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。
记叙文 (2023年新高考卷I卷，B)
When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
1．What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs
A．He was fond of traveling. B．He enjoyed being alone.
C．He had an inquiring mind. D．He longed to be a doctor.
2．Why did John put the sludge into the tanks
A．To feed the animals. B．To build an ecosystem.
C．To protect the plants. D．To test the eco-machine.
3．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou
A．To review John’s research plans. B．To show an application of John’s idea.
C．To compare John’s different jobs. D．To erase doubts about John’s invention.
4．What is the basis for John’s work
A．Nature can repair itself. B．Organisms need water to survive.
C．Life on Earth is diverse. D．Most tiny creatures live in groups.
【答案】1．C 2．D 3．B 4．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了John Todd从小就很爱思考且好学，他建造了一个生态机器，利用自然可以自我修复的原理来净化污水。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段“When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making. (当约翰·托德还是个孩子的时候，他喜欢探索房子周围的树林，观察大自然是如何解决问题的。例如，一条肮脏的小溪流经植物和微小生物居住的岩石后，往往会变得清澈。长大后，约翰开始思考这个过程是否可以用来清理人们制造的混乱)”以及第二段“After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals (在大学学习了农业、医学和渔业之后，约翰又回到了观察自然和提出问题的生活中。为什么某些植物能捕获有害细菌？哪些鱼类会食用致癌化学物质？)”可知，约翰聪颖好学、好奇心很强。故选C。
2．细节理解题。根据第三段“After a few weeks, John added the sludge. (几个星期后，约翰把污泥加了进去)”以及倒数第三段“He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water. (他对结果感到惊讶。生态机器里的动植物把污泥当成了食物，开始吃了起来！几周之内，它就被消化了，只剩下纯净水)”可知，约翰把污泥放进罐子里是为了测试生态机器。故选D。
3．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to
clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China. (这些年来，约翰承担了许多重大工作。他开发了一个类似温室的设施，可以处理来自南伯灵顿1600户家庭的污水。他还设计了一种生态机器来清洁中国东南部城市福州的运河水)”可推知，作者提到福州的目的是展示约翰想法的应用。故选B。
4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair. (你把生物体放在新的关系中，观察会发生什么。然后让这些新系统自行发展自我修复的方式)”可知，约翰工作的基础是自然可以自我修复。故选A。
（2023年新高考卷II卷）Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
5．What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A．She used to be a health worker. B．She grew up in a low-income family.
C．She owns a fast food restaurant. D．She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
6．What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A．The kids’ parents distrusted her. B．Students had little time for her classes.
C．Some kids disliked garden work. D．There was no space for school gardens.
7．Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A．Far-reaching. B．Predictable.
C．Short-lived. D．Unidentifiable.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Rescuing School Gardens B．Experiencing Country Life
C．Growing Vegetable Lovers D．Changing Local Landscape
【答案】5．D 6．C 7．A 8．C
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了Abby Jaramillo等老师在低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力，环保意识以及健康生活方式的Urban Sprouts花园项目，让学生种植蔬菜，对学生影响深远。
5．细节理解题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools.(起初是这样的，艾比·哈拉米洛说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了“Urban Sprouts”学校花园项目。)”可知，艾比·哈拉米洛是Urban Sprouts的发起者。故选D。
6．推理判断题。根据第二段的“she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.(她说。“他们来找我们，认为蔬菜很可怕，泥土很可怕，昆虫也很可怕。”虽然有些人一开始害怕昆虫，对泥土感到厌烦，但大多数人都渴望尝试新的东西。)”可知，项目之初，一些学生不喜欢园艺工作。故选C。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”(她补充说，该计划的好处不仅仅是营养。有些学生对园艺非常感兴趣，他们带回家种子开始自己的菜园。此外，在花园里工作似乎对Jaramillo的特殊教育学生有镇静作用，他们中的许多人都有情绪控制问题。“他们走了出去，”她说，“他们觉得成功。”)”可知，这个项目不仅给学生提供了有营养的食物，而且许多学生回家开创了自己的菜园，对有情绪控制问题的学生也起到了镇静作用，从而推知，该项目的影响是深远的。故选A。
8．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science
skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.(起初是这样的，艾比·哈拉米洛说，她和另一位老师在四所低收入学校启动了“Urban Sprouts”学校花园项目。该项目旨在帮助学生培养科学技能、环保意识和健康的生活方式。)”和最后一段的“Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens.(一些学生对园艺非常感兴趣，于是他们把种子带回家，开始种自己的菜园)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述了Abby Jaramillo等老师在低收入学校发起的培养学生科学能力，环保意识以及健康生活方式的Urban Sprouts花园项目，让学生种植蔬菜，对学生影响深远。因此推断C项“蔬菜种植爱好者”符合文意，最适合作为本文标题。故选C。
记叙文答题策略
No.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。
No.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。
No.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。
No.4 拨云见日
每年的高考阅读题中，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。

(在等车来接我们的时候，纳迪亚给我看了她那些保养得很好的植物。我看得出来，尽管条件艰苦，她对生活还是充满了热情。她让我渴望成为一个更坚强的人。她告诉我，贫穷是外在的，幸福是内在的。为了一个善意的事业，我想要付出100%，但我感觉从她那里得到了200%的回报)”可以推测，作者从纳迪亚身上明白了，幸福与外在物质关系不大，幸福是由自己的态度决定的，有着积极的生活态度，就是幸福的。故选B项。
（2024·内蒙古呼和浩特·一模）Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of her country’s problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip waters drop off their empty bags from Doritos. Lays. and other favorites at two locations in Detroit:a print shop and a clothing store. where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding (衬垫) and liners (衬里) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof lightweight and easy to carry around”. Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life —and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,”she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of rescuing bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental problem and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told , “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
13．What did Oleita ask the snack lovers to do with their empty chip bags
A．To turn them into sleeping bags. B．To give them away to her.
C．To throw them into the trash. D．To donate them to the homeless directly.
14．What do we know about the sleeping bag made by Chip Bag Project
A．Its size is adjustable. B．It is only made of old coats.
C．It has the function of heating D．It is portable.
15．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A．The aim of the project is more than social issues.
B．Poverty results from environmental problems.
C．Oleita’s project made 110 sleeping bags per month.
D．Oleita started the project mainly to raise money.
16．Which words can best describe Oleita
A．Hardworking and loyal. B．Talented and social.
C．Responsible and creative. D．Selfless and modest.
【答案】13．B 14．D 15．A 16．C

（2024·湖北·一模）There can be no doubt that Stephen King, New York Time’s Best-Selling author, has found success in many aspects, but it wasn’t always like this. King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning. When he was 2 years old, his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact, he never came back, he had abandoned his family.
This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own. Ruth was forced to move often, desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family, and she had to rely on relatives most of the time. One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back, he wasn’t even able to speak a single word, it seemed he was hurt mentally or something, but he still got the courage to continue forward. It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him.
King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入伍) again the next fall, which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things.
People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature, in fact whenever Stephen’s mom used to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored. Stephen King’s love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha.
In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel “Carrie”, which is scary. The rest followed from after that as he published many amazing books like The Shining, IT, Firestarter, and Cujo. All of these books became instant classics and got their own movie and television shows adaptions.
17．What is the main reason leading Stephen King to become a best-selling author
A．His in-born writing talents. B．His unfortunate childhood.
C．His excellent promotion skills. D．His mom’s miserable experiences.
18．What left Stephen King not even speaking a single word
A．He was knocked down by a passing train.
B．He was badly criticized by a close classmate.
C．He was depressed by the constant moves.
D．He was heart-struck by the pass-away of a friend.
19．What does the underlined word “demotivated” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Discouraged. B．Refreshed.
C．Embarrassed. D．Aroused.
20．Why didn’t Stephen’s mom hire a babysitter
A．The family was too poor to hire a babysitter.
B．The children were too naughty to be looked after.
C．The children could actually entertain themselves.
D．The children were young enough to care for themselves.
【答案】17．B 18．D 19．A 20．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述斯蒂芬·金虽然经历了不幸的童年，然而正是这种不幸的童年使得他见证并积累了众多的写作素材，从而创作出旷世杰作。
17．推理判断题。通读全文，从斯蒂芬·金的生活经历可知，斯蒂芬·金经历了不幸的童年：2岁时父亲离家而去、见证母亲独自抚养作者及其哥哥的艰辛、亲历好友被火车撞倒离世、虽因病辍学，随后一年又不得已被征入伍等等，他见证并积累了众多的写作素材，从而创作出旷世杰作，所以斯蒂芬·金成为畅销书作家的主要原因是他不幸的童年。第三段“Although Stephen King didn’t see his childhood as something extraordinary
or special, he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things.(虽然斯蒂芬·金不认为自己的童年有什么特别的，但他确实说过他总是被可怕的东西迷住了。)”和最后一段“In 1973, Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel “Carrie”, which is scary. (1973年，斯蒂芬·金出版了他的第一部小说《魔女嘉莉》，开始了他惊人的成功之旅，这部小说是恐怖的。)”也印证了这一推断。故选B。
18．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died, which left an emotional scar on him.(原来，他的一个朋友被火车撞死了，这给他留下了情感上的伤疤。)”可知，一位朋友的去世使斯蒂芬·金非常伤心。故选D。
19．词句猜测题。根据划线词前半句“King, later on, dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist (入伍) again the next fall,(后来，金因为一些严重的健康问题而辍学，并被告知他必须在第二年秋天再次入伍，)”可知，金后来因为一些严重的健康问题而辍学，这是一件令人泄气的事，所以demotivated意为Discouraged“使泄气”之意。故选A。
20．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature, in fact whenever Stephen’s mom used to go out, she didn’t hire a babysitter, for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored.(人们过去常常以他们对文学的热爱来承认金一家，事实上，每当斯蒂芬的妈妈出去时，她都不会雇保姆，因为孩子们过去常常互相读小说，这样他们就不会感到无聊。)”可知，孩子们通过给彼此读故事来“自娱自乐”（entertain themselves），不需要成人照顾。故选C。
（2024·广西柳州·三模）It’s been 20 years since a cookbook changed my life. Before reading every page in Nigella Lawson’s Feast, I didn’t give much thought lo what I ate. Cooking was a boring task I wasn’t particularly good at. Moreover, fear of calories and not being able to fit into my jeans left little room for enjoying things like “chocolate cake”. Nigella, the author of Nigella Lawson’s Feast transformed my relationship with food, changing it from a source of panic to one of limitless pleasure. Leafing through the pages of Feast, I began to think of the women who shaped my cooking. They not only influenced me strongly with their words, recipes and passion for the art of eating, but they also left their mark on the culinary (烹饪的) world.
Take Eugénie Brazier, for example, who grew up with barely enough to eat yet with plenty of determination to achieve great things. After years of hard work on farms and later as a humble cook, she used the little savings she had to open La Mère Brazier, a restaurant that would attract the likes of celebrities. A second location followed, and in 1933, she became the first chef ever to hold six Michelin stars simultaneously (同时地). Known as the mother of modern French cooking, Brazier’s simple yet elegant food changed the way Britain ate.
What Brazier did for the UK, the passionate Julia Child did for America. At a time when TV dinners and
tinned foods were gaining popularity, she inspired home cooks to try elegant recipes, teaching them about the use of quality ingredients in an approachable way.
While Julia Child tempted us with her recipes, it was the American author Fisher who enlightened us with her fine cooking prose (散文). In her brilliant essays, she praised the pleasures of the table and explored connections between food and culture. One of my favorite books is Love in a Dish, a charming collection of culinary experiences that transport you to French villages and even describe how the love of food can potentially save a marriage!
21．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By giving examples. B．By raising a question.
C．By describing his experience. D．By offering facts.
22．Which words can best describe Brazier
A．Friendly and determined. B．Considerate and brave.
C．Generous and intelligent. D．Ambitious and successful.
23．What do Fisher’s works focus on
A．The ingredients of food. B．The story behind food.
C．The significance of food. D．The origin of food.
24．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A．To motivate readers to cook at home. B．To market high-quality cooking books.
C．To honor some exceptional women cooks. D．To share his passion for cooking.
【答案】21．C 22．D 23．B 24．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者介绍了影响自己烹饪的几位杰出女性。
21．推理判断题。根据第一段中“It’s been 20 years since a cookbook changed my life. Before reading every page in Nigella Lawson’s Feast, I didn’t give much thought lo what I ate. Cooking was a boring task I wasn’t particularly good at. Moreover, fear of calories and not being able to fit into my jeans left little room for enjoying things like ‘chocolate cake’. Nigella, the author of Nigella Lawson’s Feast transformed my relationship with food, changing it from a source of panic to one of limitless pleasure. Leafing through the pages of Feast, I began to think of the women who shaped my cooking.(20年前一本食谱改变了我的生活。在阅读Nigella Lawson’s Feast的每一页之
前，我并没有过多地考虑我吃了什么。烹饪是一项无聊的工作，我不是特别擅长。此外，对卡路里的恐惧和穿不下牛仔裤让我几乎没有时间去享受‘巧克力蛋糕’之类的东西。Nigella是Nigella Lawson’s Feast的作者，她改变了我与食物的关系，把它从恐慌的来源变成了无限快乐的来源。翻阅Feast，我开始想起那些影响我烹饪的女性)”可知，作者先是讲述一本食谱对自己的影响，由此想起那些影响过自己烹饪的女性，即本文的主题，故作者是通过描述自己的经历来引入话题的。故选C。
22．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Take Eugénie Brazier, for example, who grew up with barely enough to eat yet with plenty of determination to achieve great things.(以Eugénie Brazier为例，他从小吃不饱饭，但却有足够的决心去成就大事)”以及“A second location followed, and in 1933, she became the first chef ever to hold six Michelin stars simultaneously (同时地). Known as the mother of modern French cooking, Brazier’s simple yet elegant food changed the way Britain ate.(1933年，她成为第一位同时获得米其林六颗星的厨师。作为现代法国烹饪之母，Brazier的简单而优雅的食物改变了英国人的饮食方式)”可知，Eugénie Brazier有足够的决心去成就大事，说明其有抱负，她成为第一位同时获得米其林六颗星的厨师，且被誉为现代法国烹饪之母，说明她功成名就，故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In her brilliant essays, she praised the pleasures of the table and explored connections between food and culture. One of my favorite books is Love in a Dish, a charming collection of culinary experiences that transport you to French villages and even describe how the love of food can potentially save a marriage!(在她精彩的文章中，她赞美了餐桌上的乐趣，并探索了食物与文化之间的联系。我最喜欢的书之一是Love in a Dish，这是一本迷人的美食体验集，带你去法国的村庄，甚至描述了对食物的热爱是如何挽救婚姻的)”可知，Fisher的作品探索食物与文化之间的联系，Love in a Dish一书使人置身于法国的村庄，甚至描述了对食物的热爱是如何挽救婚姻的，由此推知Fisher的作品注重讲述食物背后的故事，故选B。
24．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“Leafing through the pages of Feast, I began to think of the women who shaped my cooking. They not only influenced me strongly with their words, recipes and passion for the art of eating, but they also left their mark on the culinary (烹饪的) world.(翻阅Feast，我开始想起那些影响我烹饪的女性。她们不仅用她们的话语、食谱和对饮食艺术的热情深深地影响了我，而且她们也在烹饪界留下了自己的印记)”可知，作者介绍了影响自己烹饪的几位杰出女性，故本文目的是对一些杰出的女性厨师表达敬意。故选C。
（2024·安徽池州·二模）In 1999, Giuliana Furci, founder and founding director of the Fungi (真菌) Foundation, developed a deep interest in fungi. They were everywhere, and the 20-year-old took particular joy in
the variety of mushrooms: small and button-shaped; tall and umbrella-like; round with red caps topped with white flakes. Some were commonly found in people’s diets, for they were rich in nutrients such as vitamin, fiber, minerals and protein.
But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile, where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them from over-harvesting and other human activities. Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.
“Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. “Because of their relationship with forests and trees, we can’t survive without fungi. In terms of the health of the planet, they’re incredibly important to humans and the overall ecosystem.” Fungi can break down plants and animals, thus cycling nutrients and increasing their availability in the soil. They are also important contributors to the soil carbon stock through the same process. What’s more, fungi have been found to help degrade (降解) various pollutants, such as plastic. And mycelium (菌丝体), which is the root structure of mushrooms, is now being used to replace unsustainable materials, such as plastic and animal-based products.
Because of these, exploration of fungi was expanded at a faster pace. However, some were already listed as critically endangered. In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by law.
25．What can we learn about Furci from the first two paragraphs
A．She enjoyed collecting mushrooms.
B．She was fond of cooking mushrooms.
C．She worried about the situation of fungi.
D．She had a habit of writing field guidebooks.
26．What is Paragraph 3 of the text mainly about
A．The life on earth without fungi.
B．The importance of fungi on earth.
C．The relations between trees and fungi.
D．The practical uses of fungi in the future.
27．How did Furci protect the ecosystem
A．By writing free instructions on plants.
B．By starting a non-profit ecotourism company.
C．By raising awareness of the importance of fungi.
D．By passing laws to ban over-harvesting mushrooms.
28．Which of the following best describes Furci’s work
A．Ground-breaking. B．Debatable.
C．Romantic. D．Unmatched.
【答案】25．C 26．B 27．C 28．A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Furci意识到真菌对地球上生命的重要性后通过写指南、成立基金会等方式来呼吁人们关注并保护真菌。她和其他环保组织的行为甚至促使智利通过了一项保护真菌的法律。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中“But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile, where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them from over-harvesting and other human activities. (但弗奇也很快意识到，这些真菌在智利基本上被忽视了，那里几乎没有指导手册，几乎完全缺乏保护它们免受过度捕捞和其他人类活动影响的政策和资源)”可知，Furci担心真菌的现状。故选C。
26．主旨大意题。根据本段第一句““Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. (“如果没有真菌，地球上的生命就不会存在，”蘑菇保护专家格雷格·穆勒说)”并结合本段其他内容可知，本段主要介绍了真菌对地球上生命的重要性。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.(为了纠正这一点，弗奇写了一本野外指南，并成立了真菌基金会——一个致力于真菌保护的非营利组织。在她的指南中，特别关注了真菌在生态系统中的作用)”可知，为了保护真菌，Furci写了指南并成立了真菌基金会。由此推知，Furci通过提高人们对真菌重要性的认识来保护真菌。故选C。
28．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the
world to protect fungi by law.(2010年，Furci与其他环保非营利组织一起迈出了更大的一步，她向政府提出了一项建议，要求政府系统评估住房、水坝和高速公路等大型新开发项目对真菌的影响。2012年，智利通过了一项法律，成为世界上第一个以法律保护真菌的国家)”可知，Furci和其他环保组织的行为甚至促使智利通过一项保护真菌的法律。由此推知，Furci的工作是有开创性的。故选A。
（2024·江苏南京·二模）Emest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you ” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.”
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.”
29．What do we know about Owusu when he was 13
A．He met with Thatcher twice.
B．He joined a famous golf club.
C．He hosted a BBC’s programme.
D．He lived at the bottom of society.
30．What do the underlined words “sliding-door moment” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Turning point. B．Important decision.
C．Social status. D．Remarkable achievement.
31．Based on the text, what made a big difference to Owusu
A．Others’ treating him equally at work.
B．Others’ voting him a hero in Brixton.
C．Thatcher’s efforts to preserve his dignity.
D．Thatcher’s faith in the necessity of toughness.
32．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Art of Dialogue B．The Power of Confidence
C．A Life-changing Meeting D．A Status-improving Tale
【答案】29．D 30．A 31．D 32．C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲的是Emest Owusu受到Thatcher夫人的影响，从而改变了自己的人生。
29．推理判断题。根据第二段“At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.(在他们相遇的时候，Owusu在学校吃免费午餐，住在伦敦南部布里克斯顿的一处公共住宅里，他和妹妹由母亲罗斯抚养，她是一名苦苦挣扎的美发师。)”可知，Owusu13岁时生活在社会的底层。故选D。
30．词句猜测题。根据第三段“To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed(直到今天，它仍然有影响。我的信心改变了)”可知，从那一刻Owusu的信心改变了，说明那是一个转折点，sliding-door moment的意思是“转折点”，和Turning point意思相近，故选A。
31．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.(因为人们经常对我说，如果你在工作中，你必须温柔、温暖、人性化，但你也必须有一点钢铁的感觉。)”和“She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that stuck with me.(她对这个问题表示欢迎，说在这个世界上你必须要坚定。这让我印象深刻。)”可知，Thatcher坚信强硬的必要性使Owusu发生了巨大的变化。故选D。
32．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”(在俱乐部里，
Owusu将自己社会地位的提升描述为“撒切尔之旅”。他说，首先要问这位女士本人。“直到今天，它仍然有影响，我的信心从那一刻起就改变了。她身上的某种东西与我联系在一起。”)”可知，本文主要讲的是Emest Owusu受到Thatcher夫人的影响，从而改变了自己的人生，因此最恰当的标题是C选项“A Life-changing Meeting(改变人生的会面)”。故选C。
（2024·陕西汉中·二模）Aged 15 in high school, I was talkative and outgoing, often betting that nobody else would do their homework, so I needn’t either. I did not enjoy geometry (几何), although I liked the philosophical approach of our teacher, Mrs Trenholm. She told us that geometry was about humankind’s ability to work things out.
A month or so into the year we started on Euclidean geometry. We were all struggling and I was probably the most vocal (敢于直言的) in class about it. Mrs Trenholm set us homework — to prove two angles in a complex geometric shape are equal. She pulled me aside as we were leaving class and said, “Don’t talk your way out of this.”
I went home, worked on it for 20 minutes and gave up. Later I decided to try again. My handwriting was messy, and I noticed that if I made the diagram neater and bigger, I could see where I probably went wrong. At about 5 am, I got it and felt like my brain had been rewired!
I handed it in the next day. Mrs Trenholm would never embarrass students in front of everyone. So she came to me and handed me the paper with a little check mark in the corner. She looked right at me and asked, “Did you do this ” When I said yes, she nodded and went back to the front of the class, declaring, “One of you now understands Euclidean geometry. Let’s keep going so everybody will get it.”
From then on, I found that if I concentrated and worked hard, I could understand and even enjoy a subject. I went on to study maths and physics at university, took a master’s degree in applied science and became a nuclear research scientist. I became someone who no longer allowed myself the freedom to talk myself out of dealing with problems, or give up when things seemed too difficult.
33．How can we describe the author from the first two paragraphs
A．He was not skilled at socializing. B．He always had bets with others.
C．He was absorbed in philosophy. D．He had trouble studying geometry.
34．Why did Mrs Trenholm pull the author aside after class
A．To warn him not to talk too much. B．To give him some tips on homework.
C．To make him take homework seriously. D．To encourage him to try more approaches.
35．What was Mrs Trenholm’s initial feeling about the author’s homework
A．Excited. B．Relieved. C．Disapproving. D．Disbelieving.
36．What did the author want to express through the last paragraph
A．He would go for more freedom. B．The maths puzzle was a life changer.
C．That lesson taught him to think twice. D．His university life was pretty colorful.
【答案】33．D 34．C 35．D 36．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了主人公在高中时对几何学困难的经历，以及在一位教师的指导下最终克服困难并取得成功的过程，展现了教育的力量和自我成长的意义。
33．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I did not enjoy geometry (几何), although I liked the philosophical approach of our teacher, Mrs Trenholm. (我不喜欢几何，尽管我喜欢我们的老师特伦霍尔姆夫人的哲学方法。)”及第二段中“A month or so into the year we started on Euclidean geometry. We were all struggling and I was probably the most vocal in class about it. (大约一个月后，我们开始学习欧几里得几何。我们都在苦苦挣扎，而我可能是班级中最直言不讳的人。)”可知，他在学习几何学时遇到了困难，故选D项。
34．推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“She pulled me aside as we were leaving class and said, “Don’t talk your way out of this.” (她把我拉到一边说：“不要用口舌偷懒。”)”可知，Mrs Trenholm拉着作者到一旁，是要告诉他不要用嘴巴逃避作业，这表明她希望他认真对待作业。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“She looked right at me and asked, “Did you do this ” (她直视着我，问道：“是你做的吗？”)”可知，老师一开始看到作者的作业是怀疑的，所以才问作者是不是作者自己做的，故选D项。
36．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“From then on, I found that if I concentrated and worked hard, I could understand and even enjoy a subject. (从那时起，我发现如果我专心致志，努力工作，我就能理解甚至享受一门学科。)”及“I became someone who no longer allowed myself the freedom to talk myself out of dealing with problems, or give up when things seemed too difficult. (我变成了一个不再允许自己自由地说服自己处理问题的人，或者在事情看起来太困难时放弃。)”可知，作者表达了成功解决几何难题的经历让他的生活也发生了改变，故选B项。
（2024·青海海南·一模）I grew up in Florida, surrounded by my extended family, but we can trace our ancestry back to Texas when it still belonged to Mexico. Our language, customs and even the names my ancestors
called themselves have since largely been lost to forced assimilation (同化). Yet our oral traditions, expressed through storytelling, poetry and jokes, persist.
My grandmother and mother taught me, a lovely girl, that the natural world around us has stories to tell if you listen closely. After all, language is not unique to humans. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my grandmother’s cracked concrete porch watching one of the many doves she had nursed back to health land in her raised hand after she called out to it. When dark storm clouds gathered over the half-finished roof, my mother would take a steak knife from the kitchen to the outside of the house, pointing it to the sky to cut the rain away. My friends thought it was magical how nature seemed to bend to my mother’s will.
It makes sense that I became an author. My life is built around stories. When I lived in New York and Los Angeles, I’d have to hike very far to find a piece of nature to be in—the rare tree in downtown Los Angeles, or the ginkgoes near Inwood Hill Park in New York City. Now in East Tennessee, I walk a few steps past my porch, into my garden—two small pieces of land that borders my two-story white and greenish-blue farmhouse. When I first moved here, non-native European grass blanketed the thirsty clay, red as dried blood. I dug up eight garden beds in the middle of that grass, filling them with plants native to my region: cone flowers and aromatic aster, bee balm and Virginia blue bells. I tried growing squash peppers, yellow watermelon and white eggplant but the plants languished. My land seems to want nothing but flowers. So I am trying my hand at planting zinnias, cosmos and dahlias instead.
If I am creatively blocked, I walk barefoot on the earth, no matter what the season, allowing stories to feed the roots of my entire body. If I have a plot hole I need to fix, I visit my lemon and lime basil, keeping my fingers with their sweet scents (气味).
37．What plays a role in keeping traditions alive in the author’s view
A．A close family relationship. B．The practice of storytelling.
C．The values of society members. D．An atmosphere of growth.
38．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．How the author became a gardening expert.
B．How the author fed himself with stories.
C．How the author connected with nature.
D．How the author was inspired by stories.
39．Which can best replace the underlined word “languished” in paragraph 3
A．Stood out. B．Survived. C．Developed. D．Faded away.
40．What can be inferred about the author from the text
A．She’s a very responsible person.
B．She’s a nature-loving writer.
C．She’s a passionate traveller.
D．She’s a professional gardener.
【答案】37．B 38．B 39．D 40．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者从小受到身边发生的故事的滋养，成为了一名作家。
37．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Yet our oral traditions, expressed through storytelling, poetry and jokes, persist. (然而，我们通过讲故事、诗歌和笑话表达的口头传统依然存在)”可知，在作者看来，讲故事在保持传统活力方面发挥了作用。故选B。
38．主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“It makes sense that I became an author. My life is built around stories. (我成为一名作家是有道理的。我的生活是围绕着故事展开的)”以及下文陈述作者在纽约和田纳西州的生活经历可知，本段主要讲的是作者是如何用故事滋养自己的。故选B。
39．词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“My land seems to want nothing but flowers. So I am trying my hand at planting zinnias, cosmos and dahlias instead. (我的土地似乎只需要鲜花。所以我试着种植百日草、波斯菊和大丽花)”可知，作者种的南瓜辣椒、黄色西瓜等植物都枯萎了，所以他认为他的花园只需要花。A. Stood out. 脱颖而出；B. Survived.幸存；C. Developed.发展；D. Faded away.消失。故选D。
40．推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“If I am creatively blocked, I walk barefoot on the earth, no matter what the season, allowing stories to feed the roots of my entire body. If I have a plot hole I need to fix, I visit my lemon and lime basil, keeping my fingers with their sweet scents(气味). (如果我被创造性地阻止了，无论什么季节，我都会赤脚在地球上行走，让故事滋养我全身的根。如果我有一个情节漏洞需要修复，我会去看我的柠檬和酸橙罗勒，让我的手指保持它们的甜味)”可知，作者是一个热爱自然的作家。故选B。押新高考卷第24-27题

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。
记叙文 (2023年新高考卷I卷，B)
When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria (细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer-causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco-machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse — like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
1．What can we learn about John from the first two paragraphs
A．He was fond of traveling. B．He enjoyed being alone.
C．He had an inquiring mind. D．He longed to be a doctor.
2．Why did John put the sludge into the tanks
A．To feed the animals. B．To build an ecosystem.
C．To protect the plants. D．To test the eco-machine.
3．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Fuzhou
A．To review John’s research plans. B．To show an application of John’s idea.
C．To compare John’s different jobs. D．To erase doubts about John’s invention.
4．What is the basis for John’s work
A．Nature can repair itself. B．Organisms need water to survive.
C．Life on Earth is diverse. D．Most tiny creatures live in groups.
（2023年新高考卷II卷）Turning soil, pulling weeds, and harvesting cabbage sound like tough work for middle and high school kids. And at first it is, says Abby Jaramillo, who with another teacher started Urban Sprouts, a school garden program at four low-income schools. The program aims to help students develop science skills, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles.
Jaramillo’s students live in neighborhoods where fresh food and green space are not easy to find and fast food restaurants outnumber grocery stores. “The kids literally come to school with bags of snacks and large bottles of soft drinks,” she says. “They come to us thinking vegetables are awful, dirt is awful, insects are awful.” Though some are initially scared of the insects and turned off by the dirt, most are eager to try something new.
Urban Sprouts’ classes, at two middle schools and two high schools, include hands-on experiments such as soil testing, flower-and-seed dissection, tastings of fresh or dried produce, and work in the garden. Several times a year, students cook the vegetables they grow, and they occasionally make salads for their entire schools.
Program evaluations show that kids eat more vegetables as a result of the classes. “We have students who say they went home and talked to their parents and now they’re eating differently,” Jaramillo says.
She adds that the program’s benefits go beyond nutrition. Some students get so interested in gardening that they bring home seeds to start their own vegetable gardens. Besides, working in the garden seems to have a calming effect on Jaramillo’s special education students, many of whom have emotional control issues. “They get outside,” she says, “and they feel successful.”
5．What do we know about Abby Jaramillo
A．She used to be a health worker. B．She grew up in a low-income family.
C．She owns a fast food restaurant. D．She is an initiator of Urban Sprouts.
6．What was a problem facing Jaramillo at the start of the program
A．The kids’ parents distrusted her. B．Students had little time for her classes.
C．Some kids disliked garden work. D．There was no space for school gardens.
7．Which of the following best describes the impact of the program
A．Far-reaching. B．Predictable.
C．Short-lived. D．Unidentifiable.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Rescuing School Gardens B．Experiencing Country Life
C．Growing Vegetable Lovers D．Changing Local Landscape

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。
No.4 拨云见日
每年的高考阅读题中，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。
（2024·河北·二模）I didn’t go to Santiago, Chile to look for friendship. In fact, Chile was not even on my wish list.
A mid-life crisis woman, I got a chance to study abroad. I only wanted to learn about global business, taste South American cuisine, and check “study abroad” off my wish list.
On the fifth day, I joined a group for a neighborhood work project aided by the anti-poverty (扶贫) organization. Our tasks were to build a water tower and paint the community center. Upon arrival, I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was like a scene out of a horrible film. That moment redefined poverty for me because I had never seen such terrible living conditions.

（2024·内蒙古呼和浩特·一模）Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution to two of her country’s problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip waters drop off their empty bags from Doritos. Lays. and other favorites at two locations in Detroit:a print shop and a clothing store. where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding (衬垫) and liners (衬里) from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof lightweight and easy to carry around”. Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the
hope of attaining a better life —and her fellow volunteers. “We are devoted to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,”she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of rescuing bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental problem and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told , “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”

（2024·广西柳州·三模）It’s been 20 years since a cookbook changed my life. Before reading every page in
Nigella Lawson’s Feast, I didn’t give much thought lo what I ate. Cooking was a boring task I wasn’t particularly good at. Moreover, fear of calories and not being able to fit into my jeans left little room for enjoying things like “chocolate cake”. Nigella, the author of Nigella Lawson’s Feast transformed my relationship with food, changing it from a source of panic to one of limitless pleasure. Leafing through the pages of Feast, I began to think of the women who shaped my cooking. They not only influenced me strongly with their words, recipes and passion for the art of eating, but they also left their mark on the culinary (烹饪的) world.
Take Eugénie Brazier, for example, who grew up with barely enough to eat yet with plenty of determination to achieve great things. After years of hard work on farms and later as a humble cook, she used the little savings she had to open La Mère Brazier, a restaurant that would attract the likes of celebrities. A second location followed, and in 1933, she became the first chef ever to hold six Michelin stars simultaneously (同时地). Known as the mother of modern French cooking, Brazier’s simple yet elegant food changed the way Britain ate.
What Brazier did for the UK, the passionate Julia Child did for America. At a time when TV dinners and tinned foods were gaining popularity, she inspired home cooks to try elegant recipes, teaching them about the use of quality ingredients in an approachable way.
While Julia Child tempted us with her recipes, it was the American author Fisher who enlightened us with her fine cooking prose (散文). In her brilliant essays, she praised the pleasures of the table and explored connections between food and culture. One of my favorite books is Love in a Dish, a charming collection of culinary experiences that transport you to French villages and even describe how the love of food can potentially save a marriage!
21．How does the author introduce the topic
A．By giving examples. B．By raising a question.
C．By describing his experience. D．By offering facts.
22．Which words can best describe Brazier
A．Friendly and determined. B．Considerate and brave.
C．Generous and intelligent. D．Ambitious and successful.
23．What do Fisher’s works focus on
A．The ingredients of food. B．The story behind food.
C．The significance of food. D．The origin of food.
24．What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage
A．To motivate readers to cook at home. B．To market high-quality cooking books.
C．To honor some exceptional women cooks. D．To share his passion for cooking.
（2024·安徽池州·二模）In 1999, Giuliana Furci, founder and founding director of the Fungi (真菌) Foundation, developed a deep interest in fungi. They were everywhere, and the 20-year-old took particular joy in the variety of mushrooms: small and button-shaped; tall and umbrella-like; round with red caps topped with white flakes. Some were commonly found in people’s diets, for they were rich in nutrients such as vitamin, fiber, minerals and protein.
But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile, where there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them from over-harvesting and other human activities. Determined to correct this, Furci wrote a field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a nonprofit dedicated to fungi conservation. In her guide, special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.
“Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller, a mushroom conservation expert. “Because of their relationship with forests and trees, we can’t survive without fungi. In terms of the health of the planet, they’re incredibly important to humans and the overall ecosystem.” Fungi can break down plants and animals, thus cycling nutrients and increasing their availability in the soil. They are also important contributors to the soil carbon stock through the same process. What’s more, fungi have been found to help degrade (降解) various pollutants, such as plastic. And mycelium (菌丝体), which is the root structure of mushrooms, is now being used to replace unsustainable materials, such as plastic and animal-based products.
Because of these, exploration of fungi was expanded at a faster pace. However, some were already listed as critically endangered. In 2010, Furci took an even bigger step—with other environmental nonprofits, she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically assess how large new developments such as housing, dams, and highways affect fungi. In 2012, a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by law.
25．What can we learn about Furci from the first two paragraphs

（2024·江苏南京·二模）Emest Owusu was 13 in 1980 when he was given the opportunity to appear in the audience of a BBC show, and ask Thatcher how she felt about being called the Iron Lady. This encounter re-emerged in a BBC’s programme recently.
At the time of their meeting, Owusu was on free school meals, living on a public estate in Brixton, south London, where he and his sister were being raised by their mother Rose, a struggling hairdresser.
Now 57, Owusu looks remarkably similar even with a greying beard. But his life has been transformed. The father of three is a human resources director, and the first black captain of the Addington golf club in its 110-year history. As a black guy, it is about breaking the glass ceiling. Speaking in its clubhouse, Owusu describes his rise in social status (地位) as a “Thatcherite Journey”. And he says it began by asking the woman herself. “To this day it still has an impact. My confidence changed from that sliding-door moment. Something about her connected with me.”
Thatcher told Owusu she enjoyed being called the Iron Lady. “I think it’s rather a praise, don’t you ” she said, “Because so often people have said to me if you’re in your job you’ve got to be soft and warm and human, but you’ve got to have a touch of steel.” Owusu recalls the moment, “I just remember her eye contact. She was answering me, not the camera. She welcomed the question saying you’ve got to be firm in this world. And that
stuck with me.”
After the show was broadcast, Owusu said he became “a little hero in Brixton for a good three months”. Owusu added, “It all gave me extra confidence. Doors might not have opened so quickly. It was one of those key moments to make you do things maybe you wouldn’t otherwise have done.”

（2024·陕西汉中·二模）Aged 15 in high school, I was talkative and outgoing, often betting that nobody else would do their homework, so I needn’t either. I did not enjoy geometry (几何), although I liked the philosophical approach of our teacher, Mrs Trenholm. She told us that geometry was about humankind’s ability to work things out.
A month or so into the year we started on Euclidean geometry. We were all struggling and I was probably the most vocal (敢于直言的) in class about it. Mrs Trenholm set us homework — to prove two angles in a complex geometric shape are equal. She pulled me aside as we were leaving class and said, “Don’t talk your way out of this.”
I went home, worked on it for 20 minutes and gave up. Later I decided to try again. My handwriting was messy, and I noticed that if I made the diagram neater and bigger, I could see where I probably went wrong. At about 5 am, I got it and felt like my brain had been rewired!
I handed it in the next day. Mrs Trenholm would never embarrass students in front of everyone. So she came to me and handed me the paper with a little check mark in the corner. She looked right at me and asked, “Did you do this ” When I said yes, she nodded and went back to the front of the class, declaring, “One of you now understands Euclidean geometry. Let’s keep going so everybody will get it.”
From then on, I found that if I concentrated and worked hard, I could understand and even enjoy a subject. I went on to study maths and physics at university, took a master’s degree in applied science and became a nuclear research scientist. I became someone who no longer allowed myself the freedom to talk myself out of dealing with problems, or give up when things seemed too difficult.

（2024·青海海南·一模）I grew up in Florida, surrounded by my extended family, but we can trace our ancestry back to Texas when it still belonged to Mexico. Our language, customs and even the names my ancestors called themselves have since largely been lost to forced assimilation (同化). Yet our oral traditions, expressed through storytelling, poetry and jokes, persist.
My grandmother and mother taught me, a lovely girl, that the natural world around us has stories to tell if you listen closely. After all, language is not unique to humans. One of my earliest memories is sitting on my
grandmother’s cracked concrete porch watching one of the many doves she had nursed back to health land in her raised hand after she called out to it. When dark storm clouds gathered over the half-finished roof, my mother would take a steak knife from the kitchen to the outside of the house, pointing it to the sky to cut the rain away. My friends thought it was magical how nature seemed to bend to my mother’s will.
It makes sense that I became an author. My life is built around stories. When I lived in New York and Los Angeles, I’d have to hike very far to find a piece of nature to be in—the rare tree in downtown Los Angeles, or the ginkgoes near Inwood Hill Park in New York City. Now in East Tennessee, I walk a few steps past my porch, into my garden—two small pieces of land that borders my two-story white and greenish-blue farmhouse. When I first moved here, non-native European grass blanketed the thirsty clay, red as dried blood. I dug up eight garden beds in the middle of that grass, filling them with plants native to my region: cone flowers and aromatic aster, bee balm and Virginia blue bells. I tried growing squash peppers, yellow watermelon and white eggplant but the plants languished. My land seems to want nothing but flowers. So I am trying my hand at planting zinnias, cosmos and dahlias instead.
If I am creatively blocked, I walk barefoot on the earth, no matter what the season, allowing stories to feed the roots of my entire body. If I have a plot hole I need to fix, I visit my lemon and lime basil, keeping my fingers with their sweet scents (气味).
37．What plays a role in keeping traditions alive in the author’s view
A．A close family relationship. B．The practice of storytelling.
C．The values of society members. D．An atmosphere of growth.
38．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A．How the author became a gardening expert.
B．How the author fed himself with stories.
C．How the author connected with nature.
D．How the author was inspired by stories.
39．Which can best replace the underlined word “languished” in paragraph 3

40．What can be inferred about the author from the text
A．She’s a very responsible person.

C．She’s a passionate traveller.
D．She’s a professional gardener.
