专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） （24-25八年级上·重庆南岸·月考）Standing at the foot of the big mountains, I know that real adventure (冒险) often starts with beautiful things in the nature (自然). Everyone has their own favorite place, and I also want to find mine. Last month I went to a beautiful mountain with great expectation. Along the way, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to watch the fantastic view (风景). However, when I arrived there, I found there were so many people and the noisy sounds made me very sad. I expected to feel the beauty of nature in a quiet place, but now it was much too noisy. But I didn’t give up and went on climbing the mountain. As I walked on, there were fewer people and the view became more and more beautiful. When I reached another place called Mount Greenview, I saw a place full of green plants and colorful flowers. The sense of peace was growing up from the bottom of my heart at that moment. Then I started climbing. I couldn’t wait to see more. The view from the top made me feel like I was in Alice’s Wonderland. After enjoying the view for a while, I decided to go on my journey and headed for a quiet lake. Along the way, I was so happy that I even sang a song. The water there was so clear that I could even see the beautiful stones in the lake. Ducks swam slowly and quietly. I rested on the grass and enjoyed the nice moment. This trip shows me that we can find beautiful things in places we don’t think of. Sometimes, looking for a great place is as good as getting to that place. So stop waiting and get moving to enjoy the beautiful view as soon as possible. 1．Which was the first place the writer visited? A．A place filled with noisy people. B．Mount Greenview. C．The top of the mountain. D．A quiet lake. 2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean? A．The view was so peaceful that the writer wanted to sleep. B．The view was so amazing that the writer felt it like a dream. C．The view was so common that the writer felt nothing special. D．The view was so terrible that the writer wanted to leave. 3．Which shows the changes of the writer’s feelings best in the passage? A． B． C． D． 4．What can we learn from the writer’s trip? A．Mountains are always the best place to find beautiful things. B．Singing songs can make the journey more enjoyable. C．People can find beautiful things in unexpected places.

It is serious. Try again, Louis! Perhaps you’re not doing your best.” said his father. ②Louis tried again but no sound came from his throat (喉咙). He shook his head, sadly. ③“Watch me!” said the father. He raised his neck and cried ko-hoh so loudly that everyone for miles around heard it. ④“Let me hear you go beep!” he ordered, “Say beep loudly!” Louis tried. No sound came. ⑤“Well,” said the father, “I guess it’s no use. I guess you are dumb.” ⑥When he heard the word “dumb”, Louis felt like crying. The father saw that he had hurt Louis’s feelings. “You misunderstand me, my son,” he said in a comforting voice, “ ▲ . If I called you a dumb bunny, that meant I had a poor opinion of your intelligence (智力). In fact, you are perhaps the brightest, smartest, most intelligent of all my babies. Words sometimes have two meanings. The word ‘dumb’ which I said means a person can’t say anything. Do you understand?” ⑦Louis nodded his head. He felt a little better, and he was very thankful to his father for explaining the word had two meanings. But he was still unhappy. ⑧“Do not let a sadness around you, Louis,” said the father, “Swans must be cheerful, beautiful and brave. Remember that young people always face some defects. And you just have a speech defect. But I’m quite sure you will overcome it. Besides, the world is full of talkers, but it’s hard to find anyone who listens. I promise that you can pick up more information while listening than while talking.” ⑨After hearing what his father said, ...

But I’m quite sure you will overcome it.”和选项可知，需要克服的应是缺陷，由此可知第八段中带下划线的“defects”的意思是“缺陷”，和Problems“问题”的意思类似。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Swans must be cheerful, beautiful and brave.

I had never been camping before, so I felt both excited and nervous. My younger brother Jake, however, was jumping for joy, already imagining the adventure. Early Saturday morning, we packed our tent, sleeping bags, and plenty of snacks into the car. The two-hour drive took us far from the noisy city into peaceful countryside. Tall pine trees stood like quiet guards as we entered the forest. When we arrived, Dad gave me an important job. “Emma, you’ll lead us to the campsite (营地) using this map,” he said. My hands shook as I unfolded (打开) the map — I’d never done this before! Jake helped by pointing at landmarks like special-shaped trees and colorful flowers. After some wrong turns, we finally found our perfect spot by a beautiful lake. While Dad and Jake worked on setting up our blue tent, Mom taught me how to collect good firewood. “Look for dry branches about this thick,” she said, showing me with her fingers. I found some interesting things too-shiny rocks, fuzzy caterpillars (毛毛虫), and even a bird’s nest! As the sun began to set, we built our campfire. The dancing flames made funny shadows on our faces while Mom showed us how to cook noodles over the fire. Just when our food was ready, disaster struck-a sudden rainstorm!

Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. “How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible. Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! ” she said. Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now not more than two feet high, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon. Alice was in a sad fear at the quick change. “Things are worse,” said the poor girl, “I was never so small as this. How can I get out?” As she said these words, she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin (下巴) in salt water—her own tears.

There were two people outside the house who were looking sad. “The mother was sitting on the grass with her baby, and I asked her if she was all right. She said, ‘My other baby is still inside the burning (燃烧) house,’ and I thought, ‘Oh no, I have to save the baby.’ That was what I had to do,” said John. As he walked around the house, he tried to enter (进去) through the side door. But the smoke and the fire were too strong and he couldn’t get into it. At the back of the house, another door was open and John crawled (爬行) in to look for the baby but had to come back because of the fire. He asked the mother where she had last seen her baby. Then he went back into the fire again to look for the baby, but he couldn’t find it as there was little time and air left. He thought about saving himself, but changed his mind when he heard the baby crying. He moved towards the sound, held the baby and did his best to run out. After they made it out of the house safely, the mother kept thanking him. “I feel great that I saved the baby. The mother doesn’t have to be sad about losing her child. Today, that baby gets to live,” John said. “People are calling to say I did a great job, but I want to say I would do it for anyone. We all need help sometimes.” 1．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Taking good care of the mother. B．Saving the baby inside the house. C．Calling the firemen to put out the fire. D．Entering the house through the door. 2．How many times did John enter the burning house? A．Once. B．Twice. C．Three times. D．Four times. 3．What is the right order of the following things?     ① John got many calls. ②John knew where the baby was.     ③ John carried the baby and ran out. ④John got into the house from the back door. A．②①④③ B．④①②③ C．④②③① D．②③④① 4．John’s words in the last paragraph show that he is a ________ person. A．kind B．serious C．clever D．creative 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了John Stickovich在上班途中看到一栋房子着火，他勇敢地冲进火场，最终成功救出婴儿的故事。他的行为展现了勇敢和善良的品质。 1．词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“She said, ‘My other baby is still inside the burning (燃烧) house,’ and I thought, ‘Oh no, I have to save the baby.’ That was what I had to do,”可知，母亲说她的另一个孩子还在着火的房子里，John觉得他必须去救那个孩子，因此“that”指代的是“救房子里的婴儿”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As he walked around the house, he tried to enter (进去) through the side door. But the smoke and the fire were too strong and he couldn’t get into it. At the back of the house, another door was open and John crawled (爬行) in to look for the baby but had to come back because of the fire.”以及第四段“Then he went back into the fire again to look for the baby...He moved towards the sound, held the baby and did his best to run out.”可知，John第一次尝试从侧门进入，因浓烟大火失败；第二次又进去找，因火势被迫退出；第三次进入火场循哭声救出婴儿。因此，John进入着火的房子三次。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“At the back of the house, another door was open and John crawled (爬行) in to look for the baby”可知，John从后门进入房子，即④；根据文章第四段“He asked the mother where she had last seen her baby.”可知，John询问婴儿的母亲最后一次看到孩子是在哪里，即②；根据文章第四段“He moved towards the sound, held the baby and did his best to run out.”可知，John抱着婴儿跑了出来，即③；根据文章最后一段“People are calling to say I did a great job”可知，John接到了很多电话，即①。因此，正确的顺序是④②③①。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“People are calling to say I did a great job, but I want to say I would do it for anyone. We all need help sometimes.”可知，John认为他愿意为任何人做这样的事，因为每个人有时都需要帮助，这表明他是一个善良的人。故选A。 （24-25八年级下·浙江温州·期中） When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I said without thinking twice, “No. Tai Chi is for grandparents.” But after the first few classes, I learned how wrong I was—it was amazing! The first few Tai Chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination (想象), with creative names like “White Crane Spreading Its Wings” and “Golden Rooster Standing On One Leg”. When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me the history of Tai Chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist (道家), first got the idea of Tai Chi moves after watching a fight between a bird and a snake. About four hundred years later, Chen Wangting developed Tai Chi according to kungfu moves. Some of these kungfu moves copied animal actions (动作). That’s why some Tai Chi moves are named after animals. However, after a few weeks, I grew bored and ached from making the same moves again and again. Luckily, my coach was kind. He taught me how to relax my muscles (肌肉) and pay attention to the peace of mind. Slowly, I improved and even learned harder moves. My coach said Tai Chi balanced (平衡) yin and yang through slow, opposite actions: up and down, left and right, forward and backward. This brought both balance in the body and calmness in mind. My love for Tai Chi grew stronger than ever. Thanks to a year of practice, great changes have taken place in myself. I sleep better and feel more active, even though I am busy with study. Tai Chi has made me happier and more confident when I face problems. I’ll certainly keep practising—it’s a lifelong gift! 1．Why did the writer say no to the Tai Chi Club at first? A．Because he thought Tai Chi was for the old. B．Because he didn’t know how to play Tai Chi. C．Because playing Tai Chi was too hard for him. D．Because playing Tai Chi was too slow and soft. 2．What has the writer learned in the Tai Chi Club? A．Tai Chi is famous because of its interesting names. B．Zhang Sanfeng developed fun and easy Tai Chi moves. C．The balance of yin and yang relaxes the body and the mind. D．Chen Wangting watched a fight between a bird and a snake. 3．How did the writer’s love for learning Tai Chi change? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The importance of Tai Chi. B．The advice on learning Tai Chi. C．The interesting moves of Tai Chi. D．The experiences of learning Tai Chi. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者学习太极的经历及心理变化：从开始认为太极是老年人应该学的，到渐渐了解和喜欢上太极，中间遇到困难想放弃的时候，通过教练耐心的指导，最后真正懂得了太极的好处和内涵。 1．细节理解题。根据“When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I said without thinking twice, ‘No. Tai Chi is for grandparents.’”可知，作者一开始不想学太极是因为他认为那是老年人学的东西。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“My coach said Tai Chi balanced (平衡 ) yin and yang through slow, opposite actions: up and down, left and right, forward and backward. This brought both balance in the body and calmness in mind. My love for Tai Chi grew stronger than ever.”可知，作者在太极俱乐部学到了阴阳的平衡可以使身体和心灵得到放松。故选C。 3．推理判断题。根据“No. Tai Chi is for grandparents.”，“The first few Tai Chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination (想象)”，“However, after a few weeks, I grew bored and ached from making the same moves again and again.”及“My love for Tai Chi grew stronger than ever.”可知，作者对太极的喜爱是从开始的低到高，中间遇到困难时又变低，最后经过教练的耐心引导变成了一生所爱，选项D的曲线变化符合描述。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者学习太极的经历和心理变化。故选D。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） （24-25八年级上·重庆南岸·月考）Standing at the foot of the big mountains, I know that real adventure (冒险) often starts with beautiful things in the nature (自然).

It was a great feeling to arrive in Paris and see the city full of Christmas lights. On the first day, we stayed in a hotel in the north of Paris. We were pleased with our hotel, but we decided to check the prices of other hotels. The next morning, we walked around the city. I saw a very nice building. Its name was Hotel de Ville.

I had never been camping before, so I felt both excited and nervous. My younger brother Jake, however, was jumping for joy, already imagining the adventure. Early Saturday morning, we packed our tent, sleeping bags, and plenty of snacks into the car. The two-hour drive took us far from the noisy city into peaceful countryside.

Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake. “How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her. Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir....” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible.

The air buzzed (喧闹)—not with insects, but with voices, cameras, and the weight of something about to begin. Roy’s heart beat like a drum. He looked out at the people gathering for the pancake house ground-breaking ceremony (仪式). Behind him stood the company men and the reporters. And under his feet—hidden underground—were the tiny burrows (洞穴) of the owls. No sign marked them. No fence protected them. They asked nothing, made no sound, yet now heavy machines waited, ready to destroy (破坏) their living area. He thought of Mullet Fingers, the wild boy who cared about animals more than himself. He thought of brave Beatrice who helped even when it was hard. Roy had tried to stay out of trouble. He liked quiet. But now, staying quiet didn’t feel right. He stepped up to the microphone (话筒). “Excuse me,” he said, voice shaking. “Before you dig…you should know the truth.” The crowd (人群) grew quiet. “There are owls living here,” Roy said. “They’re small. They’re scared. And if you build here, you’ll destroy their homes.” Someone in the crowd laughed. A reporter asked, “How do you know that?” “Because I saw them. I stood right there and watched them. They live here. They belong here. And they matter.” The manager stepped forward, “This is not your business, kid.” Roy turned to face him. His fear turned into something else—strength. “It’s my business. It’s everyone’s business. We can’t just destroy what we don’t see. Progress should not come at the cost of wonder,” he said. His hands stopped shaking. People in the crowd began whispering. One mother held her child’s hand. A teacher nodded. Even the manager looked uncertain. Roy didn’t know what would happen next. But he did what he could. He spoke the truth. Roy used to be scared. But doing the right thing made him stronger.

Get ready for it!” “Did you hear that?” the children said. “The King is coming. He may look over the wall and see our playground, we must put it in order.” The playground was sadly dirty, so the children worked hard until it was clean and tidy.

It was too old for this childish action. “I can buy lunch at school,” I said, but she gave me a bag. There was a lunchbox with a handwritten note, “Love you, my brave girl.” One rainy Tuesday, I threw the unopened lunchbox into my locker (柜子). That afternoon, my stomach ached during math class. Reaching into my backpack for money, my fingers reached against…a second lunchbox? Inside lay a warm cup of chicken soup, a cheese sandwich cut into stars, and a note, “Love you, my brave girl.” I checked my locker, and my first lunchbox was still there. How did the second one get in my bag? At dinner, Mom acted as usual. The same thing happened on Thursday when I “forgot” my lunch again, but another secret meal appeared, this time with my favorite mango slices (片). I started checking her: leaving the lunchbox at home, hiding it in different places. Like magic, another lunchbox always appeared in my backpack. My curiosity (好奇) turned to worry when I found medicine in Mom’s wallet. “Just vitamins,” she said quickly. That night, I heard her whispering (小声说) to Dad, “…the treatments are working, but my memory might be worse…” The next morning, I went downstairs quietly. Looking through the kitchen window, I saw Mom pack two exactly the same boxes, one into my bag, one into my backpack. Then she looked quietly at both, her hands trembling (发抖的). She didn’t remember doing it twice. Tears in my eyes as I finally understood: her “Over-protectiveness” wasn’t smothering (溺爱), but it was love fighting against her worse memory.

Those rides are so fast that the people riding them shout the whole way. But recently, my son decided he was going to ride one, although he was still afraid. He sat next to me on the roller coaster, and I could almost hear his heart beating. That roller coaster was almost too fast for me! When the ride was finally over and we were leaving, my son kept saying again and again in excitement, “Dad, I conquered (征服) my fear!” Many people don’t know that on the other side of our fear is a much better life for us.

The first few Tai Chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination (想象), with creative names like “White Crane Spreading Its Wings” and “Golden Rooster Standing On One Leg”. When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me the history of Tai Chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist (道家), first got the idea of Tai Chi moves after watching a fight between a bird and a snake. About four hundred years later, Chen Wangting developed Tai Chi according to kungfu moves. Some of these kungfu moves copied animal actions (动作). That’s why some Tai Chi moves are named after animals. However, after a few weeks, I grew bored and ached from making the same moves again and again. Luckily, my coach was kind. He taught me how to relax my muscles (肌肉) and pay attention to the peace of mind. Slowly, I improved and even learned harder moves. My coach said Tai Chi balanced (平衡) yin and yang through slow, opposite actions: up and down, left and right, forward and backward. This brought both balance in the body and calmness in mind. My love for Tai Chi grew stronger than ever. Thanks to a year of practice, great changes have taken place in myself. I sleep better and feel more active, even though I am busy with study. Tai Chi has made me happier and more confident when I face problems. I’ll certainly keep practising—it’s a lifelong gift! 1．Why did the writer say no to the Tai Chi Club at first? A．Because he thought Tai Chi was for the old. B．Because he didn’t know how to play Tai Chi. C．Because playing Tai Chi was too hard for him. D．Because playing Tai Chi was too slow and soft. 2．What has the writer learned in the Tai Chi Club? A．Tai Chi is famous because of its interesting names. B．Zhang Sanfeng developed fun and easy Tai Chi moves. C．The balance of yin and yang relaxes the body and the mind. D．Chen Wangting watched a fight between a bird and a snake. 3．How did the writer’s love for learning Tai Chi change? A． B． C． D． 4．What’s the main idea of the passage? A．The importance of Tai Chi. B．The advice on learning Tai Chi. C．The interesting moves of Tai Chi. D．The experiences of learning Tai Chi. / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
