阅读理解B篇 记叙文
记叙文是高考英语阅读理解常考的体裁之一。这类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生,发展和结局,通常包含时间,地点,人物,事件等。总体来说,记叙文的阅读难度不大。
从命题形式上来看,记叙文阅读常考细节理解题和推理判断题,偶尔考查词义猜测和主旨大意题。命题顺序一般式按照文章的脉络和事件发展的顺序层层推进。大多数的题目都是考查学生对事情发展的了解,因此把握整个事件的发展脉络,了解整个事件的大致发展对于解题非常重要。
一、 通读全文,把握事件发展脉络。
记叙文的主题往往潜伏在字里行间,无法通过寻找主题句或直接阅读首尾段判断出来,文章主旨要通过阅读所揭示的人物、事件等来进行提炼,着重对人物和事件的分析。因此,解题前先阅读全文,大致把握事件的发展,归纳出文章主题。
二、 关注细节,注重联系,理清文章的线索。
阅读过程中,要注重阅读记叙文的4阶段—事件的开端,发展,高潮和结尾。理清记叙文的5W—what,who,when,where,why。阅读中,要注意前后文尤其是事件发展前后的联系。把握记叙的顺序。
解答细节题,按照前后顺序,逐题解答即可。这类题目考查对事件的了解,通常比较容易,只要找到相关细节,即可找到正确答案。
三、 读懂文意,挖掘文字背后的含义,分析多种表现手法。
对于词义猜测,推理判断和主旨大意等题型,考生不要被表象所迷惑,考生需要推敲字里行间背后作者想要表达的含义,解题时要从文章主题出发,联系细节,逐个选项证实排除,最终选定正确答案。
推理判断题解题技巧:排除法
1. 如果要求对某段内容进行推断,推理,那么就只看题干要求的那段。
2.一般排除绝对项(must,always,never, all, only, have to, none, completely)
常选语气可能性不大的答案(may,might,could ,be likely to,possible,not necessarily)
3.排除照抄原文项或对原文作字面解释的项
Passage 1(2021 •新高考1卷•第24—27题)
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova — not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeat passages. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my entire life.”
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?
A. Read music. B. Play the piano.
C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A. Boring. B. Well-paid.
C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise?
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”?
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了为钢琴演奏者做翻页工作的Robert Titterton和他的工作情况。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.(我不是受过训练的音乐家,但我学会了识谱,这样我就可以在Maria的表演中帮助她)”可知,Titterton因为识谱,所以可以在Maria的钢琴表演中为她翻页。故选A项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.(这项工作需要很多技能。你必须确保你不会一次翻两页并且必要的时候确保你回到前面找到音乐重复的部分)”可知,为钢琴家翻页这项工作很需要技巧。由此推知,Titterton的工作要求是很高的。故选C项。

细节理解题。根据第四段“Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.(无声的舞台交流是关键,每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”风格来表示翻页,他们需要和翻页者进行练习)”可知,Titterton需要和钢琴演奏者练习识别他们的“点头”示意来翻页。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“He’s interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’(他对音乐很感兴趣,感受着每一个音符,所以我不得不说:“翻页,翻页!”)”可知,Ms Raspopova的丈夫因为对音乐感兴趣,所以帮她翻页的时候总是沉浸在音乐中而忘掉自己的工作,她不得不去提醒。故选D项。
Passage 2(2021•新高考2卷•第24—27题)
I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo, Paris for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I've got two children—the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving - but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn't worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd get up to mischief. We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren't there.
I'm not sad about it. I'm hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
24. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?
A. To ensure their survival. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To let them play with his kids.
25. What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Behave badly. B. Lose their way. C. Sleep soundly. D. Miss their mom.
26. What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Risky.
27. Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?
A. They frightened the children. B. They became difficult to contain.
C. They annoyed the neighbours. D. They started fighting each other.
【答案】24. A 25. A 2 6. B 2 7. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者为了保证两只老虎幼崽的存活,决定在家里全天候照顾它们。介绍了老虎在作者家生活的情况以及作者照顾老虎的感受。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don't make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. (在全球范围内,动物园里三分之一的苏门答腊老虎幼崽活不到成年,所以我决定在家里全天候照顾它们)”可知,作者把老虎幼崽带回家是为了确保他们的存活。故选A。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they'd ”(随着它们的活动越来越多,我们白天让它们在房子里自由活动,但当我们睡觉时,我们必须把它们关在一个大房间里,否则它们会)以及后文“We'd come down in the morning to find they'd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.”(我们早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟,让它看起来像个动物园。)可知,作者不得不把老虎们关在一个大房间里,否则它们就会调皮捣蛋,表现不好。早上下楼时发现他们把房间弄得乱七八糟,看起来像个动物园。故画线词意思是“表现不好”。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.(由于需要大量的精力来照顾它们,事情很快变得非常紧张。有一段艰难的日子,我只是觉得非常累)”可推知,作者认为在家里养小老虎累人。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go.(当Spot和Stripe四个月大的时候,他们正在学习如何开门和跳栅栏,我们知道是时候让他们离开了)”可知,作者决定把Spot 和Stripe送回动物园是因为他们变得难以控制。故选B。
Passage 3
Teenagers may not know the name Kevin Mayer, but he's about to play an outsize role in their lives.
The longtime leader of the Walt Disney Company just became the CEO of TikTok (抖音).In doing so, Mayer will lake charge of an app whose influence over a lot of people has made it one of the most influential ,although controversial(有争议的) ,platforms of the era.
Mayer has been with Disney since the early 1990s—minus a period as the CEO of Playboy.com—and he’s helped to acquire some important brands in film industry. More recently he's become known for his key role in the launch of the ll-important Disney Plus streaming service.
Mayer was thought to be among the most obvious potential successors to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, but he was passed over for Bob Chapek,who ran Disney' theme parks unit.
Mayer's departure from Disney may not be a surprise,but his move to TikTok is unexpected. The app, owned by China-based ByteDance, is at a crucial moment in its short history—seeing enormous growth during the pandemic lockdowns but facing increasing criticism over its data-collection practices. As it rises in influence ,the company will surely face a growing drumbeat of intense media and strict monitoring.
In contrast, Disney has never been more delicate, with the coronavinus pandemic having broken nearly all of its core business units, from the close down of theme parks and movie theaters to ongoing interruptions to its production schedules. Mayer,whatever else is motivating the move, is hopping( 跳) to another position at a proper time.
11.What's the text mainly about?
A.The job-hopping of a CEO.
B.The rising influence of TikTok.
C.The decline of the Walt Disney Company .
D.The intense competition between companies.
12.What's the likely reason for Mayer's departure from Disney?
A.He had been offered a higher salary
B.He wasn't qualified for his previous job.
C.He preferred a new career concerning teenagers.
D.He failed to succeed Bob Iger as a CEO of Disney.
13.What do we know about TikTok according to the text?
A.Potential but delicate. B.Profitable but immoral.
C.Popular but controversial. D.Professional but addictive.
14.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To advertise for Disney. B.To report of news.
C.To recommend a new app. D.To compare two companies.
【答案】
11.A
12.D
13.C
14.B
【分析】
本文是一篇新闻报道,介绍了迪士尼公司的高级副总裁凯文梅耶尔从迪士尼跳槽至抖音,担任该公司的CEO。
11.通读全文,特别是根据第二段中的“The longtime leader of the Walt Disney Company just became the CEO of TikTok”可知,迪士尼公司的长期领导者(凯文梅耶尔)刚刚成为抖音的CEO,由此可知,本文主要介绍的是梅耶尔从迪士尼跳槽至抖音,担任该公司的CEO,故A项正确。
12.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Mayer was thought to be among the most obvious potential successors to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, but he was passed over for Bob Chapek”可知,梅耶尔被认为是即将卸任的CEO鲍勃伊格尔的潜在继任者之一,但他被鲍勃查贝克所取代, 紧接着第五段第一句“Mayer's departure from Disney may not be a surprise”说梅耶尔离开迪士尼也许并不奇怪,由此可知,梅耶尔离开迪士尼是因为他没能接替鲍勃·伊格尔成为迪斯尼的CEO,故D项正确。
13.细节理解题。根据第二段中的“one of the most influential ,although controversial(有争议的) ,platforms of the era”可知,抖音平台极具影响力(很受欢迎)但备受争议,故C项正确。
14.通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了迪士尼公司的高级副总裁凯文梅耶尔从迪士尼跳槽至抖音,担任该公司的CEO,是一篇新闻报道,因此文章的目的就是报道梅耶尔跳槽的新闻,故B项正确。
Passage 1(山东省临沂市2022届高三一模)
A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland. “I thought that someone was pranking me,” said Genovefa Klonovska after being handed the letter, which included a handmade colored rose and two paper dolls.
The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius. Jurgis Vilnius, owner of the building immediately called the post office. “I’m so happy they got interested,” said he.
Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to. Only five were found. In several cases children of late recipients were handed a lost letter.
“We felt a moral duty to do this,” said Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post.
One lady compared the experience to receiving a message from a bottle thrown into sea. People were emotional. “Some felt they saw a part of daily life of their deceased parents,” Zebrauskaite said.
In the letter to Klonovska, sent from Koezary in Poland and stamped in 1970, a girl named Ewa complains buses no longer reach her village, so she has to walk in minus 23 degree Celsius cold, and asks for pictures of actors.
Now in her 60s, Klonovska has no memory of Ewa. She probably wrote Ewa after finding her address advertising for pen pals in a newspaper, and the relationship ceased after the letter got undelivered.
“So good that the letter didn't matter much. The loss was not life-changing,” said Klonovska “What if they delivered a lost letter from a suitor (求婚者) to his love, and their wedding never happened?”
4. What does the underlined word “pranking” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Brightening. B. Embarrassing. C. Tricking. D. Pleasing.
5. What happened to the letters in Paragraph 2?
A. They were accidentally found.
B. They remained well-preserved.
C. They were delivered by the former post office.
D. They were hidden by the owner of the building.
6. Which of the following best describes the present post office in Vilnius?
A. Generous. B. Dutiful. C. Honest. D. Cautious.
7. What can we learn from what Klonovska said?
A. Klonovska refused a suitor.
B. Klonovska stopped the wedding.
C. The undelivered letter ruined the relationship.
D. The undelivered letter made little difference to her.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是今年夏天,维尔纽斯郊区的一家前邮局的一堵墙被拆掉时发现了18封很久以前发出的信,邮局工作人员很负责任地花了数月时间寻找合适的收信人。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前“A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania was delivered in December, almost 51 years after it was sent by a pen pal in Poland.(一封写给立陶宛一名12岁女孩的信于去年12月才送达,但距波兰笔友寄出这封信的时间已经近51年了。)”可知,立陶宛的女孩收到了51年前寄给她的信,由此推知当她收到信时,她难以相信,甚至可能觉得有人捉弄她,结合选项和女孩的话“I thought that someone was pranking me,”可推知,划线词pranking的意思是“欺骗”,即Tricking,故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“The letter, together with 17 others, fell out of a ventilation hole (通风口) this summer, dirty and wrinkled, as a wall was taken down in a former post office on the suburb of Vilnius.(今年夏天,维尔纽斯郊区一家前邮局的一堵墙被推倒,这封信连同另外17封信从通风孔里掉了出来,既脏又皱。)”可知,那些信是偶然发现的,故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius, and post office workers spent months looking for the right houses and talking to current renters and neighbors, tracking down where the recipients moved to.(维尔纽斯的街道名称和编号都发生了变化,邮局工作人员花了数月时间寻找合适的房屋,并与当前的租客和邻居交谈,追踪收件人搬到了哪里。)”及第四段的“We felt a moral duty to do this(我们觉得这样做是一种道义上的责任)”可推知,邮局费劲地寻找收信人,说明邮局是尽职的,即Dutiful,故选B。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段Klonovska的话“So good that the letter didn’t matter much. The loss was not life-changing(好在这封信无关紧要。损失并没有改变生活)”可知,那封未送达的信对Klonovska没有什么影响。故选D。

Passage 3
Ellie was a skilled gymnast(体操运动员). But she liked showing off(炫耀)). At the gymnastics tryout(选拔赛), she put on a perfect performance. "See who can do that! " she said proudly.
The next Friday, the list was posted announcing who had made the team. Ellie's name wasn't on it. "It's unfair. I'm better than all the other girls! " she said. She went to see the coach.
"You are quite talented, but your attitude is terrible, " the coach said. "Making the gymnastics team isn't just about gymnastics. It's also about being on a team. " That night Ellie complained to her parents. Her mother was angry, but her father said that the coach had a point. They had a big argument. Ellie couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about what the coach had said.
Ellie couldn't stay away from the gym, so she practiced alone. One day, after watching Ann fall off the parallel bars(双杠)again and again, Ellie ran to her and explained to Ann what she was doing wrong. Ann did as Ellie suggested and improved. Ellie didn't notice the coach was looking at her. Over the next few months, Ellie always helped the other girls. They did better and better. "We couldn't have done this without Ellie's help, " the girls said.
The following year, Ellie tried out for the gymnastics team again. This time, she was modest. When the girls praised her, she just smiled and thanked them. When the coach posted the list of who had made the team, her name was on it. Ellie and the other girls were all very happy.

【解析】这是一篇记叙文.讲述了体操运动员Ellie由于爱炫耀而在选拔赛中落选,后来她在教练的教导下意识到自身不足,逐步学会帮助别人,有了团队意识.最终在第二年通过选拔赛.
4.根据"It's unfair. I'm better than all the other girls! " she said. She went to see the coach.(“这不公平。我比其他的女孩都好。”她去见教练时说。)可知,她对自己没有被选上而愤愤不平,觉得不公平,因此很生气。故选A。
5.细节理解题。根据第三段第一句"You are quite talented, but your attitude is terrible, " the coach said.(教练说,你很有天赋。但是,你的态度很糟糕。)以及第三段最后一句“Ellie couldn't sleep. She kept thinking about what the coach had said.(Ellie无法入睡,她反复思考教练说的话)”可知,Ellie睡不着,是因为她在想教练为什么这么说。故选D。
6.细节理解题。根据第一段“But she liked showing off(炫耀)”可知,文章一开始就指出Ellie喜欢炫耀;然后是参加选拔赛,但是结果落选,回家告知父母。于是“Ellie's parents argued.(Ellie's的父母争论)”。接下来“Ellie couldn't stay away from the gym, so she practiced alone.(Ellie不能远离体育馆,于是她独自训练)”在训练中“after watching Ann fall off the parallel bars(双杠)again and again, Ellie ran to her and explained to Ann what she was doing wrong.(看见Ann从双杠上掉下来,Ellie跑过去给她解释出错的原因)”由此可以看出,Ellie逐渐学会了帮助他人。因此正确的顺序是C. ④②①③。故选C。
7.主旨大意题。全文以选拔赛为线索展开故事,第一次落选是由于她炫耀。她听了教练的忠告后,在训练中学会了帮助别人,逐渐有了团队意识。在第二年选拔赛中获胜。因此文章的标题是Gymnastics tryouts(选拔赛)。故选C。
Passage 4
(2022届石室联中高三·三模拟)
Cal Fire captain Shawn Raley barked evacuation (疏散) orders over the radio for the neighborhood of Sunset Terrace. The sky was red and the wind screamed. New fires lit in bushes and on roofs. A 24-year veteran of wildland fires, Raley had seen nearly everything, including swirling eddies of air called fire whirls. But he hadn’t seen anything like this.
At around 7:15 p. m., he drove toward areas in the wooded hills. He figured that residents would need help escaping. His headlights barely pierced the smoke, but he could see three bulldozers (推土机) inch past him on two-lane Buenaventura Boulevard. Don Andrews drove one; Terry Cummings and Jimmie Jones drove the other two. They were under swaying electrical line, and Raley shouted at them to move away.
In the driveway of a house, Raley spotted a Tesla with someone in the driver’s seat. Dr. Thiruvoipati Nanda Kumar had raced eight kilometres home from Vibra Hospital. His wife, Yasoda, and daughter, Sushma, hadn’t received an evacuation alert, and when the power cut out, their garage door wouldn’t open, locking their car inside.
“Go back!” Raley shouted at Kumar, sounding his siren.
“My wife and daughter are there. Can they come in?” Kumar said, pointing to Raley’s vehicle. He figured they’d be safest with the captain.
“Come in my truck?” Raley asked. “Yes.”
The women jumped into the back seat, coughing. Nearby, flames that climbed 30 metres burned their neighbours’ homes. Soon theirs would fall, as well.
“I’ll lead you out,” Raley yelled to Kumar. “Take your car.”
Debris (碎片) attacked the truck, cracking Raley’s windshield and breaking the other windows as the wind blew the vehicle off the road. The captain threw himself across the passenger seat, protecting his face as the fire passed over them. Yasoda and Sushma screamed.
“Are you okay?” Raley shouted, though he knew the answer. He was embarrassed. He’d told this trapped family that he would get them out safely. Now they were covered in glass and bleeding. Behind them, the trunk of Kumar’s Tesla was a flame.
4. What can we learn about Raley?
A. He hadn’t seen fire whirls in his career as a veteran of wildland fires.
B. He was quite experienced when it came to dealing with wildland fires.
C. He was so angry that he shouted at Don to move away from the road.
D. He saved the Kumar’s family out of the fire in his truck on seeing them.
5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The smoke was so heavy that Raley could hardly see the road.
B. The doctor’s house was burnt down to the ground when Raley arrived.
C. There were three persons driving bulldozers quickly on the two-lane road.
D. Dr. Kumar with his wife was trapped in the car when the power cut off.
6. Why was Raley embarrassed in the last paragraph?
A. Because he was injured by the fire.
B. Because his truck was blown off the road.
C. Because he might fail to save the family out.
D. Because he found Kumar’s Tesla was on fire.
7. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. A Big Wildland Blaze
B. A Lucky Family
C. Come in My Truck
D. I’ll Lead You Out
本文是记叙文,叙述了在一次野外火灾中,消防队长Raley奋力想救出火灾中Kumar一家人的故事。虽然最终Kumar的妻子、女儿被救出来了,但是Kumar开的车还是着火了。
4. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A 24-year veteran of wildland fires, Raley had seen nearly everything, including swirling eddies (旋涡) of air called fire whirls.(作为一名对野地火灾有着24年经验的人,Raley见过几乎所有的情况,包括被称为火旋转的漩涡空气。)”可知,Raley在应对野地火灾方面有十分丰富的经验。
5. A细节理解题。根据第二段中“His headlights barely pierced the smoke.(他的头灯几乎不能穿透烟雾)”可知,大火造成的烟雾很大,Raley几乎看不见路;根据“he could see three bulldozers (推土机) inch past him ”可知,那三辆推土机行驶缓慢;根据文中“The women jumped into the back seat, coughing. ”可知,Kumar的妻子、女儿后来上了Raley的车,没有被困在自己的车里;根据文中“Nearby, flames that climbed 30 metres burned their neighbours’ homes. Soon theirs would fall, as well.(附近,高达30米的大火烧毁了邻居的房屋。很快,他们的房子也会倒下。)”可知, 当Raley到达时,Kumar的房子还没有被烧毁。比较四个选项,只有A项是正确的。
6. C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“He’d told this trapped family that he would get them out safely. Now they were covered in glass and bleeding. Behind them, the trunk of Kumar’s Tesla was a flame.”可以推断,Raley曾经告诉这被困的一家人,他会把他们安全救出。而现在Kumar驾驶的车着火了。因此他为自己失言、无法救出这一家人感到不好意思。
7. D主旨大意题。文章叙述在大火中,Raley希望自己能够将Kumar一家人救出来的经过。文章中提到“I’ll lead you out,” Raley yelled to Kumar. “Take your car.”。“I’ll Lead You Out”是作为消防队长的Raley对Kumar的承诺,可以作为文章的标题。

(福建漳州2022届二模)
Guy Bryant never intended to be a father figure. But over the past 12 years, he’s housed more than 50 foster kids in his Brooklyn apartment.
For decades, Bryant, 61, worked with teens aging out of New York’s child welfare system. His job was to find services that would make the transition (过渡) to living on their own easier. But he felt that what he could accomplish at the New York City Administration for Children’s Services office wasn’t enough. So in 2007, he decided to become a foster parent.
In an interview last month, Bryant told Romario Vassell, 21, one of his foster children, that agreeing to care for him was definitely one of the best decisions he made in foster care. Bryant told Vassell that he was nervous when he took in his first foster child. He said, “I lived alone at that point, and he was a kid that nobody wanted to take because of his behaviors. He got in a fight and he appeared at my house.” Bryant said his family thought he was out of his mind for making such a big lifestyle change and wondered how Bryant would adjust.
Bryant had been Vassell’s assigned case worker when they met. Bryart suggested that Vassell, then an untidy 18-year-old, consider foster care as an option to get out of the home lead shelter where he was staying.
At first, Vassell was hesitant. “I didn’t know how foster care was.” he said.
Since living with Bryant, Vassell now feels like he has a support network. “If I feel down and like I’m cornered, I have someone I can reach out to and talk to.” he said. “And that’s what I really love.”
Bryant told Vassell, “Whatever you’ve learned from me, I want you to teach it to someone else. Because that’s what’s important to me.”
4. What is the second paragraph mainly about ?
A. The shift of teens’ life.
B. An introduction of Bryant’s task.
C. Bryant’s challenge as a foster parent.
D. The reason for Bryant’s being a foster parent.
5. How did Bryant’s family feel about his decision?
A. Disappointed. B. Ashamed. C. Puzzled. D. Embarrassed.
6. What can we know about Vassell from the text?
A. He is now living alone.
B. He was Bryant’s first foster kid.
C. He refused Bryant’s offer at first.
D. He was instructed to pay kindness forward.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text ?
A. To call for social care.
B. To praise Bryant’s deeds.
C. To tell the story of Vassell.
D. To comment on Bryant’s life.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. B
Passage 2
(广东光明2022届二模)
A group of 10 students at Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, recently invented a device, WheeStroll, that enables people in wheelchairs to push a baby stroller(婴儿车). The teens were inspired to create it when Chelsie King, a teacher at their school, went to their teacher, Matt, to ask for help.
Chelsie’s husband, Jeremy King, had brain surgery to remove a tumor(肿瘤) three years ago, which left him with physical challenges. While he can walk, he is unsteady and usually gets around in a wheelchair for safety’s sake. The two of them were expecting their son Phoenix to be born in March. As they struggled to find adaptive ways for Jeremy to care for a baby, they realized there was no way for him to take their baby for a walk outside in a stroller.
Chelsie went to Matt for help. Matt leads a high school class called “Making for Social Good”. Matt thought Chelsie’s idea to make Jeremy an adaptive wheelchair attachment was the perfect project for his students, so they got to work!
The students talked to somebody at the local fire department who actually does baby car seat installation(安装) training to try to better understand how those things work. They held a video conference with Jeremy and Chelsie to discuss his needs and wants, and then they each came up with an idea and created a 3D model for it. Together, they narrowed everything down to the best two designs. The teens put their designs through rigorous testing before they were ready for Jeremy to try one out.
“It was certainly emotional seeing the process and everything that went into this,” Jeremy said. “I really feel the students took all my concerns to heart when creating the prototypes(原型),” Chelsie added.
The WheeStroll was completed around the same time Chelsie gave birth. Just a few weeks later, she and Jeremy were able to take Phoenix out for a walk around their neighborhood for the very first time!
4. Who was the students’ invention intended to help?
A. Matt. B. Chelsie. C. Jeremy. D. Phoenix.
5. What is WheeStroll?
A. A stroller. B. A wheelchair.
C. A stroller handle. D. A wheelchair attachment.
6. Why did the students talk to someone at the fire department?
A. To test a baby car seat they had made.
B. To create a 3D model of their invention.
C To get an idea of how their invention would work.
D. To narrow down their choices to the best two designs.
7. What can be inferred about the Kings?
A. They were teachers of the Bullis School.
B. They were moved by the students’ efforts.
C. They were emotional about the birth of their baby.
D. They came up with the idea of a special wheelchair.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. B
Passage 3
(陕西2022届三模)
During my years teaching communication courses at East Carolina University and College of Charleston, I got to hear many incredible true-life stories through students' presentations. Stories that stick out in my mind include a young man's sharing his experience of being falsely diagnosed with a fatal illness, another who failed repeatedly to try out for the baseball team before getting into a game he enjoys much more - golf, and so on. So many unforgettable stories; so much wisdom.
But one story really stands out in my mind to illustrate our incredible power. Here's what happened to this young girl, Suzy.
One Christmas Suzy had her heart set on getting a new Barbie. But not just any Barbie, it was one where she could cut her hair. At least the doll came with scissors. It was the last gift that little seven-year-old Suzy opened, and she felt pure delight. Barbie's hair went from hip length, to waist length, to long layers to irregular, to shoulder length, to pixie (小精灵) short... finally ending with a total buzz cut (圆寸).
Everything's ready and the logical thing to do next was of course for Suzy to cut her own hair. She cut layers and more layers and couldn't wait to show her parents and class.
Little Suzy had a hard time understanding why her mother wanted to take her to a beauty salon to “fix” her hair style. But Suzy firmly believed everyone at school would be so envious of her design concept and skill. Her friends would turn green with envy. Absolutely, her complete and unquestioned confidence in her appearance caused other people to see her beauty.
That story was told 12 years after the fact and Suzy still has pictures of that haircut. She would never cut her hair again, but she cherishes that memory of boundless self-value.
Confidence is like a muscle that you exercise. You decide to be more confident, to choose the positive performance, to take care of yourself, and the feeling of confidence comes to you after that. We all have had that level of confidence at times, but where is it when you need it?
4. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the author's background.
B. To tell some incredible stories.
C. To summarize the main idea of the article.
D. To pave the way for the following.
5. The reason why Suzy wants the Barbie is that
A. she will make a comparison
B. she would like to practice hair cutting
C. she feel like showing off her collection
D. she wants to give her classmates a surprise
6. Which of the following words best describes Suzy?
A. Determined. B. Absurd. C. Sympathetic. D. Aggressive.
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Lifelong Wisdom
B. Confident Scissors
C. Unforgettable Stories
D. Barbie's Encouragement

Passage 4
(湖北2022届高三二模)
In the early nineteenth century in Britain, many improvements were made in medicine. Illnesses that had been deadly a few years before were now curable. However, Surgeons had one problem. They had restricted
access to dead bodies to dissect( 解 剖 ),which was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body and the only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
The job of finding these dead bodies was carried out by an unpleasant group of people called “body snatchers”. They went into graveyards at night and dug up any recently buried bodies. Then they took the bodies to the medical schools and sold them. A body could be sold for between£5 and 10, which was a lot of money at that time.
The most famous of these body snatchers was a man from Edinburgh called William Burke. He was different because he did not just dig up bodies from graveyards. He got greedy and thought of an easier way to find bodies. Instead of digging them up, he killed the poorer guests in his small hotel. Dr. Knox, the respected surgeon he worked for, never asked why all the bodies he brought him had been strangled(勒死).
Burke was eventually arrested and put on trial in 1829. The judge showed no mercy to him and his
punishment was to be hanged. Appropriately, his body was given to the medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table, just like his victims.
Now, over 180 years later, surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their skills. However, the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather gruesome help.
24.What problem did the British surgeons in the early 19th century face?
A.Some illnesses remained incurable.
B.Dead bodies were not easily available.
C. They had only one way to carry out operations.
D. They had difficulty learning about the flesh and bones.
25.Which can be the best heading for Paragraph 3?
A.Burke’s easier way.
B.Body snatchers’ job.
C.Poor guests in Burke’s hotel.
D.Deals between Burke and Dr. Knox.
26.Which can best illustrate Burke’s story?
A.Justice has long arms.
B.More haste, less speed.
C.Do as you would be done by.
D.Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
27.What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean?
A.Incredibly fascinating. B. Surprisingly influential.
C. Extremely understandable. D. Unpleasantly shocking.
语篇解读:这是一篇记叙文,介绍 19 世纪英国一群特殊工作者:盗尸者。答案解析:24-27 BAAD
24.B从首段However, Surgeons had one problem. They had restricted access to dead bodies to dissect 可知。
25.A本段主要讲一位与众不同的盗尸者 Burke,他投机取巧,找到一条牟利捷径,勒死店里穷困的房客,再把尸体卖出。
26.A Justice has long arms 法网恢恢,疏而不漏。对应末段的 criminals 可知作者对这群盗尸者的评价是罪犯,Burke 尤甚,最终受到法律制裁,正义得以伸张。Do as you would be done by 己所不欲勿施于人。More haste, less speed 欲速则不达。Nothing ventured, nothing gained 不入虎穴焉得虎子。
27.D gruesome,让人不适的,毛骨悚然的,本词义猜测题需通读全文后解答,第二段的 an unpleasant group of people called “body snatchers” 亦给出了提示。
Passage 5
The captain of the ship, the Beagle, wanted someone who would “profit by the opportunity of visiting distant countries yet little known”. The person who answered the call was not the captain’s first choice. It was a young man who had left medical school without completing his degree. What’s more, he had recently received a letter from his father predicting that he would be “a disgrace to yourself and all your family”. Despite all this, his adventures on this ship would lead to one of the most important scientific discoveries of all time.
The young man in question, Charles Darwin, was a geologist and naturalist, fascinated by rocks, plants and animals. The journey gave him the chance to study various living things in their natural environments. After Darwin had spent some time in South America, his room on the ship was crowded with samples of the plants and animals he had collected. As he studied these, he asked himself the question: how did different species come to exist?
At that time, people believed that all species had appeared on Earth at the same time, and had not changed since. But Darwin began to think differently. He noticed that some species of animals were very similar to each other. Maybe animals evolved as they adapted to their changing environments. It was just an idea, but enough to inspire Darwin to look for more evidence.
When the Beagle reached the Galapagos Islands in 1835, Darwin saw a variety of new species, but it was the birds that interested him the most. Darwin noticed that there was a difference between the finches(雀科小鸟) on each of the islands. It seemed their beaks(鸟喙) had evolved according to what food was available on that particular island.
Darwin suspected the finches had evolved from a common ancestor, which had arrived on the islands a long time before. Over time, it had slowly evolved into many new species. And that was the answer to how new species of plants and animals came to exist: they evolved from earlier ancestors.
It was a completely new idea—a theory of evolution. Darwin explained this theory in his book, On the Origin of Species. Many people refused to believe that living things, including humans, had evolved from lower forms of life. But Darwin’s scientific studies were so convincing that more and more people started to believe his theory.
Today, On the Origin of Species has changed ideas about life on Earth forever. And it all began with the journey on the Beagle.
28.Why did the captain of the Beagle choose Darwin to sail together?
A.Because he appreciated Darwin’s talent and wanted to offer some help.
B.Because he had recently received a letter asking for help from Darwin’s father.
C.Because he hoped this valuable expedition would also benefit someone who needed it.
D.Because he thought Darwin’s adventures might lead to an important scientific discovery.
29.Which of the following is the correct order to describe Darwin’s exploration?
①Darwin suspected that the finches had evolved from a common ancestor.
②Darwin proposed a theory that living things had evolved from lower forms of life.
③Darwin wanted to know how different species came to exist.
④Darwin noticed there was a difference between the finches on the Galapagos Islands.
⑤Darwin studied various living things in their natural environments.
A.⑤③④①② B.⑤④①③② C.③④①⑤② D.③⑤②④①
30.What was people’s original attitude towards Darwin’s book, On the Origin of Species?
A.Supportive. B.Critical. C.Neutral. D.Suspicious.
31.Which of the following would be the main idea of this text?
A.Darwin’s interest in various living things made him a great naturalist.
B.Darwin’s journey on the Beagle inspired his Theory of Evolution.
C.Darwin went on a journey to confirm his scientific discovery.
D.Darwin’s discovery has changed ideas about life on Earth.
