专题03 阅读理解（记叙文） 主题01 叙事忆旧 Passage 1 （24-25八年级下·北京密云·期末）It was a very sunny day. Molly was picking apples with her dad on the farm. She was careful to pick the big and sweet apples only because she wanted to make the best apple sauce (酱) and win first place in her town’s Best Apple Sauce Competition. She wanted everything to be perfect. “Molly, I am coming!” said Sam, Molly’s little brother, with a small bag in his hand. “Go and pick apples over there.” Molly said coldly, pointing to an old apple tree with small, sour (酸的) apples. She did not want any mistakes with her apple sauce. Sam happily walked away to pick the small apples. Soon he showed Molly his bag and said excitedly, “I have got so many!” Molly did not care. She hoped Sam would stay out of the way so she could rush home and take the perfect apple sauce. As soon as they got home, Molly washed the beautiful apples. Dad helped her cut them and put them into the big pot on the stove. As the apples softened, the kitchen began to smell so sweet. Molly did not care. She hoped Sam would stay out of the way, so she could rush home and make the perfect apple sauce. Suddenly, Sam put his small, sour apples into the pot before Molly could stop him. “No!” Molly cried in anger, trying to pull out Sam’s apples. But it was too late. “It’s OK,” Dad said. “Maybe it won’t be so bad.” But Molly wasn’t so sure. Finally, all the apples turned into apple sauce. Molly refused (拒绝) to try the sauce at first. Dad held a spoon to Molly’s mouth, and she tasted just a little. “Wow!”  her eyes lit up. “This tastes amazing!” Dad smiled. “See? Things may not go as planned. Sometimes mistakes can turn out to be good surprises.” Molly nodded with a shy smile. She hugged Sam and said, “We will win first place together this year.” 1．What kind of apples did Molly pick?

Inside, safe and warm on a soft towel, was Snowball! “I’m sorry,” Jake said quietly, his eyes down. “I thought Snowball was lonely. I wanted to cheer him up at my house for one night. I planned to bring him back tomorrow.” Everyone cheered in happiness. Snowball was safe! Ms. Green smiled. “Snowball belongs to the whole class, Jake.

She found it hard to make new friends and get used to new teachers. She felt the huge buildings were too huge. She decided that she would just remember where her classes were and then try to put the rest of the places out of her mind. All of these changed after a P.E. class. One day in P.E. class, the coach said that everyone had to run one mile around the track (跑道). Riya searched the faces of her classmates for signs of worry. There was nothing she was afraid of more than having to run a whole mile. When the coach blew his whistle (吹口哨), Riya thought most of her classmates would pass her. “It’s just the beginning.” she thought, “I’ll come in last for sure. But what should I do? I cannot just stop here”. Riya started using a mind trick (技巧) on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile”. Instead, she decided to first reach the big tree up ahead.

When the coach gave her a high five and said “Nice work”, Riya was surprised. She could not believe that she had just run a whole mile. As Riya walked back to the school building after P.E., she noticed that she felt less worried about its size. Maybe she would come to know the buildings one after another. All her other worries about new school life seemed to disappear as well because she knew that she would solve problems one lap at a time just like the one-mile run. 1．How was the first week of high school for Riya?

That gave me an idea to suggest to Penny. At school the next morning, I found Penny at her locker. “I thought I would love writing club, but I never have a single idea for a story,” she said. “Well, I have ideas, but I wish I could write perfectly like you do,” I said. “What if we worked on a story together?

I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day. I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed Tony on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object (物体). I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. To my surprise, Tony answered “white”. I couldn’t believe he said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the colour of the object. The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since. My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you’d better be in their shoes.

Before and after school each day, he put on his wet suit, picked up his equipment, swam out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his three-to-six-foot friends. One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured (受伤) by his board. Wilson rushed him to the hospital, where he received 26 stitches (缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose. I was on an airplane flying home from a meeting while Leon’s eye was being stitched. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car. “Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been bad that day. “He’s been in an accident, but he’s going to be fine,” said my husband. A travelling working mother’s worst nightmare (噩梦) had come true. I ran to the car so fast that the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door to see that my youngest son had a patch (眼罩) over his eye and was leaning toward me crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.” I cried in his arms, telling him how awful I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called. “It’s okay, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.” “What?” I asked, confused by his logic. “I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in eight days,” said my son. I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead, I bit my tongue and hoped he would forget about surfing. For the next seven days, he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game. “Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love,” he said. And I gave in. Back then, Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing. Now he’s a man with a passion for surfing. And he’s a man with a responsibility. He is one of the top 25 professional surfers in the world. Passionate people stick to what they love and never give up. 1．What happened to Leon one afternoon while surfing? A．He lost his surfboard. B．He saved another surfer. C．He was injured by his board. D．He was warned by the lifeguard. 2．What did Leon’s mother hope after his accident? A．He should find a new hobby. B．He must take surfing lessons. C．He would forget about surfing. D．He could surf again immediately. 3．What can we learn from Leon? A．Always listen to your parents. B．Stay away from danger. C．Follow the doctor’s advice strictly.

One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many are nothing more than acquaintance (略有交情，熟人) or partners.” Mario agreed to the bet without a second thought. However, he wasn’t sure how to test who were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. “Take this. It’s an invisible (透明的) ‘chair’. If you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you can tell who your real friends are.” his grandpa said. Mario took the special “chair” to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and stood in the middle, with his “chair”. Mario tried hard to sit on the “chair”. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell down many times. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait, just a small problem.” he said. But again he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks. Mario tried many times until, suddenly, he sat in mid-air... Then he finally experienced the magic that his grandfather had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but making fun of him, enjoying his every fall. And there the show came to an end. Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them the magic “chair” test. And he learned true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by. A real friend would be less likely to make fun of us. 1．What bet did Grandpa have with Mario? A．Surprise could come after falling. B．Nobody would make fun of Mario. C．If the “chair” could be visible or not. D．Mario didn’t have many true friends. 2．How did Mario finally sit in his “chair”? A．His friends held him. B．His grandpa taught him. C．He tried many times. D．He experienced the magic. 3．From the magic “chair” test, Mario learned about ________. A．the meaning of real friends B．the value of family members C．the ways to make new friends D．the key to working with friends 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了马里奥通过“椅子”测试明白了什么才是真正的朋友。 1．细节理解题。根据文中第一段中“Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think.”可知，爷爷和马里奥打的赌是马里奥没有很多真正的朋友。故选D。 2．细节理解题。根据文中第五段中“Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall.”可知，马里奥最终坐上“椅子”的原因是他的朋友们支撑着他。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据文中最后一段中“And he learned true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by.”可知，通过这个测试，马里奥了解到了真正的朋友的意义。故选A。 Passage 5 （23-24八年级下·北京东城·期末）Ling Runzhi, 41, who has used a wheelchair ever since she was six, listens to an online class about modern Chinese landscape paintings (山水画) carefully.

They were going to the theater with their friend Laurie. Amy also wanted to come with them. “I can’t take you, dear, because you aren’t invited,” began Meg, but Jo cut in impatiently, “You can’t go, Amy. Laurie invited only Meg and me.” Amy cried, “You’ll be sorry for this, Jo March.” While Jo and Meg were at the theater, Amy burned up Jo’s book of writings. Jo’s loving work of several years was gone in the fire. That night, Mother asked Jo to forgive (原谅) her sister, but Jo refused. The next day, Jo went to the river with Laurie to skate on the ice.

Quick!” She never knew how she did it, but for the next few minutes she blindly followed what Laurie said. Together they got Amy out. It seemed that Amy was more scared than hurt. When Mother had put Amy to bed, Jo whispered, “Are you sure she is safe?” “Quite safe, dear. She is not hurt, and won’t even catch cold,” replied her mother cheerfully. “I was so scared when Amy fell into the water. I think my heart was beating even faster than hers at that time.

But at last she said thoughtfully, “Susan, look at this thread (线). Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. It really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. Love is inside.” I couldn’t understand her until the next spring. My father got sick. After they were back from hospital, my mother helped my father walk slowly for two months. My father had never been so kind. But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself. We were worried about him. “Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I could walk by myself after I was back from hospital, but I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life,” Reading his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply. 1．Why does Susan’s father have bad moods? A．Because he doesn’t love the family. B．Because he doesn’t cam much money.

She found it hard to make new friends and get used to new teachers. She felt the huge buildings were too huge. She decided that she would just remember where her classes were and then try to put the rest of the places out of her mind. All of these changed after a P.E. class. One day in P.E. class, the coach said that everyone had to run one mile around the track (跑道). Riya searched the faces of her classmates for signs of worry. There was nothing she was afraid of more than having to run a whole mile. When the coach blew his whistle (吹口哨), Riya thought most of her classmates would pass her. “It’s just the beginning.” she thought, “I’ll come in last for sure. But what should I do? I cannot just stop here”. Riya started using a mind trick (技巧) on herself. She stopped thinking about the word “mile”. Instead, she decided to first reach the big tree up ahead. Then she ran to the place where the track turned. After that, she tried to see if she could finish her first lap (跑道的一圈). One lap turned into two, then three, then four. When the coach gave her a high five and said “Nice work”, Riya was surprised. She could not believe that she had just run a whole mile. As Riya walked back to the school building after P.E., she noticed that she felt less worried about its size. Maybe she would come to know the buildings one after another. All her other worries about new school life seemed to disappear as well because she knew that she would solve problems one lap at a time just like the one-mile run. 1．How was the first week of high school for Riya?

With every passing year, Mia’s fear of snakes seemed to get worse. Recently, she had started to avoid playing in the park because sometimes there were small garden snakes. Jess was Mia’s best friend and she was worried about Mia. If her fears kept getting worse, how long would it be before she was afraid to even leave her own house? One day, Jess invited Mia to her house to play a new video game. As Mia stepped into Jess’s room, she froze (僵住). “What’s that?” Over Jess’s shoulder, she could see a snake in a glass tank! Mia shouted, running out of the house. “Tiger is always in the tank, Mia. She can’t get out,” Jess said. “Come on—I know how badly you want to play the new game.

Passage 3 （24-25八年级下·北京·期末）In our writing club, we often shared our stories with a critique partner to give helpful feedback (反馈) so we could tell the best story. Today my critique partner was Penny. As I handed my story to her, I was nervous. I had no problem coming up with great story ideas. I did have problems with spelling and grammar. Penny didn’t look at me or smile as she pushed her story across the table toward me. Why was she worried? She always got perfect scores on her spelling and grammar tests. I read her story without stopping. It was perfect! I loved it. “Wow, great story,” I told her. “I don’t have any suggestions.” “Yours too,” she mumbled (嘟哝). She didn’t even look at me as she passed mine back. After class, Penny hurried out of the library. I noticed a book under her table. It must have fallen out of Penny’s bag. I read the description on the back and found it was just like Penny’s story! I couldn’t believe Penny had copied this idea! It wasn’t fair! Outside of the school, I spotted (发现) Penny sitting on a bench. I walked over and handed the book to her. She hung her head, almost crying! All of a sudden, I wasn’t angry anymore. I remembered that my job as her critique partner was to give helpful feedback, not to make her feel bad. But what should I say? I kept thinking about Penny as I walked home. I decided to ask Mom for help. When I found her in the kitchen making dinner with Dad, I realized that Mom and Dad had different skills, making them a great creative team. That gave me an idea to suggest to Penny. At school the next morning, I found Penny at her locker. “I thought I would love writing club, but I never have a single idea for a story,” she said. “Well, I have ideas, but I wish I could write perfectly like you do,” I said. “What if we worked on a story together? I bet we could come up with something great.” A big smile was on Penny’s face. 1．How did Penny feel when she pushed her story to the writer? A．Bored. B．Disappointed. C．Confused.

At lunch, I sat beside her and tried to talk, but she kept her head down and didn’t look at me even once. I felt like there was a big wall between us. Did I really hurt her that much?

But I’ve always believed that Tim is just as amazing as anyone else, and I’ve never been afraid to show him off to the world.

As we started singing, Tim’s voice was a little shaky. But then, something amazing happened. He found his rhythm and his voice grew stronger. The audience fell silent and then broke into loud cheers.

The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was.

Before and after school each day, he put on his wet suit, picked up his equipment, swam out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his three-to-six-foot friends. One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured (受伤) by his board. Wilson rushed him to the hospital, where he received 26 stitches (缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose. I was on an airplane flying home from a meeting while Leon’s eye was being stitched. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car. “Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been bad that day. “He’s been in an accident, but he’s going to be fine,” said my husband. A travelling working mother’s worst nightmare (噩梦) had come true. I ran to the car so fast that the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door to see that my youngest son had a patch (眼罩) over his eye and was leaning toward me crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.” I cried in his arms, telling him how awful I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called. “It’s okay, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.” “What?” I asked, confused by his logic. “I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in eight days,” said my son. I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead, I bit my tongue and hoped he would forget about surfing. For the next seven days, he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game. “Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love,” he said. And I gave in. Back then, Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing. Now he’s a man with a passion for surfing. And he’s a man with a responsibility. He is one of the top 25 professional surfers in the world.

Passage 4 （23-24八年级下·北京昌平·期末） The “Chair” There was once a boy called Mario who loved to show off how many friends he had at school. One day his grandfather said to him, “Mario, I bet you a big bag of popcorn you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many are nothing more than acquaintance (略有交情，熟人) or partners.” Mario agreed to the bet without a second thought. However, he wasn’t sure how to test who were real friends, so he asked his grandpa. “Take this. It’s an invisible (透明的) ‘chair’. If you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you can tell who your real friends are.” his grandpa said. Mario took the special “chair” to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and stood in the middle, with his “chair”. Mario tried hard to sit on the “chair”. Having difficulty seeing it, he missed and fell down many times. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. “Wait, wait, just a small problem.” he said. But again he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks. Mario tried many times until, suddenly, he sat in mid-air... Then he finally experienced the magic that his grandfather had been talking about. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana-three of his best friends-holding him up with their strong arms, so he wouldn’t fall. Meanwhile, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but making fun of him, enjoying his every fall. And there the show came to an end. Leaving with his three friends, he explained to them the magic “chair” test. And he learned true friends are those who care for us, and not just any acquaintance who happens to be passing by.

They were going to the theater with their friend Laurie. Amy also wanted to come with them. “I can’t take you, dear, because you aren’t invited,” began Meg, but Jo cut in impatiently, “You can’t go, Amy. Laurie invited only Meg and me.” Amy cried, “You’ll be sorry for this, Jo March.” While Jo and Meg were at the theater, Amy burned up Jo’s book of writings. Jo’s loving work of several years was gone in the fire. That night, Mother asked Jo to forgive (原谅) her sister, but Jo refused. The next day, Jo went to the river with Laurie to skate on the ice. Amy followed them. Jo saw her coming and turned her back. But Laurie did not see Amy. He warned Jo to stay away from the middle of the river. The ice there was thin. Jo heard him, but Amy did not know that. “Crack!” The sound turned Jo round. She happened to see Amy throw up her hands and go down with a scaring cry. The ice broke. Jo tried to call Laurie, but her voice was gone. She tried to rush forward, but her feet seemed to have no strength in them. Laurie’s voice cried out, “Bring a rail (横杆), Jo. Quick! Quick!” She never knew how she did it, but for the next few minutes she blindly followed what Laurie said. Together they got Amy out. It seemed that Amy was more scared than hurt. When Mother had put Amy to bed, Jo whispered, “Are you sure she is safe?” “Quite safe, dear. She is not hurt, and won’t even catch cold,” replied her mother cheerfully. “I was so scared when Amy fell into the water. I think my heart was beating even faster than hers at that time. If Laurie wasn’t there, everything would be too late. It was so stupid of me to be angry with my own sister! I am so sorry, Mom!” “Anger can make us do very bad things to people we love. We must learn to control our anger,” said Mrs March. Jo agreed. She looked at Amy in her bed and gave her a big kiss. (Adapted from Little Women) 1．What did Laurie invite Jo and Meg to do?

Passage 2 （24-25八年级下·北京门头沟·期末）When Sammie Vance was just 8, she thought about a question: What breaks your heart? “For me, it’s seeing people who need a friend,” the seventh grader from Indiana, the US, told People magazine. “I’ve been lonely myself. I don’t want others to feel that way.” Soon after a summer camp, Vance learned about buddy benches (伙伴长椅). These benches are seats at a school playground. A lonely child can sit on it. This will show that he or she is in need of a friend. Vance loved this idea. “It would be really cool to have one at my school,” Vance said. Then she took action immediately. She collected 725 kg of bottle caps and found a company to turn the caps into benches. Vance thinks these benches cost much less than common park benches and are good for the environment. Vance collected more bottle caps for benches at other schools too. She also made a Facebook page for others to follow her journey. She was surprised that her small project had an influence (影响) on people around the world. She even received bottle caps from Germany, Australia and Israel. Today, Vance has helped make 200 such benches in schools. But she has no plans of stopping.

She planned the whole day for her mom and wanted it to be the best Mother’s Day ever, especially when Dad is on a business trip and not at home. She was going to start with making her mom pancakes. “BLAST OFF!” Mike, her little brother, yelled as he ran through the kitchen and hit Amy’s hand. With a crash, the eggs fell to the floor.

Passage 4 （24-25八年级下·北京通州·期末）Sharanya is 14 years old and she is an eighth grader at a middle school. She enjoys coding (编程) and learning new computer languages. “When I worked as a volunteer at our local trash (垃圾) cleanup, I saw how much trash pollution (污染) there was, and I knew that I had to fix this problem.” Sharanya said. She decided to build her solar-powered (太阳能的) trash collector after taking part in the trash cleanup. She built a solar-powered trash—collecting robot. The wheeled machine uses sensors (传感器) to find trash and a pan to collect it up. The robot’s metal-detecting sensor helps put the trash into different boxes. And a light sensor lets the robot’s solar panel (太阳能板) face toward the sun and it can collect as much energy as possible. Sharanya said building the robot felt just like building a Lego. She has loved building Legos for many years and it helped her a lot. To build the robot, she also read many books. Since she didn’t have any experience in robotics before, it was completely a new experience for her. “My father helped me complete my project. Throughout the project, I’ve had to use tons of power tools (电动工具), and I even had to cut pieces of metal to certain lengths,” Sharanya said. “Whenever I had to use a power tool, my dad was always there to help out if necessary.” As a science project newbie, she told us we should follow the scientific method. It might seem difficult at times, but sticking to this and changing a little at a time could help get the best results. Sharanya said, “I’ve made many mistakes, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Making mistakes is a part of the whole learning process. So don’t be afraid.” 1．When did Sharanya want to build her robot? A．After she took part in the trash cleanup activity. B．Before she took the coding lessons at her school. C．When she knew the trash pollution on TV. D．After she learned new computer languages. 2．What can we learn about the trash collecting robot? A．It uses a solar panel to collect energy.
