记叙文类阅读理解
记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局, 通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。
一、解题策略
1. 记叙文写作特点
高考阅读理解体裁纷繁多样,但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。在所有的阅读体裁中,记叙文的难度相对是比较低的。如果掌握了阅读的技巧, 多多实践,阅读能力就有可能大大提高。
要熟练掌握记叙文的阅读技巧,了解记叙文的写作特点与命题特点也是有必要的。
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。
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"。
总之:
1.同一人物重复出现,以人物关系为发展主线;
2.有不同时间点分布,以时间为发展顺序;
3.生词少,句子短;
4.最终给读者以一定道理以及启迪。
2. 记叙文考情分析
有些文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的,在叙述的过程中有详有略;有些文章是按时间的顺序叙述的,有顺叙、倒叙等。从总体上来讲, 文章的难度通常不大,在阅读过程
试卷第 1 页,共 24 页
中,我们一直在某个线索的引导下,随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末,因此会感到比较轻松。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手,考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。阅读此类文章应特别注意:(1)若是一般故事性文章,应读懂故事的发生,发展,高潮和结局;(2)若是"哲理故事",要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义;(3)若是 "逸闻趣事",应体会对话的 风趣性,进而才能感受幽默的精髓。
记叙文命题特点
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。
近五年高考英语阅读记叙文主要考查类型
1.故事叙述 2.成功经历 3.态度转变 4.人性关怀 5.职业生涯
6.人物影响 7.情感抒发 8.教育理念
3. 记叙文解题技巧
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。
一把钥匙开一把锁。要解答好记叙文阅读理解题, 就应该有一套针对性强的方法和技巧。下面是我们在阅读教学中积累下来的一点心得体会,希望能对大家有所帮助。
解题技能训练
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
试卷第 2 页,共 24 页
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。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。
总体解题步骤
1.分析题干(找出所有问题并预览全文);
2.通读全文同时解出细节题(不可跳过文章中任何一处信息);
3.把握中心,解剩余题。
解题注意事项
1.必须通读全文,不可遗漏任何信息,每一段落相互关联;
2.文章结尾处通常是中心主旨所在处,必须精读;
3.注意文章中的各种人物关系(主要人物关系/次要人物关系)。

In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how
试卷第 3 页,共 24 页
my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay, which was about the question: “Why is
writing important ” Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. This would have to change.
As a new unit started, I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of their choice. This time they found the exercise much more interesting. For the next two
assignments, a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre (体裁) and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication.
However, my students demonstrated something more important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s skin, to teach us what it means to be human.
1 .Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of paragraph 1
A .Ninth graders. B .Students’ parents.
C .Modern writers. D .Fictional characters.
2 .Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay
A .They were not given enough time. B .They had a very limited vocabulary.
C .They misunderstood the question. D .They had little interest in the topic.
3 .What does the underlined word “staggering” in paragraph 3 mean
A .Mixed. B .Amazing. C .Similar. D .Disturbing.
4 .What does the author’s experience show
A .Teaching is learning. B .Still waters run deep.
C .Knowledge is power. D .Practice makes perfect.

Kathy Ho teaches high school inside Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford (LPCH).

“Sometimes I don’t like saying that I’m a teacher,” says Ho. “People get in their minds an idea of what teachers do, but that’s not really what it is here.”
“Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them to return to school is an increasingly
important component of care.
Still, in room 386, academics don’t come first. Physical health and mental health are the priority. “If you’re scared about something and thinking only about that, there’s no way you’re going to be able to learn,” Ho says. “I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher.”
There are up to 30 students at any given time in Ho’s class. She generally works with their regular teachers to get lessons and tests being used at their home schools. Some teachers don’t
give the kids any assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. “They think their teachers don’t care about their schoolwork.”
Ho recognizes the psychological benefit of helping kids keep up with their peers (同龄人) outside the hospital. “I actually think the medicine is only a small piece for some problems,” says Julie Good, director of pain management services at LPCH. “It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving kids a way to learn and grow.”
5 .Who does Ho teach at LPCH
A .Sick children. B .Young nurses.
C .Medical students. D .Patients’ parents.
6 .What is a characteristic of Ho’s job
A .Prioritizing academics. B .Encouraging innovation.
C .Treating various diseases. D .Playing multiple roles.
7 .What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 4

C .Assigning no schoolwork. D .Showing no sympathy.
8 .How does the hospital school benefit the students according to Good

When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on
constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food —
something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my
kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices
and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an
unintentionally negative impact.
According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries
and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”
Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots.
Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel
like they have some control over it.”
I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available
makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”
9 .What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph
A .She is upset by her kids’ weight. B .She is critical of the way she was fed.
C .She is interested in making food. D .She is particular about what she eats.

10 .Which of the following would Markey disapprove of
A .Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally. B .Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.
C .Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks. D .Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.
11 .What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”
A .Make diet decisions on their own. B .Share their food with other kids.
C .Eat up what is provided for them. D .Help their parents do the dishes.
12 .What does the author think of the strategies she has been following
A .Costly. B .Complex.

“I am not crazy,” says Dr. William Farber, shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine-combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture, chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber, a graduate of Colorado State University, started out as a more conventional
veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried
acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So, after
studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s
suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a
chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past
试卷第 7 页,共 24 页
is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well,” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
13 .What do some ofFarber’s coworkers think of him
A .He’s odd. B .He’s strict. C .He’s brave. D .He’s rude.
14 .Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets
A .He was trained in it at university. B .He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C .He benefited from it as a patient. D .He wanted to save money for pet owners.
15 .What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A .Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B .The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C .Examples of rare animal diseases. D .The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
16 .Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
A .To prove Farber’s point. B .To emphasize its importance.
C .To praise veterinarians. D .To advocate animal protection.
B(2024·北京卷,B)
When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and joyously making marks on the walls at home. In primary school, I learned to write using chalks. Writing seemed to be another form of
drawing. I shaped individual letters into repeating lines, which were abstract forms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secondary school, art was my favourite subject. Since I loved it so much I thought I was good at it. For the art O-level exam I had to present an oil painting. I found it difficult, but still
hoped to pass. I failed, with a low grade. I’d been over-confident. Now I’d been declared talentless.
But other channels of creativity stayed open: I went on writing poems and stories. Still, I
went to exhibitions often. I continued my habitual drawing, which I now characterised as childish doodling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways of looking at art.
However, I couldn’t let myself have a go at actually doing it. Though these new friends were
abstract painters using oil paints, or were printmakers or sculptors, I took oil painting as the taboo (禁忌) high form I wasn’t allowed to practice.

One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big woman in red approached me, handed me a bag of paints, and told me to start painting. The dream felt so authoritative that it shook me. It
was a form of energy, giving me back something I’d lost. Accordingly, I started by experimenting with water colours. Finally, I bought some oil paints.
Although I have enjoyed breaking my decades-long taboo about working with oil paints, I have discovered I now prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn into cartoons I send to friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxious. This time around, I can accept my limitations but keep going.
Becoming a successful painter calls for being resolute. I realised I was always afraid of wanting too much. That dream reminded me that those fears and desires could encourage me to take risks and make experiments.
17 .How did the author feel about the result ofthe art exam
A .Scared. B .Worried. C .Discouraged. D .Wronged.
18 .In her 30s, the author .
A .avoided oil painting practice B .sought for a painting career
C .fancied abstract painting D .exhibited child paintings
19 .Which word would best describe the author’s dream
A .Confusing. B .Empowering.
C .Disturbing. D .Entertaining.
20 .What can we learn from this passage
A .Actions speak louder than words. B .Hard work is the mother of success.
C .Dreams are the reflections of realities. D .Creative activities involve being confident.

When was the last time you used a telephone box I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right The last time I used a phone box for its intended
purpose was 2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread
some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me.
试卷第 9 页,共 24 页
Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s
managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans
dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never
normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.

However, in her 30s, a visit to her eye doctor revealed troubling news: her eyesight was declining. Over time,Jan faced increasing challenges; simple pleasures like reading became
difficult, and driving at night turned perilous as curbs (路沿) seemed to disappear into darkness.
Eventually, Jan’s condition progressed to geographic atrophy (GA), which can lead to permanent vision loss.This left her questioning, “Why me Why now ” Knowing she couldn’t face this diagnosis alone, Jan naturally turned to her mom, Carolyn (81), with whom she had always shared a special connection.

I’ve been in an 18-year love-hate relationship with a black walnut tree.
It’s a unique tree. In late September or early October, falling fruits as hard as baseballs threaten the skulls (头骨) of you, your children, your neighbors and those that live next door to them. Umbrellas in the yard are a must while dining in early August, and as for me, I wear my bike helm et while working in the garden.
The black walnut also releases a chemical substance through its roots as a competitive
strategy. It’s poisonous to several common plants. There have been many new plant varieties that I brought home with hopes that maybe the black walnut would accept them, but they failed to grow.
What does work are native plants that naturally grow in the area. Native plants are
important to have around since they provide beneficial pollinators (传粉者) like birds, bees and butterflies with seeds and contribute to a healthy and biodiverse environment. Native plants for this area are generally easy to grow, so they experience less stress.
Have I thought of getting rid of this giant pain in my tiny backyard Yes, however, getting

rid of this tree standing at 50 feet with an 87-inch trunk is next to impossible. It’s also protected under the law. Rightfully so. Trees are important to the urban forest and for all of those that
inhabit it.
Sometimes I think about my life without the black walnut. I can’t imagine a spring without the birds who arrive every year and loudly sing their songs before dawn. I’d miss falling asleep on lazy weekend afternoons as I look up into its leaves.
Every spring, I wonder what the season holds: What are the chances of being knocked
unconscious while barbecuing Like any good relationship, I’ll never be pleased. I’m stuck with this tree, so I’ll listen to its needs and give it the space it requires. In return, my walnut offers a habitat for wildlife and a reminder.

Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the

same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we ran remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three
championships here.
If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.
There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table
because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the
house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or ifI have an important
announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.
Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I
know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.

Exams never made me break out in a nervous sweat — but this one did. Even booking my piano exam reduced me to a mess of anxiety.
I feel permanently scared inside churches, where piano exams are held — no longer
admiring their beauty because, over the years, I have received terrible marks from examiners. Despite being 15 — too old to cool to be frightened — I remember trembling in the bathroom before my tests. I wished I had never had to play in front of others.
This time, after booking my Level 8 Royal Conservatory of Music piano exam. I went back to my normal routine. A little practice here, a little practice there. And then it happened. My
trusty, 10-year-old electric piano gave out. When I told my father what had happened to my piano, he only glared at me with disappointment, “When I was your age, I learned to be resourceful.”
Hmm. I had a broken piano, an exam coming up in a few months, and a father who refused to buy me a new piano because he wanted to teach me a “life lesson”. I finally came up with a
decision: I’d practice at school.
The school had many pianos, but only a few were in tune. Within a few days of searching, I headed off to a music room at every available opportunity. I loved finding new pianos in hidden
corners ofthe school and spent hours practicing.
As my exam drew near, all the music teachers knew to look for me in the piano rooms after school. In anticipation of my assessment, one of my music teachers let me perform as a mini

practice exam. To my surprise, she was greatly impressed.
Music had never been the love of my life, but that was changing. When I played, my worries
about how others judged me and how I viewed myself merged to reveal who I really am. All my
adolescent thoughts made me feel like I was in a cage, but music gave me the key. Within a
few months I went from not caring about my playing to feeling actually kind of proud of my work. In my favorite, soundproof music room, I discovered that behind the piano, I could become
anyone. Talking to other people never came easy to me, but I was able to express myself through music. I became overjoyed.
When the time came to play in front of an examiner, all the anxiety I had about going up on stage dimmed, and all I could think about was the marvelous journey I’d had to get here. Trilling the keys reminded me of the bittersweet music experiences of past years and my happiness
nowadays.
Many days later, I received my mark — a rarely mentioned “well done”. Now, whenever I get caught up in the daily struggle, I remember the hard work that it took to reach my new goal.
Whenever I feel discouraged, I never forget to look at the gleaming keys of my new upright piano. As my father always says, some lessons are just learned the hard way.

The person who set the course of my life was a school teacher named Marjorie Hurd. When
1 stepped off a ship in New York Harbor in 1949, I was a nine-year-old war refugee, who had lost his mother and was coming to live with the father he did not know. My mother, Eleni
Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned and shot for sending my sisters and me to freedom.
I was thirteen years old when I entered Chandler Junior High. Shortly after I arrived, I was told to select a hobby to pursue during“club hours.” The idea of hobbies and clubs made no sense to my immigrant ears, but I decided to follow the prettiest girl in my class. She led me into the
presence of Miss Hurd, the school newspaper adviser and English teacher.
A tough woman with salt-and pepper hair and determined eyes, Miss Hurd had no patience with lazy bones. She drilled us in grammar, assigned stories for us to read and discuss, and
eventually taught us how to put out a newspaper. Her introduction to the literary wealth of Greece gave me a new perspective on my war-torn homeland, making me proud of my origins. Her efforts inspired me to understand the logic and structure of the English language. Owing to her
inspiration, during my next twenty-five years, I became a, journalist by profession.
Miss Hurd retired at the age of 62. By then, she had taught for a total of 41 years. Even after her retirement, she continually made a project of unwilling students in whom she spied a spark of potential. The students were mainly from the most troubled homes, yet she alternately bullied and charmed them with her own special brand of tough love, until the spark caught fire.
Miss Hurd was the one who directed my grief and pain into writing. But for Miss Hurd, I wouldn't have become & reporter. She was the one who sent me into journalism and indirectly caused all the good things that came after.
42 .What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 most probably mean

In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift . On receiving it, I jumped on
my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and
wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I
suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought

new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I've taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an

The first time I went to Germany with my boyfriend, I was very young and hadn’t been to many places. As soon as we arrived, I had this incredible revelation.“I know all about this area.
The food, the language. I know all about the Schwarzwald, the Black Forest,”I said to his German family.“How do you know about this ” they asked, in disbelief.
That was the first time it dawned on me how much I knew about the rest ofthe world, and how prepared I was for it, just from growing up in New York City — that I had been everywhere before I’d ever actually gone anywhere.
I grew up in the Chelsea Projects, 288 10th Avenue at 26th Street. A lot of kids there were first generation Americans with immigrant parents who were still speaking Yiddish or Chinese or
试卷第 19 页,共 24 页
Portuguese, or just name a language, and they were speaking it. You ate every imaginable food from the rest ofthe world there. You were exposed to all different kinds of traditions.
It wasn’t just that. The whole city was a classroom. All over town, you learned stuff you
didn’t even know you were learning. You didn’t have to be rich to learn it, either. My mom was a teacher — a great Head Start teacher — and she made sure I partook of everything New York had to offer people who didn’t have any money, because she knew it was the greatest education in the world.
We went to all the museums, which were free back then. We’d ride the bus to Lincoln
Center, before it was Lincoln Center, and watch dancers dancing there. Or we’d take the train to Coney Island. Those trips are among my fondest memories.
New York City played a big part in making me who I am. It’s where I learned that I could
pursue whatever I loved, but that I couldn’t be a slacker (偷懒的人). The city is everything you’ve heard it is. It’s crazy, it’s horrible, it’s magnificent, it’s beautiful. It’s a real live wire, hard to
leave.
50 .What contributed to the author’s knowledge of Germany

A trip to the library was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best-my father and mother and brothers and sister-and all the things I loved best-quiet, space, and books.
I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and bees-literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went through a phase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to
prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).
One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home.
So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs. I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating. I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend
television held no appeal for me in the wake ofAlcott’s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did.
54 .What can we say about the author’s family

Ben was eleven years old when he spotted his neighbour, Julie, working in her garden. He popped his head over the fence, and said to her, “I’ve seen you’re very good with a lawn mower (割草机) and gardening tools. The hedge (树篱) over the pathway near here has become so
overgrown that I am planning to cut it back myself. Would you like to help out ”
Julie loved the idea of helping Ben and their community. They agreed to cut the hedge the following Sunday. Ben’s brother Josh, aged 8 at the time, also came along to help. All three of
them tackled away at it until they reduced it.
They posted photos of their handiwork on “Our Malmesbury”, their local Facebook Group. The community reaction was amazing. The comments and reactions just kept on coming. The
whole town of Malmesbury seemed to embrace their team spirit and felt inspired to follow their lead. Manypeople raised their hands to volunteer and do more to keep their town tidy. With many willing hands, their town has transformed. Before, the town looked a bit run down, but now, the place looks cleaner and tidier.
To keep the projects going, Ben created a Facebook page and website to support their
projects. Their Facebook Page “Helping The Community Of Malmesbury” currently sits at 669
members and is a place for all the locals to share what litter picking and cleaning up they have
been up to. Ben also managed to sort funding through local businesses and associations. The
funding has helped them obtain trees, plants, tools, and gardening equipment. When community
members plan a clean-up, they can contact them via the website to access any tools and equipment they need to complete a project.
Ben is so pleased that 6 years later, the clean up campaign is still in full-swing. He has just been so overwhelmed with the support over the years that he cannot thank the community enough. Their mission will not stop.

I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless ofwho we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually got the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next
morning to start a new day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 17%. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.
Toward the end of my fourth year at Merrill Lynch, it hit me that something was missing. I thought long and hard about my goals. Then I was reminded of the time when I spoke to hundreds of people, while in college as a student leader, and years later, when I won a “Humorous Speech” championship. It dawned on me that every time I made a speech, I always had a wonderful,
energetic, peaceful and magical feeling that was unmatched by anything else I did. I knew the extraordinary public-speaking skills I was blessed with could enable me to make a lasting
试卷第 23 页,共 24 页
difference and change other people’s lives.
Then I took another daring risk, gave up everything and left the investment business for a more satisfying career as a motivational speaker. The beginning of my speaking journey was
surprisingly similar to what I had first experienced at Merrill Lynch. However, nothing in the
world comes close to the satisfying feeling I get when thousands of people tell me how much I have made a difference in their lives by motivating them to take risks and be the best they could be.
62 .Why did the author meet with a Merrill Lynch branch vice president
A .To get a position. B .To employ more clerks.
C .To arrange an interview. D .To make an advertisement.
63 .Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 2
A .Generous and passionate. B .Anxious and successful.
C .Able and strong-minded. D .Optimistic and cheerful.
64 .Why did the author leave Merrill Lynch
A .Because he hoped to go back to college. B .Because he wanted to influence others.
C .Because he was treated badly. D .Because his business was not successful.
65 .Which is the most suitable title for the text
A .Dare to Take Risks B .Hard work Pays Off

1 .细节理解题。根据文章第一段中“In my ninth-grade writing class last year, I met a cowboy who saved his town, a strict father who demanded his son earn straight A’s, and a modern-day
Juliet who died of heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her young life. More than once, I found myself wondering just how my students, who’d created these people, knew their subjects so well. (去年,在我九年级的写作课上,我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求儿子门门功课全得 A 的严厉父亲,还有一位现代版的朱丽叶——她在父母拒绝其年少挚爱后心碎而逝。不止一次,我暗自琢磨,这些塑造了这些人物的学生,究竟是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的)”可知,这里提到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在写作中创造出来的虚构人物。故选 D。
2 .推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Most of the essays filled less than one page, and few
contained a sentence that could be interpreted as a thesis (论点) statement. I was shocked. Then I realized that the problem was the question itself. They could have written pages on the necessity
of computers, but writing, in and of itself, simply didn’t strike them as important. (大多数文章篇幅不足一页,几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容,但写作本身根本没让他们觉得重要)”可推知,学生们在写第一篇作文时表现不佳,是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感兴趣。故选D。
3 .词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中划线词下文“The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart. (学生们选取了多样的主题,交上来的故事每篇都有 10 到 20 页长,其中的人物拓宽了我的视野,也触动了我的心)”可推知,此处指学生们写出了内容丰富、打动人心的故事,与之前的表现形成强烈对比。划线词“staggering”意为“令人惊叹的、惊人的” ,与 B 选项“Amazing (惊人 的)”语义一致。故选 B。

important to me. When the final bell rang in June, I walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing’s most powerful significance — the ability to connect people, to put us in another’s

言的年鉴离开——这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意义:它能连接人与人,让我们换位思考,教会我们身为人类的真谛)”结合全文内容可知,文章通过作者的教学经历,说明她在教导学生的同时, 自己也领悟到写作的真正意义,这一过程体现了“教学相长” 的理念。选项
A“Teaching is learning (教学相长)”符合文中描述的作者通过教学获得的新认识。故选 A。
5 .A 6 .D 7 .C 8 .B

5 .细节理解题。根据文章第二段中““Here” is room 386, where each year, about 500 LPCH
patients also become students. The hospital school is free of parents, doctors, and medical
procedures. It’s a place of learning. About half of Ho’s students stay for a week or less; others are there for more than a year. Most of Ho’s students will recover, which means that preparing them
to return to school is an increasingly important component of care. (“这里”指的是 386 室,每年约有 500 名露西尔 帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)的患者在这里成为学生。这所医院学校里没有家长、医生,也没有医疗程序。它是一个学习的地方。Ho 老师的学生中,约有一半只待一周或更短时间,其他人则会待一年以上。大多数学生最终会康复,这意味着,帮助他们做好重返学校的准备正成为护理工作中日益重要的组成部分)” 可知,Ho 在露西尔 帕卡德儿童医院(LPCH)教生病的孩子。故选 A。
6 .细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“I’m a coach, an adviser, and a comforter, and that’s what it means to be a hospital teacher. (我是一名教练、一名顾问和一名安慰者,这就是作为一名医院教师的意义)”可知,Ho 工作的一个特点是扮演多种角色。故选 D。
7 .词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词所在句“Some teachers don’t give the kids any
assignments; they express sympathy instead. “I feel like it is a disservice to the kids,” Ho says. (一些老师不给孩子们布置任何作业,而是表达同情。Ho 说:“我觉得这对孩子们是一种伤
害”)” 可推知,其中的“it”指的是不给孩子们布置作业这件事。故选 C。
8.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中 Julie Good 所说的“It’s about problem-solving around what it means to have a full life. Those kids have dreams. School can keep those dreams alive by giving

kids a way to learn and grow. (这关乎围绕 “何为充实人生” 展开的问题解决。那些孩子拥有 梦想,而学校能通过为他们提供学习与成长的途径,让这些梦想得以延续)”可推知,Good 认为医院学校通过让孩子保持学习和成长,帮助他们维系梦想,即帮助他们生活在希望中。故选 B。

9 .推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. ‘You don’t want to get fat’ was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my
relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. (当我还是个孩子的时候,
我经常被告知什么不能吃。“你不想变胖”这句话在我整个童年时期不断重复。这真的搞砸了我与食物的关系 —— 这是我花了多年时间才克服的问题)”可知,作者童年时被灌输的饮食观念对其产生了负面影响,由此可推断出,作者对自己童年时被喂养的方式持批判态度。故选 B 项。
10.推理判断题。根据第二段“According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. ‘There are so many things in
parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them, ’ she says. ‘It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.’ (根据心理学教授夏洛特·马基的说法,食物是为数不多的家长说得少反而更好的话题之一。“在育儿方面,有很多事情值得深入讨论,但我不认为食物是其中之一,”她说。“这只会给孩子们带来一些不必要的担忧和不安全感,这并不健康。”)”可知,马基不赞成家长和孩子过多谈论食物相关的话题,而向孩子解释吃零食的风险属于谈论食物的话题,所以马基不会赞成。故选 C项。
11 .细节理解题。根据第三段“Instead, she recommends applying a well known concept among nutrition experts called the ‘Division of Responsibility,’ where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. (相反,她建议应用营养专家中一个著名的概念,即‘ 责任划分’,在这个概念中,家长在固定的时间为孩子提供各种主要是健康的食物,而孩子自己决定想吃什么和吃多少 —— 即使这意味着偶尔吃的饼干比胡萝 卜多)”可知,根据“ 责任划分” ,孩子应该自己做饮食决策。故选 A 项。
答案第 3 页,共 16 页
12.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. (我一直在尝试这些策略,我发现当我不那么严格限制时,他们确实会做出更好的决策)”可知,孩子们确实会做出更好的决策,所以作者会认为自己所遵循的策略是可行的。故选 C 项。

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后,将综合医疗应用于动物,并取得了初步成效。
13.细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.( 如果他看起来有点戒备的姿态,那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知,Farber 的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法,他们认为他很奇怪。故选 A。
14.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed
likely to work on his patients. So, after studying the techniques for a couple of years, he began
offering them to pets.(然后,他尝试了针灸,这是一种古老的中国疗法,并惊讶地发现,经过两三次治疗,他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此,在研究了这些技术几年后,他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知,Farber 作为患者从针灸中受益,这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选 C。
15 .主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared to put him to sleep, but Farber’s
treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse, Nappy, “moves more easily and rides
more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说,查理心脏病发作后,她准备让他进入睡眠状态,但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦,她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说,她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后,“行动更容易,乘车更舒服”。) ”可知,本段主要讲述了两个例子,一个是 Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗 Charlie ,另一个是马 Nappy 在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选 D。
16 .推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time, and if the past is any indication, he may be right: Since 1982,

700. ( 法伯确信,随着时间的推移,综合疗法会越来越受欢迎,如果过去有任何迹象的话,他可能是对的: 自 1982 年以来,美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从 30 个增加到 700 多个。)”可知,法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎,随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从 30 个增加到 700 多个的例子,因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选 A。
