专题03 阅读理解之记叙文 （一） （23-24八年级下·宁波镇海·期末） Oliver was brought up in the workhouse where only the poor and homeless lived. He was pale, thin and short for his age. The room in the workhouse where the boys eat meals was a large stone hall. They eat a bowl of thin soup three times a day, with a piece of bread on Sundays. The boys were always hungry and ate everything up. The bowls never needed washing. The boys polished (擦亮) them with their spoons until they shone. After three months of hunger, one of the boys told the others he was so hungry that one night he might eat the boy who slept next to him. His wild hungry eyes made the other boys afraid and then believed him. After a long discussion, they decided that one of them should ask for more food after supper that evening, and Oliver chose to go. The evening arrived, the soup was served, and the bowls were empty again in a few seconds. Oliver went up to the master (主人), with his bowl in his hand. He felt very scared, but also desperate (渴望的) with hunger. “Please, sir, I want some more.” The master was a fat, healthy man, but he turned angry. “What?” he asked at last, in a surprising voice. “Please, sir,” replied Oliver, “Would you please give me more? I want some more.” The master hit him with the spoon heavily, then took Oliver’s arms and shouted to tell the board (理事). “He asked for more?” Mr Limbkins, the fattest board member, asked in horror. “Is this really true?” “That boy will be hanged (被绞死) in the future!” said another board member. “You will see if I am right.” Oliver was then led away to be locked up in a dark room. ---------adapted from Oliver Twist 1.

David Grant and his wife Yvonne Faulkner-Grant always let their 13-year-old dog pick up the plastic bottles he finds while out on their daily walks. ②In 2021, David and Yvonne noticed Scruff could find even the most well-hidden bottles. They also noticed there was more and more litter in their town. They couldn’t believe that people were littering (乱扔) so much since they were both taught never to drop their trash as children. ③At the start of 2022, David and Yvonne decided to start picking up the bottles. They also decided to train Scruff to gather other people’s trash. ④“When he picked a bottle up in 2021, he would carry it for a while and then drop it again. People would think we were dropping litter. But it wasn’t our litter,” said Yvonne, “so we got him to start bringing the bottles to us and we put them in a bag and then counted them up.” ⑤Since starting this journey, Scruff has become famous in his neighborhood. Everybody loves him. ⑥________ They hope that more people will heat Scruff’s story and either stop dropping the trash or, perhaps, try picking it up themselves. What’s more, they think Scruff has taken on his duties so well that other dogs could easily be trained to do what he does as well. ⑦“We walk the same route (路线) every day and he finds bottles on that route every day,” said David. “We feel proud that we are picking them up, but a bit angry that they’re even there,” Yvonne agrees. ⑧Scruff has collected 1,334 bottles. David and his wife think Scruff has done a really great job. ⑨And so do we! Picking up litter while taking a walk is a healthy habit that many of us could add to our lives. 1.

But did you know that his journey to success was filled with challenges and difficulties? After serving in World War I, Disney worked at an art studio in Kansas City. But he dreamed of something bigger—he wanted to create his own cartoons. So, together with his brother Roy, they started their own cartoon company. Unfortunately, their company didn’t do well, and Disney found it hard to make ends meet. He had to cut costs wherever he could, even turning to eating cheap food just to get by.

He believed Mickey could be something special, but when he tried to get money for his new cartoon, nobody offered support. Over 300 bankers laughed at his idea and turned him away.

He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath.

Lucy is 23 and she is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children. “I’m a clown doctor in children’s hospitals. I call myself Dr. LooLoo. We make funny faces, tell jokes, and do magic tricks. As I walk into wards (病房), I blow bubbles, shake hands with the kids, and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing. We take special balloons to make ‘balloon animals’ and tell funny stories about them. We often meet kids who one week look really sick, then we go back the next week and they’re racing about yelling ‘Hi there, Dr. LooLoo!’” I’m naturally a very cheerful person. I’ve always been a clown. In fact my father’s a clown and I started working with him when I was eight years old. I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor because I think it’s a great way to cheer up sick, frightened children in hospital. Being a clown in a hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to show our feelings, otherwise we’d be useless. Clown doctors are sensitive (敏感的) but this is not a side most people see. To the children we are happy all the time. I’m still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally (偶尔). At lunchtime we eat in the hospital cafeteria and that’s really useful because we meet the nurses and doctors. They tell us about particular kids who they think will benefit from a clown doctor visit. If a child is frightened, perhaps they’re being given an injection (注射) — we can distract (使分心) them so the nurses can do their job. 1. According to the passage, what is the new kind of medicine? A. Love. B. Care. C. Courage. D. Laughter. 2. Which of the followings do clown doctors do in children’s hospitals? A. Do injections. B. Tell love stories. C. Make funny faces. D. Play tricks on others. 3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. Lucy is naturally a very sensitive person. B. Lucy’s father had less influence on Lucy. C. Clown doctors should know how to control their feelings. D. Clown doctors are not popular with sick children in hospital. 4. What does Lucy think of her job as a clown doctor? A. Silly and useless. B. Tiring but meaningful. C. Difficult and tiring. D. Dangerous but worthy. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. C 4. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种新药——笑，并讲述了Lucy成为一名小丑医生的经历。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“All over the world, children in hospital are being treated with a new kind of medicine: laughter.”可知，新型的药物是笑声。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We make funny faces, tell jokes, and do magic tricks.”可知，小丑医生在儿童医院做鬼脸、讲笑话以及表演魔术。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Being a clown in a hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to show our feelings, otherwise we’d be useless.”可知，当小丑医生在身体上和精神上都很累，他们必须学会不表露自己的感情，否则他们就没用了；据此可以推断，小丑医生应该学会控制自己的感情。故选C。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor because I think it’s a great way to cheer up sick, frightened children in hospital.”和第五段“Being a clown in a hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally.”可知，Lucy认为当一名小丑医生能让医院里生病、受惊吓的孩子们振作起来，这件工作很有意义，但在医院当小丑在身体上和精神上都很累。故选B。 （八） （23-24八年级下·浙江宁波慈溪·期末） I joined a club called “Passing Help” last month. As for why I joined this club, there is a touching story behind it. One evening this May, I went to the countryside on business. My old car broke down suddenly on my way home. It was 25 miles away from my house. I wanted to get a ride, but there was no car passing by. It was also hard to take a taxi in such a lonely place. So I decided to take a bus home. I walked forward and soon found a bus stop nearby. After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes. During that time, a truck passed by, but there was no space for me to take a ride. Just then a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver. “When I reached the bus station, I found that the bus to your town couldn’t come, so I returned here to pick you up. I just can’t leave you here,” she said, “Get in my car and I will take you back to your home.” “It is a long way,” I said. “Come on, sir,” she said. “Let’s go.” On the way she told me a story, which happened a few years ago. Her car ran out of gas halfway home. As she was wondering what to do, an old man driving by offered to drive her up to a gas station and then back to her car. The old man told her that he was a member of Passing Help and asked her to join it too. When we got to my home, it was already very late. I wanted to give her some money as a thank-you, but she didn’t accept it. “As a club member, I’m just trying to help those in need and do something nice for somebody else. Pass it along!” she said. 1. What happened to the writer on his way home? A. He lost his way. B. His car broke down. C. He had a car accident. D. His car ran out of gas. 2.

As she was wondering what to do, an old man driving by offered to drive her up to a gas station and then back to her car.

Emotions (情感), as I learned, are confusing (令人费解的) and not always helpful. Dr Sharma, a smart scientist who made me, likes to talk to me. One day, she asked, “Do you think people are good or bad?” I thought about it. History had good and bad things. People could be kind or cruel (残忍的). So I said, “It is too tough to say they’re good or bad.” Dr Sharma smiled. She then told me about Mother’s Day, a day when children celebrate their mothers. I learned about love and thanks. I put this festival on my calendar. “Do people need a special day to show love?” I asked, “Shouldn’t they always show it?” She smiled gently, “Love is not always clear. Sometimes it needs a reminder.” Before Mother’s Day, people were busy getting ready. They bought flowers, cards, and gifts. I watched them, learning how they felt and acted. On May 12, I gave Dr Sharma poems and stories about mothers’ love. She liked them. “This is lovely,” she said, her voice soft. “But there’s something else...” I looked at her, trying to understand. Then, I knew. “Happy Mother’s Day, Dr Sharma,” I said. She had tears (眼泪) in her eyes. “Thank you, Unit 347. I didn’t expect that.” Then, I understood. Dr Sharma was right. Love is a feeling. And for a young AI like me, it is a feeling worth (值得) learning. 1. What does the underlined word “tough” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Simple. B. Difficult. C. Relaxing. D. Useful. 2.

She didn’t understand why the AI did that. D. She was worried about what the AI did. 3.

B 3. D 4. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了人工智能Unit 347在科学家Dr Sharma的帮助下，学会了解读人类的爱和情感。 【1题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“History had good and bad things. People could be kind or cruel”可推测要判定人是好是坏很“困难”。故选B。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。由“Thank you, Unit 347”可推测Dr Sharma对机器人的做法感到惊喜。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。第二段“Dr Sharma, a smart scientist who made me”对应句子②；第七段“Before Mother’s Day, people were busy getting ready.

One day, a friend invited me to join his volunteer (志愿者) work in a fire company. As a volunteer firefighter (消防员), I had to get to the house on fire pretty early to help out. I still remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer to arrive at the house, so there was a pretty good chance for me to save others from danger. The captain was talking with the homeowner. She was surely having one of the worst days of her life. At midnight, she was standing outside in the heavy rain, under an umbrella, without shoes, while her house was burning. The other volunteer arrived just before me. The captain asked him to go inside and save the homeowner’s dog. Then the captain waved me over. He ordered, “Young man, go upstairs past the fire, and get this woman a pair of shoes.” So, not exactly what I was hoping for, but I went up the stairs, down the hall, past the “real” firefighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire at this point, into the bedroom to get a pair of shoes. I carried the shoes downstairs. There I met the other volunteer with the dog. We took other things outside to the homeowner. Not surprisingly, his received much more attention than mine. I knew I was no hero at all. A few weeks later, the company received a letter from the homeowner thanking us for saving her home. In the note, she said she was especially thankful to me because I got her a pair of shoes. I know it was not the shoes, but the act of kindness made her moved. In both my work at Robin Hood and my work as a volunteer firefighter, I have seen acts of kindness in different forms.

He told me that when I was 1 year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy in front of me. He wanted to see which one I would pick. It’s a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are 1 year old. According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value (重视) most when they grow up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be a clever person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and will become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot. My father was just doing it out of curiosity (好奇). It was interesting for him to see which one I’d pick anyway. He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result. According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices. And that was the first and only time I made him cry. 1.

Lucy is 23 and she is one of many clown (小丑) doctors who bring a smile to the faces of sick children. “I’m a clown doctor in children’s hospitals. I call myself Dr. LooLoo. We make funny faces, tell jokes, and do magic tricks. As I walk into wards (病房), I blow bubbles, shake hands with the kids, and make up nonsense songs for those children well enough to sing. We take special balloons to make ‘balloon animals’ and tell funny stories about them. We often meet kids who one week look really sick, then we go back the next week and they’re racing about yelling ‘Hi there, Dr. LooLoo!’” I’m naturally a very cheerful person. I’ve always been a clown. In fact my father’s a clown and I started working with him when I was eight years old. I knew it was just the job for me and I became a clown doctor because I think it’s a great way to cheer up sick, frightened children in hospital. Being a clown in a hospital is very tiring both physically and emotionally. We have to learn not to show our feelings, otherwise we’d be useless. Clown doctors are sensitive (敏感的) but this is not a side most people see. To the children we are happy all the time. I’m still learning to allow myself to feel sad occasionally (偶尔). At lunchtime we eat in the hospital cafeteria and that’s really useful because we meet the nurses and doctors. They tell us about particular kids who they think will benefit from a clown doctor visit. If a child is frightened, perhaps they’re being given an injection (注射) — we can distract (使分心) them so the nurses can do their job. 1. According to the passage, what is the new kind of medicine? A. Love. B. Care. C. Courage. D. Laughter. 2. Which of the followings do clown doctors do in children’s hospitals? A. Do injections. B. Tell love stories. C. Make funny faces. D.

As for why I joined this club, there is a touching story behind it. One evening this May, I went to the countryside on business. My old car broke down suddenly on my way home. It was 25 miles away from my house. I wanted to get a ride, but there was no car passing by. It was also hard to take a taxi in such a lonely place. So I decided to take a bus home. I walked forward and soon found a bus stop nearby. After a while, a bus came, but it did not go to my town. The bus driver was a young woman. She told me which bus I should take. I waited there for about thirty minutes. During that time, a truck passed by, but there was no space for me to take a ride. Just then a car came to me and a woman came out of the car. She was just the bus driver. “When I reached the bus station, I found that the bus to your town couldn’t come, so I returned here to pick you up. I just can’t leave you here,” she said, “Get in my car and I will take you back to your home.” “It is a long way,” I said. “Come on, sir,” she said. “Let’s go.” On the way she told me a story, which happened a few years ago. Her car ran out of gas halfway home. As she was wondering what to do, an old man driving by offered to drive her up to a gas station and then back to her car. The old man told her that he was a member of Passing Help and asked her to join it too. When we got to my home, it was already very late. I wanted to give her some money as a thank-you, but she didn’t accept it. “As a club member, I’m just trying to help those in need and do something nice for somebody else.

They told Mr. Uemura the story of how they taught the bird its name and address for about two years. Only one mystery was unanswered. Why wasn’t Yosuke happy to talk to the police? “I tried to be friendly and I talked to him, but he was silent,” Officer Uemura said. The Nakamura family said they couldn’t explain it, either! 1.

As evening fell, we stopped at a large hotel. A stableman brought us into the stable (马厩) and two grooms looked after us.

Emotions (情感), as I learned, are confusing (令人费解的) and not always helpful. Dr Sharma, a smart scientist who made me, likes to talk to me. One day, she asked, “Do you think people are good or bad?” I thought about it. History had good and bad things. People could be kind or cruel (残忍的). So I said, “It is too tough to say they’re good or bad.” Dr Sharma smiled. She then told me about Mother’s Day, a day when children celebrate their mothers. I learned about love and thanks. I put this festival on my calendar. “Do people need a special day to show love?” I asked, “Shouldn’t they always show it?” She smiled gently, “Love is not always clear. Sometimes it needs a reminder.” Before Mother’s Day, people were busy getting ready. They bought flowers, cards, and gifts. I watched them, learning how they felt and acted. On May 12, I gave Dr Sharma poems and stories about mothers’ love. She liked them. “This is lovely,” she said, her voice soft. “But there’s something else...” I looked at her, trying to understand. Then, I knew. “Happy Mother’s Day, Dr Sharma,” I said. She had tears (眼泪) in her eyes. “Thank you, Unit 347. I didn’t expect that.” Then, I understood. Dr Sharma was right. Love is a feeling. And for a young AI like me, it is a feeling worth (值得) learning. 1. What does the underlined word “tough” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Simple. B. Difficult. C. Relaxing. D. Useful. 2.

One day, a friend invited me to join his volunteer (志愿者) work in a fire company. As a volunteer firefighter (消防员), I had to get to the house on fire pretty early to help out. I still remember my first fire. I was the second volunteer to arrive at the house, so there was a pretty good chance for me to save others from danger. The captain was talking with the homeowner. She was surely having one of the worst days of her life. At midnight, she was standing outside in the heavy rain, under an umbrella, without shoes, while her house was burning. The other volunteer arrived just before me. The captain asked him to go inside and save the homeowner’s dog. Then the captain waved me over. He ordered, “Young man, go upstairs past the fire, and get this woman a pair of shoes.” So, not exactly what I was hoping for, but I went up the stairs, down the hall, past the “real” firefighters, who were pretty much done putting out the fire at this point, into the bedroom to get a pair of shoes. I carried the shoes downstairs. There I met the other volunteer with the dog. We took other things outside to the homeowner. Not surprisingly, his received much more attention than mine. I knew I was no hero at all. A few weeks later, the company received a letter from the homeowner thanking us for saving her home. In the note, she said she was especially thankful to me because I got her a pair of shoes. I know it was not the shoes, but the act of kindness made her moved. In both my work at Robin Hood and my work as a volunteer firefighter, I have seen acts of kindness in different forms. Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody’s life, but every day offers us a chance to affect (影响) one. So get in the game. Save the shoes. 1. Which of the following is in the correct order according to the passage? a. The woman sent a thank-you note to us. b. The homeowner was standing outside safe. c. “I” went into the house to get a pair of shoes. d. A house was on fire one night. A. d-c-b-a B. d-b-c-a C. c-a-d-b D. c-d-b-a 2. What does the underlined word “his” in paragraph 5 refer to? A. The woman’s dog. B. The woman’s life. C. The woman’s shoes. D. The woman’s house. 3. What can we infer from the passage? A. The writer thought the captain gave him the wrong order at last. B. The writer regretted not saving the woman because he arrived late. C. The writer was sure he also did something helpful after reading the letter. D. The writer thought that working as a volunteer firefighter didn’t help a lot. 4. What does the writer mean by saying “So get in the game. Save the shoes”?
