专题05 阅读理解（记叙文） Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·天津·期中）Mr. Smith is fifty years old. He began to teach in a middle school twenty-six years ago. He works hard and always comes to his office on time. He expects his students to be honest and is strict with them. Some of his students become famous people, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course the old man is proud of it. This term he began to teach Grade One. Some of the new students were told about him, but the others didn’t know him well. He told them how to be an honest person.

She started jumping and tried to shake the beetle off her jacket. Her reaction (反应) caught others’ eyes and made them all nervous. The woman finally drove the beetle away from her jacket, but it flew to rest on another woman’s dress. Like the first woman, the second woman screamed and shook her dress. Then the beetle fell upon a boy’s sweater. But the boy reacted differently. He stood still, kept quiet, and carefully looked at the beetle. He then slowly picked up a piece of paper from a table. When he thought that the time was right for action, he quickly covered the beetle with the paper, caught it, and threw it out of the restaurant. I was having my lunch at the restaurant. A few thoughts came to my mind after I saw it all. The three people reacted differently to the beetle and had different results in the end. The two women just tried to shake the beetle off their clothes. They didn’t think about driving it away from the restaurant, so it kept causing problems for others. The boy did something different and solved the problem once and for all. I didn’t mean that the two women did something wrong. I just meant that the boy did better. 1．The first woman probably felt ________ when seeing the beetle.

Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·天津滨海新区·期中）Flow like the river of change A little stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then she reached a desert. “I went 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 said, “If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river,” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate 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. “The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again, said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze, It carried her to the next stage of her life. The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream.

C．To succeed, we should change the way we are if necessary. D．We may experience difficulty in life just like the little stream. Passage 5 （25-26九年级上·天津滨海新区·期中）Last year, I went to the 41st Weifang International Kite Festival with my friend Emma. The sky was full of amazing kites—pandas, cars, dragons and so on. The locals said proudly, “In Weifang, everything can fly in the sky.” People from 46 countries came to join the fun. While we were there, Emma and I looked up kite history on our phones. I thought Laozi might have invented kites, but I was wrong! It was actually Mozi who invented kites over 2,000 years ago. He made the first wooden kite with wood and silk. It’s said that the kite could fly for one day. Later, Lu Ban improved it with bamboo, making it stay in the air for three days. Weifang produces over 70% of the world’s kites. An old grandpa told us there are four steps to make a kite: framing (扎框架), gluing, painting, and flying. Each step must be done very carefully. For example, the water temperature should be around 60°C when you glue the paper. Water hotter than that will change the colour of the paper. What surprised me most was the new ideas in kite-making. People add colourful lights to the kites. At night, the kites shine brightly in the sky. This trip made me love kites even more—they’re not just toys, but a mix of history and creativity! 1．Who first invented the earliest kite according to the passage? A．Laozi. B．Lu Ban. C．Mozi. D．Zhuangzi. 2．Which of the following did Lu Ban use to improve kites? A．Wood. B．Silk. C．Paper. D．Bamboo. 3．How many steps are there to make a kite? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 4．When gluing the paper, what will happen if the water temperature is much hotter than 60°C? A．The paper will dry soon. B．The frame will be broken. C．The colour will be changed. D．The size of the kite will be small. 5．What does the writer think of kites after the trip? A．They are mainly for kids to play with. B．They show both history and new ideas. C．They look more beautiful with different colours. D．They are difficult to make with traditional steps. Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·天津河北·期中）I always want more people to do sport. It once gave me a lot of help to make me better. I had a difficult time at university. I did poorly at school and couldn’t get on well with others. I felt sad, and this feeling of sadness finally turned into depression (消沉). I didn’t know how to beat it. I just stayed in bed all day. This almost ruined (破坏)my schoolwork and my life. Well, the turning point came one day! On one of my good days, I went to the playground, and spent about 10 minutes playing basketball before getting bored and going home. That was the moment. I found myself still enjoying something! After that, I decided to get out of bed and move more. I went to the playground and played basketball again the next day, and the next day, and so on. Every time, I stayed a little longer and went back home a little happier. Later, I joined a basketball team. This gave me a way to get back into society and make more friends. Finally, I pulled out of the depression. Sport gave me my life back. I know many people now have some kind of mental (心理) health problem like depression. I hope sport can be a way for them to try.

Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·天津和平·期中）Once there was a poor country mouse named Pip. He lived in a quiet field under an old apple tree. Every day he ate simple food, such as wild corn, roots and a few berries. He was happy because no one ever bothered him. One sunny morning, Pip decided to visit his cousin, Max, who lived in the big city. “City life must be exciting!” Pip thought. He packed a small bag and jumped onto a farmer’s truck. When Pip arrived, he could not believe his eyes. Tall buildings, shining cars and hundreds of mice hurried along the streets. Max welcomed Pip warmly and took him to a beautiful apartment. The kitchen was bigger than Pip’s whole house. There were cakes, cheese, bread and even chocolate. Pip’s mouth watered. “You eat like a king!” he cried. “Shhh,” whispered Max. “Speak softly. A huge cat lives here. She waits behind the door every night.” Just then, they heard a soft “Meow”. “Run!” Max turned pale and shouted. The two mice raced through holes, up ropes and down pipes. The cat’s claws almost caught Pip’s tail. At last, they escaped into a dark corner, breathing hard. Pip’s heart was still beating fast. “Thank you, Max, but I miss my quiet field.

Passage 2 （24-25九年级上·天津河东·期中）Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive ambiguous or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If someone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.” Once on my way to work, I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I had someone important to meet with.

Passage 3 （24-25九年级上·天津和平·期中）Alice, an American designer, now lives with her husband in their apartment on Changning Road, Shanghai. They moved into the apartment on the first day of 2023. “Although it is not very large, it’s quite convenient to live here. Nearby are gyms, restaurants, supermarkets and more.” Alice says.

Do they make you feel stressed? Recently, a mother’s special idea about her kids’ playtime has caught people’s attention online. Jessi Meeks says every day, her three kids get an hour where they get to do “whatever” they want. She calls it “whatever-makes-you happy hour” . Meeks’ idea came naturally from one of her kids’ suggestions. “One afternoon, the kids were outside painting and my husband and I were trying to talk and carry on a conversation. My oldest son Cannon looked at me and asked, ‘Can I paint my hands?’ And I said, ‘Whatever makes you happy. You all just do it and be quiet so Mommy and Daddy can talk to each other.’ ” Meeks recalls. “And from then on, around that same time of the day, they would ask if they could do something and we’d be like ‘Sure, whatever makes you happy.’ ” But Meeks also sets necessary boundaries (界限). “If they start hurting themselves or hurting each other, we step in.” she adds, “And we don’t let them watch TV. ” Meeks believes the hour of free playtime has been beneficial for her kids. If they make a big mess, she thinks it’s a good chance to teach little ones the practice of tidying up. At the same time, it’s also a great way to allow time for them to explore and play the way they want. “Even though the kids make a mess at times, it has worked out well for everyone in my family.” Meeks says. She views “whatever makes-you-happy hour” as a daily period to make new memories and build a good family relationship. 1．How does the author start the passage? A．By explaining a fact.

He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure (探险) in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventurer of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018. Although Jerry had achieved (实现) great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?” Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it. Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life on Mount Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists learn how plants live in extreme (极端的) conditions. For Jerry, this kind of adventure is most satisfying. “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is (重要的是) doing something helpful while climbing mountains. There is still much more we can do,” Jerry said to a newspaper. 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．Jerry’s achievements.

He replied with a smile and said, “Please excuse me, too...” We apologised and went our own ways. Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too close to me, with her hands hiding behind her back. When I turned to reach for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. “Move out of the way,” I shouted. She walked away sadly. But I didn’t feel like I had to apologise to her.

Passage 1 （25-26九年级上·天津·期中）Zach Smith, an 18-year-old senior at Dwight-Englewood School in New Jersey, had a problem. “I was not happy with my school’s learning system (系统), and so were my friends,” Zach said. “So I thought I could design an app (应用程序) that would bring together your homework and everything you need all in one place to make it easy for students to stay organized.” That idea of creating My DE+ put Zach on a journey that would find him learning the finer points of UX design, working with coding platforms (编程平台), and importantly, getting the confidence and trust of the teachers at the school. “I started with Figma, just prototyping (制作原型) what the app would look like. I met with my head teacher at school and showed him the design. He was like, ‘Whoa, that looks very cool! How do we get this in our school?’ And I don’t think he realized it was just a design. So now I had to get to work building the app,” Zach said. At first, Zach was considering teaching himself how to code. That’s when he discovered Adalo. Zach was able to create a working prototype. The next question was how to get it on the phones of 500 students in the school. Zach used a business platform called Make. And he changed it and sent everyone a message. “I met with every grade at the school and showed them how to get the app. After a month, I had 500 users on the app, which is almost my whole school,” Zach explained. Zach has now been talking with other heads of technology of schools in New York City and adding all kinds of new functions (功能) like community pages. “In terms of what comes next, I really hope my app can be used in other schools. I just love it when I can see an idea in my head, and follow it through from start to finish.” 1．What made Zach create My DE+? A．His interest in coding platforms. B．Advice from the school managers.

C．The future development of My DE+. D．The popularity of My DE+ on campus. 3．Which tool solved Zach’s problem with coding? A．Figma. B．Adalo. C．Make. D．UX design. 4．What can we expect of My DE+? A．It will be family-friendly. B．It will take the place of Adalo and Make. C．It will be introduced into different schools.

Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·天津河北·期中）The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China when people light lanterns, set off fireworks (放烟花), eat yuanxiao and enjoy family time. But do you know how this festival started? In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for the Emperor (皇帝) Wu of Han. One day, Dongfang met a crying maid (宫女) named Yuanxiao in the emperor’s garden. He asked her what happened. And the maid said she was sad because she couldn’t see her family. Dongfang promised to help Yuanxiao. He left the garden and went to the street. He started telling people that a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month: It was the order of the Jade Emperor. Word spread (传播) quickly and people in the city were afraid. The Emperor Wu of Han heard of it and asked Dongfang for suggestions. Dongfang advised him to let Yuanxiao make glutinous rice (糯米) balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off fireworks to create an illusion. So the Jade Emperor may think by mistake that the city was on fire. Seeing this, he would not set fire. On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns. Yuanxiao’s parents were able to meet up with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and the Emperor Wu of Han was happy. He ordered that every year on this day, people should make glutinous rice balls and hang lanterns. From then on, the 15th day of the first lunar month has been called the Lantern Festival or Yuanxiao Jie.

He loved to learn how things worked. He also loved to make things work better. Many people think of him as one of the greatest inventors of all time. Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847. He did not do well in school. He wanted to question and explore. At that time, school was mostly about remembering facts, so his mom took him out of school and taught him at home. He sold food and newspapers on trains when he was twelve. He used the money he earned to buy books and materials for experiments. He set up a lab in a train car. Also around this time, he lost most of his hearing. When he was fifteen, he saved a boy’s life. The boy was about to be run over by a boxcar when Edison grabbed him. The child’s father offered to teach Edison how to be a telegraph operator. As he grew older, he continued to be interested in science. Edison wanted to invent things full-time. He invented ways to make the telegraph better. He said he would not give up, no matter what happened. For years, people had tried to make a safe light bulb that most people could buy. Many inventors had tried and failed. First, Edison and his team had to find the right filament (灯丝)—the part of a light bulb that glows. They tried thousands of materials and finally found one that worked. People were amazed by Edison’s electric lights. During his life, Edison had 1093 patents (专利), which was a record. He worked until he was more than eighty years old. When he died on October 18, 1931, President Hoover asked people to turn off their lights for a short time. He asked them to think about the great changes Edison had made in their lives. 1．Why did Edison’s mother pull him out of school? A．Because he did not do well in school. B．Because the family moved.

Passage 4 （25-26九年级上·天津·期中）Recently, Beyond the Clouds (《我本是高山》), a film about Zhang Guimei, a rural (乡村的) teacher in Huaping county, Lijiang, Yunnan province, has greatly touched many people’s hearts. About 20 years ago, while on the way to visit a student’s house, Zhang noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married. It was arranged by her parents. “But I want to go to school,” the girl said. Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition (学费) herself. However, they didn’t agree. “We always say, each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track (跑道),” she told Xinhua News Agency. After that, Zhang Guimei made up her mind to build a free high school for girls, aiming to help break the cycle that saw girls drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the deep mountains. After years trying to raise money, in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school, was founded at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping, where Zhang is the headmaster. More than 1,800 graduates from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to the college, which is an amazing achievement in the deep mountain area. Zhang also says a girl can influence three generations (代), and she wants more girls from the mountains to attend the best universities. Zhang Guimei has lighted the hopes of many girls. “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek (溪流), rising to the high peaks with the small valleys at my feet. I was born to be great, not worthless, standing on the shoulders of the giants, the petty cowards (懦夫) beneath me.” That is the promise that every student there makes to themselves. 1．What happened to the 13-year-old girl when Zhang Guimei visited her house? A．The girl climbed a hill. B．The girl returned to school. C．The girl paid for her tuition. D．The girl’s parents were going to marry her to someone. 2．What does the underlined word “persuade” in Paragraph 2 mean?

He began to teach in a middle school twenty-six years ago.”可知，他已经教书26年。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Some of his students become famous people, but they still remember him and often write to him. Of course the old man is proud of it.”可知，他引以为傲的是学生仍记得他并常给他写信。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“He told them how to be an honest person... ‘I hate telling a lie most.’”可知，他教导学生不要撒谎。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“The students had a look at their workbooks and their faces turned red at once.”可推知，课本里根本没有第八题，这是史密斯老师为了测试学生是否诚实而设计的。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“The students had a look at their workbooks and their faces turned red at once.”可知，学生们为自己撒谎感到羞愧，因此他们的感受应是抱歉的。故选D。 Passage 2 （25-26九年级上·天津·期中）At a restaurant, a beetle suddenly flew in through the door and fell upon a woman’s jacket. The woman let out a scream. She started jumping and tried to shake the beetle off her jacket. Her reaction (反应) caught others’ eyes and made them all nervous. The woman finally drove the beetle away from her jacket, but it flew to rest on another woman’s dress. Like the first woman, the second woman screamed and shook her dress. Then the beetle fell upon a boy’s sweater. But the boy reacted differently. He stood still, kept quiet, and carefully looked at the beetle. He then slowly picked up a piece of paper from a table. When he thought that the time was right for action, he quickly covered the beetle with the paper, caught it, and threw it out of the restaurant. I was having my lunch at the restaurant. A few thoughts came to my mind after I saw it all. The three people reacted differently to the beetle and had different results in the end. The two women just tried to shake the beetle off their clothes. They didn’t think about driving it away from the restaurant, so it kept causing problems for others. The boy did something different and solved the problem once and for all. I didn’t mean that the two women did something wrong. I just meant that the boy did better. 1．The first woman probably felt ________ when seeing the beetle. A．angry B．afraid C．bored D．shy 2．Which is the right order of the following things? ① The boy stood still. ② The boy caught the beetle. ③ The boy picked up a piece of paper. ④ The boy looked at the beetle carefully.

A．Completely. B．Carelessly. C．Nearly. D．Hardly. 5．The writer thought that the two women ________. A．did something helpful B．should care more about others C．saved the situation at the restaurant D．thought well before taking action 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个甲虫飞进餐厅后，三位不同的人对其做出了不同反应，最终结果也不同。 1．推理判断题。根据“The woman let out a scream. She started jumping and tried to shake the beetle off her jacket.”可知，第一个女人看到甲虫时尖叫起来，开始跳起来，试图把甲虫从她的外套上抖下来，由此可推测她很害怕。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“He stood still, kept quiet, and carefully looked at the beetle. He then slowly picked up a piece of paper from a table. When he thought that the time was right for action, he quickly covered the beetle with the paper, caught it, and threw it out of the restaurant.”可知男孩先是站着不动，然后仔细观察甲虫，接着拿起一张纸，最后抓住了甲虫。所以正确的顺序是①④③②。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“A few thoughts came to my mind after I saw it all. The three people reacted differently to the beetle and had different results in the end.”可知，作者在看到这三个人对甲虫的不同反应后，脑海中浮现出一些想法。故选D。 4．词句猜测题。根据“The boy did something different and solved the problem once and for all.”可知，男孩做了不同的事情，彻底解决了问题，因此“once and for all”的意思是“彻底地，完全地”，与“Completely”意思相近。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据“I didn’t mean that the two women did something wrong. I just meant that the boy did better.”以及“They didn’t think about driving it away from the restaurant, so it kept causing problems for others.”可知，作者认为这两个女人没有做错什么，只是男孩做得更好，因为她们没有考虑把甲虫赶出餐厅，所以它不断给其他人带来麻烦，由此可推测作者认为这两个女人在采取行动之前没有好好思考，应该多关心他人。故选B。 Passage 3 （25-26九年级上·天津东丽·期中）In Scotland, we celebrate Hogmanay (the last day of the year).

The sky was full of amazing kites—pandas, cars, dragons and so on. The locals said proudly, “In Weifang, everything can fly in the sky.” People from 46 countries came to join the fun. While we were there, Emma and I looked up kite history on our phones. I thought Laozi might have invented kites, but I was wrong! It was actually Mozi who invented kites over 2,000 years ago. He made the first wooden kite with wood and silk. It’s said that the kite could fly for one day. Later, Lu Ban improved it with bamboo, making it stay in the air for three days. Weifang produces over 70% of the world’s kites. An old grandpa told us there are four steps to make a kite: framing (扎框架), gluing, painting, and flying. Each step must be done very carefully. For example, the water temperature should be around 60°C when you glue the paper. Water hotter than that will change the colour of the paper. What surprised me most was the new ideas in kite-making. People add colourful lights to the kites. At night, the kites shine brightly in the sky. This trip made me love kites even more—they’re not just toys, but a mix of history and creativity! 1．Who first invented the earliest kite according to the passage? A．Laozi. B．Lu Ban. C．Mozi. D．Zhuangzi. 2．Which of the following did Lu Ban use to improve kites? A．Wood. B．Silk. C．Paper. D．Bamboo. 3．How many steps are there to make a kite? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 4．When gluing the paper, what will happen if the water temperature is much hotter than 60°C? A．The paper will dry soon. B．The frame will be broken. C．The colour will be changed. D．The size of the kite will be small. 5．What does the writer think of kites after the trip? A．They are mainly for kids to play with. B．They show both history and new ideas. C．They look more beautiful with different colours. D．They are difficult to make with traditional steps. 【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过记叙去年与朋友Emma参加第41届潍坊国际风筝节的经历，介绍了风筝的发明历史、潍坊作为世界风筝主要产地的地位、传统风筝制作的四个步骤，以及风筝制作的新创意。 1．细节理解题。根据文中“It was actually Mozi who invented kites over 2,000 years ago”可知，墨子早在2000多年前发明了风筝，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据文中 “Later, Lu Ban improved it with bamboo” 可知，鲁班用竹子改进了风筝，故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据文中“there are four steps to make a kite: framing, gluing, painting, and flying”可知，制作风筝有四个步骤：扎框架、裱糊、绘画、放飞，故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据文中“Water hotter than that will change the colour of the paper”可知，水温过高会改变纸张的颜色，故选C。 5．观点态度题。根据文末“they’re not just toys, but a mix of history and creativity”可知，风筝不仅是玩具，更是历史与创意的结合，故选B。 Passage 6 （25-26九年级上·天津河北·期中）I always want more people to do sport.

Do they have any strict family rules for you? Do they make you feel stressed? Recently, a mother’s special idea about her kids’ playtime has caught people’s attention online. Jessi Meeks says every day, her three kids get an hour where they get to do “whatever” they want. She calls it “whatever-makes-you happy hour” . Meeks’ idea came naturally from one of her kids’ suggestions. “One afternoon, the kids were outside painting and my husband and I were trying to talk and carry on a conversation. My oldest son Cannon looked at me and asked, ‘Can I paint my hands?’ And I said, ‘Whatever makes you happy. You all just do it and be quiet so Mommy and Daddy can talk to each other.’ ” Meeks recalls. “And from then on, around that same time of the day, they would ask if they could do something and we’d be like ‘Sure, whatever makes you happy.’ ” But Meeks also sets necessary boundaries (界限). “If they start hurting themselves or hurting each other, we step in.” she adds, “And we don’t let them watch TV. ” Meeks believes the hour of free playtime has been beneficial for her kids. If they make a big mess, she thinks it’s a good chance to teach little ones the practice of tidying up. At the same time, it’s also a great way to allow time for them to explore and play the way they want. “Even though the kids make a mess at times, it has worked out well for everyone in my family.” Meeks says. She views “whatever makes-you-happy hour” as a daily period to make new memories and build a good family relationship. 1．How does the author start the passage? A．By explaining a fact.

He has climbed many high mountains in the world. Starting in 2015, he and his friends spent two years on an adventure (探险) in South America, covering 7,800 miles. He was even named Adventurer of the Year by a famous geography magazine in 2018. Although Jerry had achieved (实现) great success, he didn’t feel fulfilled. He asked himself, “Is it enough to climb the highest mountains? Am I doing something helpful? How can I turn my adventures into something that can help the world?” Jerry learned that scientists need plants, rocks and water samples (样本) from places far away to do research. But scientists can’t get there themselves as such places are hard to reach—only the bravest adventurers can make it. Jerry thought he could do something to help. He then came up with an idea. He set up a team of top adventurers to collect samples for scientists. By studying the samples, scientists could know more about the earth and find ways to protect it. Recently Jerry and his adventurer friends have discovered a special plant life on Mount Qomolangma. The samples they brought back have helped scientists learn how plants live in extreme (极端的) conditions. For Jerry, this kind of adventure is most satisfying. “Such adventures have made us see life in a different way. Now, being the best climber isn’t important for me. What matters is (重要的是) doing something helpful while climbing mountains. There is still much more we can do,” Jerry said to a newspaper. 1．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about? A．Jerry’s achievements.

But do you know how this festival started? In the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Dongfang Shuo who worked for the Emperor (皇帝) Wu of Han. One day, Dongfang met a crying maid (宫女) named Yuanxiao in the emperor’s garden. He asked her what happened. And the maid said she was sad because she couldn’t see her family. Dongfang promised to help Yuanxiao. He left the garden and went to the street. He started telling people that a big fire would happen on the 15th day of the first lunar month: It was the order of the Jade Emperor. Word spread (传播) quickly and people in the city were afraid. The Emperor Wu of Han heard of it and asked Dongfang for suggestions. Dongfang advised him to let Yuanxiao make glutinous rice (糯米) balls for the God of Fire to make him happy. He also advised everyone in the city to put up red lanterns and set off fireworks to create an illusion. So the Jade Emperor may think by mistake that the city was on fire. Seeing this, he would not set fire. On the special day, the city was full of people and lanterns. Yuanxiao’s parents were able to meet up with their daughter in the crowd. The city was safe, and the Emperor Wu of Han was happy. He ordered that every year on this day, people should make glutinous rice balls and hang lanterns.

He loved to learn how things worked. He also loved to make things work better. Many people think of him as one of the greatest inventors of all time. Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847. He did not do well in school. He wanted to question and explore. At that time, school was mostly about remembering facts, so his mom took him out of school and taught him at home. He sold food and newspapers on trains when he was twelve. He used the money he earned to buy books and materials for experiments. He set up a lab in a train car. Also around this time, he lost most of his hearing. When he was fifteen, he saved a boy’s life. The boy was about to be run over by a boxcar when Edison grabbed him. The child’s father offered to teach Edison how to be a telegraph operator. As he grew older, he continued to be interested in science. Edison wanted to invent things full-time. He invented ways to make the telegraph better. He said he would not give up, no matter what happened. For years, people had tried to make a safe light bulb that most people could buy. Many inventors had tried and failed. First, Edison and his team had to find the right filament (灯丝)—the part of a light bulb that glows. They tried thousands of materials and finally found one that worked. People were amazed by Edison’s electric lights. During his life, Edison had 1093 patents (专利), which was a record. He worked until he was more than eighty years old. When he died on October 18, 1931, President Hoover asked people to turn off their lights for a short time. He asked them to think about the great changes Edison had made in their lives. 1．Why did Edison’s mother pull him out of school? A．Because he did not do well in school. B．Because the family moved.

About 20 years ago, while on the way to visit a student’s house, Zhang noticed a girl sitting on the hillside. The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married. It was arranged by her parents. “But I want to go to school,” the girl said. Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school and promised to pay for her tuition (学费) herself. However, they didn’t agree. “We always say, each child should stand on the same starting line, but these girls didn’t even have a chance to get on the track (跑道),” she told Xinhua News Agency. After that, Zhang Guimei made up her mind to build a free high school for girls, aiming to help break the cycle that saw girls drop out of education, marry early and spend their whole life in the deep mountains. After years trying to raise money, in 2008, Huaping High School for Girls, a free public high school, was founded at the foot of the Shizi Mountain in Huaping, where Zhang is the headmaster. More than 1,800 graduates from Huaping High School for Girls have gone to the college, which is an amazing achievement in the deep mountain area. Zhang also says a girl can influence three generations (代), and she wants more girls from the mountains to attend the best universities. Zhang Guimei has lighted the hopes of many girls. “I was built to be a mountain, not a creek (溪流), rising to the high peaks with the small valleys at my feet. I was born to be great, not worthless, standing on the shoulders of the giants, the petty cowards (懦夫) beneath me.” That is the promise that every student there makes to themselves. 1．What happened to the 13-year-old girl when Zhang Guimei visited her house? A．The girl climbed a hill. B．The girl returned to school. C．The girl paid for her tuition. D．The girl’s parents were going to marry her to someone. 2．What does the underlined word “persuade” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．说服 B．密告 C．邀请 D．支持 3．What is the right time order of the following events? ①Huaping High School for Girls was founded. ②More than 1,800 graduates from Zhang’s school have gone to the college. ③Beyond the Clouds, a film about Zhang Guimei, touched many people’s hearts. ④A visit to a girl’s house made up Zhang’s mind to build a free high school for girls. A．①→②→③→④ B．②→④→①→③ C．④→①→②→③ D．④→③→②→① 4．Which of the following best describes the promise that every student makes according to the last paragraph? A．Painful and sad B．Confident and proud. C．Humorous and funny. D．Disappointed and ashamed. 5．What can be the best title for the text? A．A free high school B．Education in rural China C．Zhang Guimei’s students D．A common but great teacher 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了云南丽江华坪县乡村教师张桂梅的感人事迹，介绍她创办免费女子高中、帮助山区女孩圆大学梦的故事，赞扬了她无私奉献、伟大崇高的精神。 1．第二段指出事件：“The girl, 13, told Zhang she was about to get married. It was arranged by her parents.”，说明这个13岁女孩正被父母安排嫁人。 2．第二段猜测词义：“persuade”所在句子“Zhang went to her house and tried to persuade her parents to let the girl return to school”，结合语境可判断该词意为“说服”。 3．第三段及第一段梳理事件顺序：④A visit to a girl’s house made up Zhang’s mind to build a free high school for girls. →①Huaping High School for Girls was founded. →②More than 1,800 graduates from Zhang’s school have gone to the college. →③Beyond the Clouds, a film about Zhang Guimei, touched many people’s hearts.，因此正确顺序为④→①→②→③。 4．最后一段分析誓言内涵：学生的誓言表达了要成为像山一样伟岸、伟大的人，体现出自信与自豪。 5．全文概括主旨：文章围绕张桂梅展开，讲述她作为一名平凡却伟大的教师，创办免费女高帮助山区女孩的故事。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
