【讲通练透】考点28 阅读理解之记叙文
一、材料特点
人物故事类的阅读理解是中考英语的常考材料之一。这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类。
1. 人物传记主要涉及某人的生平事迹、趣闻轶事、生活背景、个性特征、成长和奋斗历程等，其特点是以时间的先后或事件的发展为主线，脉络清楚，可读性较强。
2. 短篇故事与人物传记不同的是，这类文章一般描述的是某一件具体事情的发生发展或结局，有人物、时间、地点和事件。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的态度及意图、故事前因和后果的推测等方面着手，考查考生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。
二、解题技巧
1. 阅读人物传记类文章时应该抓住时间线索来获取有关信息，即主人翁在某个时间做过什么，然后通过分析推理、综合归纳的方法进行解题。
2. 阅读短篇故事类材料时，同学们一定要根据主要情节掌握文章主旨大意，同时抓住每一个细节，设身处地地根据文章内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据情节展开想象，这样的话即使是深层理解题也可迎刃而解。

It was a beautiful Saturday morning, a perfect morning for playing or swimming. However, Tom had to finish the work Aunt Polly gave him. As Tom started to paint Aunt Polly’s very long fence, along came Ben Rogers with a juicy apple in his hand.
Tom was silent. He focused on his painting like an artist.
“Looks like a lot of work, Tom.”
Tom turned suddenly. “Oh, it’s you, Ben! I didn’t notice.”
“I’m going swimming. Don’t you wish you could come instead of doing work?”
“What do you call work?” asked Tom.
“Isn’t that work?”
Tom kept painting and answered careless, “Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. All I know is it isn’t work for me.”
“Oh, come on. You can’t mean you like it?”
Tom continued painting. “Like it? Well, I don’t see why not. Does a boy get a chance to paint a fence every day?”
That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom swept his brush carefully back and forth, added a touch of paint here and there, and stopped to take a look at it all. Ben watched every move and became more and more interested until he finally said, “Tom, why don’t you let me paint a little?”
Tom considered Ben’s offer. “Well, no, I can’t let you, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly takes pride in this fence. I think there isn’t one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it the way it’s got to be done.”
“Oh, come on. Let me try. I’d let you, if I were painting, Tom!”
“Ben, I’d like to, honestly, but Aunt Polly, well ...”
“I’ll be careful. Just let me try. I’ll give you some of my apple.”
“Well, no, Ben. I’m afraid ...”
“I’ll give you all of it!”
Tom slowly gave Ben the paintbrush. Ben took the brush eagerly(急切地) and started to paint. On Tom’s face was a look of regret but in his heart, he was satisfied.

Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
“Watson,” said Mr. Smith, “this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to drop that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry, ______________.’’ “But, sir — if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”
“What’s that!” said the boss. “Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s an expensive school for a man with your salary.”
“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! He’s a star athlete and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ there.”
The boss sat seriously still for a long time — a faraway (恍惚的) look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll take over a new job in another department. It means longer hours — maybe more pay. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
Watson got out, with surprise on his face. Then the boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s last letter from Riverside School — written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:
I can’t say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere when you're a cripple (跛脚的人). But don’t worry about me, Dad. And there’s one boy here who is really great. He’s a track star and boxing champ (冠军) and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, I am so grateful to him, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big — that he won’t even know about.

（2021·湖南郴州市·中考真题）
On February 20, 2021, Jasmine Harrison became the youngest woman to row (划艇)alone across the Atlantic Ocean. It took the 21-year-old swimming teacher just over 70 days to do it.
Ms. Harrison, who’s from England, didn’t have much experience in rowing long distances (A). She got the idea three years ago when she happened to be in Antigua. There she saw the end of the 2017 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. “I want to do this, so I’m going to do it.” she said.
Every year, rowers taking part in the Atlantic Compaign set out from the Canary Islands in December and row about 4,800 kilometers across the Atlantic. Some row in teams of two, three or four. Others, like Ms. Harrison, row by themselves.
It wasn’t easy. Every day, Ms. Harrison would row for about 12 hours. She rowed about 20, 000 strokes (划) a day.
Ms. Harrison had a smartphone that allowed her to talk with family and friends every day. She had other company along the way. She saw lots of sea life, including some whales. For several days, she was followed by a small group of dolphins(海豚) “I was in their environment.” she said. “It was just amazing.”
There was danger, too. Twice, her boat was turned over in the night by large waves. She hurt her elbow quite badly. Another time, she nearly ran into a ship.
Somehow, she kept going. Finally, on February 20, after 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes, she reached Antigua—the end of the journey. Ms. Harrison’s rowing has made her the youngest woman ever to row alone across the Atlantic. Before, that record was held by Kaitie Spotz from the USA, who crossed the Atlantic as a 22-year-old in 2010.
1．When did Ms. Harrison get the idea of taking part in the Atlantic Campaign?______
A．In 2010. B．In 2018. C．In 2021.
2．Ms. Harrison set out from ______ in the Atlantic Campaign.
A．London. B．Antigua. C．the Canary Islands.

A．陪伴 B．宾客 C．公司
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?______

Spending almost a full day in the car with a 70-year-old woman could be boring. However, for a 15-year-old girl, it was a great memory for many reasons. During the trip, we discussed anything we had wondered about in life. And I learned a lot I had never expected to.
I learned that we shouldn’t take ourselves seriously and that not everyone has to get “old and boring”. She is probably one of the coolest, funniest and most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met. In boring moments (时刻), she never fails to tell one of her famous jokes. But when you need a shoulder to cry on, she is there to comfort you. She taught me that “Laughter is the best medicine”.
She never brings her phone, and she is okay with it. That hasn’t stopped her from shopping and talking with her family online. She doesn’t take pictures of everything she sees.
From now on, I plan on accepting the fact that I don’t need to stay connected with social media (社交媒体) all the time. Even though I don’t use a mobile phone, I can also be better at communicating with people.
There are so many things you can learn from someone older and wiser than you. You don’t need to ask for advice, just slow down and enjoy the conversation. You’ll be surprised at how amazing it is.

I used to be a pessimist(悲观主义者), thinking that the worst thing might happen in every situation.
Last year, my mother had a serious illness. I felt my whole world turn upside down and I had no idea what I could do to help her with her pain. I often cried whenever I was alone.
Last month, I lost an expensive dress that was a birthday present from my father. I could not fall asleep for a few nights because I felt so terrible about the loss.
There have been many things like these in my life. I really didn’t know how to deal with them until I read If You Have a Lemon, Make a Lemonade by an American writer, Dale Carnegie.
“When the wise man is handed a lemon, he asks: ‘How can I turn this lemon into a lemonade? How can I improve my situation? What lesson can I learn from this?’” he wrote.
I suddenly realized that life is full of ups and downs, so I decided to stay positive(积极的) all the time.
Now when I think of my past, I wish I could have dealt with things differently. When my mother was fighting with her illness, I should have held her hands in mine, telling her that things would get better instead of hiding and crying.
Recently, I took part in a school singing competition. I didn’t win a prize. If I had not read the article, I would be sad and disappointed again. But I smiled after the competition because at least, I had got some experience in the singing competition.
Life is not just a bed of roses. There are thorns(刺) as well, but these thorns help us become braver and better. When life offers us a lemon, let’s try to make a lemonade.

We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. My husband has a very good memory and a good sense of direction, so I blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. And then, however, we found that we got lost. Having no other option, we turned to a young American guy. On hearing our problem, he took us to the station, which was a few blocks away.
On reaching there, we wanted to buy the tickets of the train by using the dollar coins but the machine didn’t work. A young woman who was standing near the machine told us that the machine was out of order. On hearing this, the young American guy, even without thinking for a moment, took out his credit card（信用卡）and bought the tickets for us. “Here you go,” said he, with a smile and handed over the tickets to us. We wanted to give him the ticket money, but he refused our offer and we had the feeling that he was not expecting it from us. “No, thanks,” said he and told us to hurry up in order to catch the train which was going to leave in the next few minutes. “Goodbye and have a great day,” said he and waved to us. Deeply moved, we thanked him and shook hands with him.
On reaching home, we told our family about this and wanted to thank him again through the local newspaper but found that we had forgotten to get his name in a great hurry!

The year 2021 marks the 100 birthday of the Communist Party of China and “red tourism” has become a hit. Many middle school students go out to learn things out of textbooks. Here is the introduction of four historical heroes in a memorial hall.

In 1960, Lei Feng became a solider and soon joined the Communist Party. He did many good deeds in his life. For example, he gave money to the parents of another soldier, and bought tickets for a stranger. After his death, Chairman Mao called on people to learn from him. Lei Feng is more than a name in China; he’s a symbol of selflessness(无私) and modesty.

Liu Hulan was born in Wenshui, Shanxi and joined the Party in 1946. To support the army, she offered food, passed secret messages and so on. On January 12, 1947, at the age of 14 years old, she was killed by the enemy for she refused to betray(背叛) her partners in the Party. She was really loyal(忠诚的)to the Party. Just as Chairman Mao wrote “a great life a glorious death”.

Born in Jingle County, Gao Junyu graduated from the First Middle School of Shanxi. Then he entered Peking University and took part in the May 4th Movement of 1919. In 1921, he joined the Communist Party and became the first party member in Shanxi. He also tried to set up the Communist Youth League in Shanxi. In 1925, he died of illness and was buried in Taoranting Park:

Jiao Yulu became a symbol of the honest Communist Party cadre(干部) who worked tirelessly for the people. After he joined the Party in 1946, Jiao devoted his energy to fighting poverty(贫困). As the Party leader of Lankao County, Jiao Yulu encouraged people there to fight poor conditions and helped pull the county out of poverty.

21．How did Lei Feng help others in need?A．By giving away money to them.
B．By teaching them basic knowledge.
C．By leading them to fight poor conditions.
22．Why did Chairman Mao describe Liu Hulan as “a great life, a glorious death”?
A．Because she was really young when she died for the Party.
B．Because she did a lot for the Party and even gave up her life.
C．Because she didn’t betray her family in the face of the enemy.
23．Among the four people, who was the first to join the Communist Party?
A．Lei Feng. B．Liu Hulan. C．Gao Junyu.
24．What was Jiao Yulu praised for?
A．Offing food to the poor.
B．Helping people fight poverty.
C．Setting up the Communist Youth League.
25．Which spirits can we learn from them?
