阅读理解之记叙文
备战2025年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、情节脉络与细节理解
记叙文以时间顺序或事件发展为主线，需梳理起因-经过-高潮-结局的逻辑链。
难点：识别情节转折点 （如人物冲突、意外事件）及细节暗示 （如伏笔、环境描写）。
2、人物情感与主题推断
需分析人物言行、心理活动（如对话、动作描写）推断其情感变化（如从沮丧到自信）。
难点：结合上下文理解隐含主题 （如成长启示、社会现象反思），避免停留在表面情节。
3、文化背景与价值观理解
可能涉及跨文化元素（如节日习俗、中外观念差异），需结合常识或背景知识辅助理解。
难点：分析作者通过故事传递的价值观 （如家庭纽带、环保意识），易因主观臆断偏离主旨。
4、叙事视角与修辞手法
第一人称（主观体验）与第三人称（客观描述）视角可能影响信息获取。
难点：识别比喻、拟人等修辞手法的作用（如增强情感表达）。
二、解题步骤（五步法）
1、速读定位核心要素
划出时间、地点、人物、事件关键信息，标注情感词（如angry, delighted）和转折词（suddenly, however）。
技巧：用思维导图梳理故事脉络（例：Problem → Actions → Result）。
2、定位细节题答案
直接信息题（如人物关系、事件顺序）需精准回原文定位，注意同义替换 （如“resigned”→“gave up the job”）。
避坑：勿混淆相似事件（如两次道歉的原因差异）。
3、推理人物情感与主题
结合上下文分析：
情感题：通过对话语气（如“I can’t believe this!”→失望）、动作（clenched fists→愤怒）推断。
主旨题：关注首尾段、重复出现的意象（如反复描写风雨象征困境）。
技巧：用“5W1H”提问法（Who, What, When, Where, Why, How）总结主题。
4、处理修辞与隐含意义
修辞手法题需联系语境：
比喻（如“her voice was a melody”→声音悦耳）强调情感渲染。
象征（如“broken mirror”→不祥预兆）需结合文化常识。
5、复核查验逻辑一致性
检查选项是否与原文矛盾（如时间错误、人物动机偏差），排除绝对化表述（must, never）。
重点：确认推理题答案符合“合理推断”而非“过度想象”。
三、预测分析（2025年趋势）
1、题材预测
成长类：青少年克服困难（如学习压力、家庭变故）、自我认知提升。
社会类：传统文化故事（如非遗传承人的坚守）、科技与人文冲突（如AI对人际交流的影响）。
哲理类：通过动物寓言（如蚂蚁合作）或自然现象（如四季更替）传递生活智慧。
2、题型设计
细节题占比约40%，侧重时间线、人物动机及环境描写作用；
推理题增加“情感变化”和“主题升华”类考点（如“Why did the boy smile at the end ”）；
主旨题可能结合故事标题或结尾句考查深层寓意；
创新形式：可能出现“图文结合”题（如连环画式叙事配简短对话）。
3、能力考察重点
情节连贯性理解：训练“事件排序”和“因果链”分析能力；
情感敏感度：积累情感动词短语（如burst into tears, wear a forced smile）；
文化意识：关注中外价值观对比（如个人成就 vs 集体利益）。
四、备考建议
语料积累：精读《书虫》系列分级读物、21世纪学生英文报“成长故事”板块，整理高频情感动词及哲理句式。
真题演练：研究近3年徐州市中考记叙文，总结本地命题偏好（如偏爱“小人物大道理”型故事）。
思维训练：用“故事山”模型（Story Mountain）分析叙事结构，强化“冲突-解决”逻辑意识。
示例预测题：
题材：女孩通过养蚕学会责任
考点：细节定位（养蚕步骤）、推理判断（女孩性格变化）、主旨归纳（责任与成长）。
总结：记叙文需兼顾情节细节与深层理解，考生应强化“文本细读”与“逻辑推理”双线训练，同时关注社会热点与传统文化主题，以应对灵活多变的命题趋势。

Being True to Yourself Matters
Sarah often helped out at her dad’s restaurant, but today felt different—she was given the responsibility of serving customers.
Excited, yet nervous, she carefully carried a pork steak to Table 6. Her excitement quickly turned to anxiety (焦虑) when she saw Kassy, a popular girl from school sitting there with her friends. Feeling shy and afraid, Sarah hid herself behind the front desk to avoid being seen. Though an excellent student, Sarah often felt out of place among her wealthy classmates. She remembered how Kassy used to make fun of her and worried that others might do the same to her for working at a restaurant. When Sarah’s dad found her hiding, she didn’t know what to say. He suggested that she take a break.
Turning back to the kitchen, Sarah felt bad for letting her dad down. To her surprise, Hannah, one of Kassy’s friends, came over and said that she knew how mean (刻薄的) Kassy could be. She also praised Sarah for her hard work. Her comfort gave Sarah the strength she needed.
With confidence, Sarah returned to the dining area and brought the check to Kassy’s table. When Kassy tried to make fun of her, Sarah and Hannah did a silly “crab dance” and laughed together. As she crossed the dining room, Sarah realized she didn’t feel embarrassed. Whether Kassy liked her family’s restaurant or not, it didn’t matter.
As Sarah returned to the front desk, she felt a warm sense of pride, knowing the restaurant was special to her, no matter what others thought. She understood that hard work and kindness were what really mattered. From then on, she started to enjoy her new role with confidence and pride.

I became witness (见证人) to a certain state (状态) of giving at a very early age — my great-grandmother who lived to be 113 years of age. In the morning, if she had breakfast, she would always go and give away at least two-thirds of it to the ants and birds, particularly to the ants. People would say, “She is throwing all her food around, this old woman will die without eating.” But they all died while she lived. There were many days where I saw her with a little bit of breakfast that was left on her plate. She would simply sit there, watching the ants eat. When somebody asked, “Won’t you eat ” she would say, “I’m full. I’m already full.” It was many years later that I realized her way of doing with the world. If the ants ate, she was happy. So she lived so long.

Michael Packard is a professional diver. One day, he was swallowed (吞) whole by a whale. He stayed inside its mouth for dozens of seconds.
The whale, swimming off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts, US, then coughed Mr Packard out, according to a report.
Mr Packard, 56, was about 14 metres below the surface of the water as usual on Friday when the whale tried to turn him into breakfast, the Cape Cod Times reported.
“All of a sudden, I felt a huge push and the next thing I knew was it was completely dark.” Mr Packard said.
His first thought was that he had been snapped (猛咬) up by a great white shark. Mr Packard said he thought to himself, “This is it. I’m going to die.”
I thought to myself, “There’s no way I’m getting out of her. I’m done. I’m dead. All I could think of was my children—they’re 12 and 15 years old.”
But when he realized he could feel no teeth, he began struggling and felt the whale shaking his head in discomfort. Within 40 seconds the whale spat (吐出) him back into the ocean.
“I saw light,” Mr Packard said, “I can’t believe I got out of the situation.”
His boating pal, Josiah Mayo, pulled Mr Packard out of the sea, and rushed him to a hospital, where he was treated for soft-tissue (软组织) damage to his leg. Amazingly, Mr Parkard said he felt just fine after his remarkable getaway.
An expert said the whale may have swallowed Mr Packard accidently, not seeing the diver while its mouth was open wide to scoop up little fish.

C．On Friday evening. D．On Friday morning.

Main character in this chapter: “I”—Juli Baker（a teenage girl）
The next morning, I raced to the bus stop extra early and climbed the tree. I caught the sun rising through the clouds, sending stripes of fire from one end of the world to the other.
Then I heard a noise below. I looked down, and parked right below me were two trucks. There were four men standing around talking, and I almost called down to them, “I’m sorry, but you can’t park there…That’s a bus stop!” Just at that time, one of the men reached into the back of a truck and started taking out tools. Gloves. Ropes. A chain. And then chain saws（电锯）. Three chain saws. Then one of the kids who rides the bus showed up and started talking to them, and pretty soon he was pointing up at me.
One of the men called, “Hey! You’d better come down from there. We’re going to take this thing down.”
I held on to the tree tightly（牢固地）, because suddenly it felt as though I might fall. I managed to cry out, “The tree ”
“Yeah, now come on down.”
“But who told you to cut it down ”
“The owner!” he called back.
“But why ”
“Because he’s going to build himself a house, and this tree is in the way. Now come on, girl, we’ve got work to do!”
By that time most of the kids had gathered for the bus. They weren’t saying anything to me, just looking up at me and turning from time to time to talk to each other. My heart was crazy with fear. I couldn’t leave and let them cut down the tree! I cried, “You can’t cut it down! You just can’t!”
One of the men shook his head and said, “I am this close to calling the police. Now are you going to come down or are we going to cut you down ”
The bus was three blocks away. I’d never missed school for any reason other than illness, but I knew in my heart that this time was different. “You’re going to have to cut me down!” I cried. Then I had an idea. They’d never cut it down if all of us were in the tree. “Hey, guys!” I called to my classmates. “Get up here with me! They can’t cut it down if we’re all up here!”
One by one, the kids just shook their heads and got on the bus.

备战2025年中考英语新课标（核心素养）二轮复习之优秀生拔高重难题型特训
【预测分析】
一、重难点分析
1、情节脉络与细节理解
记叙文以时间顺序或事件发展为主线，需梳理起因-经过-高潮-结局的逻辑链。
难点：识别情节转折点 （如人物冲突、意外事件）及细节暗示 （如伏笔、环境描写）。
2、人物情感与主题推断
需分析人物言行、心理活动（如对话、动作描写）推断其情感变化（如从沮丧到自信）。
难点：结合上下文理解隐含主题 （如成长启示、社会现象反思），避免停留在表面情节。
3、文化背景与价值观理解
可能涉及跨文化元素（如节日习俗、中外观念差异），需结合常识或背景知识辅助理解。
难点：分析作者通过故事传递的价值观 （如家庭纽带、环保意识），易因主观臆断偏离主旨。
4、叙事视角与修辞手法
第一人称（主观体验）与第三人称（客观描述）视角可能影响信息获取。
难点：识别比喻、拟人等修辞手法的作用（如增强情感表达）。
二、解题步骤（五步法）
1、速读定位核心要素
划出时间、地点、人物、事件关键信息，标注情感词（如angry, delighted）和转折词（suddenly, however）。
技巧：用思维导图梳理故事脉络（例：Problem → Actions → Result）。
2、定位细节题答案
直接信息题（如人物关系、事件顺序）需精准回原文定位，注意同义替换 （如“resigned”→“gave up the job”）。
避坑：勿混淆相似事件（如两次道歉的原因差异）。
3、推理人物情感与主题
结合上下文分析：
情感题：通过对话语气（如“I can’t believe this!”→失望）、动作（clenched fists→愤怒）推断。
主旨题：关注首尾段、重复出现的意象（如反复描写风雨象征困境）。
技巧：用“5W1H”提问法（Who, What, When, Where, Why, How）总结主题。
4、处理修辞与隐含意义
修辞手法题需联系语境：
比喻（如“her voice was a melody”→声音悦耳）强调情感渲染。
象征（如“broken mirror”→不祥预兆）需结合文化常识。
5、复核查验逻辑一致性
检查选项是否与原文矛盾（如时间错误、人物动机偏差），排除绝对化表述（must, never）。
重点：确认推理题答案符合“合理推断”而非“过度想象”。
三、预测分析（2025年趋势）
1、题材预测
成长类：青少年克服困难（如学习压力、家庭变故）、自我认知提升。
社会类：传统文化故事（如非遗传承人的坚守）、科技与人文冲突（如AI对人际交流的影响）。
哲理类：通过动物寓言（如蚂蚁合作）或自然现象（如四季更替）传递生活智慧。
2、题型设计
细节题占比约40%，侧重时间线、人物动机及环境描写作用；
推理题增加“情感变化”和“主题升华”类考点（如“Why did the boy smile at the end ”）；
主旨题可能结合故事标题或结尾句考查深层寓意；
创新形式：可能出现“图文结合”题（如连环画式叙事配简短对话）。
3、能力考察重点
情节连贯性理解：训练“事件排序”和“因果链”分析能力；
情感敏感度：积累情感动词短语（如burst into tears, wear a forced smile）；
文化意识：关注中外价值观对比（如个人成就 vs 集体利益）。
四、备考建议
语料积累：精读《书虫》系列分级读物、21世纪学生英文报“成长故事”板块，整理高频情感动词及哲理句式。
真题演练：研究近3年徐州市中考记叙文，总结本地命题偏好（如偏爱“小人物大道理”型故事）。
思维训练：用“故事山”模型（Story Mountain）分析叙事结构，强化“冲突-解决”逻辑意识。
示例预测题：
题材：女孩通过养蚕学会责任
考点：细节定位（养蚕步骤）、推理判断（女孩性格变化）、主旨归纳（责任与成长）。
总结：记叙文需兼顾情节细节与深层理解，考生应强化“文本细读”与“逻辑推理”双线训练，同时关注社会热点与传统文化主题，以应对灵活多变的命题趋势。

Sarah often helped out at her dad’s restaurant, but today felt different—she was given the responsibility of serving customers.

I became witness (见证人) to a certain state (状态) of giving at a very early age — my great-grandmother who lived to be 113 years of age.

There were many days where I saw her with a little bit of breakfast that was left on her plate. She would simply sit there, watching the ants eat. When somebody asked, “Won’t you eat ” she would say, “I’m full. I’m already full.” It was many years later that I realized her way of doing with the world. If the ants ate, she was happy. So she lived so long.

Michael Packard is a professional diver. One day, he was swallowed (吞) whole by a whale. He stayed inside its mouth for dozens of seconds.

Mr Packard, 56, was about 14 metres below the surface of the water as usual on Friday when the whale tried to turn him into breakfast, the Cape Cod Times reported.
“All of a sudden, I felt a huge push and the next thing I knew was it was completely dark.” Mr Packard said.

I thought to myself, “There’s no way I’m getting out of her. I’m done. I’m dead. All I could think of was my children—they’re 12 and 15 years old.”

One of the men called, “Hey! You’d better come down from there. We’re going to take this thing down.”
I held on to the tree tightly（牢固地）, because suddenly it felt as though I might fall. I managed to cry out, “The tree ”

“But who told you to cut it down ”

One of the men shook his head and said, “I am this close to calling the police. Now are you going to come down or are we going to cut you down ”
The bus was three blocks away. I’d never missed school for any reason other than illness, but I knew in my heart that this time was different. “You’re going to have to cut me down!” I cried. Then I had an idea. They’d never cut it down if all of us were in the tree. “Hey, guys!” I called to my classmates. “Get up here with me! They can’t cut it down if we’re all up here!”
One by one, the kids just shook their heads and got on the bus.
