考前押题04 阅读理解之记叙文 Passage1 One pleasant evening, I was holding Grandpa’s hand and taking a walk in the park. “Where are the peanuts? Give me now!” He suddenly said. How I wished I had some with me! “Oh, my little Tom, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait till they smell the peanuts.” I knew he was lost in one of his memories again. I remembered the stories he told me of how he fed the monkeys when he was a kid. Then, he saw the goldfish! He acted as if he was seeing them for the first time. Poor Grandpa! He fell ill with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) last year. The doctor said it was a lifelong disease which could be harmful to a person’s memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable behavior. But when my parents invited him to stay with us, he turned down and said he liked living alone. One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread. It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us. We tried our best to spend as much time as possible with him, including talking about the things happened around him, doing some body exercises and looking through our family photos. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house.

One day, his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I don’t think you have as many real friends as you think.” Mario disagreed with his grandpa. However, he wasn’t sure what he should do to test it. “I have exactly what you need,” Grandpa said. He left and soon returned. He seemed to be carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing in it. “Take it. This is a very special chair. Because it’s invisible and difficult to sit on. But if you take it to school and you can sit on it, you’ll see its magic and be able to tell who your real friends are.” The next day, Mario took the strange invisible chair to school. At break time, he asked everyone to come. “Nobody moves. You’re about to see something amazing.” And Mario tried sitting on the chair. Without doubt, he fell onto the ground. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. He heard laughter, but he kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground … until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬浮) in mid-air. “Wow! I finally experienced the magic Grandpa talked about!” Mario thought. Looking around, he saw George, Lucas and Diana—three of his best friends—holding him up so that he wouldn’t fall. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as his good friends did nothing.

She returned to Guangzhou after 10 years, thanks to the 14-hour visa-free transit (中转) policy. From Dec 5 to 7, 2023, Onbashi traveled from Cyprus to the Philippines to spend the winter. She made a stop in Guangzhou. “It was a great opportunity to see a country instead of just sitting in the airport during the stop,” Onbashi said. After Onbashi and her husband arrived in Guangzhou, they had their first surprise: the Guangzhou subway app. The last time she visited Guangzhou, there was no such app. She had to look at maps to find out her way. “The app was super user-friendly. We had no trouble traveling by subway,” said Onbashi. While walking on Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street at night, Onbashi was surprised by how modern the city has become. “It felt like being in the future with all the electronic shop signs and electric cars everywhere,” she said. Years back, few electric cars could be seen on the road. “I felt completely safe, even though it was late at night,” Onbashi added. She also saw many local girls walking alone, confirming (证实) her thoughts. “It was a wonderful atmesphere (氛围)!” Welcomed by this sense of safety, she spent lots of time trying different kinds of night market food. Onbashi described her trip as “smooth and easy”. “China is a great place to explore (探索),” she said. She believes that some people are still unsure about traveling to China because they don’t know what the real China looks like. This may be because the foreign media is not showing the full picture. 21．Why did Onbashi return to Guangzhou after ten years? A．To see how the city has changed.

Excited, yet a little nervous, she carefully carried a pork steak to Table 6. Then she saw Kassy, a popular girl from school sitting there with her friends. She started to feel anxious. She immediately ducked behind the front desk to avoid being seen. Even though she was an excellent student, Sarah always felt uncomfortable among her wealthy (富有的) classmates. She remembered how often Kassy used to make fun of her. And she was worried that others might do the same to her if they saw her working at a restaurant. When Sarah’s dad found her hiding, she didn’t know what to say. He took over the food and suggested that she take a rest. Turning back to the kitchen, Sarah felt bad for letting her dad down. To her surprise, Hannah, one of Kassy’s friends, came over and said that she knew how mean Kassy could be. She also praised (称赞) Sarah for her hard work. Her comfort gave Sarah the strength she needed. With confidence, Sarah returned to the dining area and brought the bill to Kassy’s table. When Kassy was about to make fun of her, Hannah did a silly “crab dance” with Sarah and then they laughed together. When crossing the dining room, Sarah realized she didn’t feel embarrassed (难堪的) at all. Whether Kassy liked her family’s restaurant or not, it didn’t matter any more. As Sarah returned to the front desk, she felt proud, knowing that hard work and kindness were what really mattered.

In her other hand, she holds a paper bag. I know this lady. She is the little boy’s grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October. My visitor’s daughter, Nicole who speaks fluent English, is now in Shanghai, but her parents are in the house for the summer with the little boy. Nicole has told her mother that I am having heart surgery (手术) shortly, and the result is that her mother decided I need to be supplied with meals. I know what is inside the paper carrier bag—a Thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost-daily event. It is the best home-delivery service. However, communication between us is somewhat difficult because she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen and almost immediately I found myself in Canada looking at Nicole in Shanghai. Nicole told me that her mother, Wing, wanted to know if the food was all right for me. Wing also asked her daughter to tell me that I should leave the empty dishes on the chair instead of sending them back to her home. I think she believed I was too fragile to do this.

Passage 9 One day, when the sun went down, two blind men were going home from work. “I need to buy some socks,” said one of them suddenly. “Let’s stop at the shop on the corner.” “OK,” replied the other. “I think I’ll buy two or three pairs myself, too.” In the shop, the shop assistant asked them, “What size do you wear, sir? And what color would you like?” “Size Eleven. Give me one pair of black socks and two pairs of white, please,” answered one of them. “And you, sir?” the shop assistant asked the other customer. “The same for me. I wear Size Eleven, too. So, same color same number,” said the second blind man. A moment later they were back in the dark street, each man with the socks he had bought. But just then, a boy riding a bicycle bumped into them. The blind men dropped all the socks on the ground! The six pairs all mixed up. The boy quickly said sorry and left. The two blind men picked up all the socks, but could not tell which were black and which were white. They tried to ask for help but there was no one else in the street.

He saw something shining in the river. It was the necklace! He decided to catch it so that he could get the reward. He put his hand in the dirty river and tried to catch the necklace, but somehow missed it. He tried again. This time he walked into the river and put his whole arm in to catch the necklace. But strangely, he still missed it! He came out and started walking away. Then again he saw the necklace, right there. He decided to give it a final try. He jumped into the dirty water and searched everywhere for the necklace but still he failed. He came out feeling very sad. Just then an old man, who was walking by, saw him and asked what was wrong. At first Robin did not want to share the secret with the old man. But finally he decided to tell the truth. He told the old man about the necklace and how he tried to catch it.

After filling it up, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was shock and fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw: five wasps (黄蜂) building a nest around their gas cap. I suddenly felt scared. I shared the ladies’ fear. Wasps have never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps have attacked (攻击) me while I was cutting the grass, stinging (蛰) me each time I ran over their nests. The worst time, however, was when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it, both of us were being chased and stung by the wasps while we ran away screaming. I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes. She ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease (减轻) the pain before giving us medicine to help us feel better. Still, I knew I couldn’t let fear stop me now. I reached into my pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the wasps buzzed around me. Both of the ladies thanked me for what I did. You can’t let the fear of being stung-either physically or emotionally- keep you from doing what is right. We need to love each other and change the world for the better. And the only way you can do this is through helpful acts and kindness. Don’t let the wasps in your life hold you back. 51．Why was there shock and fear on the women’s faces?

Without paying attention, my brother took a wrong turn. Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us toward a bridge, and we had no way of turning back. To cross the bridge, my brother had to pay. He was clearly upset about the mistake and the cost of $4. As we drove forward, my brother noticed an old black car by the side of the road. A young man was standing nearby, trying to phone someone. I was trying to figure out which way we would go next, but my brother pulled over and asked the man if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire (没气的轮胎). My brother helped him change the flat tire. We started getting to know that the young man was from a neighborhood nearby. He kept thanking us because he really would have no way if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again, pulled out $20, and tried to give it to us. “No, thanks,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on this bridge. We took a wrong turn, but now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to help others.” What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his trouble into active energy. He was able to offer help even in a bad situation. That could only come from a calm mind and an open heart.

But that’s not always the case. When I was about twelve, we were on holiday in Venice. My dad’s a photographer and he said that he was going to get up the following morning at 5 o’clock to take photos. Mum wasn’t interested, but I said I’d go with him, only because he promised I could have the biggest ever bowl of Italian ice cream if I did. Why else would I rise so early? So at 5 a. m. , we left the hotel and started walking. There was almost no one in the streets. As the sun began to come up, Dad started taking photographs and I just looked around. Every time he walked off, I followed him, down small streets and over little bridges. After about an hour and a half, I found we lost our way and felt a bit scared, but Dad just smiled and laughed. “We’re lost!” he said. I told him to get out his map or phone. He looked at me. “Map? Phone? I only brought the camera. Come on, let’s get more lost.” He laughed again. His laughter relaxed me and made me feel safe. We started to walk again. People were appearing on the streets—shops and cafes began to open, and as the sun came up, the narrow (狭窄的) streets started to fill with light. Finally, after about four hours of wandering around, we were back. Mum asked worriedly, “Where have you been?” I said with a big smile, “We got lost.” These days we have so many things to stop us from getting lost—maps, GPS, apps on our phones and so on. But Dad showed me that being lost can sometimes simply be something to enjoy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 61．Why did the writer decide to go with his dad? A．He liked taking photos.

Passage 14 When volunteers Kathy and Ruth walked into our Learning Club four years ago, they thought it as a one-off (一次性事物). But as soon as they met the great group of children, they were all in. Now they are central to the club and have brought about huge changes in the children. Some children don’t have anyone at home who can support their learning. It could be because their single parent is caring for another child with special needs, or any other reasons. So our Learning Club provides a fun out-of-school environment where students receive help with their homework from our volunteers. “If they’re doing something, we give them a lot of praise (赞扬) and encourage them to go on to a next level if they’ re ready. We make afternoon tea for them, mainly just sandwiches and fruit. Then we go out to the library. Usually we’ll get in some reading and homework. Then we’ll do some crafts (手工),” said Kathy. “We mix it up ... We give them lots of encouragement. Then we’ll go on to harder things. So that helps them improve.” Students in need have few chances to meet adults outside their family or teachers. That’s why our volunteers like Kathy and Ruth are so important. They create a safe space where children can open up and feel comfortable asking questions. The best part of Kathy and Ruth’s roles is watching students become more confident in themselves. They will never forget one young student called Karen, who would not look at them, talk or even eat the candy when she first came. By the end of the year, she was taking full part in the activities and had set herself a big goal for the future. “I remember she stood up on stage (舞台) and spoke loudly. She said she wanted to be the Prime Minister (总理) of Australia!” said Kathy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 66．What did Kathy and Ruth plan to do before they first visited Learning Club?

My dad looked worriedly at me and my mom’s voice shook as she said, “You’re going to be just fine, baby girl.” The first two weeks were difficult.

I wanted to be alone. After a while, she asked, “Where are you from?” Half an hour passed. “How many brothers or sisters do you have?” she asked again. Finally, my classmate said the three magic words in the English language: I LOVE READING. Soon I found myself talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax. A few bricks (砖) fell down from my wall of shyness. A few more fell. I started to reach out. The bricks fell and fell and fell. By the end of the program, I was totally different. I ran through the dining hall, I jumped on the chairs, I sang, and I made friends.

Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread. It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us. We tried our best to spend as much time as possible with him, including talking about the things happened around him, doing some body exercises and looking through our family photos.

She’s holding the hand of a little boy. In her other hand, she holds a paper bag. I know this lady. She is the little boy’s grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October. My visitor’s daughter, Nicole who speaks fluent English, is now in Shanghai, but her parents are in the house for the summer with the little boy. Nicole has told her mother that I am having heart surgery (手术) shortly, and the result is that her mother decided I need to be supplied with meals. I know what is inside the paper carrier bag—a Thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with a meal of rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has become an almost-daily event. It is the best home-delivery service. However, communication between us is somewhat difficult because she doesn’t speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen and almost immediately I found myself in Canada looking at Nicole in Shanghai. Nicole told me that her mother, Wing, wanted to know if the food was all right for me. Wing also asked her daughter to tell me that I should leave the empty dishes on the chair instead of sending them back to her home. I think she believed I was too fragile to do this. She tried to tell me last time with the help of gestures, but I was unable to understand. Wing doesn’t speak English, but her kindness needs no translation. 36．The story most probably happens in ________. A．January B．April C．July D．October 37．Nicole is the writer’s ________.

After filling it up, I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women were standing back from their car. There was shock and fear on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw: five wasps (黄蜂) building a nest around their gas cap. I suddenly felt scared. I shared the ladies’ fear. Wasps have never been friends of mine. Several times these wasps have attacked (攻击) me while I was cutting the grass, stinging (蛰) me each time I ran over their nests. The worst time, however, was when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it, both of us were being chased and stung by the wasps while we ran away screaming. I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes. She ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease (减轻) the pain before giving us medicine to help us feel better. Still, I knew I couldn’t let fear stop me now. I reached into my pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the wasps buzzed around me. Both of the ladies thanked me for what I did. You can’t let the fear of being stung-either physically or emotionally- keep you from doing what is right. We need to love each other and change the world for the better. And the only way you can do this is through helpful acts and kindness. Don’t let the wasps in your life hold you back. 51．Why was there shock and fear on the women’s faces?

Without paying attention, my brother took a wrong turn. Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us toward a bridge, and we had no way of turning back. To cross the bridge, my brother had to pay. He was clearly upset about the mistake and the cost of $4. As we drove forward, my brother noticed an old black car by the side of the road. A young man was standing nearby, trying to phone someone. I was trying to figure out which way we would go next, but my brother pulled over and asked the man if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire (没气的轮胎). My brother helped him change the flat tire. We started getting to know that the young man was from a neighborhood nearby. He kept thanking us because he really would have no way if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again, pulled out $20, and tried to give it to us. “No, thanks,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on this bridge. We took a wrong turn, but now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to help others.” What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his trouble into active energy.

It can feel strange to be lost—sometimes very uncomfortable, too. But that’s not always the case. When I was about twelve, we were on holiday in Venice. My dad’s a photographer and he said that he was going to get up the following morning at 5 o’clock to take photos. Mum wasn’t interested, but I said I’d go with him, only because he promised I could have the biggest ever bowl of Italian ice cream if I did. Why else would I rise so early? So at 5 a. m. , we left the hotel and started walking. There was almost no one in the streets. As the sun began to come up, Dad started taking photographs and I just looked around. Every time he walked off, I followed him, down small streets and over little bridges. After about an hour and a half, I found we lost our way and felt a bit scared, but Dad just smiled and laughed. “We’re lost!” he said. I told him to get out his map or phone. He looked at me. “Map? Phone? I only brought the camera. Come on, let’s get more lost.” He laughed again. His laughter relaxed me and made me feel safe. We started to walk again. People were appearing on the streets—shops and cafes began to open, and as the sun came up, the narrow (狭窄的) streets started to fill with light. Finally, after about four hours of wandering around, we were back. Mum asked worriedly, “Where have you been?” I said with a big smile, “We got lost.” These days we have so many things to stop us from getting lost—maps, GPS, apps on our phones and so on.

But as soon as they met the great group of children, they were all in. Now they are central to the club and have brought about huge changes in the children. Some children don’t have anyone at home who can support their learning. It could be because their single parent is caring for another child with special needs, or any other reasons. So our Learning Club provides a fun out-of-school environment where students receive help with their homework from our volunteers. “If they’re doing something, we give them a lot of praise (赞扬) and encourage them to go on to a next level if they’ re ready. We make afternoon tea for them, mainly just sandwiches and fruit. Then we go out to the library. Usually we’ll get in some reading and homework. Then we’ll do some crafts (手工),” said Kathy. “We mix it up ... We give them lots of encouragement. Then we’ll go on to harder things. So that helps them improve.” Students in need have few chances to meet adults outside their family or teachers. That’s why our volunteers like Kathy and Ruth are so important. They create a safe space where children can open up and feel comfortable asking questions. The best part of Kathy and Ruth’s roles is watching students become more confident in themselves. They will never forget one young student called Karen, who would not look at them, talk or even eat the candy when she first came. By the end of the year, she was taking full part in the activities and had set herself a big goal for the future. “I remember she stood up on stage (舞台) and spoke loudly.

I went there because hikes, art, and fields of corn sounded fun to me. When I set out in August, I hugged my parents and said goodbye. “See you in December!” I said. My parents nodded. They were worried—I could tell. It was because they knew me so well. They knew that I had trouble reaching out. They knew that I was shy and I made friends slowly. My dad looked worriedly at me and my mom’s voice shook as she said, “You’re going to be just fine, baby girl.” The first two weeks were difficult. I made half-hearted small talk at meals, and I cried in the shower. For me, being around people all the time was more tiring than a five-mile race. I was out of my comfort zone (舒适区), and I couldn’t go back. One day during the third week, I spent two hours collecting corn with Dorey, one of my classmates. My feelings matched the darkening sky. I wanted to be alone. After a while, she asked, “Where are you from?” Half an hour passed. “How many brothers or sisters do you have?” she asked again. Finally, my classmate said the three magic words in the English language: I LOVE READING. Soon I found myself talking about books I enjoyed reading. I started to relax. A few bricks (砖) fell down from my wall of shyness. A few more fell. I started to reach out. The bricks fell and fell and fell. By the end of the program, I was totally different. I ran through the dining hall, I jumped on the chairs, I sang, and I made friends. That is the wonderful thing about leaving your comfort zone: once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long to find the new normal. When I arrived, people tired me. When I left, I couldn’t stand leaving them. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 96．Why were the writer’s parents worried about her? A．Because she feared to leave home. B．Because she disliked the program.

I started to relax.” 可知，作者开始放松是在谈论喜欢读的书后。故选C。 100．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“That is the wonderful thing about leaving your comfort zone: once you are out of it, it doesn’t take long to find the new normal.”可知，舒适区的美妙之处在于：一旦你走出舒适区，很快就会找到新的常态，所以从她的经历中，作者了解了离开舒适区的喜悦。故选A。 Passage 21 Mark and Bert are good friends for most of their lives.

Then it reached a desert. “I have gone through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean,” she said sadly to herself. At this time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert.

If you like to do it, let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across,”said the desert. “Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like that before. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸汽) across the desert and let it fall as rain. The rain will form a river again,” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature (本质) never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream flied into the open arms of the breeze.
