二、记叙文的基本结构
三、记叙文的基本要素
记叙文要注意记叙文的“六大要素”即：
【1】时间（When）—— 何时发生，有没有具体时间？【2】地点（Where）—— 何地发生，有没有地点变化？
【3】人物（Who）—— 何人参与，谁是主角？

四、解题技法
高考英语记叙文设题主要集中在细节理解题和推理判断题，因此，阅读这类文章时，
也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，一方面要依据文章的顺序和故事的发展弄清一系列
事件的先后顺序以及它们之间的逻辑关系，必要时可以对事件进行排序；另一方面，还要
根据人物的处境和描写、议论时所用的特定词语来准确把握人物的情感与态度，做到入情
入境，特别要留意描写和议论时所用的形容词和副词。具体答题策略如下：
策略指导 技法解读
弄清六要素 何人、何时、何地，因何原因做了何事，有何结果，有何启示或感想。
弄清写作目的 证明一个观点；赞美某种美德；谴责某种罪恶：提供娱乐。
关注开头和结尾 把握事情的动向，尾段经常是主题的升华所在。
关注情感主线 分析事情的发展脉络，弄清人物关系，透析文章的情感主线。
[方法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。【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】

He began right away, starting with the address on the bill found in the handbag. After
traveling much of the day and finally approaching the address on the bill, he was stopped by a
woman, who asked whether she could buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for
its owner. “But I am the owner,” the woman said. “That’s my purse.”
..........
What drove McCoy to look for the owner of the handbag?21*cnjy*com
A. The urge to find a business partner. B. The resolution to recover his sleeping bag.
C. His own unfortunate experience. D. His anger over the poor living condition.
[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of his few possessions, the sleeping bag he used
in an abandoned house, had recently been stolen. Remembering how angered he’d been by his
own loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner.”可知，他为数不多的财产之一，他在一所废弃的房子里用的睡袋最近被偷了，他想到丢了睡袋使他多么生气，于是决定把钱包还
给钱包的主人，也就是说是他自己不幸的经历驱使麦考伊去寻找手提包的主人。
[答案] C
[方法2] 左顾右盼
推理判断题在做题过程中，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，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。
【典例剖析】
When she was ten years old, Isadora Duncan dropped out of school to teach people dance. If that
job was left to any other ten-year-old, it would have turned out frustrating, difficult, and a little
discouraging.
...............
There is an old quotation “if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its
whole life believing that it is stupid.” And it captures an important truth. At school, Isadora
Duncan was a failure. In the dance hall, she gave form to brilliance.
What does the author try to tell the readers in the last paragraph?
A. It is useless climbing a tree to catch fish.
B. Everybody is a genius in his own way.
C. Miseries come from human stupidity.
D. Teachers can impact students greatly.
[解析] 考查推理判断。最后一段引用古话:“如果你以爬树的能力来判断一条鱼，它终其一
生都会认为自己是愚蠢的。”接着又指出在学校里，伊莎多拉·邓肯是个失败者。在舞厅里，
她光彩夺目。由此可推断出，作者在最后一段想要告诉我们每个人都是独特的天才。
[答案] B
[方法3] 刨根问底
如前所述，主旨大意题或作 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。

McCoy was looking for a safe place to do drugs when something clearly out of place caught
his eye: a luxurious brown leather handbag.
McCoy, 36, could relate all too well. One of his few possessions, the sleeping bag he used in
an abandoned house, had recently been stolen. Remembering how angered he’d been by his own
loss, he resolved to return the purse to its owner.He began right away, starting with the address on the bill found in the handbag. After
traveling much of the day and finally approaching the address on the bill, he was stopped by a
woman, who asked whether she could buy the purse. McCoy refused, saying he was searching for
its owner. “But I am the owner,” the woman said. “That’s my purse.”
A month earlier, Kaitlyn Smith, 29, a sales representative for a medical device company, had
woken up to find her apartment broken into and her purse stolen. Now she came across a tall,
messy-looking man holding it tightly. She could instantly tell he wasn’t in good shape.
At Smith’s urging, McCoy told her his story. He’d been in charge of a landscaping business
until 2012, when a car accident left him addicted to drugs.
Smith, amazed this stranger had gone to such great lengths to return her bag, asked whether
there was anything she could do to help. “I’m a drug addict,” McCoy warned. “I don’t want to
intrude on your life; I’m probably gonna let you down.”
Unafraid, Smith gave him her phone number, saying, “If you want to go to rehab (戒毒所),
call me.” She then drove him back to his neighborhood and left, thinking that would be the end of
it. Two days later, she got a call.
Smith realized that McCoy was serious about getting better, so she dug into her savings
account and bought McCoy a plane ticket to Florida. While there, he would call her to let her
know how he was doing. “We were getting to know each other,” Smith says. “His scared,
desperate voice turned into a healthy, lively one.” After 28 days at a rehab program at Johns
Hopkins Hospital, McCoy is drug-free. He lives at a residential recovery center in Baltimore, and
a GoFundMe page set up by Smith has covered his rent, groceries, and incidentals. His life is
back on track, all because one crime victim could understand another’s loss.
Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A. Drug-abuse Can Heal. B. Lost and Found.
C. Mutual Communication Matters. D. Good Deeds Repaid.
[解析] 主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了瘾君子麦考伊把捡到的手提包归还
给失主史密斯女士，而她后来又帮助麦考伊成功戒毒的故事。通读全文，特别是根据文章
最后一句话“His life is back on track, all because one crime victim could understand another’s
loss.”可知，本文主要讲述了瘾君子麦考伊把捡到的手提包归还给失主史密斯女士，而她后
来又帮助麦考伊成功戒毒，这一切正是源于麦考伊的善行，故善行得到回报，适合做文章

[答案] D
[方法4] 拨云见日
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
是与你素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交的，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在
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。【典例剖析】
When you attend a writing conference, you see a facade that took months or longer to
make up. Plenty is going on behind the scenes. Let’s take a look behind the curtain.
The day starts long before attendees walk through the door. Registration is set up, signs
posted and tables arranged. Logistics (后勤) all fall on the conference organizers. For example,
the annual conference I direct in San Francisco (see the poster above) is a simple one-day
conference that takes more than eight months to put together and around 15 staff and volunteers to
manage. Larger multi-day conferences have even more going on behind the scenes.
The underlined word facade refers to ___.
A. the effort behind the scenes B. the scenes visible to the public
C. the literary masterpiece on display D. the material distributed at the meeting
[解析] 词义猜测题。根据划线词后的“Plenty is going on behind the scenes.”可知，很多事
情都是在幕后进行的，因此此处是说当你参加写作会议时，你会看到一个花了几个月甚至
更长时间才形成的表面现象，也就是说与幕后发生的事情相比，你看到的只不过是表面现
象而已，由此可知划线词指的是“公众可见的场景”。
[答案] B

Passage 1、（2022·全国新高考II卷）
We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many
young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring
Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures
— a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the
pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and
continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there
something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father
frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that
come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An
antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally
speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front
of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me
last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and
Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to
my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.

Passage 2、（2022·全国·高考甲卷）
As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo
penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-
started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her
career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further.
When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to
take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the
world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she
discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off
Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted
to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do
it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the
journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole
experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says.
“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like someprehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it
was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest
things that hit home to Ginni.

C．A discount fare. D．A friend’s invitation.
7．What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A．It could be a home for her. B．It should be easily accessible.
C．It should be well preserved. D．It needs to be fully introduced.
8．What is the text mainly about?
A．A childhood dream. B．An unforgettable experience.
C．Sailing around the world. D．Meeting animals in Antarctica.
Passage 3、（2021·全国·高考甲卷）
When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a
gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my
beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a
discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the
continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the
local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello.
It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the
stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few
minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe!
Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals
were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending
hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was
cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids
who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a
baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the
man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told
him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
9．What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A．He felt disappointed. B．He gave up his hobby.
C．He liked the weather there. D．He had disagreements with his family.
10．What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?
A．Be careful! B．Well done! C．No way! D．Don’t worry!
11．Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?
A．To join the skateboarding. B．To make new friends.
C．To learn more tricks. D．To relive his childhood days
12．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A．Children should learn a second language. B．Sport is necessary for children’s health.
C．Children need a sense of belonging D．Seeing the world is a must for children.
Passage 4、（2021·全国新高考I卷）
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.”
13．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.
14．Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage?
A．Boring. B．Well-paid.
C．Demanding. D．Dangerous.
15．What does Titterton need to practise?
A．Counting the pages. B．Recognizing the “nodding”.
C．Catching falling objects. D．Performing in his own style.
16．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.
Passage 5、（2020·山东·高考真题）
Jenifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal
of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of
Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor's degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at
a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer
attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra
money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and
brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college
to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves:
nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire program at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield
because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be
home in the evening to help with her kids. Jenifer received great support from her family as she
worked to earn her degree: Her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old
mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honors. Jennifer
sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important
events to study. ''Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and
studying for exams or papers,'' she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson
witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration
to her family-and that's pretty powerful.
17．What did Jennifer do after high school?
A．She helped her dad with his work. B．She ran the family farm on her own.

Passage 1、（2023届广西·北海市北海中学第一次模拟考试）
When I was a teenager, I knew nothing about mental health and I didn’t care about mental
health. Why would I? Like my dad always used to say, “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!”
But, unfortunately my mental health did “break”. Aged 17 I developed anorexia(神经厌食
症). I didn’t realise at the time. When I was 23, I was found severely clinically anorexic. I had
fast-tracked treatment at The Maudsley Hospital and went through 2.5 years of treatment. People
are always interested to know what helped me recover. Actually, it was simple: comedy.
I’m a professional talk show actor. Comedy, for me, began as a hobby and has unbelievably
progressed into a job. One of the things that initially held my attention about talk show is how it
plays with pain. Humour became a way of understanding things, then a way of explaining them.
Now it’s become a way of helping other people.
The combination of being told to speak out about mental health and writing comedies to play
jokes on myself, actually turned into the best type of treatment I could ever have had. Nothing has
ever really helped normalise a thought or feeling quite like a joke that makes people openly say,
“Me too!”
That’s why I’ve come up with a six-week comedy course aimed at people with mental health
difficulties. It builds lasting friendships, fights against loneliness and normalises conversations
around mental health; when audiences are laughing, they have to be listening, and when they’re
listening, they can learn. This unique opportunity enables comedy to reach people in a completely
different way to all the sob stories, shocking statistics and dry documentaries (纪录片) about
mental illness, inspiring with positivity rather than turning to negativity.
Talk show was a must to my recovery. So, I want to pay that forward and show other people
that your mental health doesn’t have to be “broke” before you can “fix it”.
1．Why is “anorexia” experience mentioned in the passage?
A．To provide exact examples about mental health.
B．To introduce a kind of treatment for mental health.
C．To stress the importance of caring about mental health.
D．To make a comparison between these two times of feelings.
2．Why does comedy attract the author most at the very beginning?A．It helps others. B．It spreads humour.
C．It deals with pain. D．It serves as a hobby.
3．What can we learn from the story?
A．The author is an active and ambitious person.
B．Comedy plays an important part in people’s life.
C．The author will pass on comedy to help others.
D．A six-week course is open to help the disabled.
4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．My Life Is Full of Talk Show
B．Mental Health Should Be Fixed Earlier
C．Humorous Lifestyle — a Key to Curing Ourselves
D．Talk Show — an Efficient Way to Fix Mental Health
Passage 2、（2022-2023学年度贵州·贵阳一中高考适应性月考卷）
What do fingerprints reveal about your health risks? How do your cells defend against
cancer?
Science has many of the answers — but not all.
When I was in my 40s, I got a tantalizing call from my father. He’d been browsing through
an old footlocker and discovered letters from a great-great-uncle, Charles Kelley. They dated to
1922, when Charles had just been diagnosed with type I diabetes. At the time, the diagnosis was a
death sentence.
Somehow this insurance man from Huron, South Dakota, made his way to the Mayo Clinic in
Minnesota, where doctors were testing a new drug. Charles was accepted as one of the guinea
pigs. He noted that each day’s injection cost him a small fortune, though luckily he could afford it.
By the time the University of Toronto team of doctors that had invented insulin won a Nohel
Prize, in 1923, Uncle Charles was back in Huron. The drug gave him 20 more years of life.
Needless to say, this family history was appealing to me.
When I was in my 20s, I returned home from college exhausted, and I went to see my doctor.
He called the next day to tell me that I had type I diabetes. It was a shock, totally out of the blue.
There was no known history of diabetes in my family.
For 20 years, I injected my insulin and took care of myself, but still I felt orphaned by my
incomprehensible disease. Charles’s story changed that instantly.
As our story makes clear, scientists still don’t have answers for everything - far from it. No
one will ever know what triggered the once-hidden vulnerability in my genes to surface. But I am
grateful for the mysteries they have solved — and for my uncle Charles’s belated message across
the generations that I wasn’t alone.
5．What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1?
A．To present a fact. B．To highlight a problem.C．To introduce a story. D．To evaluate an approach.
6．Which of the following best explains “out of the blue” underlined in paragraph 6?
A．Unexpected. B．Unpleasant.
C．Unavoidable. D．Unchangeable.
7．How did the author feel to his disease before hearing Charles’ story?
A．Delighted. B．Lonely.
C．Depressed. D．Thrilled.
8．Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Science Secret B．Charles’ Survival
C．Incurable Disease D．Family Secret
Passage 3、（甘肃·兰州市2022-2023外国语高级中学高三第二次考试）
People are often surprised by my fear of blood and needles. Working in a public health unit, I
probably have more daily interaction with syringes (注射器) than the average person. But the
truth is, having my blood drawn scares me.
When I was 9, I had an extremely high temperature. A nurse rudely stuck the needle into my
arm, causing a sharp pain. I avoided having blood taken from my body for the next years. A few
months before I turned 30, my doctor ordered a blood test as part of my physical exam. I
panicked. Sensing my fear, she gently suggested I see a psychiatrist (精神科医生). “Dr. M helped
my other patients with the same fear,” she said.
When Dr. M called to set up an appointment, I hesitated. Talking about personal problems to
a medically licensed stranger was uncommon in my family. “A psychiatrist?” Mother asked.
“He’ll just put you on drugs. Can’t you get over this yourself?” I almost listened. But I went to Dr.
M’s clinic finally. “Phobias (恐惧症) are pretty easy to treat,” he said. I wasn’t convinced of his
words. But despite my doubts, I was running out of options.
We started with basic exposure treatment. I watched videos of blood being drawn every day.
As I started to feel more at ease with needles, Dr. M suggested drawing blood. As he gently
pressed the needle into my flesh, I felt dizzy and breathed deeply. After a few minutes, I looked at
the needle. It wasn’t so bad. I didn’t pass out. “You’re doing well,” Dr. M said.
I still find it unpleasant getting blood drawn, but thanks to several months of treatment, I’m
less scared. I hate to admit it, but Dr. M is right — phobias can be treated. Sometimes, we have to
leave our comfort zone and face our fears. And this can lead to freedom in the end.
9．What caused the author’s phobia?
A．Her sensitivity to pains. B．Her anxiety about the blood test.
C．Her bad medical experience. D．Her regular contact with syringes.
10．What was the author’s mother’s attitude toward her appointment with Dr. M?

Passage 4、（山东省名校联盟2022-2023高三上学期诊断性测试）
Composer George Lam has always liked writing music inspired by places.
“There are all these places in Chinatown that are both hidden and meaningful,” he says,
stepping out of the way of passers-by while leading a tour of the neighborhood. “To uncover some
of those hidden things in a city walk that you might not ordinarily notice—I wondered, is there a
piece in that?”
It turns out that there’s not just a piece, but a whole app. Lam interviewed five Chinese
Americans from around the country, asking them about their experiences in Chinatown, plus
questions about their ancestors, their families and their memories. He then set the answers to
music, the instruments drawing attention to each person’s distinct pattern of speech.
Lam created the app Family Association. He calls the piece—the free app—Family
Association, after the important folk groups that line the streets of the neighborhood. Chinese
family associations have been a bridge between new immigrants and more established ones since
the late 1800s. In Chinatowns across the country, they’re a place to find resources or an apartment,
talk business or politics, maybe get a COVID shot. But they’re also a place to socialize with
people who share similar experiences.
Five of the neighborhood’s associations are anchors(锚点) for the app. Visitors use the build-
in map to see locations of the associations. As they walk closer to one of the family association
buildings, the focus is on one of the five oral history participants, telling their stories. These
stories aren’t about the family associations; instead they’re about the Chinese-American
experience and how they’ve felt supported by Chinatown.
But Lam thinks of the app itself as a kind of virtual family association, connecting these
Chinese-American voices with each other, even if they’ve never met. And he hopes to connect
with visitors, too—at the end of the soundwalk, users are given a chance to record their own
memories.
13．How did Lam deal with the interviewees’ answers?
A．By setting them apart. B．By organizing them in order.
C．By adding music to them. D．By spreading them nationwide.
14．What are the participants’ stories about?
A．When they came to Chinatowns. B．What they experienced as Chinese Americans.
C．How they’ve felt supported from China. D．Why they chose to stay in Chinatowns.15．What can we know from paragraph 4?
A．Chinatown plays a vital role in Chinese Americans.
B．Lam named his app after the street of the neighbourhood.
C．All Chinese Americans lived in Chinatowns when firstly reaching America.
D．Chinese family associations have been a bridge of immigrants since 1800.
16．What is Lam’s expectation?
A．To promote his new app. B．To connect with Chinese cities.
C．To record his own memories. D．To associate with visitors.
Passage 5、（安徽省十校2022-2023高三11月段考英语试题）
Rebecca Williams, 42, from Australia, has been doing dubbing (配音) work in Beijing for
many years. When she was very young, she would unconsciously imitate other peopled voices, not
to make fun of them, but more out of habit. “My voice has always been very changeable,
depending on who I’m talking to,” she said. She never expected this habit to land her a dubbing
job in China in the future.
At 18, Williams was an exchange student at the University of the Nations in Hawaii, the U.
S. Like most new adults, she was thinking about what to do with her life. Then, a group of
exchange students from China visited the school. “They were sharing everyday life in China. As
they were talking, something inside me got lit on fire,” she said. At that time, she realized her
future would lie in China.
After graduation, Williams came to China and got into dubbing by chance. At this point, she
has dubbed for nearly 100 English teaching films, TV shows and movies. Williams has cooperated
with the StarTimes. The StarTimes has a TV network in more than 30 African countries. Most of
the TV shows she has dubbed for are shown in African. “I think it’s a really great way to bridge
cultures, to allow people abroad to watch some of the plays that Chinese people watch, and have a
better understanding of Chinese life, but in a language they can understand,” Williams said.
Williams has lived in China for twenty years. She used to visit Australia once every two
years. Luckily, there’s no time difference between her hometown of Esperance and Beijing. And
thanks to advanced mobile networks, she can just pick up her phone and video chat with her
family whenever they feel like it. “That helps me a lot,” Williams said.
Williams has become more and more at home in China and she sees China as her second
hometown.
17．Why did Williams imitate other people’s voices?
A．It was her usual behavior. B．She expected to find a dubbing job in China.
C．She enjoyed showing her unique talent. D．She did it just to make fun of them.
18．How did Williams feel when hearing about everyday life in China?
A．Embarrassed. B．Bored. C．Excited. D．Confused.
19．What does Williams think about the dubbing job?A．It calls for teamwork. B．It’s helpful to cultural exchanges.
C．It’s more attractive to foreigners. D．It requires a set of excellent skills.
20．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A．Williams’ connection with her family. B．Williams’ plans for the next few years.
C．Williams’ best wishes to her hometown. D．Williams’ addiction to the mobile phone.
Passage 6、（河南省洛阳市六校2022-2023高三10月份联考试题）
When I visited the remote Swedish town of Alvdalen, I was immediately struck by the forest-
covered valley in which it is situated. I was set to meet the last speakers of Elfdalian. The
language is currently used only by about2,500 people, but it has preserved language features that
are to be found nowhere else in Scandinavia.
Because of its relative isolation, Elfidalian is unique among Nordic languages. While
speakers of Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are able to have simple conversations and understand
each other, it is not so with Eilfdalian. And it is this feature that makes Elfdalian completely
baffling to non-local people.
For centuries, it was unnecessary for the majority of the native Elfdalian-speaking population
to learn standard Swedish or other languages, as most trade and economic networks occurred
within local areas. Elfdalían remained an active language until the 20th century.
However, with increased mobility and the arrival of mass media, speakers of Elfdalian
switched to Swedish. At present, only half of the residents of Alvdalen speak it, and of the
youngest generation, only about 60 children under the age of 15 are fluent in it.
During my visit, I was lucky to be introduced to a group of language activists united under
the name Ulum Dalska. Attempts are being made by these local enthusiasts to revive the language.
After many years of action, Ulum Dalska has recently been successful in convincing the local
authorities to start up an Elfdalian-speaking group at the local preschool. This means that, for the
first time in history, Elfdalian has made its official entry into the Swedish schooling system.
On the whole, more and more people seem to be convinced of the preciousness of Elfdalian
and the need to preserve it for future generations. And in a globalizing world, the right attitude is
perhaps the most important step towards a full language recovery.
21．Why did the author go to the town of Alvdalen?
A．To discover a remote Swedish forest. B．To explore a unique forest language.
C．To call on a group of language activists. D．To pay a visit to a forest-covered valley.
22．Which of the following best explains “baffling” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．Out of date. B．Easy to learn.
C．Convenient to spread. D．Hard to understand.
23．What contributed to Elfdalian’s role as an active language before the 20th century?
A．The huge Elfdalian-speaking population.
B．The natives’ refusal to accept other languages.C．The self-sufficient economy among the locals.
D．The high economic status of Elfdalian-speaking areas.
24．What do we know about Ulum Dalska?
A．It helps language research. B．It aims to preserve Elfdalian.
C．It is financed by the government. D．It was founded by language experts.
Passage 7、（新疆伊宁联盟2022-2023高三第四次月考试题）
Xing Yifan and his parents were thrilled to learn that he had been admitted to Beihang
University with a score of 645 out of a possible 750 points in this (2021) year’s national college
entrance examination, or gaokao. It would take most high school graduates great effort to score
that high.
But the challenge for 18-year-old Xing was greater, as he was born with congenital muscular
dystrophy (营养不良), a group of disorders characterized by muscle weakness and problems with
the eyes and central nervous system.
After the Spring Festival in 2004, the Xing couple took Yifan to Beijing for treatment, and he
was finally diagnosed with CMD (先天性肌营养不良亚型) at Peking University First Hospital.
When relatives and friends heard the news,they advised the couple to have another baby, but
they were determined to pour all their love and care into their son.
“Yifan is an angel who came to our family,” the father said. “He might have broken wings,
but we will never give him up.”
The young man’s health continued to deteriorate (恶化). As a result of his condition，he is
unable to grow much muscle, so his skeleton (骨骼) suffers from a lack of support and protection.
“He has never walked independently and can only sit against a support,” said Xing Dacheng.
“And every 30minutes,he has to lie down to rest,even in the classroom.”
The condition has also deformed Xing Yifan’s spine and fingers, making it difficult for him
to write. “His teachers and principals from primary school to senior high school never refused
him. The opportunity of education gave us lots of help,” his father added.
Hou Suyun, head teacher at Xing Yifan’s primary school,carried him up and down stairs
during the six years he spent at the school.
Yang Weihong, head teacher at Xing Yifan’s junior high school, gave him extra care but
subjected him to the same strict academic requirements as his classmates. “I tried everything I
could to stimulate his desire to study, hoping to give him more confidence,” Yang said. “I also
hoped he would discover his own sense of worth.”
Yang’s methods worked. Xing Yifan got the highest score in his school for the senior high
school entrance examination in 2018.
25．Which word can take the place of the underlined word “thrilled” in Paragraph 1?
A．Excited. B．Relaxed. C．Moved. D．Astonished.
26．When was Xing Yifan born?A．In 2001. B．In 2002. C．In 2003. D．In 2004.
27．Why was the challenge for Xing Yifan greater?
A．His parents never gave him up. B．He’s suffered a lot from sickness since his birth.
C．His teachers helped him a lot. D．He studied harder than his classmates.
28．Which of the following best describes YangWeihong?
A．Head teacher at Xing’s primary school. B．Kind and careful, like Xing’s mother.
C．Responsible for Xing’s life at school. D．A strict teacher with wisdom and strategies.
Passage 8、（云南·昆明一中2022-2023高三第三次双基检测）
Everyone has a routine. From where they get their coffee, to which route they take to work,
to what side of the bed they sleep on. One thing that many find missing from their routine,
however, is a way to connect with friends outside of the normal conversations, or with colleagues
in a more meaningful way.
Our solution was to make time for a monthly book group. We would gather with friends, and
the authors would be in attendance: from Erica Jong to Michael Cunningham, Nick Flynn, Mary
Louise Parker, Ann Leary, Gary Shteyngardt, and Hanya Yanagihara. We rarely missed a meeting
because it offered something we weren’t getting in our daily routines — knowledge from someone
who could inspire a more meaningful conversation.
We all loved not only learning more about a topic, but digging into what drove these authors.
And so, almost three years ago, we sat down over pizza and created the foundation for Never Stop
Learning (NSL). The idea was to make sure that all members’ shared views could be received in a
convenient setting. The one caveat (附加说明): it all must happen in an hour. Who had time for
more?
Since that initial brainstorming lunch, we have started an incredible list of almost 300 experts
ranging from journalists just coming back from coverage in the disaster-stricken areas, to
scientists studying the latest CRISPR, to lecturers teaching the art of persuasion. These brilliant
speakers cover topics from global affairs to technology and arts. An hour with any of them and
you will be guaranteed to see the world a little differently.
29．What’s the goal of the monthly book group?
A．Organizing social activities. B．Sharing thoughts with strangers.
C．Communicating with authors. D．Connecting with people around.
30．What does the foundation expect to do?
A．Introduce inspiring books. B．Make every member heard.
C．Create a convenient setting. D．Organize monthly book groups.
31．What can be inferred about NSL from paragraph 4?
A．Its participants can adopt new viewpoints.
B．Its members are trained to be journalists.
C．Its scientific research has been sponsored.D．Its organizers mainly focus on global affairs.
32．Which might be a suitable title for the text?
A．Change Your Daily Routine B．Ways to Never Stop Learning
C．NSL:To See the World Differently D．Lifelong Learning:a Must for All
Passage 9、（辽宁省葫芦岛市协作校2022-2023高三第二次月考试题）
Macaire Kverett, 14, and her 9-year-old brother, Camden, discovered a unique way to
entertain themselves. When bored at home, they began to draw impressive, colorful and imaginary
chalk art in their neighborhood. After they completed each chalk art mural (壁画), Camden would
lie on the ground to become part of each adventure scene for photos. Their drawings soon grew
into massive murals that attracted crowds of neighborhood onlookers. Neighbors would
enthusiastically gather to view and take pictures of each new imaginary design.
Their imaginative art collaboration (合作) took their minds off world troubles and
transported them to an exciting, imaginary world. Hie great adventures were brought to life
through their chalk drawings, including Camden dancing in puddles, zip-lining and floating away
with a bunch of balloons. The incredible drawings also had Gamden traveling to the Great Wall of
China and Times Square.
Macaire enjoyed collaborating with her brother so much on the creative project that she
continued it for 100 days.
“My brother and I talk about ideas a lot during dinner. He likes to ‘travel’ so it’s fun to take
him to places,” Macaire explained.
Once they agree on a design, the process takes Macaire two to four hours for smaller
drawings and up to six hours for larger murals.
They received such a positive response from their creative artwork that they shared their
drawings on social media. Macaire then compiled the artwork into her first book, The World
from Our Driveway. They have since published a second book, Cum and Hopper Travel the
World.

Passage 10、（安徽省皖南八校2022-2023高三第一次联考）Twenty-five years ago on July 1, 1997, I woke up very late in my apartment in Singapore. I
jumped out of bed in a little bit of panic. I woke up my 8-year-old daughter Avy, who was not
exactly in a hurry to get out of bed. “We’re late for school,” I half-yelled at her. I finally got her
into the shower, dressed her hurriedly and made it to the nearby bus stop in time. Thankfully, the
school was only two stops away. We got in, rubbing our eyes as the sunlight streamed into the
bus.
Her mom had flown to Hong Kong several days earlier on assignment for a newspaper to
cover the handover of the city’s return to China.
I had taken off from work for a week to help look after our daughter. I would pick up my
daughter from school around midday. At the end of the day, I would watch the news on TV, which
would lead the entire week with the historic events happening in Hong Kong. I would wonder
where my wife was in the crowd that was gathered to witness the handover.
The year, 1997, was tense because the Asian financial crisis began. The Thai baht(泰铢) was
hit, followed by the South Korean won(韩元) and, like a contagious virus which spreads rapidly,
the financial system seized up. For that week though, that was the least of my worries. I just made
sure we did not have a repeat of July 1, when we were nearly late for school. My wife was very
busy during the handover, chasing down stories in Hong Kong as the British flag was lowered for
the last time.
I later spent a few years working in Hong Kong, but my enduring memory of the days
surrounding its return to China was the time I spent as a babysitter, although it is kind of hard to
call an 8-year-old a baby. The whole thing was a lifetime ago. But it is a good memory.
37．What was the author’s day like on July 1, 1997?
A．He and his daughter woke up in panic. B．He barely got his daughter on time.
C．It was his first babysitting day. D．His daughter went to school energetically.
38．Why did the author ask for a leave?
A．He wanted to witness the historic events.
B．He needed to take care of his daughter.
C．He drove his daughter to school and pick up her back around midday.
D．He accompanied his daughter to find her mother on TV in the evening.
39．Which of the following caused the nervousness in 1997?
A．The events happening in Hong Kong. B．The crowd gathered to see the handover.
C．The spread of the Asian financial crisis. D．The 8-year-old daughter I was babysitting.
40．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The historic events in 1997. B．Life of a journalist’s husband.
C．A working dad’s way of babysitting children. D．Bitter sweet memory with daughter alone.
