2024年初中中考英语专项训练-阅读理解（记叙文）
（2023·广东广州 · 统考二模） How much do you really know about yourself
It’s not an easy job to know ourselves. To help students do this important task, schools across China are
providing more classes and activities on self-knowledge.
Liu Yue, a teacher from Chengdu Yucai Middle School, has recently given her students a useful tool. “It’s called the Johari Window which has four areas about one’s self: open area (that everyone knows about), hidden area (that only you know), blind spot (that everyone knows except you) and unknown area (that nobody knows). Using this
tool, students did a good job seeing themselves through a new lens.” Liu said.
Self-knowledge area
… “I’m most curious about this area which I didn’t notice before,” said ninth-grader Yang Manfei. “So I did a survey with my friends.” The results showed that Yang easily gets anxious and impatient because of procrastination（拖延症） . “That’s a bad habit I’ve never realized!” Yang said.
… “I find this area most amazing,” said Sun Boyin. “It means everyone has lots of potential.” When Sun entered middle school, he was not good at math. “But I set a goal and did lots of math exercises. Now I’m much better at math. The unknown part of my math ability is getting clearer!” Sun said.
▲ When it came to this area, most students kept silent. “I’m scared to show my secrets deep down,” said Li Yixuan. Then one classmate stood up and said his favorite cartoon is Tom and Jerry. “Am I brave enough to show my childish hobby Perhaps not. I want my classmates to see me as a mature person, not a silly kid. But then I realized that I don’t find that classmate silly. I think he has the courage to be himself.” Li shared his thought. “Show yourself and make yourself better—that’s the best lesson I learned,” Li said.
… “My school asked us to use anything on school to describe ourselves. I chose a purple morning glory. The flower is small and ordinary. The main part is dark purple. But some parts look bright. That’s like me: Most of the time I’m not eye-catching. But I still have some shining points.” said Zhou Caiyan.

（2023·广东广州 · 广州奥林匹克中学校考三模）Egg carving(蛋雕) is often called the most fragile(易碎的) art, as it requires great care before, during and even after the carving. Yu Wen, the granddaughter of a famous local
painter in Dandong, Liaoning Province, has been practising egg carving for about 25 years.
Yu has used more than 10,000 eggs, and years of hard work has left many thick calluses( 茧)on her hands.
Sometimes she can’t even hold chopsticks properly after a long day of holding the carving knife. But in Yu’s opinion, the difficult process makes egg carving more exciting. “If you carve the egg too much, the work will be broken and
there is no way to deal with it. That makes the sense of achievement even greater when you finish a piece,” Yu said.
Yu’s love for egg carving started in her childhood. In northeast China, when a baby is born, friends and relatives often send eggs colored red as gifts, and some auspicious words are carved on them. The Chinese character fu is a
popular one. Her egg carving is just as much about eggs as it is about Chinese culture.
Now Yu teaches egg carving at a local university. In recent years, she has seen more people coming from across
the country to learn the art. “I hope I can better combine the art with traditional culture in the future,” Yu said.
17 ． is/are needed most during the process of carving an egg.
A ．Much money B ．Colored eggs
C ．Much care D ．Carving knives

（2023·广东广州 · 广州市第一一三中学校考三模）Yesterday, I read a report on fruit-picking robots. As I heard about the pricey robotic arms of these machines, I was filled with something like sadness. Our children and grandchildren, I’m afraid, will not be able to understand how our food is grown. Nor will they be able to experience
the fun of fruit-picking.
I once spent a few weeks on a farm in New Zealand. There, I met about 50 apple-pickers from Vanuatu. At night, we listened to pop music and washed our clothes as they told me about their experiences of picking pineapples and peaches. Life on the farm was hard. The rooms were small and dark. There was nothing in them but a kettle(水
壶) and a shower. However, the trip left me with many fond memories.
When my son was little, I used to cycle him half an hour out of town to a farm every few weeks. There, we could pick strawberries. He loved it. He was excited about the smell of the plants, the feel of the soil and the art of guessing which piece of fruit had the potential to be the most delicious. And he saw where our fruit came from. I
wanted him to understand the effort and energy during the process of producing food.
Doorstep deliveries and washed and sliced( 切 好 的) salad vegetables have already started to destroy our
understanding of how our food is grown and what it looks like. Robotic fruit-pickers, I fear, will be just another step
in this direction. I’m afraid that we are making the whole act of eating a hands-off experience. Where is, then, the
fun of it
31 ．What is the report in Paragraph 1 about

While others tried to build walls as quickly as possible because they were paid according to the number of bricks they laid. Zou had high standards and pulled his walls down if he thought they weren’t good enough. That effort of trying to be perfect may explain why he became the first Chinese person to win a prize in
bricklaying at World Skills in 2015.
Born in a village in Central China’s Hunan Province in 1995, he chose a job different from most people of his age. Zou decided to do the same job as his father to work as a construction worker.

The work at the construction place was quite hard for a teenager, but Zou carried on and pushed himself to get over all the difficulties. Zou also remembers that he only
stayed at any place for three months at most before moving to the next one, taking buses for hours and carrying all
of his daily things.
Nowadays, when he passes the places where he works, he sees many tall city buildings and feels a sense of pride when he thinks of the walls and roads he has built. His efforts and love for work helped him to get bricklaying skills and achieve success. “I will continue to work in the construction industry, learn to improve myself, know about
industrial development and help workers get more chances for better development,” Zou said.

（2023·广东广州 · 执信中学校考三模）Once there was a dandelion(蒲公英) living alone by the road. It felt
bored and sad all day…no one ever stopped to take a look at or talk to it.
One day, a mother was walking on the road with her baby. The baby was crying hard and loudly. No matter what the mother did, she couldn’t get the baby to stop crying. Then the mother looked down, and she found the lonely dandelion. It looked so lovely in the sun with its white seeds widely open, and more beautiful than other plants

（2023·广东广州 · 华南师大附中校考二模） “Save the whales!” That’s what the picture on Jake Smith’s bedroom wall said. Jake liked having a picture that said something important: that showed he cared. He just never
expected to get a chance to save a real whale, one right in his own neighbourhood.
It was a Saturday morning when the newspaper first reported the whale’ coming. A group of the animals were swimming close to the beach in Jake’s hometown. All the local people rushed out to the beach to see them. They
were expecting a beautiful show, better than a movie, but nothing they’d have to do anything about.
Then one whale swam in the direction, directly towards land. It came in with the waves, and when the waves receded, its huge body on the sand. Suddenly, Jake and his family and all the others were no longer sightseers. They had to become rescuers. A few people ran towards the animal. They pushed and tried to force the whaleback into the
water, but it was no use.
An animal rescue service team soon arrived in a truck with heavy lifting machinery, to help move the animal. Jack and his family couldn’t do much on the beach, so they went back to their house and made sandwiches and hot
tea for the rescuers. At least, Jake thought, they could help in some way.
Back at the beach, they offered the food to the rescuers and were happy to see that it was needed. It was getting dark. Some people lined up their cars along the beach and shined the headlights on the sand. The rescuers would not give up. After trying many times they were finally able to lift the whale into the water. Everyone cheered when it headed out to sea. It swam out about a mile and then disappeared for a moment under the sea. Then, in what looked
like a jump of joy, it rose high above the water—a thank-you to those who had worked so hard to save his life.

（2023·广东广州 · 广州市天河中学校考三模）Once there was a magical fairy who had the gift of making wishes come true. Every half-moon she helped one elf（精灵） to achieve one wish. Lately, however, it was hard to decide whose wish would be the next to come true. It wasn’t that there were so many elves who should have a wish achieved for their excellent performance. It was that there were so many who shouldn’t have it at all because of their
bad behaviour.
So on the night of the next half-moon she thought of a plan to find a worthy elf. She put on some dirty old
clothes and turned herself into a beggar and walked into the magic forest.
Soon she saw an elf holding a cup of hot tea in his hands. “Good day, good friend. I seem to have lost my way,”
she said in a raspy voice. “Could you please help me get home ”
“Why me ” The elf blew steam from his cup. “There are lots of other elves around.”
“Okay,” said the beggar. “I’ll find someone else.”
She soon came upon a second elf polishing stones. “Good day, good friend.” The beggar sighed. “I’m a little bit
lost. I don’t suppose you could help guide me home ”
“Why now ” said the elf. “I’m busy. Can’t you see ”
“Never mind.” The beggar shook her head.
The third elf she came upon was sleeping under a mushroom. The beggar tapped his shoulder with her cane.
“Good day, good friend. I seem to be lost. Could you help me find my way home ”
“Why bother ” The elf yawned. “I’d rather take a nap.” He rolled over and went back to sleep.
The beggar sighed. Then she sat down to think. Soon she heard some noise. She looked up to find an elf riding
a little horse. He wore like a prince.
“Silly elf,” the beggar said to herself in a low voice. “He thinks he’s someone special.”
“What’s troubling you, my friend ” he asked.
The beggar said, “Oh, dear prince, no one seems to care about my problems. I’ve asked three elves to help me get home. The first said, ‘Why me ’ The second said ‘Why now ’ The third said ‘Why bother ’ Would you help
me ”
The prince stopped for a moment and then said, “Why not ”
The beggar’s eyes lit up. “That’s the most wonderful answer of all!”
“But there’s something you should know,” the prince said, as he helped the beggar up on his horse. “I’m not
really a prince. I’m an ordinary elf with extraordinary dreams. That’s why I dress this way.”
“Well, there’s something you should know, too. I’m not really a lost and lonely beggar. I’m really a magical
fairy.”
The elf turned around, and sure enough, a fairy was sitting behind him.
“You are a prince, in more ways than one.” she said. “And your dreams will come true.” With a magic wand in
her hand, she waved it over his head.
51 ．Why did the fairy have difficulty making one of the elves’ wishes come true

B ．She couldn’t find an elf whose wish was worth her help.

D ．She could only make use of her magical gift on a half-moon night.

B ．They all felt too tired to help with the problem.

（2023·广东广州 · 校考二模）Isatou Ceesay was born in 1972 in a small village in the Gambia, Africa. As a
teenager, Ceesay was forced to drop out of school because of poverty. She used a woven basket to carry some goods to sell in the market to raise herself. When the basket broke, she took a plastic bag and started using it. She liked how strong and light the plastic bag was. Other people in the Gambia thought the same and saw the same advantages of plastic bags. Then plastic bags became popular in the Gambia. The problem was that people did not reuse the bags
and simply threw them behind their homes. Over time, the houses in her village were surrounded by rubbish.
Ceesay lived in such an environment for many years. She kept learning from the surrounding environment and planned to take action to change it. In 1997, she started a recycling movement called One Plastic Bag in the Gambia. She educated women in the Gambia to recycle plastic waste. In the beginning, the movement had a task of educating villagers about the need to reuse rubbish and recycle plastic waste, rather than letting the rubbish increase behind
their homes.
Over time, the movement became big and was able to provide income for women around. It was also able to greatly reduce plastic waste in the Gambia. But the work of collecting rubbish turned out to be difficult. During the rainy season, plastic waste became wet and hard to take, and after that, it still took patience to dry it before it could
be processed.
Ceesay said, “As a habit, people are used to pouring their rubbish behind their houses, and because it is not visible, they forget it. But the bad effects knock on your door very quickly—dirty air, various diseases and so on. Of
course, if one man’s house is clean but his neighbor’s is not, then the man is also not healthy.”
For many years, Ceesay has continued to deal with the plastic waste. In 2012, she got the TIAW Difference Maker Award in Washington, DC, the United States. Her story was written into a book, which inspires many others
to make a change in their own communities.
55 ．Which of the following statement is TRUE according to paragraph 1
A ．Ceesay sold plastic bags to support herself. B ．Ceesay’s friends were good at doing business.
C ．Ceesay didn’t go to school for health reasons. D ．Ceesay’s village was polluted by plastic waste.
56 ．What can we infer about Ceesay’s recycling movement
A ．Women in the village are willing to recycle plastic waste.
B ．Few workers are needed to do the recycling work.
C ．It improved people’s income and the environment.
D ．It mainly wanted to help people become rich.
57 ．What do we learn from Ceesay’s words
A ．Bad habits are hard to change once formed.
B ．Plastic problems lead greatly to climate change.
C ．The relationship between neighbors is important.
D ．Dealing with plastic waste is a shared responsibility.
58 ．Ceesay won the TIAW Difference Maker Award in 2012 because of .
A ．her ability to work on her own B ．her idea to help the poor to become rich
C ．her efforts in protecting the environment D ．her story of becoming popular in the Gambia
