专题09 阅读理解之记叙文
【题型解读】
记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来，描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。消息、通讯、传记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体，都属于记叙文的范畴。记叙文是中考必考题型。
就写作顺序而言，记叙文要么是按时间顺序，要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。不管是哪种叙述方法，最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟，这是记叙文的精华所在，也是阅读的难点所在，可谓“一篇之妙，在于落句”。
人物故事类的阅读理解是中考英语的常考材料之一。这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类。
1、人物传记主要涉及某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长和奋斗历程等，其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，脉络清楚，可读性较强。
2、短篇故事与人物传记不同的是，这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查考生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
【命题规律】
从命题形式上看，常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。除了推论或词义辨识题，记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进，否则就会觉得别扭，逻辑不通。同时，记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，则取决于文章的落句，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。总之，细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。而寓意之类的题则是高一层次的题，有一定的难度和区分度，它们是拉开距离的题，答对了这些题，你才有可能成功地跻身高分之列。综上所述，记叙文的应对策略即：不漏细节，奠定基础；把准寓意，方能成功。
【解题技巧】
（1）顺藤摸瓜。
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。
（2）左顾右盼。
在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。
（3）刨根问底。
如前所述，主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如“What can be inferred from … ”或是What does the author imply in… ”之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。
（4）拨云见日。
每年的中考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。
这时，你不仅需要“左顾右盼”，还需要在几句话，一个段落，乃至整篇文章的字里行间中快速搜寻，看看前面、后面都发生了些什么；反复琢磨人物、事物，或者人物与事物之间的内在联系，才可能在最后拨开团团迷雾，从四个选项中选出正确答案。
【事实细节题】
细节理解题主要考查对文章(或某一段落)中某特定事实信息的捕捉和理解能力，通常包括直接细节理解题和间接细节理解题。直接细节理解题在原文中可直接找到答案，常用who， what，when，where，why和how等提问。说明文和叙述文的阅读题有相当一部分是此类题。间接细节理解题需要通过有关词语和句子的转换，依靠主要事实、图表、图形来获取信息，然后利用因果、类比、时间、空间等关系进行加工或整理后方能得出结论，此类试题在中考试题中占大多数。抓住文章或段落中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其他类型题的基础。
【判断推理题】
推理判断题要求考生根据文章提供的线索和事实进行逻辑推理，推测作者未提到的事实或某事发生的可能性，将间接论据连贯起来，得出一个合理的结论。合理，就是论推理有事实根据，而不是读者主观臆断的。推理判断题常以infer，suggest，conclude, learn，intend，mean，describe，purpose 等词提问。提问中往往含有表示推测的情态动词，如 can，could，might, would 等和其他表示可能性的副词，如probably，most likely 等。
【词义猜测题】
词义猜测是根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义，是英语阅读理解题重要出题方向之一，也是考查考生英语语言能力和文化品格的一种重要方式。词义猜测题可以针对单词、短语的意思进行命题考查，还可以针对某一句子的准确理解或代词的精确指代进行设题。除了直接考查单词或短语词义猜测外，在阅读理解文章中，总会有一些单词或短语超出了《考试大纲》词汇表的范围，但又没有附加注释，也需要考生猜测，这也是对词义猜测的一种间接考查。
词义猜测题的类型主要有三种: 熟词新义，要求学生在某一特定的语言环境中推断某一多义词的正确意思; 生词释义，要求学生根据范围较小的上下文推断出词义; 难句释义，要求学生根据范围稍大的上下文推断句意。
【主旨大意题】
主旨大意题对考生的归纳、概括能力有一定的要求。文章主旨大意一般有四种呈现形式：文首、文中、文尾、不明确给出(需要总结)。做这种题要掌握以下技巧：通读文章，重点把握首末段、首末句；作者反复强调的观点或文章中多次出现的词句通常是主旨；注意文中therefore, thus, but, however, in short等表达转折或总结的词语。主旨大意题是对整篇文章或者文章中个别段落大意的概括，属于高难度、高区分度的题目。主旨大意题主要考查学生在理解全文的基础上对文章内容进行归纳、概括和总结的能力。根据其考查范围，可以分为段落大意题、全文大意题、最佳标题。

My family joined an environmental protection club named Green Future—a club to remind people to protect the earth. So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible.
My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins. He made the least rubbish in our family.
My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing!
My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves. She did a good job!
I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I hardly ever had snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!
I’ve learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less rubbish. We should start with small actions to protect the earth!

“Look at this,” I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the bright-red paper. “There’s a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer!”
Mandy looked at the paper, “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair and we always go to the fair.” Mandy handed the paper back to me. “Tessa, you’re the artist, but I’m not,” she smiled. “My little brother thought the flowers I painted were spaceships.”
“You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I said in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone.
Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed (叹气) and dropped my head down on the red paper.
To relax myself, I went outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). When I sat on the stone, I thought about the art camp and wished I could be a little braver. Mandy could make friends with other kids in 10 minutes, but I always feel nervous when I don’t know anyone around me. So I decided to give up the camp.
A moment later, Mr. Weston, my neighbor, came. He told me something about the pine. The roots (根) of the pine couldn’t be too near the surface or too deep so that they could reach outward. He also praised me that I drew very well. After his leaving, I thought about what Mr. Weston had told me. It made me think about the art camp and my own roots. I wasn’t reaching them out at all. Instead, I was planting myself into one deep place because I felt safer. I suddenly realized that if I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too.
That night, I took a deep breath and made a new decision.

Bert won a national prize called Young Heroes for his “green” project. This publicspirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future.
_______ . When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers.
Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallow tail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school.
Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them,” he said.
Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight.

For his whole life, Peralta dreamed about playing catch.
When he was born, his right hand didn’t fully develop, with only tiny (极小的) fingers at the end of his arm. So he learned to write, eat and carry books with only one hand. Over the years, he lost hope that anything would change. On his first day of high school, he felt like hiding his hand in his sleeve (袖子), so nobody would ever find out.
But his classmates, to his surprise, supported him in a way he never expected. The school’s engineering teacher, Jeff Wilkins, came and told him that his students might be able to help. They offered to build Peralta a prosthetic (假体的) hand.
The students searched online and made a plan. After four weeks, they started the project. They used a common material in 3D printing as the hand’s main material. Another elastic (有弹性的) plastic material commonly found in phone covers was used to make the fingers flex (屈伸). They added a fishing line, so Peralta could tie the hand to his forearm.
Bob Cotter, the headmaster of the school, said, “The students have turned ideas into real ones and Peralta’s new prosthesis reflects that the students care about each other.”
Peralta was even able to catch a baseball with the prosthetic hand created by his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started freaking out,” Peralta said, “It was the first time I caught a ball with my right hand in my 15 years.”

I completed the task in less than 40 minutes. I realized that I was not different from others. I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problem, why should I ever give up
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words, “See what you can do when you keep trying ”

One day we went to pick up our grandson Mark at his school. It was a beautiful spring day so we went to the garden.
We noticed that Mark was sad. He said, “There is nothing special about me. Well, I am smaller than my elder brother and I am bigger than my younger brother.” I knew he felt that he, was not getting the same attention.
We walked a little farther into the woods when Mark asked me if we could throw rocks into the stream （小溪） to see which one would go to the farthest. I agreed. Then Mark said, “I am going to throw the biggest rock, because I know it will go the farthest.” Mark picked up the largest rock he could find and threw it. Although it made a very big splash（飞溅的水）, it didn’t go very far. Mark thought for a minute and said, “I am going to throw a little rock instead.” He picked up a little stone and threw it but it didn’t go very far because it was too little.
I thought this was a very good chance to teach him. I said, “Why don’t you pick up a medium-sized rock and see what happens ”
Mark picked up a medium-sized rock and threw it. Mark said, “Look, the middle-sized rock went the farthest!”
I smiled, “You see, Mark, you are like the middle-sized rock. In this situation the little rock was too light, the big rock was too heavy, but the middle-sized rock was just right. ”

【题型解读】
记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来，描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。消息、通讯、传记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体，都属于记叙文的范畴。记叙文是中考必考题型。
就写作顺序而言，记叙文要么是按时间顺序，要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。不管是哪种叙述方法，最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟，这是记叙文的精华所在，也是阅读的难点所在，可谓“一篇之妙，在于落句”。
人物故事类的阅读理解是中考英语的常考材料之一。这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类。
1、人物传记主要涉及某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长和奋斗历程等，其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，脉络清楚，可读性较强。
2、短篇故事与人物传记不同的是，这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查考生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
【命题规律】
从命题形式上看，常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。除了推论或词义辨识题，记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进，否则就会觉得别扭，逻辑不通。同时，记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，则取决于文章的落句，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。总之，细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。而寓意之类的题则是高一层次的题，有一定的难度和区分度，它们是拉开距离的题，答对了这些题，你才有可能成功地跻身高分之列。综上所述，记叙文的应对策略即：不漏细节，奠定基础；把准寓意，方能成功。
【解题技巧】
（1）顺藤摸瓜。
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。
（2）左顾右盼。
在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。
（3）刨根问底。
如前所述，主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如“What can be inferred from … ”或是What does the author imply in… ”之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。
（4）拨云见日。
每年的中考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。
这时，你不仅需要“左顾右盼”，还需要在几句话，一个段落，乃至整篇文章的字里行间中快速搜寻，看看前面、后面都发生了些什么；反复琢磨人物、事物，或者人物与事物之间的内在联系，才可能在最后拨开团团迷雾，从四个选项中选出正确答案。
【事实细节题】
细节理解题主要考查对文章(或某一段落)中某特定事实信息的捕捉和理解能力，通常包括直接细节理解题和间接细节理解题。直接细节理解题在原文中可直接找到答案，常用who， what，when，where，why和how等提问。说明文和叙述文的阅读题有相当一部分是此类题。间接细节理解题需要通过有关词语和句子的转换，依靠主要事实、图表、图形来获取信息，然后利用因果、类比、时间、空间等关系进行加工或整理后方能得出结论，此类试题在中考试题中占大多数。抓住文章或段落中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键，也是做好其他类型题的基础。
【判断推理题】
推理判断题要求考生根据文章提供的线索和事实进行逻辑推理，推测作者未提到的事实或某事发生的可能性，将间接论据连贯起来，得出一个合理的结论。合理，就是论推理有事实根据，而不是读者主观臆断的。推理判断题常以infer，suggest，conclude, learn，intend，mean，describe，purpose 等词提问。提问中往往含有表示推测的情态动词，如 can，could，might, would 等和其他表示可能性的副词，如probably，most likely 等。
【词义猜测题】
词义猜测是根据上下文推断单词和短语的含义，是英语阅读理解题重要出题方向之一，也是考查考生英语语言能力和文化品格的一种重要方式。词义猜测题可以针对单词、短语的意思进行命题考查，还可以针对某一句子的准确理解或代词的精确指代进行设题。除了直接考查单词或短语词义猜测外，在阅读理解文章中，总会有一些单词或短语超出了《考试大纲》词汇表的范围，但又没有附加注释，也需要考生猜测，这也是对词义猜测的一种间接考查。
词义猜测题的类型主要有三种: 熟词新义，要求学生在某一特定的语言环境中推断某一多义词的正确意思; 生词释义，要求学生根据范围较小的上下文推断出词义; 难句释义，要求学生根据范围稍大的上下文推断句意。
【主旨大意题】
主旨大意题对考生的归纳、概括能力有一定的要求。文章主旨大意一般有四种呈现形式：文首、文中、文尾、不明确给出(需要总结)。做这种题要掌握以下技巧：通读文章，重点把握首末段、首末句；作者反复强调的观点或文章中多次出现的词句通常是主旨；注意文中therefore, thus, but, however, in short等表达转折或总结的词语。主旨大意题是对整篇文章或者文章中个别段落大意的概括，属于高难度、高区分度的题目。主旨大意题主要考查学生在理解全文的基础上对文章内容进行归纳、概括和总结的能力。根据其考查范围，可以分为段落大意题、全文大意题、最佳标题。

My family joined an environmental protection club named Green Future—a club to remind people to protect the earth. So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible.
My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins. He made the least rubbish in our family.
My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing!
My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves. She did a good job!
I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I hardly ever had snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!

“Look at this,” I said to my friend Mandy, holding up the bright-red paper. “There’s a five-day art camp at White Cliff this summer!”
Mandy looked at the paper, “It’s during the last week of July,” she said. “That’s the same time as the Hill County Fair and we always go to the fair.” Mandy handed the paper back to me. “Tessa, you’re the artist, but I’m not,” she smiled. “My little brother thought the flowers I painted were spaceships.”
“You may not think you can draw, but you can learn,” I said in my most encouraging voice. I really didn’t want to go alone.
Later, I called my friends Emily and Yoshiko. Yoshiko was going to the fair, and Emily would be out of town in July. I sighed (叹气) and dropped my head down on the red paper.
To relax myself, I went outside to draw the Westons’ pine tree (松树). When I sat on the stone, I thought about the art camp and wished I could be a little braver. Mandy could make friends with other kids in 10 minutes, but I always feel nervous when I don’t know anyone around me. So I decided to give up the camp.
A moment later, Mr. Weston, my neighbor, came. He told me something about the pine. The roots (根) of the pine couldn’t be too near the surface or too deep so that they could reach outward. He also praised me that I drew very well. After his leaving, I thought about what Mr. Weston had told me. It made me think about the art camp and my own roots. I wasn’t reaching them out at all. Instead, I was planting myself into one deep place because I felt safer. I suddenly realized that if I wanted to grow, I had to start reaching out too.
That night, I took a deep breath and made a new decision.

Bert won a national prize called Young Heroes for his “green” project. This publicspirited young person was now a university student. His love for insects grew deeper and he was protecting them for the future.
_______ . When he was around 4 or 5, he always loved to watch different insects, especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶). One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad. And it was also fun to watch how they came into being. But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible. For example, if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails, you planted some zinnias, a kind of bright flowers.
Bert started a zinnia garden at his house, where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years. With the world’s swallow tail population falling, Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared, so would all the others above them on the food chain. To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students, he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school.
Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails. “Whenever a swallowtail lands on them, the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects. They develop a new appreciation for them,” he said.
Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it take flight.

For his whole life, Peralta dreamed about playing catch.
When he was born, his right hand didn’t fully develop, with only tiny (极小的) fingers at the end of his arm. So he learned to write, eat and carry books with only one hand. Over the years, he lost hope that anything would change. On his first day of high school, he felt like hiding his hand in his sleeve (袖子), so nobody would ever find out.
But his classmates, to his surprise, supported him in a way he never expected. The school’s engineering teacher, Jeff Wilkins, came and told him that his students might be able to help. They offered to build Peralta a prosthetic (假体的) hand.
The students searched online and made a plan. After four weeks, they started the project. They used a common material in 3D printing as the hand’s main material. Another elastic (有弹性的) plastic material commonly found in phone covers was used to make the fingers flex (屈伸). They added a fishing line, so Peralta could tie the hand to his forearm.
Bob Cotter, the headmaster of the school, said, “The students have turned ideas into real ones and Peralta’s new prosthesis reflects that the students care about each other.”
Peralta was even able to catch a baseball with the prosthetic hand created by his classmates. “When I caught it for the first time, everyone started freaking out,” Peralta said, “It was the first time I caught a ball with my right hand in my 15 years.”

As a teenager, school was difficult for me. I had a kind of attention disorder, which means I couldn’t direct my attention to what I was doing. So when everyone else in the class was centering their attention on tasks, I could not.
In my first reading class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all finished in 45 minutes. I immediately put up my hand and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to finish the task.”
She looked down at me through her glasses, saying, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” With her encouragement, I tried. But I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He Lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education.
