专题05 阅读理解（记叙文）

（2022秋·江苏徐州·九年级统考期中）When I was a little girl, my parents read bed time stories to my sister and me every night. It is one of my favourite childhood memories.
My sister and I had many books. As I grew older, I enjoyed staying in my father’s “library” and would read for hours each day. To make me play with friends outside like other kids, my parents would have to take books away from me.
I see reading as an important part of my everyday life, not just a hobby on which I can spend my free time. Reading opens up a whole new world to me, which includes lots of new ideas and rich knowledge.
Through reading, I’ve become a better learner.
Although I enjoy communicating with people, I’m an introverted person and really need my own time. Last year, I had several experiences that made me begin to feel worried about my shyness, and I felt that it would make me lose many chances. Around that time, I read Susan Cain’s book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking. This book helped me understand myself better. And I’m not afraid to be myself now.
Charlie Jones says, “You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read.” I’ve met great people and travelled around the world—all from my chair or bed with a book in my hands.
1．What does the writer think of reading?
A．A good way to learn new things. B．A favourite hobby in her free time.
C．An activity that makes her different. D．A bridge between her friends and herself.

A．独特的 B．懒散的 C．粗心的 D．内向的
3．How has reading helped the writer?
A．By making others understand her. B．By making her believe in herself.
C．By changing her into an organised girl. D．By encouraging (鼓励) her to change herself.
4．From Charlie Jones’ words, we can know that ________.
A．one person shouldn’t read the same books
B．making friends is as important as reading
C．books can help people grow into better ones
D．people should read more books in 5 years

（2022秋·江苏徐州·九年级统考期中）“Are you listening, Simon?” Simon’s teacher asked. Simon smiled and shook his head. He hardly listened in class. Talking was so much better. He just wanted to be heard.
That evening, Simon felt a little bit sick. His throat really hurt. He had ice cream and hot chocolate to make it feel better. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out. “Honey, you’ve lost your voice,” said his mom. “Can I stay home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out. Instead, his mother checked him for a fever and pronounced him good to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk. How awful!
When his classmates talked to him at school, he just shrugged (耸肩). By the time the bell rang, almost everyone was looking at him as if he had grown a third eye. Simon sat in class, watching others talk to each other in groups. In Maths class, he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10, but that wasn’t fun. He decided to try to pay attention.
You know what? It wasn’t that bad. He could easily finish his homework that night. It gave him extra game time because his work was all done. The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he listened and raised his hand to speak.

（2022秋·江苏苏州·九年级苏州中学校考期中）One day I went to a store with a list. “Excuse me,” I said. A lady with glasses looked up, saying, “I’m Miss Bee. Come closer and let me look at you. I want to be able to describe you to the police if something is missing from the store. ”
“I’m only a little girl, not a thief (小偷)!” I was surprised.
“But I think you’re potential (有可能的) ,” she said.
“I need these,” I said, holding up my list.
“So what? I am not a person who works for you. Go to get them. ” she said.
The store was a puzzle to me. It took me two hours to find everything on the list. “That packet of beans is only 29 cents, but you asked me for 35 cents. ” I corrected her. She didn’t seem unhappy, just looked at me over her glasses.
The following summer I visited Miss Bee some times a week. She always found ways to fool me. Or shortly after I remembered the places of something on the shelf, she arranged (重排) the shelves again and made me hunt for them again.

One morning I was to get a packet of chocolate. “Miss Potential, what did you learn this summer?” she said. “That you’re a meanie (刻薄鬼)!” I answered angrily. But she laughed, “Well, I believe my job is to teach every child I meet life lessons to help them. When you get older, you’ll be glad our paths crossed!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! It was absurd.
Until one day my daughter said, “Could you finish my math problems for me?” “How will you ever learn to do it yourself if I do it for you?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store where I had learned the hard way to check my bill. Now I have known what Miss Bee did for me. She is my good teacher.

（2022秋·江苏·九年级统考期中）I gave the young man I had saved bread, raisins (葡萄干) and water. After his run and hiking to the cave, he was tired out. I showed him a pallet (草垫子) and a blanket and he fell quickly asleep.
As I studied him, I guessed his age at around twenty-six. He was tall with straight, strong arms and legs. The young man slept for only about a half hour before pulling himself out of the cave. Again he made gestures to show that he was grateful to me.
We communicated primarily by gestures at first. Soon my new servant showed himself much better at learning my language than I was at learning this. I called him Friday, for it was on Friday that I saved him. He quickly learned “yes” and “no” and the names for different items.
We spent a full day at the cave, then returned to the beach to see if his wild men remained.
They had gone. Over time, Friday told me that when two tribes (部落) went to war, the victor always took away the bravest soldiers of the enemy tribe. They even ate him to get the ferocity (残暴) and courage of the soldiers. I felt sick after hearing this, it sounded more than a little awful to me. However, Friday felt it was as natural as breathing.

（2022秋·江苏南京·九年级统考期中）The list for the sixth-grade basketball team was announced online. I was a little worried because I knew how much my 12-year-old son wanted to make the team.
I read the list of 13 names for a few minutes. Finally, I had to tell myself that my son wasn’t among the players who were allowed to continue playing. I felt sad. I wished it would be about victory. Like every parent, I love to say, “You did it!”
Instead, I had to give my son a speech to comfort my son, which was a lot less exciting, but probably more important. It was not really a speech, but a further discussion about spirit, courage and not giving up. Although it was painful for me to see myself so disappointed (失望), I needed to keep my own feelings in check. Sure, I wanted to call the coach to say he made a big mistake, but I would not. Nor would I let my son know that I thought it unfair (不公平的). Instead, I put my own feelings aside and let my son have a safe place to calm down his own moods. And when he was done, I needed to encourage him to continue to improve skills. That day was a loss, but the only way to get another was to put on his trainers and get on the basketball court again.
My son is 15 years old now. And, after being cut from the team for three years in a row (连续地), he got to see his name on the list for the high school team. Last week, my husband and I watched him play in his first game. The smile on his face when he made his first shot in is something I will never forget. After so many failures, it was a win that didn’t come easy for him. And it wouldn’t have happened if he had given up trying.

B．Because her son didn’t enter the basketball team.

（2022秋·江苏连云港·九年级统考期中）
The world has many refugees (难民), but we usually hear little about their lives. This year’s Nobel Prize winner in Literature, Tanzanian writer Abdulrazak Gurnah, is helping people know more about their stories.
Gurnah’s works are mainly about the impact of colonialism (殖民主义的影响) and the experiences of refugees, who leave their countries to stay safe or find a better life. “These are things that are with us every day. People are dying, people are being hurt around the world—we must deal with these problems in the most kind way,” said Gurnah.
In fact, this problem is very close to his own heart. When he was just 18, Gurnah was forced to leave his home country as a refugee. He moved to England and soon started writing novels there.
Aged 73, Gurnah has written 10 novels and a number of short stories. In 1994, Gurnah wrote Paradise (《天堂》), one of his best-known novels. It’s about a boy in Africa called Yusuf, who grew up during World War I. Yusuf was sold by his father to a traveling trader to pay a debt (债务). As he traveled, Yusuf saw war, disease and child slavery. The name of the book is ironic (讽刺的), because although the scenery of Africa is beautiful, what happens in the story there is the opposite.
Before Gurnah retired, he was a professor at the University of Kent in England. The head of the university’s School of English said that Gurnah’s works “have touched millions worldwide and shine a light on human experiences that are so often ignored (忽略)”.
32．Gumah’s hope might be ________.
A．to make Africa more beautiful
B．to experience the life of a refugee

35．The best title of the article may be ________.

（2022秋·江苏苏州·九年级苏州中学校考期中）It was Christmas Eve. When everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn’t fall asleep. He still couldn’t think of what he wanted as a special Christmas present. He wondered how Santa-Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didn’t know himself.
As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to the stairs. He hoped to take a look at the old man before Santa left for his next stop.
By the time Bunny was at the bottom of the stairs, everything was silent again. Lots of presents were put under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed (失望的), Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry.
“Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?”
He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. It also had antlers (鹿角) on its head. Bunny almost mistook it for a dog.
“Are you a reindeer (驯鹿)?” asked Bunny.
“Yes,” replied the brown animal with antlers. “My name is Ralph.”
“And you were pulling Santa’s sled (雪橇)?”
“I was until I got air-sick,” replied Ralph. “Santa had to leave me here and go on with the other seven reindeer.”
“Isn’t it a bit unusual for a reindeer to get air-sick? I mean, isn’t flying what reindeer are famous for?”
“Not me, I’m afraid. It makes me frightened. I always feel sick when it comes to flying,” replied Ralph. “But everyone wanted me to pull Santa’s sled, so when it was my turn I gave it a try. I’m afraid I just wasn’t for the job. Now I’m trapped here and I don’t know how to get back to the North Pole.”
“Well, if you like, you can stay with us as a friend,” said Bunny. As he made the offer, Bunny suddenly realized the special present he wanted from Santa was a new friend!

（2021秋·江苏宿迁·九年级统考期中）It’s half past seven on Monday morning: time to get ready for school. Jay Stone rolled out of bed. He did a couple of quick wake-up exercises and then he went over to his mirror and looked at himself.
“Not bad, Stone, not bad,” he said to himself and smiled. Maybe he wasn’t ready for Hollywood, but with his dark brown eyes and his thick brown hair and eyelashes, he had the looks that turned girls’ heads. He moved in closer to the mirror and smiled, checking his teeth.
“Perfect,” he thought. “Good enough for a toothpaste ad.”
As his eyes moved down to his muscular arms and chest, he smiled again. The hours he spent in the gym and doing sit-ups have paid off（回报）!
But suddenly, the smile froze on his lips. His eyes moved from the upper part of his body down to his legs. His legs were short. Not just short, but far too short for his body. He had the upper body of a six footer, but because of his legs he was much less than six feet, six inches less! Sitting, he was as tall as almost anyone. Standing, he had to look up at most of the boys and even many of the girls.
Why didn’t his legs grow with the rest of his body? At five foot six he was one of the shortest boys in his class. He was the shortest in his own family, he was even shorter than his “little” sister—by three inches! Where did his legs come from? He certainly didn’t get them from his parents. They were both quite tall. Looking through old photos in the family album, he found the answer. It was his grandfather on his mother’s side. His short legs were a gift from Grandpa Tuttle. Thanks a lot, Grandpa!
Of course, the kids at school all noticed Jay’s short legs and they had a nickname for him—Stubs! Almost no one called him by his real name; they all called him Stubs. Stubs Stone. Jay didn’t like his nickname, but he had to accept it. He had no choice.
But Jay couldn’t see in the mirror what his legs could do. They were quick and strong. He was the youngest player on the Brewer High football team. He could run faster than anyone else on the team—and, like a battery-charged rabbit, he kept going and going. Even at basketball, where the other players were much taller than him, they were still afraid of him because of his speed.

From then on, my injured sightless (失明的), cloudy gray eye lived on with me. Sometimes people asked me embarrassing (尴尬的) questions. Whenever kids played games, I was always the “monster (怪物)”. I was always imagining that everyone looked down on me.
Yet Mom would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying. As a child, I thought Mom meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump (碰撞) into something because you are not looking.”
As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.
In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mom and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance (外貌).”
My mom’s love was the sunshine that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be confident but also to have deep compassion (同情) for others.
“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mom gave me lives on.

（2021秋·江苏南京·九年级统考期中）The world has lost a great translator. Xu Yuanchong, one of the world’s most famous Chinese translators, who won the Aurora Borealis Prize for Outstanding Translation of Fiction Literature(北极光杰出文学翻译奖) in 2014, died at the age of 100 on June 17, 2021.
Xu devoted himself to translation for more than 60 years. He published more than 100 translated novels, anthologies(选集) and plays in Chinese, English and French, reaching millions of readers around the world.
“A translated work should be just as beautiful as the original(原作)”, Xu said. He used his creativity to make this possible. Instead of directly translating words from one language to another, he changed the translated wording when necessary to make the text readable and relatable to readers. He practiced translation in line with his belief that “the aim of cultural exchanges is to benefit both sides”, and strove to convey the beauty of sense, sound and form in a literary work using another language.
Born in 1921, Xu went to the National Southwestern Associated University to study English in 1938, where his love for translation was kindled.
In 2010, he received the lifetime achievement award from the Translators Association of China. Xu was a hard worker. He lived in an old house near Peking University. Every day, he would translate about 1,000 words, working until 3 to 4 a.m., then sleep for about three hours and get up at 6 a.m. to continue working.
He often quoted(引用) a verse from English poet Thomas Moore’s The Young May Moon: “And the best of all ways to lengthen our days is to steal a few hours from the night.”
53．From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ________.
A．a translator is never allowed to change the translated wording
B．sense, sound and form should be paid attention to when translating
C．it’s impossible to make a translated work be as beautiful as the original
D．a translator should translate words from one language to another in a direct way
54．What does the underlined word “kindled” in Paragraph 4 possibly mean?
A．Shaped. B．Influenced. C．Lighted D．Needed
55．What does Xu Yuanchong want to tell us by quoting the verse from Thomas Moore?
A．Many hands make light work. B．Actions speak louder than words.
C．The early bird catches the worm. D．Where there is a will, there is a way.

Mr. Brown said, “I see that you don’t talk to anyone or show any interest in anything. What’s wrong?” Larry replied, “Sir, I have a very difficult life. I have to face some very sad things and I keep thinking about them. Because of this, I can’t focus my attention on anything and don’t even feel like talking to anybody.
Mr. Brown listened carefully, thought for a while and said, “Would you like some lemonade(柠檬汽水)?” Larry felt a little surprised and nervously replied, “Yes, thank you!”
While preparing lemonade, Mr. Brown added more salt(盐) on purpose and kept the quantity of sugar low. Larry made a strange face as soon as he drank a sip of that lemonade. Seeing this, Mr. Brown asked, “You don’t like it?” “Um... it’s just there is a bit too much salt in it,” Larry answered. Mr. Brown stopped him, “Oh, it doesn’t matter I will throw it away.” As the teacher was lifting the glass to take it away, Larry stopped him and said, “Sir, please don’t throw it away.” If we put a little more sugar in the lemonade, it will be fine to drink.”
Hearing this, Mr. Brown said “This is what I want to hear. To improve the taste of lemonade, we don’t need to remove the salt from it, we can just add some sugar to it. Similarly, we cannot remove sad things that have already happened to us, but we can add sweetness of good experiences in our life. If you keep on crying about your past, neither your present will be right nor the future will be bright.”

（2021秋·江苏无锡·九年级统考期中）Long long ago, there was a piece of wood. It was not an expensive piece of wood. Just a common block of firewood, one of those thick logs that are put on the fire to make cold rooms warm.
I do not know how this really happened, one fine day this piece of wood found itself in the shop of an old carpenter(木匠). Everyone called him Mastro Cherry, for the tip of his nose was so round and red that it looked like a ripe cherry.
As soon as he saw that piece of wood, Mastro Cherry was filled with joy. Rubbing his hands together happily, he said to himself: “This has come in time. I’m in need of a leg of the table.” But as he was about to give it the first blow, he stood still with arm uplifted, for he had heard a little voice say: “Please be careful! Do not hit me so hard!” What a surprise!
He tried to find out where that voice had come from and he saw no one! He looked under the bench—no one!
He searched the room—no one! He opened the door to look around the street and still no one!
“Oh, I see!” he then said, laughing and shaking his head “There may be something wrong with my ears.” “Well, well—to work once more.” He struck another blow hard on the piece of wood.
“Oh, oh! You hurt me!” cried the same far-away little voice.
Mastro Cherry’s mouth opened wide, turned frightened eyes and his tongue hung down on his chin( 下 巴 ).” Where did that voice come from? This piece of wood has learned to cry like a child? Here it is—a piece of common firewood, the same as any other. Yet—might someone be hidden in it? If so, the worse for him. I’ll fix him!” With these words, he started to knock it. He threw it to the floor, against the walls, and even up to the ceiling.
He listened for the tiny voice to cry. He waited two minutes—nothing; five minutes—nothing; ten minutes— nothing. “Oh, I see,” he said, trying bravely to laugh and touching his hair. “Well, well—to work once more!” So he tried to sing a merry song to get power, and worked on.
“Stop it! Oh, stop it! You tickle my stomach.” This time poor Mastro Cherry fell as if shot. When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the floor.
