【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述了儿童阅读如同冒险这一观点,以《爱丽丝梦游仙境》引出儿童文学从注重道德教化到强调趣味性的转变,介绍“阅读即玩耍”理念下文字与插图关系,并说明无字图画书在儿童文学中的特点与优势。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This book is often recognized as the one that marked the end of the era (时代) of moralism in children’s literature, bringing in a new era where authors began producing entertaining children’s books.(这本书常被视作标志着儿童文学道德主义时代终结的作品,开启了一个新的时代,在这个时代作家们开始创作充满趣味的儿童书籍)”可知,《爱丽丝梦游仙境》在儿童文学领域以从道德说教向有趣故事的转变而闻名。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The idea of “reading as play” doesn’t need text and illustrations to perfectly match; in fact, when the pictures only mirror what the text narrates, the experience is less intense than when there are gaps between those two elements.(“阅读即玩耍”这一理念并不要求文字与插图完美匹配;事实上,当图片仅仅反映文字所叙述的内容时,其阅读体验不如二者存在差异时那般强烈)”以及作者通过列举《罗西的散步》和《野兽国》这两个例子,进一步说明该理念能为读者提供有趣的探索空间,作者对此持支持态度。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The removal of words makes it easier to convey (表达) difficult, unspeakable things.(去掉文字使得传达难以表述的、复杂的事物变得更为容易)”可知,无字图画书的一个优势在于它们能更轻松地呈现复杂主题。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。文章围绕儿童文学展开,论述了文字与图像之间的关系,包括“阅读即玩耍”理念下文字与插图的相互作用,以及无字图画书这种文字与图像特殊结合形式的特点与意义,就如同文字与图像之间形成了一个供孩子们探索的“游乐场”。所以C选项“A playground between words and images (文字与图像间的游乐场)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

六、阅读理解
(25-26高二上·江西南昌·期末)Reading, for children, is similar to adventure. The idea of inspiring children’s playful nature dates back to the publication of Lewis Carroll’ s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (爱丽丝梦游仙境) in 1865. Alice’s playful exploration of Wonderland drives the story. There are no clear moral values taught in the book, making it a playground for children to engage with their wildest imagination. This book is often recognized as the one that marked the end of the era (时代) of moralism in children’s literature, bringing in a new era where authors began producing entertaining children’s books.
The idea of “reading as play” doesn’t need text and illustrations to perfectly match; in fact, when the pictures only mirror what the text narrates, the experience is less intense than when there are gaps between those two elements. British illustrator and writer Pat Hutchins’s Rosie’s Walk from 1968, for example, presents two different stories. While the text describes a simple walk taken by Rosie the hen, the illustrations tell the additional story of a fox’s failed attempts to catch Rosie throughout her walk. This parallel (平行的) storytelling is hard to achieve with words alone. Similarly, in Where the Wild Things Are by American author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, the text slowly disappears as the images continue expanding, offering a playful space for the readers to explore the main character’s emotional journey. The lack of directing words allows the young readers to create their own engagement with the characters.
Wordless picture books are a relatively new style in children’s literature. The removal of words makes it easier to convey (表达) difficult, unspeakable things. In Yellow Butterfly, a wordless picture book by Ukrainian illustrator Oleksandr Shatokhin, war is seen through the eyes of a young girl who finds hope in the symbolism of yellow butterflies (蝴蝶). Without words, children can interpret and connect with the story in their own way. The language gap is also broken, allowing kids from anywhere to understand and own the story.
1.What is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland known for in children’s literature?
A.Using images in storytelling.
B.Pioneering the theme of adventure.
C.Shifting from moral lessons to fun stories.
D.Centering on realism and personal growth.
2.What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of “reading as play”?
A.Curious. B.Doubtful. C.Uncaring. D.Supportive.
3.What is an advantage of wordless picture books?
A.They allow children to read faster. B.They present complex topics more easily.
C.They save the author from writing text. D.They help improve children’s drawing skills.
4.What might be a suitable title for the text?
A.The secrets of wordless books
B.An exploration of literary texts
C.A playground between words and images
D.The power of entertainment in children’s literature
【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B 4.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要阐述了儿童阅读如同冒险这一观点,以《爱丽丝梦游仙境》引出儿童文学从注重道德教化到强调趣味性的转变,介绍“阅读即玩耍”理念下文字与插图关系,并说明无字图画书在儿童文学中的特点与优势。
1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This book is often recognized as the one that marked the end of the era (时代) of moralism in children’s literature, bringing in a new era where authors began producing entertaining children’s books.(这本书常被视作标志着儿童文学道德主义时代终结的作品,开启了一个新的时代,在这个时代作家们开始创作充满趣味的儿童书籍)”可知,《爱丽丝梦游仙境》在儿童文学领域以从道德说教向有趣故事的转变而闻名。故选C项。
2.推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The idea of “reading as play” doesn’t need text and illustrations to perfectly match; in fact, when the pictures only mirror what the text narrates, the experience is less intense than when there are gaps between those two elements.(“阅读即玩耍”这一理念并不要求文字与插图完美匹配;事实上,当图片仅仅反映文字所叙述的内容时,其阅读体验不如二者存在差异时那般强烈)”以及作者通过列举《罗西的散步》和《野兽国》这两个例子,进一步说明该理念能为读者提供有趣的探索空间,作者对此持支持态度。故选D项。
3.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The removal of words makes it easier to convey (表达) difficult, unspeakable things.(去掉文字使得传达难以表述的、复杂的事物变得更为容易)”可知,无字图画书的一个优势在于它们能更轻松地呈现复杂主题。故选B项。
4.主旨大意题。文章围绕儿童文学展开,论述了文字与图像之间的关系,包括“阅读即玩耍”理念下文字与插图的相互作用,以及无字图画书这种文字与图像特殊结合形式的特点与意义,就如同文字与图像之间形成了一个供孩子们探索的“游乐场”。所以C选项“A playground between words and images (文字与图像间的游乐场)”最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
七、七选五
(25-26高一上·湖南益阳·期末)It is one of the most famous books in the world; yet it has no story and no interesting characters, no exciting beginning and no satisfying ending. 5 This strangely popular book is one of the most famous dictionaries in the English-speaking world, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).
The OED began in 1857 as just an idea of a group of people. 6 It wasn’t until the late 1870s, when James Murray joined the project, that it began to take shape.
Murray worked in a small metal building called the Scriptorium. 7 Each paper had a word and an example sentence on it. However, progress was slow — Murray and his assistants worked hard, but after five years they had only reached the word ant!
The dictionary was finally completed and published in 1928, as 10 volumes with over 400,000 words. 8 He passed away in 1915 and didn’t see his life’s work finished.
9 Between 1972 and 1986, four more volumes were added with vocabulary and words from other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Today, the OED, with around 600,000 words, exists not only on CD-ROM but also online. It records the history of English and becomes a key part of English-speaking cultures worldwide.
A.Murray was proud of his team’s hard work.
B.Since then, the OED has been updated many times.
C.There, he and his assistants collected millions of papers.
D.Many people wondered why the OED took so long to finish.
E.However, this book keeps being printed and it keeps growing!
F.They wanted an English dictionary showing the history of words.
G.Sadly, James Murray didn’t live to see the dictionary’s publication.

六、阅读理解
(25-26高二上·江西南昌·期末)Reading, for children, is similar to adventure. The idea of inspiring children’s playful nature dates back to the publication of Lewis Carroll’ s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (爱丽丝梦游仙境) in 1865. Alice’s playful exploration of Wonderland drives the story. There are no clear moral values taught in the book, making it a playground for children to engage with their wildest imagination. This book is often recognized as the one that marked the end of the era (时代) of moralism in children’s literature, bringing in a new era where authors began producing entertaining children’s books.
The idea of “reading as play” doesn’t need text and illustrations to perfectly match; in fact, when the pictures only mirror what the text narrates, the experience is less intense than when there are gaps between those two elements. British illustrator and writer Pat Hutchins’s Rosie’s Walk from 1968, for example, presents two different stories. While the text describes a simple walk taken by Rosie the hen, the illustrations tell the additional story of a fox’s failed attempts to catch Rosie throughout her walk. This parallel (平行的) storytelling is hard to achieve with words alone. Similarly, in Where the Wild Things Are by American author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, the text slowly disappears as the images continue expanding, offering a playful space for the readers to explore the main character’s emotional journey. The lack of directing words allows the young readers to create their own engagement with the characters.
Wordless picture books are a relatively new style in children’s literature. The removal of words makes it easier to convey (表达) difficult, unspeakable things. In Yellow Butterfly, a wordless picture book by Ukrainian illustrator Oleksandr Shatokhin, war is seen through the eyes of a young girl who finds hope in the symbolism of yellow butterflies (蝴蝶). Without words, children can interpret and connect with the story in their own way. The language gap is also broken, allowing kids from anywhere to understand and own the story.
1.What is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland known for in children’s literature?
A.Using images in storytelling.
B.Pioneering the theme of adventure.
C.Shifting from moral lessons to fun stories.
D.Centering on realism and personal growth.
2.What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of “reading as play”?
A.Curious. B.Doubtful. C.Uncaring. D.Supportive.
3.What is an advantage of wordless picture books?
A.They allow children to read faster. B.They present complex topics more easily.
C.They save the author from writing text. D.They help improve children’s drawing skills.
4.What might be a suitable title for the text?
A.The secrets of wordless books
B.An exploration of literary texts
C.A playground between words and images
D.The power of entertainment in children’s literature
七、七选五
(25-26高一上·湖南益阳·期末)It is one of the most famous books in the world; yet it has no story and no interesting characters, no exciting beginning and no satisfying ending. 5 This strangely popular book is one of the most famous dictionaries in the English-speaking world, the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).
The OED began in 1857 as just an idea of a group of people. 6 It wasn’t until the late 1870s, when James Murray joined the project, that it began to take shape.
Murray worked in a small metal building called the Scriptorium. 7 Each paper had a word and an example sentence on it. However, progress was slow — Murray and his assistants worked hard, but after five years they had only reached the word ant!
The dictionary was finally completed and published in 1928, as 10 volumes with over 400,000 words. 8 He passed away in 1915 and didn’t see his life’s work finished.
9 Between 1972 and 1986, four more volumes were added with vocabulary and words from other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Today, the OED, with around 600,000 words, exists not only on CD-ROM but also online. It records the history of English and becomes a key part of English-speaking cultures worldwide.
A.Murray was proud of his team’s hard work.
B.Since then, the OED has been updated many times.
C.There, he and his assistants collected millions of papers.
D.Many people wondered why the OED took so long to finish.
E.However, this book keeps being printed and it keeps growing!
F.They wanted an English dictionary showing the history of words.
G.Sadly, James Murray didn’t live to see the dictionary’s publication.
