到大船的惊险故事。 1. 词义猜测题。根据“My plan was to take it out to the Hispaniola and cut her ropes. She would then move toward the shore.”可知我的计划是乘着小船去伊斯帕尼奥拉号，并且切断她的缆绳。然后她会向海岸移动。因此划线词“she”指代的是Hispaniola伊斯帕尼奥拉号。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第一段I moved slowly and quietly through the forest to the shore.“我慢慢地穿过森林到达岸边”；第三段I found his boat.“我找到了他的船”；第四段But at last, I could hold the anchor rope. I began to cut it“最后，我抓住了缆绳，我开始割它”；第九段I slept through the night in my small boat.“我在小船上睡了一夜”；和最后一段I climbed the rope on to the Hispaniola.“我攀着缆绳上了伊斯帕尼奥拉号”，可知故事发生的顺序为c-e-d-a-b。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据设空段的上一段“No one is steering her”以及最后一段描述作者艰险的爬到伊斯帕尼奥拉号上，可知在没有人驾驶这艘船的情况下，这艘船会搁浅甚至沉没。因此选项B“我知道我必须做什么。我必须登上伊斯帕尼奥拉号并且救下她”符合文意。故选B。 4. 推理判断题。根据“Water filled my boat. She sank beneath me as I held on to the rope”可知船里都是水，所以小船可能会下沉。故选A 21 / 24 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
