专题06 阅读理解之记叙文10篇
（2023下·北京海淀·高一首都师范大学附属中学校考期中）My morning routine varies little from day to day. I walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen counter with Katie and Matt, and then settle in for a day at the computer. And because I work mostly from home, I have learned that little walks into the outside world are important for psychological well-being. So before I begin attempting to put sentences together, I walk over to a little coffee shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the counter.
The coffee shop is on the other side of the historic Chesapeaker & Ohio Canal from my house. Whenever in season, tourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to India, at least into the 19th century.
One warm day last fall, I turned the corner to see one of the boatmen sitting alone on the boat, bathed in early-morning light. He was playing the violin. The scene stopped me in my tracks. What I witnessed could only be described as a perfect moment. Ten seconds at most. But months later I still remember just stand ng there, watching, listening, and taking it all in.
We all have such moments put before us. Little surprises. Whether we’re wise enough to see them is another thing.
I thought of the violin man one Sunday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed in the Columbia incident. The specialist Laurel Clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before it was to land, said it was blissful to see the simple unexpected wonders of space like a sunset. “There’s a flash; the whole payload bay turns this rosy pink,” she said. “It only lasts about 15 seconds, and then it’s gone.”
I once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because I never quite knew when she was going to spring it on me. It could come in the middle of a particularly lively dinner with old friends. Out of the blue, she’d say, “Stop! I want to remember this moment.” I realize now, after her death, what wise advice that is.
1．The author goes out for a walk every day in the morning mainly because __________.
A．she needs to walk the dog and enjoy the fresh air
B．she considers that it is good for her physical health
C．she hates to be left alone at home when others are out
D．she benefits psychologically from contacting the outside world
2．The underlined word “blissful” in Paragraph 5 probably means __________.
A．enjoyable B．valuable
C．sensible D．reasonable
3．The main purpose of the passage is to tell people to __________.
A．develop a good habit

（2023下·北京·高一北京交通大学附属中学校考期中）When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.
As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, but I was going to. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.
A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.
Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing ” I looked up and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”
When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction-not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.

（2023下·北京·高一北京八十中校考期中）Wang Shuang was just five when her parents divorced, dropped her at her uncle’s and left. Football, as it often is, became an escape.
At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behavior. As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname “Iron Girl”. And soon, she sensed the sport’s power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone”.
However, life was never smooth sailing. The constant jibes (嘲讽) from some people, who always tried to push her down and destroy her hopes, affected her so deeply that she lost confidence. “They were saying I had no talent at all. Gradually, I felt really so,” Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up at the age of 17, Wang thought, “Me Are you sure ” When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was excited that an excellent coach thought she was good. It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.”
Not any “bit of talent”; the genius is praised as China’s once-in-a-generation player.
China is a pioneer of women’s football in Asia and has won the continental championship nine times, including seven straight titles between 1986 and 1999. That was their golden age. Gradually, though, the dynasty declined (衰退). It is hoped that Wang will inspire the women’s football of the country to its former height.
Coaches are almost always hesitant to speak about individual players. But when coach Shui Qingxia was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldn’t stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down. When they lacked a quality ball，she delivered two high assists that finally led her team into the quarterfinal(四分之一决赛).
“Nobody knows how hard it was,” declared Wang after the match. “We overcame difficulties. We also showed our strong spiritual power. I am proud of my team. ”
8．What can we infer about Wang from the second paragraph
A．She earned a living on her own.
B．She was released from the team.
C．She was laughed at by the boys.
D．She found a sense of belonging.
9．How did Wang regain faith in her abilities
A．By winning recognition.
B．By obtaining inspiration.
C．By playing in the national team.
D．By ignoring other people’s jibes.
10．What’s the best title for the text
A．Wang Shuang: A Steel Rose
B．Wang Shuang: A Child Genius
C．Wang Shuang:A Football Pioneer
D．Wang Shuang: A Golden Age Creator
【答案】8．D 9．A 10．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了中国女子足球运动员王霜的个人经历和成就。
8．推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behaviour. As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname “Iron Girl.” And soon, she sensed the sport’s power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone.”(7岁时，她被教练徐一龙（音译）看中，徐一龙发现王霜活泼好动。作为男队中唯一的女生，王霜的表现令人印象深刻，为她赢得了“铁妹”的绰号。很快，她就感受到这项运动的力量。足球让她“释放自我”，并意识到“无论发生什么，足球永远不会让你孤单。”)”可知，王霜认为足球能让她释放自己，意识到，无论发生什么，足球永远不会让她孤单。由此可推知，王霜从足球身上感受到了一种归属感。故选D项。
9．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“When she was called up to the national team, aged 17, Wang thought, “Me Are you sure ” When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was “excited that an excellent coach thought I was good.” It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.”(17岁那年，当她被征召进国家队时，她想：“我？你确定吗？”当一家世界著名的俱乐部想要签下她时，她“很兴奋，因为一位优秀的教练认为我很出色。”直到那时，她才对自己的能力充满信心。“我觉得自己被认可了。也许我还是有点天赋的。”)”可知，在被招进国家队，自己的能力被认可时，王霜才对自己的能力充满信心。故选A项。
10．主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章第一段提到了足球对儿时的王霜来说是一种逃避；第二段提到了王霜7岁时被教练看中，加入足球队进行训练；第三段提到了王霜曾受到周围人的打击和嘲笑而不自信，但被招进国家队后重拾了信心；第四、五、六、七段介绍了王霜的相关成就。由此可知，本文主要介绍了王霜的个人经历，跌宕起伏，但依然保持对足球的热情和初心，犹如绽放的铿锵玫瑰。A项“Wang Shuang: A Steel Rose(“铿锵玫瑰”王霜)”更符合文章主题。故选A项。
（2023下·北京·高一北京师大附中校考期中）Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Japanese composer who died on March 28, 2023, was a talented musician. For many, his combination of noisy notes and joyous ones made him timeless and avant-garde (前卫的). But for me, Sakamoto was first and foremost a creator of complex emotions.
Before I learned to love Sakamoto, my mother loved him. After her days studying textiles (纺织) at a women’s college in our hometown of Nagoya, Japan, she would come home and play the Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence theme over and over. When she sat at her piano bench, she was trying to mold herself into the most attracting woman that she could be. Still, her childhood desire for a bigger life never died. Years later, when she played it again on that same piano, now transported to our Chicago home, her hands would crash down on Sakamoto’s drumming and upset bridge. It seemed that she buried herself in her younger dream and at the same time got lost in the reality of living away from her home and family. Both the joy of a fulfilled dream and the sorrow of its harsh realities mixed in Sakamoto’s score, pervading (弥漫) our living room.
Following in my mother’s footsteps, I too learned to play Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. I played it in an open music room at college, where I was quite depressed under the gaze of strangers as well as excited about becoming my own adult. I played Sakamoto again in my then-boyfriend’s grandparents’ sitting room, the piece now reflecting my struggle to see how my Japanese and American self could fit into this white family, even though I was in love.
Sakamoto’s genius for telling the contradictions (矛盾) of existence arises again and again. I’m still playing Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, now at the electric piano in my living room, as I puzzle through becoming a new mother, frightened and thrilled at the same time. Maybe someday my daughter will play Sakamoto’s music, and it will help her understand her life too.
11．The author loves Sakamoto for_________.
A．his Japanese identity
B．his talent as a composer
C．his way to combine notes
D．his creation of mixed emotions
12．How did the author’s mother feel when she played Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence in Chicago
A．Contented with her current life.
B．Joyful and sorry at the same time
C．Annoyed with the difficult bridge
D．Lonely and upset away from home.
13．What is this passage mainly about
A．The life and accomplishments of Ryuichi Sakamoto.
B．The challenges of being a Japanese-American woman.
C．Contradicting emotions aroused by Sakamoto’s music.
D．A mother and daughter’s shared love for playing the piano.
【答案】11．D 12．B 13．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要通过讲述作者及其母亲对日本作曲家Ryuichi Sakamoto音乐的喜爱，介绍了其音乐引起的矛盾的思想情感。
11．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But for me, Sakamoto was first and foremost a creator of complex emotions. (但对我来说，Sakamoto首先是一个复杂情感的创造者。)”可知，作者喜欢Sakamoto是因为他是复杂情感的缔造者。故选D项。
12．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Years later, when she played it again on that same piano, now transported to our Chicago home, her hands would crash down on Sakamoto’s drumming and upset bridge. It seemed that she buried herself in her younger dream and at the same time got lost in the reality of living away from her home and family. Both the joy of a fulfilled dream and the sorrow of its harsh realities mixed in Sakamoto’s score, pervading (弥漫) our living room. (多年以后，当她再次在那架钢琴上演奏这首歌时，她的手会在Sakamoto的击鼓和翻倒的桥面上崩溃。她似乎把自己埋在了年轻时的梦想中，同时又迷失在了远离家乡和家人的现实中。梦想实现的喜悦和残酷现实的悲伤交织在Sakamoto的乐谱中，弥漫在我们的客厅里。)”可知，作者的母亲在芝加哥弹奏这首乐曲时，似乎将自己满葬在年轻的梦想中，同时迷失在远离家乡的现实中，由此可知，这种复杂的情感中既有实现梦想的快乐，又充斥着远离家乡的悲痛。故选B项。
13．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“For many, his combination of noisy notes and joyous ones made him timeless and avant-garde (前卫的). But for me, Sakamoto was first and foremost a creator of complex emotions.”可知，Sakamoto是复杂情感的缔造者，也是作者喜欢他乐曲的原因，结合下文中介绍的作者及母亲在演奏Sakamoto乐曲时的矛盾又复杂的情感感受可知，本文主要关于由Sakamoto音乐唤起的矛盾的情感。故选C项。
（2023下·北京·高一北京市广渠门中学校考期中）One day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet.
Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift, and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your fight. Good luck!”
Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my baggage into the bus and had hung my banjo (班卓琴) over my back when the bus driver said, “What Are you going to play that on my bus ” “Well, I really did not plan on it,” I replied.“I was only kidding,”said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don’t like it ” “Then tell me and I’ll stop,” I replied.
We drove off, and the tension made the atmosphere inside the bus horrendous! Then I started performing the old standard Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song.
One song led to another. Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight.
The bus driver called, “We made it! We never would have done it without the help of our banjo player.” Shouts of approval rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few even exchanged hugs.
A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience.
14．What can we learn from paragraph 2
A．The driver was glad to take them to Seattle.
B．The driver was too tired to send them to Seattle.
C．The driver was late because he just came off the night shift.
D．The driver thought they would have difficulty making it to Seattle.
15．What does the underlined word “horrendous” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Boring. B．Strange. C．Terrible. D．Cheerful.
16．What is the text mainly about
A．A great banjo play.
B．A wonderful musical bus ride.
C．The amazing friendship on a bus.
D．An unforgettable experience at the airport.
【答案】14．C 15．C 16．B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过美妙的音乐，缓解了紧张的气氛，最终大家顺利乘坐巴士到达机场。
14．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift, and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your fight. Good luck!” (最后，公共汽车停了下来，司机说：“他们刚把我从床上拉起来，我上了一整夜的班，他们希望我能及时把您送到西雅图，赶上您的航班。祝您好运!”)”可知，司机迟到了，因为他刚下夜班。故选C。
15．词句猜测题。根据上文“Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. (不用说，每个人的心情都很糟糕。)”可知，划线词所在的句子意思是：我们开车离开了，紧张的气氛使车内的气氛变得可怕！由此可知，horrendous意为“可怕的”。故选C。
16．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述作者通过美妙的音乐，缓解了紧张的登机气氛，最终大家顺利乘坐巴士到达机场，所以“一次美妙的音乐巴士之旅”可以作为文章标题。故选B。
（2023上·北京·高一北京交通大学附属中学校考期中）Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, a photographer and reporter, photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining photo collections. As she took the photo, a thought flashed through her mind. “I told them I could take the ruined/destroyed pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos,” she recalls. Although a bit sceptical/doubt, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their home. “It felt so good to be able to do that for them,” says Rebecca.
When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore destroyed photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up Operation Photo Rescue in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase/remove the water spots/mud and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website mentioned the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.
Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending valuable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out lots of destroyed photo collections after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn’t lose a few treasured pictures, including a picture of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. “I didn’t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did,” Emily says. “Almost every day I think about all the pictures I’ve lost. I’m so happy to have these two.”
In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures. Volunteers make “copy runs” to areas across the country to gather destroyed photos. “It’s great to be able to give people some of their history back,” says Rebecca. “One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Things like that remind me why I do this.”
17．When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to ______.
A．take them to their temporary home B．set up shop in Pass Christian
C．fight against Hurricane Katrina D．help with their destroyed photos
18．From Paragraph 2, we know that Dave and Rebecca ______.
A．quit their jobs in 2006 B．spent four days mending the photos
C．inspired volunteers to join them D．made their work known in their newspaper
19．How did Emily Lancaster feel when she first heard about Operation Photo Rescue
A．Sceptical/Unsure. B．Satisfied. . C．Excited D．Hopeless
20．What is the best title for the passage
A．Run away from Hurricanes B．Saving Memories
C．An Act of patience D．A Lucky Couple
【答案】17．B 18．C 19．A 20．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙写了摄影记者丽贝卡塞尔和编辑戴夫埃利斯通过照片修复，他们让很多人丢失的记忆得到恢复，同时，也赢得了人们的肯定。
17．细节理解题。根据文章第一段““I told them I could take the ruined/destroyed pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos,” she recalls. (“我告诉他们，我可以把毁坏的照片复制出来，然后给他们数码修复的照片，”她回忆说)”可知，摄影记者丽贝卡塞尔会帮助他们修复受损的照片。故选B。
18．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It just so happened that a popular website mentioned the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help. (碰巧，一个热门网站提到了这次经历，很快，“照片救援行动”收到了数百名志愿者的电子邮件，其中包括摄影师和修复专家，他们渴望提供帮助)”可知，他们的行动鼓舞了其他的志愿者加入。故选C。
19．推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I didn’t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did,” Emily says. (“我不抱太大希望他们能修好它们，但他们修好了，”艾米丽说)”可推知，艾米丽最初对能够修复照片是怀疑的，不确定的。故选A。
20．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“ “It’s great to be able to give people some of their history back,” says Rebecca. “One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away.

（2023下·北京·高一人大附中校考期中）When I was growing up, my family kept chickens. We always had about a dozen of them at any given time and whenever one died—taken away by hawks or foxes or by some obscure chicken illness—my father would replace the lost chicken.
He’d drive to a nearby poultry farm and return with a new chicken in a bag. The thing is, you must be very careful when introducing a new chicken to the general flock. You can’t just throw it in there with the old chickens, or they will see it as an invader. What you must do instead is to slip the new bird into the chicken house in the middle of the night while the others are asleep. Place her beside the flock and walked away quietly. In the morning, when the chickens wake up, they don’t notice the newcomer, thinking only, “She must have been here all the time since I didn’t see her arrive.”The clincher of it is, awaking within this flock, the newcomer herself doesn’t even remember that she’s a newcomer, thinking only, “I must have been here the whole time...”
My arrival in India does likewise.
My plane landed in Mumbai around 1:30 AM. It was December 30. I found my luggage, and then found the taxi that would take me hours hours out of the city to the Ashram, located in a remote rural village. I fell asleep on the drive through nighttime India, sometimes waking up to look out the window, where I could see thin women in saris walking alongside the road with bundles of firewood on their heads. Buses with no headlights passed us, and we passed cattle carts.The banyan trees spread their elegant roots throughout the ditches.
21．The author writes Paragraph 1 to __________ .
A．make a summary of his childhood
B．tell readers about his family members
C．arouse readers’ interest in the passage
D．To introduce the following paragraphs
22．What does the underlined word “flock” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．house B．group C．farm D．chicken
23．What is the author most probably going to talk about next
A．His working plans in the new place
B．The uniqueness of the village culture.
C．How he quickly adjusted to local life.
D．Why he traveled to Ashram in India.
【答案】21．D 22．B 23．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者借助小时候爸爸养鸡的故事，讲述了自己到达印度，在陌生的环境中快速适应新的生活的故事。
21．推理判断题。结合第二段讲述作者的父亲如何让新来的鸡仔适应原有的鸡群，以及第三段“My arrival in India does likewise.(我抵达印度也是如此)”推知，第一段是为了引入后续段落，故选D项。
22．词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词下文“You can’t just throw it in there with the old chickens or they will see it as an invader (你不能把它扔进老母鸡里面去，否则的话它们会认为它是入侵者)”可推理出，划线词的含义应为“群体”，即“当你把一只新鸡带入普通鸡群时，你必须非常小心”。故选B项。
23．推理判断题。根据第二段“Place her beside the flock and walked away quietly. In the morning, when the chickens wake up, they don’t notice the newcomer, thinking only, “She must have been here all the time since I didn’t see her arrive.”The clincher of it is,awaking within this flock, the newcomer herself doesn’t even remember that she’s a newcomer(把她放在鸡群旁边，静静地走开。早上，当鸡醒来时，它们没有注意到新来的，只想着：“我没看到她来，她一定一直在这里。”关键是，在这群鸡中，新来的鸡自己都不记得自己是新来的)”可知，作者用新来的鸡能迅速适应环境来比喻自己，结合作者也是晚上来到印度推知，接下来作者会叙述自己如何快速地适应当地生活，故选C项。
（2022上·北京·高一首都师范大学附属中学校考期中）On the day he almost died, Kimbal Musk had food on the brain. The Internet startup talent and restauranteur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot-how he might make a difference to the food industry-but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope and fell over, breaking his neck.
Musk eventually make a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to save money on groceries, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “It’s not difficult. Anyone can do this, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live. We are all able to grow something,” says Musk.
24．What inspired Musk to make a difference to food industry
A．The pandemic. B．A skiing accident.
C．Jamie Oliver’s speech. D．The farm-to-table movement.
25．What does the Million Gardens Movement focus on
A．Encouraging people to preserve nature.
B．Providing free food for low-income families.
C．Promoting “learning gardens” across schools.
D．Educating new gardens to grow their own food.
26．Which of the following best describes Musk
A．Charity-minded. B．Stubborn. C．Easy-going. D．Scholarly.
【答案】24．C 25．D 26．A
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Musk在受Jamie Oliver演讲的启发后，创立百万个家庭花园，鼓励和教授人们自己种植自己的食物，来让自己吃的食物更健康。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Internet startup talent and restaurateur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot—how he might make a difference to the food industry（这位互联网创业天才和餐馆老板刚刚参加完Jackson Hole的一个会议抵达Jackson Hole，会上主厨Jamie Oliver谈到了健康饮食的好处。这让马斯克思考了很多——他如何能对食品行业作出改变）”可知Musk是在参加完Jamie Oliver的演讲之后开始考虑对食品行业作出改变，即受到了这个演讲的启发。故选C项。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives.（旨在惠及低收入家庭的百万花园运动受到流行病的启发，因为渴望与自然建立更多联系的愿望和粮食的不安全一直处于许多人生活的最前沿。）”可知渴望与自然的联系和粮食安全问题是人们咨询百万花园运动的主要原因；根据文章最后一段“It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “It’s not difficult. Anyone can do this, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live. We are all able to grow something,” says Musk.（它还提供免费课程，介绍如何让花园生长以及在不断变化的生长季节提供新鲜种子和材料。“这并不难。任何人都可以做到这一点，无论你来自哪里，无论你住在哪里。 我们都能够种植一些东西，”马斯克说。）”可知，百万花园计划是专门教人自己种植的；与前面人们咨询百万花园运动的原因结合起来，可推断，百万花园重点是教人们如何种植自己吃的食物，使人们吃的食物更健康，并增加人与自然之间的联系。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Aimed at reaching low-income families（旨在惠及低收入家庭）”可知Musk创立百万花园运动主要针对低收入家庭；由文章最后一段“The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors（该计划提供可以在室内或室外种植的免费花园套件）”可知他免费给人们提供种植套件；“It also offers free courses（它还提供免费课程）”可知Musk的计划还给人提供免费课程；综上所述，可推知Musk是富有慈善意识的；故选A项。
（2022下·北京·高一人大附中校考期中）It was a hot summer day, and I became thirsty. The sun was right above our heads, and my thirst became unbearable. My mouth was completely dry. We could see a village at the bottom of the mountain — four hours away, according to the smuggler. After a few minutes, however, we got to a small lake. The water was yellow and covered with algae, but the smuggler drank it and brought me a cup of water to drink. As I looked into the cup, I was reminded of the solution that we prepared in biology class in order to grow bacteria. This was the main source of water for the village. Who knows what microorganisms were swimming in that lake.
“I wouldn’t drink it if I were you,” my aunt said. But I closed my eyes and drank the whole cup at once. I would worry about the consequences later.
We reached the village just before sunset. After eating dinner and resting for several hours, we started to travel again. The night journey was magnificent. The sky was clear, the moon was full, and millions of stars seemed to be twinkling at the night travelers. We could hear the bells of another car a van coming from the opposite direction, getting louder and louder as it got close. The ding-a-ling of that caravan added a rhythm to the lonely desert.
Now we were on the land of the Freedom Fighters. We knew if they recognized the smuggler, they would kill all of us as spies. The Freedom Fighters and the Millitia are enemies to each other, and the Freedom Fighters did not trust anyone who was traveling with an agent.
At dawn we reached a small teahouse, where we had some tea and bread. We walked on, and soon a signpost got my attention. As I got closer, I was able to read the words: Welcome to Pakistan I started to cry, walking backwards to get one last glimpse of my beloved country.
27．The author hesitated to drink the water, because ________
A．it was prepared for biology class B．It was bitter to drink
C．only the villagers could drink it D．It might make the author sick
28．From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________
A．the travelers were singing to the rhythm of the bells
B．the other car a van rang the bells louder and louder
C．the author was in fairly high spirits while traveling
D．the ding-a-ling was an alarm warning danger to them
29．The author walked backwards because ________
A．he hated to leave his motherland B．he didn’t want to go to Pakistan
C．he was too tired to walk forwards D．He returned to where he was born
【答案】27．D 28．C 29．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了“我们”背井离乡，在去别国的旅途中遇到的各种困难以及担忧。
27．细节理解题。根据第一段中“As I looked into the cup, I was reminded of the solution that we prepared in biology class in order to grow bacteria. This was the main source of water for the village. Who knows what microorganisms were swimming in that lake.(当我看着杯子时，我想起了我们在生物课上准备的用来培养细菌的溶液。这是这个村庄的主要水源。谁知道湖里有什么微生物在游动)”可知，作者犹豫着要不要喝这杯水，因为它可能使作者生病。故选D。
28．细节理解题。根据第三段“We reached the village just before sunset. After eating dinner and resting for several hours, we started to travel again. The night journey was magnificent. The sky was clear, the moon was full, and millions of stars seemed to be twinkling at the night travelers. We could hear the bells of another car a van coming from the opposite direction, getting louder and louder as it got close. The ding-a-ling of that caravan added a rhythm to the lonely desert.(我们在日落前到达了那个村庄。吃过晚饭，休息了几个小时后，我们又开始了旅行。夜间的旅行很壮观。天空晴朗，月亮是圆的，无数的星星似乎在向夜行者闪烁。我们可以听到另一辆车的铃声——一辆厢式货车从相反的方向驶来，越近铃声就越响。那辆大篷车的丁当声给荒凉的沙漠增添了一种节奏)”可知，作者旅行时情绪高涨。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“As I got closer, I was able to read the words: Welcome to Pakistan I started to cry, walking backwards to get one last glimpse of my beloved country.(当我走近时，我看到上面写着：欢迎来到巴基斯坦。我哭了起来，倒着走，想最后看一眼我深爱的国家)”可知，作者深爱祖国，不远离开祖国，所以才会走回去看祖国最后一眼。故选A。
（2022下·北京通州·高一统考期中）In the mid-1950s, I was a bored boy student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day,this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson,Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数加减法).
Our teacher typically assigned (布置) daily homework,which would be checked in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算).
However, what I failed to expect was that several students were absent. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I tried my best to think of and decide which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me. but my brain couldn’t function at that moment.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14. “I...I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face burned with shame.
I thought a lot after class that day. Till now, I still remember what happened in that math class. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
30．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A．The author thought making an effort was important.
B．Mrs. Totten asked students to grade their homework themselves.
C．The author thought doing the necessary was enough.
D．The students were asked to answer homework questions together.
31．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.
A．requested her students to finish their usual questions
B．walked up and down when asking questions
C．chose two or three questions for the students
D．asked questions in a way that the author was familiar with
32．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because________.
A．several students didn’t come to school
B．the class didn’t begin as usual
C．Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
D．he suffered from a serious disease
33．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A．A Creative Student B．An Unforgettable Teacher
C．A Valuable Lesson D．An Effective Approach
【答案】30．C 31．D 32．A 33．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在八年级时，摸清老师提问规律，只做老师提问自己的几道题，终究因有同学缺课而无法确定自己要回答哪个题，而尴尬地面对老师，这节课给作者一次有价值的教训，也让作者明白了许多道理。
30．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“In the mid-1950s, I was a bored boy student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. (在20世纪50年代中期，我还是一个无聊的男生，认为做任何不必要的事情都是白费力气。)”可知，作者当年认为做必要的事就足够了。故选C项。
31．细节理解题。由第四段中的“Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. (托顿夫人经常在一排排的课桌前走来走去，按照作业纸上的问题出现的顺序一个接一个地要求学生回答问题。)”和第五段中的“Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. (因为我坐在大约35个学生中间，所以很容易弄清楚我可能要回答哪些问题。)”可知，因为老师总是有规律的提问，坐在中间位置的作者已经摸清老师的提问规律，提前确定自己要回答作业纸上的哪些问题。因为老师总是用自己熟悉的方式提问，所以作者可以想出该回答哪些问题。故选D项。
32．细节理解题。由第六段中的“However, what I failed to expect was that several students were absent.As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I tried my best to think of and decide which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me. but my brain couldn’t function at that moment. (然而，我没有想到的是有几个学生缺席了。当托顿夫人从这堂课开始时一路走过来，我尽我最大的努力去思考和决定我要做哪道数学题。我想在她找到我之前解决问题。但那一刻我的大脑无法运转。)”和第七段“When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14. ‘I…I didn’t get anything,’ I answered, and my face burned with shame. (托顿夫人走到我的桌前，问我第14题的答案是什么。‘我……我不知道，’我回答，我的脸因羞愧而发红。)”可知，因为那天有几个学生没来上学，破坏了回答问题的顺序，作者就没有回答出问题。故选A项。
33．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“I thought a lot after class that day. Till now, I still remember what happened in that math class. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. (那天下课后我想了很多。直到现在。我还记得数学课上发生的事。如果我可以选择一个让我学到最多东西的一天，那一定是那一天。)”可知，文章讲述了作者八年级时，认为做任何不必要的事情都是白费力气，还摸熟了老师提问的规律，只做几道老师会提问到自己的问题，但因为那一天有几个学生没来上学，破坏了回答问题的顺序，作者就没有回答出问题。那堂数学课上所发生的尴尬的事情，给作者一次有价值的教训，也让作者明白了许多道理。由此可知，D项“A Valuable Lesson (宝贵的教训)”适合做本文最佳标题。故选D项。专题06 阅读理解之记叙文10篇
（2023下·北京海淀·高一首都师范大学附属中学校考期中）My morning routine varies little from day to day. I walk the dog, eat breakfast at the kitchen counter with Katie and Matt, and then settle in for a day at the computer. And because I work mostly from home, I have learned that little walks into the outside world are important for psychological well-being. So before I begin attempting to put sentences together, I walk over to a little coffee shop in my neighborhood, and chat with the folks behind the counter.
The coffee shop is on the other side of the historic Chesapeaker & Ohio Canal from my house. Whenever in season, tourists line up to take a slow boat, if not to India, at least into the 19th century.
One warm day last fall, I turned the corner to see one of the boatmen sitting alone on the boat, bathed in early-morning light. He was playing the violin. The scene stopped me in my tracks. What I witnessed could only be described as a perfect moment. Ten seconds at most. But months later I still remember just stand ng there, watching, listening, and taking it all in.
We all have such moments put before us. Little surprises. Whether we’re wise enough to see them is another thing.
I thought of the violin man one Sunday afternoon while reading the biographies of those killed in the Columbia incident. The specialist Laurel Clark, talking from the shuttle a few days before it was to land, said it was blissful to see the simple unexpected wonders of space like a sunset. “There’s a flash; the whole payload bay turns this rosy pink,” she said. “It only lasts about 15 seconds, and then it’s gone.”
I once had a friend who had a strange habit that never stopped to amuse me, maybe because I never quite knew when she was going to spring it on me. It could come in the middle of a particularly lively dinner with old friends. Out of the blue, she’d say, “Stop! I want to remember this moment.” I realize now, after her death, what wise advice that is.
1．The author goes out for a walk every day in the morning mainly because __________.
A．she needs to walk the dog and enjoy the fresh air
B．she considers that it is good for her physical health
C．she hates to be left alone at home when others are out
D．she benefits psychologically from contacting the outside world
2．The underlined word “blissful” in Paragraph 5 probably means __________.
A．enjoyable B．valuable
C．sensible D．reasonable
3．The main purpose of the passage is to tell people to __________.
A．develop a good habit
B．enjoy life to the fullest
C．catch the valuable moments in life
D．be willing to follow friends’ advice
（2023下·北京·高一北京交通大学附属中学校考期中）When school started on that warm August day, I threw myself into everything I did, including playing volleyball. I decided to become beautiful, or at the very least, skinny. I stopped eating completely. Soon I began losing weight, which thrilled me, and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet, for those feelings meant that I was winning.
As the season progressed, things had become tense between my head volleyball coach, Coach Smith, and me. She felt that something was wrong with my health. She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn’t listen to her when she tried to make me eat. She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly. Then my hunger started to affect my performance. I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle. One afternoon, with hurt in her eyes, Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet, but I was going to. She looked at me, disappointment in her eyes, knowing she couldn’t make me stop, and walked away.
A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team. I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me. I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful, and I had probably ruined hers as well. So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her.
Then one Saturday, as I was reading in the library, I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly, “Lynn Jones, how are you doing ” I looked up and saw the familiar face. “Thanks for the letter,” she said. “It meant a lot.”
When I think of a coach, I think of someone above me, someone who gives instruction-not a friend. But Coach Smith is different, and, like any other good friend, she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time. I didn’t deserve her kindness, but she gave it anyway. I will forever be grateful for her help, and now for her friendship.
4．How did the author feel when the author ate a poor diet and had a sense of tiredness
A．Ashamed B．Proud C．Funny D．Nervous
5．The author fought with Coach Smith because ________.
A．she refused to go on a diet. B．she caused failure of her team.
C．she changed the training course. D．she kept her idea of losing weight.
6．Why did the author write a letter to Coach Smith
A．She felt sorry for eating too little food.
B．She decided to improve her performance.
C．She was grateful for Smith’s care for her health.
D．She wanted to build a close relationship with Smith.
7．What is the best title for the passage
A．Unexpected Friendship B．A Fight with My Coach
C．A Strict Volleyball Coach D．My Way of Losing Weight
（2023下·北京·高一北京八十中校考期中）Wang Shuang was just five when her parents divorced, dropped her at her uncle’s and left. Football, as it often is, became an escape.
At seven, she was spotted by coach Xu Yilong, who found Wang quick in her playful behavior. As the only girl in the boys’ team, Wang’s performances were impressive, earning her the nickname “Iron Girl”. And soon, she sensed the sport’s power. Football allowed her to “release herself” and realize “whatever happens, football never leaves you alone”.
However, life was never smooth sailing. The constant jibes (嘲讽) from some people, who always tried to push her down and destroy her hopes, affected her so deeply that she lost confidence. “They were saying I had no talent at all. Gradually, I felt really so,” Wang once wrote. But never did she stop playing. When she was called up at the age of 17, Wang thought, “Me Are you sure ” When a world-famous club wanted to sign her, she was excited that an excellent coach thought she was good. It was only then that she felt confident in her abilities. “I felt recognized. Perhaps I had a bit of talent after all.”
Not any “bit of talent”; the genius is praised as China’s once-in-a-generation player.
China is a pioneer of women’s football in Asia and has won the continental championship nine times, including seven straight titles between 1986 and 1999. That was their golden age. Gradually, though, the dynasty declined (衰退). It is hoped that Wang will inspire the women’s football of the country to its former height.
Coaches are almost always hesitant to speak about individual players. But when coach Shui Qingxia was asked about Wang before the match against Vietnam, she couldn’t stop mentioning her influence on the team. Unfailingly performing on the big stage, Wang did not let her team down. When they lacked a quality ball，she delivered two high assists that finally led her team into the quarterfinal(四分之一决赛).
“Nobody knows how hard it was,” declared Wang after the match. “We overcame difficulties. We also showed our strong spiritual power. I am proud of my team. ”
8．What can we infer about Wang from the second paragraph
A．She earned a living on her own.
B．She was released from the team.
C．She was laughed at by the boys.
D．She found a sense of belonging.
9．How did Wang regain faith in her abilities
A．By winning recognition.
B．By obtaining inspiration.
C．By playing in the national team.
D．By ignoring other people’s jibes.

D．Wang Shuang: A Golden Age Creator
（2023下·北京·高一北京师大附中校考期中）Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Japanese composer who died on March 28, 2023, was a talented musician. For many, his combination of noisy notes and joyous ones made him timeless and avant-garde (前卫的). But for me, Sakamoto was first and foremost a creator of complex emotions.
Before I learned to love Sakamoto, my mother loved him. After her days studying textiles (纺织) at a women’s college in our hometown of Nagoya, Japan, she would come home and play the Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence theme over and over. When she sat at her piano bench, she was trying to mold herself into the most attracting woman that she could be. Still, her childhood desire for a bigger life never died. Years later, when she played it again on that same piano, now transported to our Chicago home, her hands would crash down on Sakamoto’s drumming and upset bridge. It seemed that she buried herself in her younger dream and at the same time got lost in the reality of living away from her home and family. Both the joy of a fulfilled dream and the sorrow of its harsh realities mixed in Sakamoto’s score, pervading (弥漫) our living room.
Following in my mother’s footsteps, I too learned to play Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. I played it in an open music room at college, where I was quite depressed under the gaze of strangers as well as excited about becoming my own adult. I played Sakamoto again in my then-boyfriend’s grandparents’ sitting room, the piece now reflecting my struggle to see how my Japanese and American self could fit into this white family, even though I was in love.
Sakamoto’s genius for telling the contradictions (矛盾) of existence arises again and again. I’m still playing Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, now at the electric piano in my living room, as I puzzle through becoming a new mother, frightened and thrilled at the same time. Maybe someday my daughter will play Sakamoto’s music, and it will help her understand her life too.
11．The author loves Sakamoto for_________.
A．his Japanese identity
B．his talent as a composer
C．his way to combine notes
D．his creation of mixed emotions
12．How did the author’s mother feel when she played Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence in Chicago
A．Contented with her current life.
B．Joyful and sorry at the same time
C．Annoyed with the difficult bridge
D．Lonely and upset away from home.
13．What is this passage mainly about
A．The life and accomplishments of Ryuichi Sakamoto.
B．The challenges of being a Japanese-American woman.
C．Contradicting emotions aroused by Sakamoto’s music.
D．A mother and daughter’s shared love for playing the piano.
（2023下·北京·高一北京市广渠门中学校考期中）One day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the planes were having problems and they would not be able to fly! And it was suggested that a bus would be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet.
Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift, and they expect me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your fight. Good luck!”
Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my baggage into the bus and had hung my banjo (班卓琴) over my back when the bus driver said, “What Are you going to play that on my bus ” “Well, I really did not plan on it,” I replied.“I was only kidding,”said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don’t like it ” “Then tell me and I’ll stop,” I replied.
We drove off, and the tension made the atmosphere inside the bus horrendous! Then I started performing the old standard Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song.
One song led to another. Everyone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight.
The bus driver called, “We made it! We never would have done it without the help of our banjo player.” Shouts of approval rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few even exchanged hugs.
A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with just a song or a bit of friendship, you can turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience.

（2023上·北京·高一北京交通大学附属中学校考期中）Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, a photographer and reporter, photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining photo collections. As she took the photo, a thought flashed through her mind. “I told them I could take the ruined/destroyed pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos,” she recalls. Although a bit sceptical/doubt, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their home. “It felt so good to be able to do that for them,” says Rebecca.
When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore destroyed photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up Operation Photo Rescue in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase/remove the water spots/mud and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website mentioned the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.
Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending valuable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out lots of destroyed photo collections after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn’t lose a few treasured pictures, including a picture of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. “I didn’t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did,” Emily says. “Almost every day I think about all the pictures I’ve lost. I’m so happy to have these two.”
In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures. Volunteers make “copy runs” to areas across the country to gather destroyed photos. “It’s great to be able to give people some of their history back,” says Rebecca. “One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Things like that remind me why I do this.”
17．When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to ______.
A．take them to their temporary home B．set up shop in Pass Christian
C．fight against Hurricane Katrina D．help with their destroyed photos
18．From Paragraph 2, we know that Dave and Rebecca ______.
A．quit their jobs in 2006 B．spent four days mending the photos
C．inspired volunteers to join them D．made their work known in their newspaper
19．How did Emily Lancaster feel when she first heard about Operation Photo Rescue
A．Sceptical/Unsure. B．Satisfied. . C．Excited D．Hopeless
20．What is the best title for the passage
A．Run away from Hurricanes B．Saving Memories
C．An Act of patience D．A Lucky Couple
（2023下·北京·高一人大附中校考期中）When I was growing up, my family kept chickens. We always had about a dozen of them at any given time and whenever one died—taken away by hawks or foxes or by some obscure chicken illness—my father would replace the lost chicken.
He’d drive to a nearby poultry farm and return with a new chicken in a bag. The thing is, you must be very careful when introducing a new chicken to the general flock. You can’t just throw it in there with the old chickens, or they will see it as an invader. What you must do instead is to slip the new bird into the chicken house in the middle of the night while the others are asleep. Place her beside the flock and walked away quietly. In the morning, when the chickens wake up, they don’t notice the newcomer, thinking only, “She must have been here all the time since I didn’t see her arrive.”The clincher of it is, awaking within this flock, the newcomer herself doesn’t even remember that she’s a newcomer, thinking only, “I must have been here the whole time...”
My arrival in India does likewise.
My plane landed in Mumbai around 1:30 AM. It was December 30. I found my luggage, and then found the taxi that would take me hours hours out of the city to the Ashram, located in a remote rural village. I fell asleep on the drive through nighttime India, sometimes waking up to look out the window, where I could see thin women in saris walking alongside the road with bundles of firewood on their heads. Buses with no headlights passed us, and we passed cattle carts.The banyan trees spread their elegant roots throughout the ditches.

The Internet startup talent and restauranteur had just arrived in Jackson Hole from a conference where chef Jamie Oliver had spoken about the benefits of healthy eating. This made Musk think a lot-how he might make a difference to the food industry-but beyond expanding his farm-to-table movement along with his restaurant, Musk hadn’t yet broken the code. Then he went sailing down a snowy slope and fell over, breaking his neck.
Musk eventually make a full recovery, but it involved spending two months on his back, which gave him plenty of time to come up with a plan. Since then, he has launched an initiative to put “learning gardens” in public schools across America; attracted Generation Z to the farming profession by changing shipping containers into high-tech, data-driven, year-round farms; and this year, is kicking off a new campaign to create one million at-home gardens.
Aimed at reaching low-income families, the Million Gardens Movement was inspired by the pandemic, as both a desire to feel more connected to nature and food insecurity have been at the forefront of so many people’s lives. “We were getting a lot of inquiries about gardening from people that had never gardened before,” says Musk. “People were looking to garden for a bunch of reasons: to save money on groceries, to improve the nutritional quality of their diets, or just to cure the boredom that came with the lockdown.”
The program offers free garden kits that can be grown indoors or outdoors, and will be distributed through schools that Musk’s non-profit, Big Green, has already partnered with. It also offers free courses on how to get the garden growing and fresh seeds and materials for the changing growing seasons. “It’s not difficult. Anyone can do this, no matter where you come from, no matter where you live. We are all able to grow something,” says Musk.

（2022下·北京·高一人大附中校考期中）It was a hot summer day, and I became thirsty. The sun was right above our heads, and my thirst became unbearable. My mouth was completely dry. We could see a village at the bottom of the mountain — four hours away, according to the smuggler. After a few minutes, however, we got to a small lake. The water was yellow and covered with algae, but the smuggler drank it and brought me a cup of water to drink. As I looked into the cup, I was reminded of the solution that we prepared in biology class in order to grow bacteria. This was the main source of water for the village. Who knows what microorganisms were swimming in that lake.
“I wouldn’t drink it if I were you,” my aunt said. But I closed my eyes and drank the whole cup at once. I would worry about the consequences later.
We reached the village just before sunset. After eating dinner and resting for several hours, we started to travel again. The night journey was magnificent. The sky was clear, the moon was full, and millions of stars seemed to be twinkling at the night travelers. We could hear the bells of another car a van coming from the opposite direction, getting louder and louder as it got close. The ding-a-ling of that caravan added a rhythm to the lonely desert.
Now we were on the land of the Freedom Fighters. We knew if they recognized the smuggler, they would kill all of us as spies. The Freedom Fighters and the Millitia are enemies to each other, and the Freedom Fighters did not trust anyone who was traveling with an agent.
At dawn we reached a small teahouse, where we had some tea and bread. We walked on, and soon a signpost got my attention. As I got closer, I was able to read the words: Welcome to Pakistan I started to cry, walking backwards to get one last glimpse of my beloved country.

（2022下·北京通州·高一统考期中）In the mid-1950s, I was a bored boy student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day,this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson,Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数加减法).
Our teacher typically assigned (布置) daily homework,which would be checked in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算).
However, what I failed to expect was that several students were absent. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I tried my best to think of and decide which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me. but my brain couldn’t function at that moment.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No.14. “I...I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face burned with shame.
I thought a lot after class that day. Till now, I still remember what happened in that math class. If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
