专题02 阅读理解（记叙文+新闻报道+其他） Passage 1 （2026·广东·学业水平合格考）When expecting guests, I like to have a few small tasks ready, just in case they offer to help. Most guests, I’ve found, will feel great if there are small things they can do in return for my warm reception. So, when my friends Mary and Tom visited my new home one afternoon and asked if I needed anything, I pointed directly to the box of a new lock sitting on my table. “Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.” Tom offered to do the work. As he was unpacking the box, he suggested keeping it. “That way, if you change your mind, you can pack everything back in the box and return the lock,” he added. This made me slightly nervous. I didn’t want him to reconsider his offer. While Tom worked, his wife Mary and I drank coffee and had some cookies together. Mary shared with me that she was a bit worried about the lock task. “Tom likes to take things slow. Sometimes, I just need to give him a little push,” she said. Just at that moment, Tom said he hit a dead end. He could not remove the last few small metal pieces from the new lock. Unhurriedly, he sat down, rested his head against the back of the seat, and closed his eyes. It seemed that he was trying to work out a solution — at his own pace (节奏), of course. For the next half-hour, Tom remained glued to his seat. When I was about to ask him to call it quits and have a cup of coffee instead, Mary stood up and tapped her husband on the shoulder. “I don’t mean to rush you, but we aren’t staying here forever,” said Mary. Hearing this, Tom took out his phone and turned to what he called his favorite teacher: the Internet. After searching for a short while, he found a video that showed how. He then walked back to the door and soon announced, “All done!” What a relief! 1.The new lock was intended as___________. A. a small task for the guests B. a house-warming gift for the author C. a secret treasure for the guests to find D. a reminder for the author to call a repairman 2.What made the author slightly nervous? A. The reception of Mary and Tom. B. The expectation from Mary and Tom. C. Tom’s suggestion about keeping the box. D. Tom’s offer to fix the new lock on the door. 3.What did Tom mean when he said he hit a dead end? A. He broke the door. B. He wanted to take a rest. C. He worked out a solution. D. He got stuck in the work. 4.How did Tom finally get the work done? A. By following Mary’s instructions. B. By watching a video online. C. By gluing the metal pieces together. D. By calling his favorite teacher. 5.What is the main purpose of the story? A. To explain how to change a door lock. B. To discuss the challenges of receiving guests. C. To tell a fun story about getting help from guests. D. To encourage readers to do small tasks by themselves. Passage 2 （2025·广东·学业水平合格考）A yes-person is normally someone who says “yes” to everything; a request, a job, an opportunity, or an event. Some people think that saying “yes” to everything comes with risks. Things are good at first but might go wrong later. But, for me, saying “yes” has brought chances rather than worries. Here is a good example to show the power of saying “yes” and its effect on my life. My boss once asked me to give a speech to a large group of people. I had never done public speaking before, but I knew that I speech just fine. My boss was so pleased that he trusted me with more important tasks since then. Looking back on my work experiences I think about what would have happened if I had said “no” to some challenging tasks. Maybe I would never have made so much progress in my job. Saying “yes” has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it. Saying “yes” to something that you might be uncomfortable with, like a task that is outside your comfort zone, can have positive results. Sometimes, you just need to give it a try. Actually if you want to get anywhere in life, you can’ t be lazy and closed off. It’s really that simple. 1.Why do some people think saying “yes” to everything is risky? A. They will lose chances. B. They are lazy with work. C. People may make more requests. D. Things might go wrong later. 2.The author succeeded in giving the speech because __________. A. he pressed himself for the task B. he admitted his stress C. he has interested in the topic D. he was trusted by his boss 3.What has saying “yes” brought to the author according to Paragraph 3? A. More regrets. B. Personal growth. C. Bigger worries. D. Lifelong friendship. 4.The underlined part in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by ___________. A. pleasing B. important C. challenging D. dangerous 5.The author wrote the passage to __________. A. inspire people to live a simple life B. tell people about his work experience C. remind people of the risks of saying “yes” D. encourage people to say “yes” to challenges Passage 3 （2022·广东·学业水平合格考）George Daniels lives in London.

One of his watches which is now in an American museum took 3500 hours to complete. He usually makes one watch a year. Each one is inscribed (刻) with “Daniels London” and costs about $10,000.

Passage 4 （2022·广东·学业水平合格考）In 2016, I suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder(SAD) a form of depression(抑郁症) that is found to make people feel low in the UK between September and April. During that cold and wet period, I got comfort in books. Books have been used by many to reduce depression. I lose myself into them as thirstily as usually get my morning coffee. Each Christmas, I have a habit of returning to the old favorite books that make up for my emptiness, such as Jane Eyre. Sometimes, to escape from the cold, I run back to the heat that I am used to, so I will read a lot of books set in Africa. It became important for me to find a way to escape my sadness in the world of books. And isn’t that what art and literature is for? According to JJ Bola, the author of No Place to Call Home, “The world can get you so down that you think you’re the only person going through what you’re going through. But then you read and you realize that you are not alone that if someone else has gone through it and survived, then maybe you can, too.” It is this survival that the reader looks for, that is, the understanding that the winter is not so long after all. 1.What was the possible cause for the author’s illness?

Reading Reduces Depression B. Reading Keeps You Warm C. How to Escape Loneliness D. How to Survive Winters Passage 5 （2025·广东·学业水平合格考）I worked as a journalist and I was lucky to have an interview with Ezra Pryme, the famous English eccentric (怪人).

I was led through a large hall where all sorts of paintings are on the walls and then into a library. I waited for a while and at last a very short man appeared.

Not expecting this, I hesitated for a moment. “You can shake hands,” he said. “I don’t have any diseases!” “Mind the steps!” he cried, leading me down some steps. “I don’t say that to all my visitors, you know!” 1.The underlined word “hesitated” probably means?

Most guests, I’ve found, will feel great if there are small things they can do in return for my warm reception. So, when my friends Mary and Tom visited my new home one afternoon and asked if I needed anything, I pointed directly to the box of a new lock sitting on my table.(招待客人前，我总会准备几样小活儿，以防他们主动提出要帮忙。我发现，要是能做些小事来回报我的热情招待，大多数客人都会感到很开心。所以，一天下午，当我的朋友玛丽和汤姆来参观我的新家，问我有没有什么需要帮忙的时，我直接指向了桌上那盒新锁。)”和第二段中““Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.”(“好吧，既然你们问了，”我答道，“这把新锁得装到门上。” )”可知，新锁是打算作为给客人的一个小任务。故选A。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.” Tom offered to do the work. As he was unpacking the box, he suggested keeping it. “That way, if you change your mind, you can pack everything back in the box and return the lock,” he added. This made me slightly nervous. I didn’t want him to reconsider his offer.(“好吧，既然你们问了，”我答道，“这把新锁得装到门上。”汤姆立刻主动揽下了这个活儿。他拆开盒子时，提议把盒子留着。“这样的话，要是你改主意了，还能把所有零件装回盒子里，把锁退掉。”他补充道。这话让我心里有点发慌，我可不想让他反悔。)”可知，汤姆关于保留盒子的建议让作者有点紧张。故选C。 (3)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Just at that moment, Tom said he hit a dead end. He could not remove the last few small metal pieces from the new lock.(就在那一刻，汤姆说he hit a dead end。他无法从新锁上取下最后几块小金属片。)”可知，汤姆在工作中遇到了困难，他无法从新锁上取下最后几块小金属片，he hit a dead end意思是“他被卡住了”。故选D。 (4)题解析： 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Hearing this, Tom took out his phone and turned to what he called his favorite teacher: the Internet. After searching for a short while, he found a video that showed how. He then walked back to the door and soon announced, “All done!” What a relief!(听到这话，汤姆掏出手机，向他口中“最爱的老师”求助 —— 也就是互联网。搜索了一会儿后，他找到了一个演示安装方法的视频。随后，他走回门边，没过多久就大声宣布：“搞定啦！”我心里的石头总算落了地！)”可知，汤姆最后是通过观看网上的视频完成工作的。故选B。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“When expecting guests, I like to have a few small tasks ready, just in case they offer to help. Most guests, I’ve found, will feel great if there are small things they can do in return for my warm reception. So, when my friends Mary and Tom visited my new home one afternoon and asked if I needed anything, I pointed directly to the box of a new lock sitting on my table.(招待客人前，我总会准备几样小活儿，以防他们主动提出要帮忙。我发现，要是能做些小事来回报我的热情招待，大多数客人都会感到很开心。所以，一天下午，当我的朋友玛丽和汤姆来参观我的新家，问我有没有什么需要帮忙的时，我直接指向了桌上那盒新锁。)”和第二段中““Well, since you asked,” I replied, “this new lock needs to be fixed on the door.”(“好吧，既然你们问了，”我答道，“这把新锁得装到门上。” )”可知，文章主要讲述了作者的朋友玛丽和汤姆来访时，作者给他们安排了一个小任务——安装新锁，过程中发生了一些有趣的事情，最后汤姆通过观看网上的视频完成了任务。所以这个故事的主要目的是讲述一个从客人那里得到帮助的有趣故事。故选C。 Passage 2 （2025·广东·学业水平合格考）A yes-person is normally someone who says “yes” to everything; a request, a job, an opportunity, or an event.

Things are good at first but might go wrong later.(有些人认为对一切说“是”都有风险。事情一开始很好，但以后可能会出问题。)”可知，这些人认为这么做的话，事情一开始或许还好，但是以后可能变坏。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I had never done public speaking before, but I knew that I speech just fine. My boss was so pleased that he trusted me with more important tasks since then.(我以前从未做过公开演讲，但我知道我的演讲还可以。我的老板非常高兴，从那以后，他把更重要的任务托付给了我。)”和第三段中的“Looking back on my work experiences I think about what would have happened if I had said “no” to some challenging tasks.(回顾我的工作经历，我想到了会发生什么，如果我对一些具有挑战性的任务说“不”的话。)”可推知，作者之前从未公开演讲过，但他接受了这个有挑战性的任务，并且成功完成任务。故选A项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Saying “yes” has allowed me to move up at work, and I have grown from it.(说“是”让我在工作中取得了进步，我也从中成长起来。)”可知，说“是”让作者在工作中取得进步，也获得了个人成长。故选B项。 (4)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据画线短语前的“Saying “yes” to something that you might be uncomfortable with(对一些你可能感到不舒服的事情说“是”)”可推测出，“a task that is outside your comfort zone”(一项超出你舒适区的任务)在这里指的是有挑战性的（challenging）任务。故选C项。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Sometimes, you just need to give it a try. Actually if you want to get anywhere in life, you can’ t be lazy and closed off.

His work continues the tradition of the English watchmakers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Today this tradition is almost dead. Daniels is the only man in the world who designs his own watches makes all the parts himself and then puts them together.(乔治·丹尼尔斯住在伦敦。他是一名钟表匠。他的作品延续了18世纪和19世纪英国制表师的传统。今天，这一传统几乎已经消亡。丹尼尔斯是世界上唯一一个自己设计手表的人，他自己制造所有零件，然后把它们组装在一起。)”可知，乔治·丹尼尔斯是一个自己独自设计和制作手表的钟表匠。故选D项。 (2)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Of course these are not ordinary watches—they are very beautiful and will last three centuries.(当然，这些不是普通的手表，它们非常漂亮，可以用三个世纪。)”可知，他制作的手表可以持续三个世纪，即300年。故选B项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第三段的“George Daniels has always been attracted by clocks and watches.

I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors. He is very rich and he has a very big country house with a large garden. He has got a large family, but he never sees any of his children or his grandchildren. “I haven’t got any time for them,” he says. He has the largest collection of Art Deco objects in the world, but he is the only one who ever sees them. I knocked at the door of the house at exactly 3 p.m. Ezra’s servant opened the door for me. I was led through a large hall where all sorts of paintings are on the walls and then into a library. I waited for a while and at last a very short man appeared. As soon as he saw me, he held out his hand. Not expecting this, I hesitated for a moment. “You can shake hands,” he said. “I don’t have any diseases!” “Mind the steps!” he cried, leading me down some steps. “I don’t say that to all my visitors, you know!” 1.The underlined word “hesitated” probably means?

C　3. D　4. B　5. C 【解析】【导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为记者采访被称为怪人的著名英国人埃兹拉·普赖姆的经过。 (1)题解析： 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“As soon as he saw me, he held out his hand. Not expecting this, I hesitated for a moment. (他一看到我，就伸出了手。没想到会这样，我_____了一会儿)”可知，作者没想到埃兹拉·普赖姆会伸出手来握手，所以会犹豫，不确定要不要握手。由此可推断出“hesitated”意思是“犹豫，不确定”，与C项“showed uncertainty”意思相近。故选C项。 (2)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段“I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors.(我说“幸运”，是因为埃兹拉·普赖姆不愿与人打交道，几乎从不接待访客)”可知，记者将此次采访称为“幸运”恰恰说明普赖姆通常拒绝接受采访，但文中并未明确交代此次破例接受采访的具体原因。故选C项。 (3)题解析： 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors. He is very rich and he has a very big country house with a large garden. He has got a large family, but he never sees any of his children or his grandchildren.(我说“幸运”，是因为埃兹拉·普赖姆不愿与人打交道，几乎从不接待访客。他非常富有，有一座很大的乡间别墅，还有一个大花园。他有一个大家庭，但他从不见他的任何孩子或孙子孙女)”可知，埃兹拉·普赖姆被称为怪人是因为他从不看望他的孩子，没有时间与人相处，很少有访客，不包括D项“他决定见这位记者”。故选D项。 (4)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I say “lucky”, because Ezra Pryme doesn’t have much time for humans and he almost has no visitors.(我说“幸运”，是因为埃兹拉·普赖姆不愿与人打交道，几乎从不接待访客)”可推知，埃兹拉·普赖姆远离其他人。故选B项。 (5)题解析： 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He has the largest collection of Art Deco objects in the world, but he is the only one who ever sees them.(他收藏了世界上最多的装饰艺术派物品，但他是唯一一个见过它们的人)”可推知，C项“除了他，没有人见过他的收藏”最能反映埃兹拉·普赖姆孤僻成性、拒绝分享的怪异特质性格。故选C项。 / 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
