2025年暑假新高一英语衔接学习系列 专题18 阅读理解之记叙文 在高中英语阅读理解中,记叙文是常见的文体之一。掌握记叙文的文体类型、题型设置及相应的解答策略,对于提高学生的阅读理解能力至关重要。下面将从这三个方面进行详细分析,并结合具体的英语阅读例子展开探讨。 一、文体类型 记叙文是以叙述为主要表达方式,通过生动的情节铺陈与细节刻画,着重展现人物经历变迁或事物发展轨迹的文学体裁。在高中英语阅读理解语境下,记叙文可细分为叙事类与记人类两大核心类型:前者通常围绕单一事件或系列事件展开,通过时间轴串联起因、经过与结果,常见主题涵盖成长故事、生活奇遇、社会热点事件等;后者则以人物为中心,通过多维度描写人物性格、行为、心理及人际关系,呈现人物的生平事迹、精神品质或人生哲理。这两类文本往往渗透文化背景知识,暗含作者价值取向,成为考查学生语言理解与逻辑分析能力的重要载体。 (一)叙事类记叙文 叙事类记叙文以事件为中心,严格遵循 "开端 — 发展 — 高潮 — 结局" 的经典叙事结构,通过时间轴串联起完整的事件链条。这类文本通常包含六大核心要素:时间(如具体日期、季节特征)、地点(如标志性建筑、地理环境)、人物(主要角色与次要角色的互动关系)、起因(触发事件的关键节点)、经过(矛盾冲突的逐步升级)和结果(事件的最终走向)。在实际阅读中,常见的叙事主题包括惊心动魄的冒险故事 —— 例如主人公穿越原始丛林的生存挑战;充满回忆色彩的难忘旅行 —— 如毕业季与好友的边疆骑行之旅;以及展现竞技精神的比赛经历 —— 像校际辩论赛中反败为胜的精彩过程等。通过细腻的细节描写和生动的场景还原,叙事类记叙文往往能让读者产生身临其境的阅读体验。 【阅读语段】 In the annual school sports meeting, the 4x100-meter relay race was always the most exciting event. This year, our class had high hopes for winning the championship. The first runner, Tom, got off to a great start, maintaining a slight lead over the other teams. However, when it came to the second baton exchange, there was a small mistake. The second runner, Sarah, fumbled the baton for a moment, which caused us to fall behind several teams. The atmosphere in the stadium became tense, and our classmates could hardly bear to watch. But the third runner, David, didn't lose heart. He ran with all his might, gradually closing the gap. Finally, it was the turn of the last runner, Lily. She was known for her speed and determination. As soon as she received the baton, she dashed forward like a lightning bolt. The crowd cheered loudly as she overtook one team after another. In the end, she crossed the finish line first, and our class won the championship amid wild applause. 【语段分析】 这篇叙事类记叙文以扣人心弦的笔触,生动描绘了一年一度的学校运动会 4x100 米接力赛。故事以清晨洒满阳光的校园体育场为舞台,随着发令枪响,Tom、Sarah、David、Lily 等运动员如离弦之箭冲出起跑线。前两棒选手配合默契,暂时保持领先优势。然而,第三棒交接时,意外突然发生 —— 接力棒在两人手中滑落,这一瞬间的失误致使队伍瞬间从领先位置跌落至最后一名。 赛场上的气氛瞬间凝固,观众席上的惊呼声此起彼伏,队员们也因这一失误慌了神。但面对困境,他们并未气馁,尤其是最后一棒的 Lily,眼神中透露出坚定的信念。她迅速调整状态,接过接力棒后,如猎豹般在跑道上飞驰,凭借顽强的毅力和出色的爆发力,不断超越前方选手。随着 Lily 冲过终点线,全场爆发出震耳欲聋的欢呼声,这支在逆境中奋起直追的队伍,最终实现了从落后到夺冠的惊人逆转。 文中不仅清晰交代了时间(annual school sports meeting)、地点(stadium)、人物(Tom、Sarah、David、Lily 等),还通过细腻的描写手法,生动刻画了事件的起因、经过和结果。作者巧妙运用 "紧握接力棒"" 奋力摆动双臂 ""咬紧牙关" 等动作描写,配合 "赛场一片寂静"" 欢呼声此起彼伏 " 等氛围渲染,让读者仿佛身临其境,深切感受到比赛过程的紧张与激烈,以及运动员们永不言弃的精神。 (二)记人类记叙文 记人类记叙文以人物为中心,通过细腻入微的外貌刻画、性格塑造、人生经历铺陈与典型事迹叙述,立体展现人物的独特特点与精神品质。在叙事结构上,常围绕人物一个或多个具有代表性的核心事件展开,这些事件或是改变人物命运的转折点,或是彰显其精神品格的高光时刻。例如,通过描写著名科学家在实验室无数个日夜的钻研,以及攻克重大科研难题的过程,展现其严谨治学与勇于探索的科学精神;或是讲述伟大运动员在赛场上克服伤病、突破极限,最终站上领奖台的经历,凸显其坚韧不拔与追求卓越的体育精神;亦或是聚焦一位平凡母亲在生活中默默付出、含辛茹苦养育子女的日常点滴,诠释母爱的无私与伟大。这些记叙文通过具体的场景、对话和细节描写,让人物形象跃然纸上,使读者在阅读过程中产生强烈的情感共鸣,深入理解人物背后的价值与意义。 【阅读语段】 Mia has always had a passion for dancing. Since she was a little girl, she would watch dance performances on TV and imitate the moves in her living room. However, her path to becoming a dancer was not easy. At the age of 10, she joined a dance school, but she was often criticized by her teacher for being too clumsy. Many of her classmates also laughed at her and told her that she would never be a good dancer. But Mia didn't give up. She practiced for hours every day, even when she was tired or sore. She watched videos of famous dancers and studied their techniques carefully. Over time, her hard work began to pay off. She became more and more skilled in dancing, and her performances started to receive praise from her teacher and classmates. At the age of 15, she participated in a national dance competition. Despite facing many talented competitors, she danced with confidence and grace, and eventually won the first prize. Mia's story shows that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible. 【语段分析】 这篇记人类记叙文以 Mia 作为核心人物,构建了一个充满励志色彩的成长叙事。故事开篇便将读者带入 Mia 的困境 —— 身材纤细却动作不协调的她,在舞蹈教室里因频繁踩错节拍、肢体僵硬而饱受同龄人的窃笑与嘲讽,甚至连舞蹈老师都忍不住摇头叹息,直言她 "没有舞蹈天赋"。面对这些质疑与否定,Mia 没有选择退缩,反而将全部的倔强与执着倾注在舞蹈练习中。她给自己制定了严苛的训练计划,每天清晨五点便踏着月光前往舞蹈室,在空旷的地板上重复着基础舞步,直至深夜;休息时间,她会反复观看著名舞者的表演视频,逐帧分析动作的发力点与肢体的韵律,用笔记本详细记录每一个细节,将那些优秀舞者的经验转化为自己的成长养分。 在叙事推进过程中,作者巧妙设置了两次关键事件:第一次是 Mia 克服重重困难,凭借努力进入专业舞蹈学校,这不仅象征着她突破了自我局限,更意味着她在舞蹈道路上迈出了坚实的一步;第二次全国舞蹈比赛的情节更是将故事推向高潮,Mia 在舞台上用流畅且富有感染力的舞姿惊艳全场,最终摘得桂冠。通过这些具体事件的铺陈,文章立体地展现了 Mia 坚韧不拔的性格特质与不断突破自我的成长轨迹,让读者深刻感受到信念与坚持的力量。 二、题型设置及解答策略 在高中英语阅读理解中,针对记叙文的题型设置主要包括细节理解题、推理判断题、词义猜测题和主旨大意题等。下面将结合具体的阅读语段和题目进行分析,并介绍相应的解答策略。 (一)题型设置分析 【阅读语段】 One cold winter evening, I was walking home from work. The wind was howling, and the snow was falling heavily. I was wearing a thick coat and a pair of gloves, but I still felt cold to the bone. As I was walking along the quiet street, I noticed an old man sitting on a bench. He was wearing a thin jacket and no gloves, and his hands were trembling with cold. I felt sorry for him, but I didn't know what to do. I thought about giving him my gloves, but I was also worried that I would be too cold without them. Just as I was hesitating, a young woman walked up to the old man. She took off her own gloves and gave them to the old man. "Here, sir," she said gently. "These will keep you warm." The old man thanked her sincerely, and a smile appeared on his face. The young woman then walked away, leaving me feeling ashamed of my own hesitation. I realized that sometimes a small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life. (二)题目设置及分析 1. 细节理解题 [可设试题]What was the weather like when the author was walking home? A. It was sunny and warm. B. It was windy and snowy. C. It was rainy and cloudy. D. It was foggy and cold. [答题分析] 细节理解题主要考查学生对文章中具体细节的理解和把握。解答此类题目时,需要先找到题干中的关键词,如本题中的 "weather",然后在文章中定位到相关的句子,仔细阅读并理解其内容。在文中,第一句提到 "One cold winter evening, I was walking home from work. The wind was howling, and the snow was falling heavily.",明确描述了天气是寒冷的冬天晚上,风在呼啸,雪下得很大,即 windy and snowy,所以答案选 B。 2. 推理判断题 [可设试题]Why did the author feel ashamed? A. Because she didn't have any gloves to give. B. Because she didn't help the old man immediately. C. Because the young woman was more beautiful than her. D. Because the old man didn't thank her. [答题分析] 推理判断题要求学生根据文章中的已知信息进行合理的推断和判断,不能直接从文章中找到答案,而是需要通过分析、归纳等方法得出结论。在本题中,作者看到老人生冷,自己犹豫是否给手套,而年轻女子却毫不犹豫地给了老人手套,之后作者感到羞愧。由此可以推断出,作者羞愧的原因是自己没有像年轻女子那样立即帮助老人,所以答案选 B。 3. 词义猜测题 [可设试题]What does the underlined word "hesitating" mean in the passage? A. Acting quickly. B. Thinking carefully. C. Feeling excited. D. Being afraid. [答题分析] 词义猜测题主要考查学生根据上下文语境猜测单词或短语含义的能力。在文中,作者看到老人生冷,想给手套但又担心自己会冷,所以 "hesitating" 应该是表示犹豫、迟疑的意思。结合选项,"Thinking carefully"(仔细思考)更符合语境,因为作者在犹豫是否要给手套,是在仔细思考,所以答案选 B。 4. 主旨大意题 [可设试题]What is the main idea of the passage? A. The author's cold winter evening walk. B. The old man's difficult situation. C. A young woman's act of kindness. D. The importance of helping others. [答题分析] 主旨大意题要求学生概括文章的主要内容和中心思想。在这篇文章中,作者通过讲述自己看到年轻女子帮助老人生冷的故事,最后得出 "a small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life" 的感悟,强调了帮助他人的重要性。所以答案选 D。 (二)记叙文的解答策略 1.细节理解题:这一题型要求考生精准捕捉文章中的具体信息。答题时,首先要圈定题干中的核心关键词,如人名、地名、时间、数字等标志性信息。例如,题干出现 "According to paragraph 3, what did Tom do last Sunday?",应迅速定位到第三段,锁定包含 "Tom" 和 "last Sunday" 的句子。同时要警惕干扰选项常见的陷阱,如偷换概念、以偏概全、无中生有等。比如将原文中 "bought a book" 改为 "borrowed a book",通过细微差异迷惑考生。 2.推理判断题:此类题目重点考查逻辑思维能力,要求考生在已知信息基础上进行合理推导。答题时需严格以文本为依据,避免加入个人主观想法。例如,文章描述 "She didn't answer the phone when her mother called",只能推断出她当时未接电话,不能臆测她故意不接或手机没电等未提及的内容。同时,注意结合上下文语境,某些句子单独理解可能产生歧义,需通过前后文明确作者意图。 3.词义猜测题:破解生词含义可采用多种策略。语境线索法是最常用的方法,通过生词前后的句子推断含义,如 "She felt lethargic, unable to get out of bed or even open her eyes",通过后半句解释可知 "lethargic" 意为 "lethargic"。构词法分析同样有效,例如 "unhappiness" 由否定前缀 "un-" 和名词 "happiness" 构成,可推测其意为 "不快乐"。此外,还可通过对比关系(while, but)、举例说明(such as, for example)等方式辅助判断。 4.主旨大意题:把握文章主旨需要宏观理解全文。寻找主题句是高效方法,英语记叙文常见的主题句位置包括首段开门见山提出主题,或尾段总结升华主题。若文章无明显主题句,则需梳理各段落大意,提炼共性内容。例如,文章分别描述了作者在乡村的童年趣事、与祖父的互动、对田园生活的怀念,可归纳出主旨为 "作者对乡村童年生活的回忆与眷恋" 。 1 When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me Chinese folk stories before bedtime. My mother is an immigrant. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left behind. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it. Of all her stories, my favorites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many super powers. Eventually, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book. Afterwards, Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America replaced Monkey King in my heart. I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist. My most well-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct adaptation of my mother’s stories. Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions without reservation. I needed him to emote on my pages. For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realized that American superheroes hadn’t replaced Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king. The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across continents and cultures. Journey to the West is the very definition of timeless. My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong. 1.Why did the author start to read Journey to the West? A.To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong. B.To study the original for creation of his own works. C.To learn the philosophy of life in Journey to the West. D.To compare Western literature with Chinese classics. 2.What did the author’s mother expect him to do? A.Earn a living by writing. B.Experience Chinese culture first hand. C.Keep their cultural roots. D.Remember all the stories she told him. 3.What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese? A.It is a best-seller among American born Chinese. B.It reflects the growing pains of American children. C.It encourages people to seek their fortune abroad. D.It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong. 4.How did the Chinese folk stories told by the author’s mother influence his later career? A.Profound. B.Sufficient. C.Shallow. D.Ambiguous. 2 Healing the Whole Family For a long time, I didn’t know about depression and anxiety, and the adults around me never suspected, because it seemed that I had it all together: perfect SAT (美国学业能力倾向测验) score, ten AP (大学先修课程) tests passed successfully, national awards won, president of clubs, devoted volunteer, and founder of a nonprofit. When I burst into tears, my father would yell at me to stop crying. And when I shared my negative thoughts with my mother, she called me selfish. I felt unworthy of their love until I was perfect enough. I attended Yale University as a first-generation Japanese student supported through financial aid, worked at McKinsey, one of the world’s largest consulting firms, and received two master’s degrees from Stanford University. My fears of not being good enough seem groundless now, but perhaps were understandable given my upbringing. Raised by neglectful and abusive parents, my parents had scars they dared not uncover even for themselves to see. No one had taught them to address those traumas (创伤) and to avoid repeating them through anxiety-filled parenting. I cannot remember a time when my home was worry-free. I learned early that any moment without worry was idle. When my grandmother died in my freshman year of college, my mother chose to “get on with” her life, focusing on raising my brother. For years after, my brother struggled with his weight and schoolwork to the point of near expulsion (开除) from school. As my mother looked for ways to help my brother, she came across Virginia Satir’s family therapy. Satir saw every family as a system. Changing one part changes the whole thing. This made my mother start processing her own traumas. So did I. During college, I sought counseling and studied wellness. I began to keep a diary to overcome my past’s shadow. In my final year, I told my family I had seen a therapist, and that it had helped. My family was surprised to find out my mental health challenges were “bad enough” to lead me to seek help. It was hard on my parents, who are part of a generation focused on survival rather than wellness, to hear how their parenting had made a lasting impact on me. It took much time and effort for my parents to shift away from the mindset they had grown up with. Years into the journey, my mother now runs a nonprofit organization teaching thousands of Mandarin-speaking parents about conscious communication. At her recent workshop, heard my dad tell a parent, “I didn’t believe in therapy until my daughter told me that it’s like fixing a cavity (蛀牙洞) at the dentist, which makes a lot of sense to me now. Watching my family learn helped me see that I have room to grow, too.” 1.Why did the author mention all her achievements? A.To stress that achievements didn’t ensure emotional well-being. B.To prove that she was qualified to be critical about her family. C.To invite readers to rethink the definition of success. D.To show her parents played a role in her education. 2.What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about? A.The upbringing of the author’s parents. B.The root cause of the author’s anxieties. C.The terrible author-parental relationship. D.The common fixed images of Asian students. 3.What motivated the author’s mother to deal with her own traumas? A.The focus on her own wellness. B.The sorrow brought by the death of her own mother. C.The fact that her daughter was diagnosed with depression. D.The belief that changing herself might help address her son’s issues. 4.Which of the following best describes the purpose of the article? A.To analyze the generational differences in attitudes towards wellness. B.To record how the author came to understand and forgive her parents. C.To show the role of family interactions in mental health and trauma recovery. D.To describe the author’s personal struggles of overcoming depression and anxiety. 3 10 January, a wedding ceremony, India When Nadim invited me to his sister’s wedding, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime. I was definitely not wrong! The wedding ceremony took place in a brightly decorated hotel room. There were hundreds of guests, all dressed up in formal, colourful clothes. According to tradition, the bride was wearing an eye-catching red silk sari. I did not understand all of the traditional customs, but a few made a deep impression on me. One was the bridegroom’s entrance on a beautiful white horse. I had never seen that back home! Another was the part when Nadim’s father proudly led his daughter through the rows of seats to her husband. It reminded me of my sister’s wedding. Although our cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same. The customs that followed were anything but ordinary. The couple joined hands and walked around a small fire four times. Then they took seven steps together by the fire, and with each step made a different promise about how they were going to support each other and live together happily. It was very romantic! After the ceremony, it was time for the celebrations. That is a story for another day, but let’s just say there was a lot of dancing. Now I know I have two left feet... and both of them hurt! 1.Which country did the writer go to? A.Australia. B.Egypt. C.India. D.Spain. 2.How did the groom make his entrance?

A.They promised to lose weight in the future. B.The promises were about how they were going to support each other and live together happily. C.They promised not to stay up late in the future. D.The promises were about how they were going to work hard. 4 In 1974, the graduating class of Moore High School in Oklahoma never had their graduation ceremony. Just as the students were seated in the football stadium, a tornado warning forced everyone to leave. Although no tornado actual hit the school that day, the ceremony was canceled and never rescheduled. For 50 years, these students dreamed of having their graduation. Finally, in 2024, their wish came true. Around 200 former students, now in their 60s and 70s, put on blue caps and gowns and walked across the stage to receive their diplomas (毕业证书). The weather was perfect-sunny and warm. Family members of classmates who had passed away were invited to accept diplomas for them. Bob Baker, the class president, even gave a slightly updated version of the speech he had prepared half a century ago Rachel Stark, the school principal and a 1988 graduate, helped organize this special event. She believed it was important to honor these students’ achievements, even decades later. Mike Wilson, a former student who now works at the school, shared, “As you grow older, you realize how meaningful this moment is.” Oklahoma averages over 50 tornadoes each year, making it one of the most tornado-prone states in the. US. But for the class of 1974, nothing could stop them from finally celebrating this important milestone even if it took 50 years. 1.Why was the 1974 graduation ceremony canceled? A.The students made a decision to put it off. B.The principal refused to hold the ceremony. C.The school was destroyed as a result of a tornado. D.Everyone had to leave because of a tornado warning. 2.What special arrangement was made for the graduates who had died? A.Their names were called aloud. B.Their friends received the diplomas.

C.He thought it was unnecessary, D.He preferred to ignore it. 4.What can we infer about the class of 1974? A.They were afraid of the tornadoes. B.They refused to hold the ceremony. C.They didn’t care about the graduation, D.They never forgot the precious moment. 5 Have you wondered how long would the trip from Amsterdam to Shanghai take by bike? Ole Bouman, a Dutch-German historian, writer and photographer and now a professor at Tongji University in Shanghai, has the answer — 156 days. This journey wasn’t a whim. It was a long-held idea that became increasingly clear and defined as Bouman started making physical, mental, and financial preparations, “I’ve had the strong curiosity to learn more about the East since the 1990s. As a cultural historian, I would like to know more about the relationship and interconnection between the East and the West,” said Bourman. Setting off from Amsterdam, Bouman faced unexpected challenges and deep thinking. Every day, he rode toward different destinations. A 45-kilogram bag and an 18-kilogram bike were all that carried him on the 10,756-kilometer journey through 18 countries and regions with 16 different languages, as well as more than 500 historical sites. Along the way, he crossed about 300 rivers, climbed over 100 mountains, and tried to find a road that was not so smooth to gain new experiences, mapping an adventure filled with discoveries about people, cultures, stories, understanding, and connection. Cycling from the West to the East and recording thousands of memorable moments, Bouman became more certain that his journey was more about the common ground we shared — the peace — rather than the differences. “From the West to the East, there are big changes in cultures, landscapes, literature, etc. But while pursuing (追求) changes and interacting with ordinary people, I become aware that people are pursuing a similar kind of normal life and personal happiness.” Bouman has lived in China for around 10 years since he cycled to Shanghai and has been attracted by the whole history behind the new world. Now he is the founding director of the Design Society, a cultural exchange platform, whose goal is to push the young generation to kick off their own journey and encourage them to get close to the truth and reality by making physical efforts. 1.What does the underlined word “whim” in paragraph 2 mean? A.A strong desire. B.A sudden wish. C.A long-held idea. D.A challenging trip. 2.Why is the data mentioned in paragraph 3? A.To show Bouman’s smooth experiences. B.To show the difficulties along the journey. C.To show different destinations in the world. D.To show Bouman’s unexpected ways of thinking. 3.Which of the following can best describe Bouman? A.Honest and brave. B.Generous and humorous. C.Curious and adventurous. D.Creative and imaginative. 4.What is the aim of the Design Society? A.To tell the story of Bouman’s journey. B.To share the whole history behind China. C.To inspire the youth to explore the world physically. D.To establish the platforms for world cultural exchange. 6 I am Mary Steenburgen, an actress. Tommy, my best friend, lived in the house next door when I was little. We both loved the outdoors. We’d go on adventures deep in the woods. At home, Tommy had a big box filled with hats.

Johnny worked very hard. By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some fine, wild blueberries. “How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought Johnny. He picked up all of the blueberries. As he was lifting the first blueberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother. With this in mind, he put the blueberry back again He thought how refreshing they would be for her, yet was still looking at them with a longing eye. “I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. He divided them into two parts, but each part looked small. He put them together again. “I will only eat one,” he thought. But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back. When the sun was beginning to sink, Johnny set out for home How happy he felt, then, that he had all his blueberries for his mother. He heard his mother’s faint (虚弱的) voice calling him “Is that you, Johnny?

It began when Terasa was observing a horse auction. A chestnut: racehorse was for sale? “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, though it had an injured leg,” said Terasa. When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. Finally, Terasa became the new owner of Sierra, and Sierra, limping and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered. It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa kept providing Sierra with many treats, but none passed the sniff test. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life in a new direction. Her treats, called “Barnies”, were sold to a local store and like hotcakes, within months local businessmen began demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her operation to an Oshawa company. Then a serious health problem threatened to ruin her plans. Terasa called upon the firm decision that had helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa-found a national distributor and Barnies began selling in 144 stores across Canada. And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse. 1.Why did Terasa create her own cookies?

D.It continues the focus of the paragraph before it. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.A remarkable auction B.A famous food company. C.A rescue of a weak horse. D.A career from previous devotion. 9 Young children typically struggle to stay calm in emergencies (紧急情况) , yet Savannah was an exception. Five-year-old Savannah found herself in a difficult situation that no child should ever meet with. But how she behaved went beyond everyone’s expectations. Savannah stayed up late watching a movie while her mother was away on a business trip. During the movie night, she sensed something was wrong—instead of the expected pleasant smell, she heard something dropping heavily down on the floor in the kitchen. With the nonstop barking (吠叫) of their pet dog, Lou, her curiosity led her to the kitchen, where she discovered her father lying on the floor in total silence, holding his chest (胸膛) tightly in obvious pain. Extremely scared but remembering her parents’ advice about emergencies, she knew she had to do something. Savannah quickly called emergency services, using the kitchen wall phone. Her parents had wisely equipped her with enough knowledge about similar situations, teaching her the steps to take in an emergency. That guidance now proved invaluable, allowing her to act quickly and calmly under pressure. Jason, an operator with 11 years of experience, was amazed at Savannah’s behavior during the emergency call. She told him how her father looked and mentioned his difficulty in breathing and chest pains. That information allowed Jason to judge the situation quickly and believe the emergency was a heart condition. Savannah stayed in constant communication with Jason until an ambulance arrived. She even unlocked the front door to ensure the medical team could enter quickly and without any delay, playing an important role in managing the situation and ensuring her father received the necessary help immediately. 1.What was the first sign that warned Savannah? A.The appearance of an unfamiliar smell. B.The loud cry from her father. C.The unusual noise from the kitchen. D.The absence of her pet dog. 2.Why was Savannah able to respond to the situation properly? A.She received medical training from school. B.Her mother instructed her on the phone.

B.She performed first aid on her father. C.She broke down under too much pressure. D.She asked her father for guidance. 4.What message does the text deliver? A.Capability knows no age. B.Many hands make light work. C.Late is better than never. D.All roads lead to Rome. 10 On 3 January, British Army officer Preet Chandi made history by becoming the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition across Antarctica to the South Pole. Chandi, who calls herself Polar Preet, set off on her journey on 24 November 2021. Writing on her website (polarpreet.com). Chandi said she was inspired to go to Antarctica because she didn’t know much about the continent and wanted to inspire others. Chandi spent two years preparing for the trip. Her training involved dragging tires around the streets near her home in Derby, England, and a trip to Greenland to get used to cold weather. Chandi travelled a total of 700 miles in 40 days, arriving 5 days ahead of schedule. She faced winds of 60 miles per hour and temperatures of -50℃ while dragging a 90-kilogram sled. Along the way, Chandi recorded daily voice messages, which people can hear on her website. In her final voice recording, Chandi said, “This expedition was always about so much more than me. I wanted to encourage people to push boundaries and believe in themselves. I’m really proud that I`m an Indian woman doing something that isn’t expected.” She added, “Everybody starts somewhere, and the more you do, the more you realize you’re capable of.” Chandi now plans to set up an “adventure grant”, using money raised for the trip. This grant will give money to women of any age or background who want to go on an adventure. It can be for any adventure, any unique adventure that is pushing some kind of boundary. It doesn’t have to be a polar expedition. And Chandi hopes it is something that will continue year after year after year. 1.What inspired Preet Chandi to go to Antarctica? A.Her aspiration to set a record for the longest solo journey in Antarctica. B.Her dream of conquering the continent of Antarctica. C.Her limited knowledge about the continent and desire to motivate others. D.Her wish to raise funds for adventurous women. 2.Which of the following was NOT a challenge Chandi faced during the expedition? A.Terrible weather conditions. B.Having no communication devices. C.Making great physical efforts. D.The long journey. 3.Why did Preet Chandi establish an “adventure grant”? A.To reward women of any age or background for their hard work. B.To financially aid women for any expeditions challenging limits. C.To sponsor a polar excursion involving many adventures. D.To make a long-term initiative for women’s rights. 11 Mary Kay was born in Texas in 1918.

This year, our class had high hopes for winning the championship. The first runner, Tom, got off to a great start, maintaining a slight lead over the other teams. However, when it came to the second baton exchange, there was a small mistake. The second runner, Sarah, fumbled the baton for a moment, which caused us to fall behind several teams. The atmosphere in the stadium became tense, and our classmates could hardly bear to watch. But the third runner, David, didn't lose heart. He ran with all his might, gradually closing the gap. Finally, it was the turn of the last runner, Lily. She was known for her speed and determination. As soon as she received the baton, she dashed forward like a lightning bolt. The crowd cheered loudly as she overtook one team after another. In the end, she crossed the finish line first, and our class won the championship amid wild applause. 【语段分析】 这篇叙事类记叙文以扣人心弦的笔触,生动描绘了一年一度的学校运动会 4x100 米接力赛。故事以清晨洒满阳光的校园体育场为舞台,随着发令枪响,Tom、Sarah、David、Lily 等运动员如离弦之箭冲出起跑线。前两棒选手配合默契,暂时保持领先优势。然而,第三棒交接时,意外突然发生 —— 接力棒在两人手中滑落,这一瞬间的失误致使队伍瞬间从领先位置跌落至最后一名。 赛场上的气氛瞬间凝固,观众席上的惊呼声此起彼伏,队员们也因这一失误慌了神。但面对困境,他们并未气馁,尤其是最后一棒的 Lily,眼神中透露出坚定的信念。她迅速调整状态,接过接力棒后,如猎豹般在跑道上飞驰,凭借顽强的毅力和出色的爆发力,不断超越前方选手。随着 Lily 冲过终点线,全场爆发出震耳欲聋的欢呼声,这支在逆境中奋起直追的队伍,最终实现了从落后到夺冠的惊人逆转。 文中不仅清晰交代了时间(annual school sports meeting)、地点(stadium)、人物(Tom、Sarah、David、Lily 等),还通过细腻的描写手法,生动刻画了事件的起因、经过和结果。作者巧妙运用 "紧握接力棒"" 奋力摆动双臂 ""咬紧牙关" 等动作描写,配合 "赛场一片寂静"" 欢呼声此起彼伏 " 等氛围渲染,让读者仿佛身临其境,深切感受到比赛过程的紧张与激烈,以及运动员们永不言弃的精神。 (二)记人类记叙文 记人类记叙文以人物为中心,通过细腻入微的外貌刻画、性格塑造、人生经历铺陈与典型事迹叙述,立体展现人物的独特特点与精神品质。在叙事结构上,常围绕人物一个或多个具有代表性的核心事件展开,这些事件或是改变人物命运的转折点,或是彰显其精神品格的高光时刻。例如,通过描写著名科学家在实验室无数个日夜的钻研,以及攻克重大科研难题的过程,展现其严谨治学与勇于探索的科学精神;或是讲述伟大运动员在赛场上克服伤病、突破极限,最终站上领奖台的经历,凸显其坚韧不拔与追求卓越的体育精神;亦或是聚焦一位平凡母亲在生活中默默付出、含辛茹苦养育子女的日常点滴,诠释母爱的无私与伟大。这些记叙文通过具体的场景、对话和细节描写,让人物形象跃然纸上,使读者在阅读过程中产生强烈的情感共鸣,深入理解人物背后的价值与意义。 【阅读语段】 Mia has always had a passion for dancing. Since she was a little girl, she would watch dance performances on TV and imitate the moves in her living room. However, her path to becoming a dancer was not easy. At the age of 10, she joined a dance school, but she was often criticized by her teacher for being too clumsy. Many of her classmates also laughed at her and told her that she would never be a good dancer. But Mia didn't give up. She practiced for hours every day, even when she was tired or sore. She watched videos of famous dancers and studied their techniques carefully. Over time, her hard work began to pay off. She became more and more skilled in dancing, and her performances started to receive praise from her teacher and classmates. At the age of 15, she participated in a national dance competition. Despite facing many talented competitors, she danced with confidence and grace, and eventually won the first prize. Mia's story shows that with determination and perseverance, anything is possible. 【语段分析】 这篇记人类记叙文以 Mia 作为核心人物,构建了一个充满励志色彩的成长叙事。故事开篇便将读者带入 Mia 的困境 —— 身材纤细却动作不协调的她,在舞蹈教室里因频繁踩错节拍、肢体僵硬而饱受同龄人的窃笑与嘲讽,甚至连舞蹈老师都忍不住摇头叹息,直言她 "没有舞蹈天赋"。面对这些质疑与否定,Mia 没有选择退缩,反而将全部的倔强与执着倾注在舞蹈练习中。她给自己制定了严苛的训练计划,每天清晨五点便踏着月光前往舞蹈室,在空旷的地板上重复着基础舞步,直至深夜;休息时间,她会反复观看著名舞者的表演视频,逐帧分析动作的发力点与肢体的韵律,用笔记本详细记录每一个细节,将那些优秀舞者的经验转化为自己的成长养分。 在叙事推进过程中,作者巧妙设置了两次关键事件:第一次是 Mia 克服重重困难,凭借努力进入专业舞蹈学校,这不仅象征着她突破了自我局限,更意味着她在舞蹈道路上迈出了坚实的一步;第二次全国舞蹈比赛的情节更是将故事推向高潮,Mia 在舞台上用流畅且富有感染力的舞姿惊艳全场,最终摘得桂冠。通过这些具体事件的铺陈,文章立体地展现了 Mia 坚韧不拔的性格特质与不断突破自我的成长轨迹,让读者深刻感受到信念与坚持的力量。 二、题型设置及解答策略 在高中英语阅读理解中,针对记叙文的题型设置主要包括细节理解题、推理判断题、词义猜测题和主旨大意题等。下面将结合具体的阅读语段和题目进行分析,并介绍相应的解答策略。 (一)题型设置分析 【阅读语段】 One cold winter evening, I was walking home from work. The wind was howling, and the snow was falling heavily. I was wearing a thick coat and a pair of gloves, but I still felt cold to the bone. As I was walking along the quiet street, I noticed an old man sitting on a bench. He was wearing a thin jacket and no gloves, and his hands were trembling with cold. I felt sorry for him, but I didn't know what to do. I thought about giving him my gloves, but I was also worried that I would be too cold without them. Just as I was hesitating, a young woman walked up to the old man. She took off her own gloves and gave them to the old man. "Here, sir," she said gently. "These will keep you warm." The old man thanked her sincerely, and a smile appeared on his face. The young woman then walked away, leaving me feeling ashamed of my own hesitation. I realized that sometimes a small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life. (二)题目设置及分析 1. 细节理解题 [可设试题]What was the weather like when the author was walking home? A. It was sunny and warm. B. It was windy and snowy. C. It was rainy and cloudy. D. It was foggy and cold. [答题分析] 细节理解题主要考查学生对文章中具体细节的理解和把握。解答此类题目时,需要先找到题干中的关键词,如本题中的 "weather",然后在文章中定位到相关的句子,仔细阅读并理解其内容。在文中,第一句提到 "One cold winter evening, I was walking home from work. The wind was howling, and the snow was falling heavily.",明确描述了天气是寒冷的冬天晚上,风在呼啸,雪下得很大,即 windy and snowy,所以答案选 B。 2. 推理判断题 [可设试题]Why did the author feel ashamed? A. Because she didn't have any gloves to give. B. Because she didn't help the old man immediately. C. Because the young woman was more beautiful than her. D. Because the old man didn't thank her. [答题分析] 推理判断题要求学生根据文章中的已知信息进行合理的推断和判断,不能直接从文章中找到答案,而是需要通过分析、归纳等方法得出结论。在本题中,作者看到老人生冷,自己犹豫是否给手套,而年轻女子却毫不犹豫地给了老人手套,之后作者感到羞愧。由此可以推断出,作者羞愧的原因是自己没有像年轻女子那样立即帮助老人,所以答案选 B。 3. 词义猜测题 [可设试题]What does the underlined word "hesitating" mean in the passage? A. Acting quickly. B. Thinking carefully. C. Feeling excited. D. Being afraid. [答题分析] 词义猜测题主要考查学生根据上下文语境猜测单词或短语含义的能力。在文中,作者看到老人生冷,想给手套但又担心自己会冷,所以 "hesitating" 应该是表示犹豫、迟疑的意思。结合选项,"Thinking carefully"(仔细思考)更符合语境,因为作者在犹豫是否要给手套,是在仔细思考,所以答案选 B。 4. 主旨大意题 [可设试题]What is the main idea of the passage? A. The author's cold winter evening walk. B. The old man's difficult situation. C. A young woman's act of kindness. D. The importance of helping others. [答题分析] 主旨大意题要求学生概括文章的主要内容和中心思想。在这篇文章中,作者通过讲述自己看到年轻女子帮助老人生冷的故事,最后得出 "a small act of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life" 的感悟,强调了帮助他人的重要性。所以答案选 D。 (二)记叙文的解答策略 1.细节理解题:这一题型要求考生精准捕捉文章中的具体信息。答题时,首先要圈定题干中的核心关键词,如人名、地名、时间、数字等标志性信息。例如,题干出现 "According to paragraph 3, what did Tom do last Sunday?",应迅速定位到第三段,锁定包含 "Tom" 和 "last Sunday" 的句子。同时要警惕干扰选项常见的陷阱,如偷换概念、以偏概全、无中生有等。比如将原文中 "bought a book" 改为 "borrowed a book",通过细微差异迷惑考生。 2.推理判断题:此类题目重点考查逻辑思维能力,要求考生在已知信息基础上进行合理推导。答题时需严格以文本为依据,避免加入个人主观想法。例如,文章描述 "She didn't answer the phone when her mother called",只能推断出她当时未接电话,不能臆测她故意不接或手机没电等未提及的内容。同时,注意结合上下文语境,某些句子单独理解可能产生歧义,需通过前后文明确作者意图。 3.词义猜测题:破解生词含义可采用多种策略。语境线索法是最常用的方法,通过生词前后的句子推断含义,如 "She felt lethargic, unable to get out of bed or even open her eyes",通过后半句解释可知 "lethargic" 意为 "lethargic"。构词法分析同样有效,例如 "unhappiness" 由否定前缀 "un-" 和名词 "happiness" 构成,可推测其意为 "不快乐"。此外,还可通过对比关系(while, but)、举例说明(such as, for example)等方式辅助判断。 4.主旨大意题:把握文章主旨需要宏观理解全文。寻找主题句是高效方法,英语记叙文常见的主题句位置包括首段开门见山提出主题,或尾段总结升华主题。若文章无明显主题句,则需梳理各段落大意,提炼共性内容。例如,文章分别描述了作者在乡村的童年趣事、与祖父的互动、对田园生活的怀念,可归纳出主旨为 "作者对乡村童年生活的回忆与眷恋" 。 1 When I was a kid, my mother used to tell me Chinese folk stories before bedtime. My mother is an immigrant. She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left behind. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it. Of all her stories, my favorites were about Sun Wukong, the monkey king who had many super powers. Eventually, though, I moved on to other kinds of heroes. When I was in the fifth grade, I bought my first American comic book. Afterwards, Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America replaced Monkey King in my heart. I became crazy about comic books. I loved them so much that I went on to work towards a career in comics. Today I am a professional graphic novelist. My most well-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct adaptation of my mother’s stories. Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions without reservation. I needed him to emote on my pages. For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries-old Chinese classic that first told the monkey king’s story. As I read it, I realized that American superheroes hadn’t replaced Sun Wukong in my heart after all. Superman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were simply Western expressions of everything I loved about the monkey king. The monkey king’s story has lasted for centuries and travelled across continents and cultures. Journey to the West is the very definition of timeless. My mother now has Alzheimer’s. She’s forgotten all of the stories she used to tell me, but I remember. In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong. 1.Why did the author start to read Journey to the West? A.To connect American superheroes with Sun Wukong. B.To study the original for creation of his own works. C.To learn the philosophy of life in Journey to the West. D.To compare Western literature with Chinese classics. 2.What did the author’s mother expect him to do? A.Earn a living by writing. B.Experience Chinese culture first hand. C.Keep their cultural roots. D.Remember all the stories she told him. 3.What can be learnt about the book American Born Chinese? A.It is a best-seller among American born Chinese. B.It reflects the growing pains of American children. C.It encourages people to seek their fortune abroad. D.It is partly inspired by the story of Sun Wukong. 4.How did the Chinese folk stories told by the author’s mother influence his later career? A.Profound. B.Sufficient. C.Shallow. D.Ambiguous. 【答案】1.B 2.C 3.D 4.A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候听母亲讲孙悟空的故事,后来喜欢美国漫画英雄,成为漫画小说家后创作作品受孙悟空故事影响的经历。 1.细节理解题。根据第四段“Instead, I invited Monkey King into my story so that I could talk about the uneasiness of growing up as an Asian American. The character I knew from my childhood expressed his emotions without reservation. I needed him to emote on my pages.(于是,我将美猴王引入我的故事,借他之口诉说亚裔美国人的成长阵痛。这个童年熟知的人物从不懂情感克制,而我正需要他在字里行间恣意挥洒情绪)”和第五段中“For research, I tracked down an English translation of Journey to the West, the centuries old Chinese classic that first told the monkey king’s story.(为了研究,我找到了《西游记》的英文译本,这部古老的中国经典首次讲述了美猴王的故事)”可知,作者阅读《西游记》是为了研究原著用于自己作品的创作。故选B项。 2.细节理解题。根据第一段中“She told me those stories so that I wouldn’t forget the culture that she had left behind. Even though I hadn’t ever experienced that culture at first hand, she wanted me to remember it.(她给我讲那些故事,这样我就不会忘记她留下的文化。尽管我没有亲身经历过那种文化,但她希望我记住它)”可知,作者的母亲期望他记住他们的文化根源。故选C项。 3.细节理解题。根据第三段中“My most well-known book is American Born Chinese, published in 2006. Monkey King is one of my main characters, but the book isn’t a direct adaptation of my mother’s stories.(我最著名的书是2006年出版的《美国出生的中国人》。美猴王是我的主要角色之一,但这本书并不是对我母亲故事的直接改编)”可知,这本书部分灵感来源于孙悟空的故事。故选D项。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In many ways, I’ve built my whole career on those moments before bedtime. With every comic book I create, I am trying to relive the wonder I felt when my mother told me the stories of Sun Wukong.(在很多方面,我的整个职业生涯都是建立在那些睡前时光之上的。我创作的每一本漫画书,都在试图重温母亲给我讲孙悟空故事时我感受到的奇妙感觉)”可知,作者母亲讲的中国民间故事对他后来的职业生涯影响深远。故选A项。 2 Healing the Whole Family For a long time, I didn’t know about depression and anxiety, and the adults around me never suspected, because it seemed that I had it all together: perfect SAT (美国学业能力倾向测验) score, ten AP (大学先修课程) tests passed successfully, national awards won, president of clubs, devoted volunteer, and founder of a nonprofit. When I burst into tears, my father would yell at me to stop crying. And when I shared my negative thoughts with my mother, she called me selfish. I felt unworthy of their love until I was perfect enough. I attended Yale University as a first-generation Japanese student supported through financial aid, worked at McKinsey, one of the world’s largest consulting firms, and received two master’s degrees from Stanford University. My fears of not being good enough seem groundless now, but perhaps were understandable given my upbringing. Raised by neglectful and abusive parents, my parents had scars they dared not uncover even for themselves to see. No one had taught them to address those traumas (创伤) and to avoid repeating them through anxiety-filled parenting. I cannot remember a time when my home was worry-free. I learned early that any moment without worry was idle. When my grandmother died in my freshman year of college, my mother chose to “get on with” her life, focusing on raising my brother. For years after, my brother struggled with his weight and schoolwork to the point of near expulsion (开除) from school. As my mother looked for ways to help my brother, she came across Virginia Satir’s family therapy. Satir saw every family as a system. Changing one part changes the whole thing. This made my mother start processing her own traumas. So did I. During college, I sought counseling and studied wellness. I began to keep a diary to overcome my past’s shadow. In my final year, I told my family I had seen a therapist, and that it had helped. My family was surprised to find out my mental health challenges were “bad enough” to lead me to seek help. It was hard on my parents, who are part of a generation focused on survival rather than wellness, to hear how their parenting had made a lasting impact on me. It took much time and effort for my parents to shift away from the mindset they had grown up with. Years into the journey, my mother now runs a nonprofit organization teaching thousands of Mandarin-speaking parents about conscious communication. At her recent workshop, heard my dad tell a parent, “I didn’t believe in therapy until my daughter told me that it’s like fixing a cavity (蛀牙洞) at the dentist, which makes a lot of sense to me now. Watching my family learn helped me see that I have room to grow, too.” 1.Why did the author mention all her achievements? A.To stress that achievements didn’t ensure emotional well-being. B.To prove that she was qualified to be critical about her family. C.To invite readers to rethink the definition of success. D.To show her parents played a role in her education. 2.What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about? A.The upbringing of the author’s parents. B.The root cause of the author’s anxieties. C.The terrible author-parental relationship. D.The common fixed images of Asian students. 3.What motivated the author’s mother to deal with her own traumas? A.The focus on her own wellness. B.The sorrow brought by the death of her own mother. C.The fact that her daughter was diagnosed with depression. D.The belief that changing herself might help address her son’s issues. 4.Which of the following best describes the purpose of the article? A.To analyze the generational differences in attitudes towards wellness. B.To record how the author came to understand and forgive her parents. C.To show the role of family interactions in mental health and trauma recovery. D.To describe the author’s personal struggles of overcoming depression and anxiety. 【答案】1.A 2.B 3.D 4.C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述家庭创伤代际传递,共同疗愈改变心理健康。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段“For a long time, I didn’t know about depression and anxiety, and the adults around me never suspected, because I looked like I had it all together: perfect SAT (美国学业能力倾向测验) score, ten AP (大学先修课程) tests aced, national awards won, president of clubs, dedicated volunteer, and founder of a nonprofit. When I burst into tears, my father would yell at me to stop crying. And when I shared my negative thoughts with my mother, she called me selfish. I felt unworthy of their love until I was perfect . (很长一段时间里,我都不了解抑郁和焦虑,我身边的大人们也从未起过疑心,因为我看起来一切都顺风顺水:美国学业能力倾向测验(SAT)成绩优异,十门大学先修课程(AP)考试全部高分通过,荣获过国家级奖项,担任过社团主席,是一名热心的志愿者,还创办了一家非营利组织。每当我突然大哭起来时,父亲总会对我大喊让我别哭。而当我向母亲倾诉自己的消极想法时,她却说我自私。在我达到无可挑剔的完美之前,我一直觉得自己不配得到他们的爱)”可知,作者虽然取得了很多成就,看起来一切都很好,但内心却充满了不被爱的感觉和对自己不够好的恐惧,有抑郁和焦虑的情绪。由此推知作者提到自己的所有成就,是为了强调成就并不能保证情感上的幸福。故选A。 2.主旨大意题。根据第三段“Raised by neglectful and abusive parents, my parents had scars they dared not uncover even for themselves to see. No one had taught them to address those traumas (创伤) and to avoid repeating them through anxiety-filled parenting. I cannot remember a time when my home was worry-free. (我的父母在被忽视和虐待的环境中长大,他们身上有着连自己都不敢去揭开的伤疤。从来没有人教过他们如何去面对那些创伤,以及如何避免在充满焦虑的养育方式中重蹈覆辙。我完全不记得家里什么时候有过无忧无虑的时光)”可知,作者在第三段指出父母的忽视和虐待的教养方式是其焦虑根源,由此可知本段主要讲述作者焦虑的根本原因。故选B。 3.细节理解题。根据第五段“As my mother looked for ways to help my brother, she came across Virginia Satir’s family therapy. Satir saw every family as a system. Changing one part changes the whole thing. This made my mother start processing her own traumas.(当我母亲在寻找帮助我弟弟的方法时,她接触到了维吉尼亚・萨提尔的家庭治疗理论。萨提尔认为每个家庭都是一个系统。改变其中一部分就会改变整个系统。这使得我母亲开始处理她自己的创伤)”可知,母亲在寻找帮助弟弟的方法时,接触到家庭治疗理论,认为改变自己作为家庭系统的一部分可能有助于解决弟弟的问题,所以开始处理自己的创伤。因此,作者母亲处理自己创伤的动机是相信改变自己可能有助于解决她儿子的问题。故选D。 4.推理判断题。通读全文,并根据最后一段“Years into the journey, my mother now runs a nonprofit organization teaching thousands of Mandarin-speaking parents about conscious communication. At her recent workshop, heard my dad tell a parent, “I didn’t believe in therapy until my daughter told me that it’s like fixing a cavity (蛀牙洞) at the dentist, which makes a lot of sense to me now. Watching my family learn helped me see that I have room to grow, too.” (几年过去了,我母亲现在运营着一家非营利组织,向成千上万说普通话的父母教授有意识的沟通。在她最近的研讨会上,我听到我父亲对一位家长说:“我不相信心理治疗,直到我女儿告诉我,这就像在牙医那里补牙一样,这对我现在来说很有意义。看着我的家人学习,让我看到我也有成长的空间。”)”可知,本段对文章进行总结,即通过家庭疗愈历程,强调家庭互动对心理健康的影响,比如母亲创办非营利组织、父亲观念转变等。由此可以推断,文章的主要目的是展现家庭互动在心理健康与创伤恢复中的作用。故选C。 3 10 January, a wedding ceremony, India When Nadim invited me to his sister’s wedding, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime.

Just as the students were seated in the football stadium, a tornado warning forced everyone to leave. Although no tornado actual hit the school that day, the ceremony was canceled and never rescheduled. For 50 years, these students dreamed of having their graduation. Finally, in 2024, their wish came true. Around 200 former students, now in their 60s and 70s, put on blue caps and gowns and walked across the stage to receive their diplomas (毕业证书). The weather was perfect-sunny and warm. Family members of classmates who had passed away were invited to accept diplomas for them. Bob Baker, the class president, even gave a slightly updated version of the speech he had prepared half a century ago Rachel Stark, the school principal and a 1988 graduate, helped organize this special event. She believed it was important to honor these students’ achievements, even decades later. Mike Wilson, a former student who now works at the school, shared, “As you grow older, you realize how meaningful this moment is.” Oklahoma averages over 50 tornadoes each year, making it one of the most tornado-prone states in the.

Ole Bouman, a Dutch-German historian, writer and photographer and now a professor at Tongji University in Shanghai, has the answer — 156 days. This journey wasn’t a whim. It was a long-held idea that became increasingly clear and defined as Bouman started making physical, mental, and financial preparations, “I’ve had the strong curiosity to learn more about the East since the 1990s. As a cultural historian, I would like to know more about the relationship and interconnection between the East and the West,” said Bourman. Setting off from Amsterdam, Bouman faced unexpected challenges and deep thinking. Every day, he rode toward different destinations. A 45-kilogram bag and an 18-kilogram bike were all that carried him on the 10,756-kilometer journey through 18 countries and regions with 16 different languages, as well as more than 500 historical sites. Along the way, he crossed about 300 rivers, climbed over 100 mountains, and tried to find a road that was not so smooth to gain new experiences, mapping an adventure filled with discoveries about people, cultures, stories, understanding, and connection. Cycling from the West to the East and recording thousands of memorable moments, Bouman became more certain that his journey was more about the common ground we shared — the peace — rather than the differences. “From the West to the East, there are big changes in cultures, landscapes, literature, etc. But while pursuing (追求) changes and interacting with ordinary people, I become aware that people are pursuing a similar kind of normal life and personal happiness.” Bouman has lived in China for around 10 years since he cycled to Shanghai and has been attracted by the whole history behind the new world. Now he is the founding director of the Design Society, a cultural exchange platform, whose goal is to push the young generation to kick off their own journey and encourage them to get close to the truth and reality by making physical efforts. 1.What does the underlined word “whim” in paragraph 2 mean? A.A strong desire. B.A sudden wish. C.A long-held idea. D.A challenging trip. 2.Why is the data mentioned in paragraph 3? A.To show Bouman’s smooth experiences. B.To show the difficulties along the journey. C.To show different destinations in the world. D.To show Bouman’s unexpected ways of thinking. 3.Which of the following can best describe Bouman? A.Honest and brave. B.Generous and humorous. C.Curious and adventurous. D.Creative and imaginative. 4.What is the aim of the Design Society? A.To tell the story of Bouman’s journey. B.To share the whole history behind China. C.To inspire the youth to explore the world physically. D.To establish the platforms for world cultural exchange. 【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.C 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述历史学家奥莱·布曼从阿姆斯特丹骑行至上海的旅程经历、感悟及创办文化交流平台的初衷。 1.词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线单词后的“It was a long-held idea that became increasingly clear and defined as Bouman started making physical, mental, and financial preparations, “I’ve had the strong curiosity to learn more about the East since the 1990s.

A chestnut: racehorse was for sale? “She was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen, though it had an injured leg,” said Terasa. When the bidding started, Terasa surprised herself by stepping in. Finally, Terasa became the new owner of Sierra, and Sierra, limping and hurt with pain from a broken knee, became a labour of love for Terasa. After three long months of nursing her under the guidance of a local animal doctor, the leg recovered. It wasn’t only Sierra’s leg that needed to recover; Sierra needed to relearn how to trust people. Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats. Terasa kept providing Sierra with many treats, but none passed the sniff test. Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen. The cookies were a hit with Sierra and other horses, sending Terasa’s life in a new direction. Her treats, called “Barnies”, were sold to a local store and like hotcakes, within months local businessmen began demanding for more. Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her operation to an Oshawa company. Then a serious health problem threatened to ruin her plans. Terasa called upon the firm decision that had helped her save Sierra to help her overcome her own illness. Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa-found a national distributor and Barnies began selling in 144 stores across Canada. And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse. 1.Why did Terasa create her own cookies? A.To show superb cooking skills. B.To provide a special diet for Sierra. C.To build a relationship with the horse. D.To lay the foundation for her business. 2.Which best describes Terasa according to paragraph 3? A.Generous. B.Determined. C.Confident. D.Pessimistic. 3.Why is the last paragraph an effective conclusion? A.It raises a valuable question. B.It provides surprising information. C.It returns to the topic of the opening paragraph. D.It continues the focus of the paragraph before it. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.A remarkable auction B.A famous food company. C.A rescue of a weak horse. D.A career from previous devotion. 【答案】1.C 2.B 3.C 4.D 【解析】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了Terasa Hill在一场拍卖会上拍下赛马Sierra,并在之后救治了她受伤的身体和心灵,同时促使她成功开创了自己的公司的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Terasa thought the best way to win Sierra’s trust and fondness was to feed her treats.(Terasa认为赢得Sierra信任和喜爱的最好方法就是喂她吃东西)”及“Desperate, Terasa experimented by making her own mixture of molasses and grains, which she baked in her own kitchen.

(“她是我见过的最美丽的事物,尽管她的一条腿受伤了,”Terasa说)”及最后一段“And what about Sierra, the inspiration for all this success and change? The horse has fully recovered and has become a wonderful riding horse.(那Sierra呢,她是所有这些成功和改变的灵感来源?这匹马已经完全康复,成为了一匹了不起的鞍马)”可推知,第一段讲述Terasa是一个有计划的人,但是一匹受伤的马的出现让她打破了常规,最后一段描述这匹马恢复了,这匹马也是Terasa事业上成功和自我改变的来源。文章最后一段回到了开头一段的主题,形成了首尾呼应,使得文章结构完整。故选C项。 4.主旨大意题。根据第三段描述Terasa做饼干与马Sierra建立起联系及第四段中“Terasa’s kitchen was no longer big enough for the increased demand, moving her operation to an Oshawa company.(Terasa的厨房已经无法满足不断增长的需求,于是她把厨房搬到了奥沙瓦的一家公司)”和第五段中“Family and friends came to her rescue and kept Barnies Ltd. going. Almost a year later, healthy and more resolute than ever, Terasa found a national distributor and Bainies began selling in 144 stores across Canada.(家人和朋友来救她,让巴尼有限公司继续经营下去。大约一年后,在比以往任何时候都更健康、更坚定的情况下,Terasa找到了一个全国经销商,巴尼开始在加拿大各地的144家商店销售)”并结合全文内容可知,本文介绍了Terasa全心投入救了一只马,在这其中开创了公司Barnies Ltd.的故事,即,她从之前的投入和奉献中获得了她的事业,并且成功了。因此,选项D“A career from previous devotion.(从之前的奉献中发展出来的事业)”最能概括文章的主旨大意。故选D项。 9 Young children typically struggle to stay calm in emergencies (紧急情况) , yet Savannah was an exception. Five-year-old Savannah found herself in a difficult situation that no child should ever meet with. But how she behaved went beyond everyone’s expectations. Savannah stayed up late watching a movie while her mother was away on a business trip. During the movie night, she sensed something was wrong—instead of the expected pleasant smell, she heard something dropping heavily down on the floor in the kitchen. With the nonstop barking (吠叫) of their pet dog, Lou, her curiosity led her to the kitchen, where she discovered her father lying on the floor in total silence, holding his chest (胸膛) tightly in obvious pain. Extremely scared but remembering her parents’ advice about emergencies, she knew she had to do something. Savannah quickly called emergency services, using the kitchen wall phone. Her parents had wisely equipped her with enough knowledge about similar situations, teaching her the steps to take in an emergency. That guidance now proved invaluable, allowing her to act quickly and calmly under pressure. Jason, an operator with 11 years of experience, was amazed at Savannah’s behavior during the emergency call. She told him how her father looked and mentioned his difficulty in breathing and chest pains. That information allowed Jason to judge the situation quickly and believe the emergency was a heart condition. Savannah stayed in constant communication with Jason until an ambulance arrived. She even unlocked the front door to ensure the medical team could enter quickly and without any delay, playing an important role in managing the situation and ensuring her father received the necessary help immediately. 1.What was the first sign that warned Savannah? A.The appearance of an unfamiliar smell. B.The loud cry from her father. C.The unusual noise from the kitchen. D.The absence of her pet dog. 2.Why was Savannah able to respond to the situation properly? A.She received medical training from school. B.Her mother instructed her on the phone. C.She had experienced a similar situation before. D.Her parents had prepared her for emergencies. 3.What did Savannah do during the call? A.She described her father’s condition. B.She performed first aid on her father. C.She broke down under too much pressure. D.She asked her father for guidance. 4.What message does the text deliver? A.Capability knows no age. B.Many hands make light work. C.Late is better than never. D.All roads lead to Rome. 【答案】1.C 2.D 3.A 4.A 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。5岁女孩萨凡纳在父亲突发急病时,凭借父母教的应急知识冷静报警,表现远超预期。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Savannah stayed up late watching a movie while her mother was away on a business trip. During the movie night, she sensed something was wrong—instead of the expected pleasant smell, she heard something dropping heavily down on the floor in the kitchen. With the nonstop barking (吠叫) of their pet dog, Lou, her curiosity led her to the kitchen, where she discovered her father lying on the floor in total silence, holding his chest (胸膛) tightly in obvious pain. (在电影之夜,她感觉到不对劲——没有预期的香味,而是听到厨房地板上有重物掉落的声音。随着宠物狗卢的不停吠叫,她的好奇心促使她走向厨房,在那里她发现她的父亲完全沉默地躺在地板上,紧紧地抱着他的胸膛,明显感到疼痛。)”可知,萨凡纳注意到的第一个异常信号是厨房传来的重物掉落声和狗的吠叫,即“不寻常的噪音”。故选C项。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Her parents had wisely equipped her with enough knowledge about similar situations, teaching her the steps to take in an emergency. That guidance now proved invaluable, allowing her to act quickly and calmly under pressure.(她的父母明智地让她掌握了应对类似情况的足够知识,教她在紧急情况下该采取的步骤。事实证明,这种指导非常宝贵,使她能够在压力下迅速冷静地行动。)”可知,萨凡纳能够正确应对危机的原因是父母提前为她进行了应急知识教育。故选D项。 3.细节理解题。根据第四段“Jason, an operator with 11 years of experience, was amazed at Savannah’s behavior during the emergency call. She told him how her father looked and mentioned his difficulty in breathing and chest pains.(拥有11年经验的接线员杰森对萨凡纳在紧急呼叫中的表现感到惊讶。她告诉他父亲的样子,并提到他呼吸困难和胸痛。)”可知,萨凡纳在电话中完整描述了父亲的外貌和症状,为判断病情提供了关键信息。故选A项。 4.推理判断题。通读全文可知,全文围绕5岁女孩萨凡纳在父亲突发急病时冷静报警、救助父亲的事件展开,通过最后一段“She even unlocked the front door to ensure the medical team could enter quickly(她甚至打开前门确保医疗团队能快速进入)”等细节,展现了年幼孩子在紧急情况下的能力。文中第一段“how she behaved went beyond everyone’s expectations(她的表现超出了所有人的预期)”直接点明主题,即能力并非由年龄决定。故选A项。 10 On 3 January, British Army officer Preet Chandi made history by becoming the first woman of colour to complete a solo expedition across Antarctica to the South Pole. Chandi, who calls herself Polar Preet, set off on her journey on 24 November 2021. Writing on her website (polarpreet.com). Chandi said she was inspired to go to Antarctica because she didn’t know much about the continent and wanted to inspire others. Chandi spent two years preparing for the trip. Her training involved dragging tires around the streets near her home in Derby, England, and a trip to Greenland to get used to cold weather. Chandi travelled a total of 700 miles in 40 days, arriving 5 days ahead of schedule. She faced winds of 60 miles per hour and temperatures of -50℃ while dragging a 90-kilogram sled. Along the way, Chandi recorded daily voice messages, which people can hear on her website. In her final voice recording, Chandi said, “This expedition was always about so much more than me. I wanted to encourage people to push boundaries and believe in themselves. I’m really proud that I`m an Indian woman doing something that isn’t expected.” She added, “Everybody starts somewhere, and the more you do, the more you realize you’re capable of.” Chandi now plans to set up an “adventure grant”, using money raised for the trip. This grant will give money to women of any age or background who want to go on an adventure. It can be for any adventure, any unique adventure that is pushing some kind of boundary. It doesn’t have to be a polar expedition. And Chandi hopes it is something that will continue year after year after year. 1.What inspired Preet Chandi to go to Antarctica? A.Her aspiration to set a record for the longest solo journey in Antarctica. B.Her dream of conquering the continent of Antarctica.

D.Her wish to raise funds for adventurous women. 2.Which of the following was NOT a challenge Chandi faced during the expedition? A.Terrible weather conditions. B.Having no communication devices. C.Making great physical efforts. D.The long journey. 3.Why did Preet Chandi establish an “adventure grant”? A.To reward women of any age or background for their hard work. B.To financially aid women for any expeditions challenging limits. C.To sponsor a polar excursion involving many adventures. D.To make a long-term initiative for women’s rights. 【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 【解析】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了英国陆军军官Preet Chandi成为第一位独自穿越南极洲到达南极的有色人种女性的历史性成就。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段“Writing on her website (polarpreet.com). Chandi said she was inspired to go to Antarctica because she didn’t know much about the continent and wanted to inspire others.(Chandi在她的网站(polarpreet.com)上写道,她之所以受到启发去南极洲,是因为她对这片大陆了解不多,并希望激励其他人)”可知,Preet Chandi对这片大陆的了解有限,并渴望激励他人,这激励了她去南极洲。故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Chandi travelled a total of 700 miles in 40 days, arriving 5 days ahead of schedule. She faced winds of 60 miles per hour and temperatures of -50℃ while dragging a 90-kilogram sled.(Chandi在40天内总共行驶了700英里,比原计划提前了5天到达。她在拖着一个90公斤重的雪橇时,面临着每小时60英里的风速和零下50摄氏度的低温)”可知,Chandi在探险期间面临了漫长的旅程、恶劣的天气条件和付出了巨大的体力。“B项:没有通信设备。”不是她面临的挑战。故选B。 3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Chandi now plans to set up an “adventure grant”, using money raised for the trip. This grant will give money to women of any age or background who want to go on an adventure. It can be for any adventure, any unique adventure that is pushing some kind of boundary. It doesn’t have to be a polar expedition.(Chandi现在计划用为这次旅行筹集的资金设立一个“冒险基金”。这个基金将为任何年龄或背景的想要去冒险的女性提供资金。它可以是任何冒险,任何独特的冒险,这些冒险正在挑战某种界限。它不一定是极地探险)”可知,Preet Chandi设立“冒险基金”是为了给任何挑战极限的探险活动提供资金援助。故选B。 11 Mary Kay was born in Texas in 1918. For much of her childhood, she cared for her sick father while her mother worked long hours at a restaurant. Mary Kay married Ben Rogers and had three children. But their marriage ended after Ben returned from World War Ⅱ. To support her children, Mary Kay started selling products. One night, at Ova Heath Spoonemore’s home, she tried some homemade skin care products developed by Spoonemore’s father. Mary Kay liked them and bought the rights for $500. And in 1963, The Mary Kay Cosmetics Company began operating in her hometown. The company sold skin care products through home and office demonstrations. Independent sales representatives bought products from the company and sold them at higher prices. Mary Kay also made sure that experienced representatives would get part of the earnings of the new ones they brought in. By 1965, the company was selling almost one million dollars in products. Mary Kay Cosmetics became one of the most successful direct sellers of skin care products in America. It continues to have sales offices and representatives in many different countries. Mary Kay aimed to grow sales based on the idea that it is best to compete against yourself, which means every individual is trying to beat their own sales records. Prizes for high sales marks included special paid holidays and jewelry. Until a few years ago, a pink Cadillac was a top prize. After her third husband died of cancer in 1980, she wanted to help find a cure for the disease. At first, she helped organizations raise money for research. Later, she started a foundation to support research on cancers affecting women. In 2001, the company and foundation expanded their goals to help prevent violence against women. She worked in her business until she died in 2001. Sales representatives say Mary Kay developed a way for women to earn money and still spend time with their families. 1.Why did Mary Kay sell products on her own? A.She had an eagerness for sale. B.She was inspired by her mother. C.She needed to support her children. D.She wanted to start a family business. 2.What was special about Mary Kay’s sales method? A.She used direct selling.

D.The impact of Mary Kay on the beauty industry. 【答案】1.C 2.A 3.B 4.A 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了玫琳凯的人生故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段“But their marriage ended after Ben returned from World War Ⅱ. To support her children, Mary Kay started selling products.(但是他们的婚姻在本从第二次世界大战回来后就结束了。为了供养她的孩子们,玫琳凯开始销售产品。)”可知,离婚后为了抚养孩子,她开始销售产品。故选C。 2.细节理解题。根据第二段“And in 1963, The Mary Kay Cosmetics Company began operating in her hometown. The company sold skin care products through home and office demonstrations. Independent sales representatives bought products from the company and sold them at higher prices. (1963年,玫琳凯化妆品公司开始在她的家乡运营。该公司通过家庭和办公室演示销售护肤品。独立销售代表从公司购买产品,并以更高的价格出售。)”和常识可知,玫琳凯的销售方法是直销。故选A。 3.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sales representatives say Mary Kay developed a way for women to earn money and still spend time with their families. (销售代表表示,玫琳凯开发了一种方法,让女性既能赚钱,又能与家人共度时光。)”这表明她通过直销模式让女性在兼顾家庭的同时获得经济收入,即“经济自由”。故选B。 4.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,全文按时间顺序讲述了玫琳凯的童年、婚姻、创业历程、公益事业及对女性的影响,核心是她的个人生平。所以A选项“玫琳凯的人生故事”符合文章大意,故选A。 12 Last week I went to Corsica with my friends on vacation.

We had a picnic, went for a long walk along the coast and took lots of pictures. Corsica is famous for being Nepoleon’s birthplace, so we also went to the Maison Bonaparte. It was the home of the Bonaparte family. In fact, it was a museum when we visited it. One day we took the local train to another beautiful place named Corte which belongs to Corsica. We visited the citadel (城堡) and the museum where we learnt more about Corsican history and enjoyed the beautiful views of the city.
