考点 32 阅读理解记叙文（重难题型）
记叙文类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局，通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。有些
文章是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些文章是按时间的顺序叙述的，有
顺叙、倒叙等。从总体上来讲，文章的难度通常不大，在阅读过程中，我们一直在某个线索的引导下，随
着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末，因此会感到比较轻松。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或
事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推
理判断能力。阅读此类文章应特别注意：（1）若是一般故事性文章，应读懂故事的发生、发展、高潮和
结局；（2）若是＂哲理故事＂，要理解故事所蕴含的哲理意义；（3）若是 ＂逸闻趣事＂，应体会对话
的风趣性，进而才能感受幽默的精髓。
二、命题方式
考向一 细节事实理解
一篇文章必然是由许多具体的细节、具体的内容构成的，所有这些信息以某种顺序（时间、空间、情
感变化等）排列起来，来进一步解释或阐释主题，体现文章的主旨大意。
细节理解题目主要考查学生对文章具体事实和细节的理解能力，属于表层理解题范畴，难度较小，但
在整个阅读理解题中所占比例最大，细节理解题多从文章的某个具体事实或细节出发来设计题目。
此类题通常根据文章具体内容来设问，也常使用下列方式来提问：
1.Which of the following statements is(not) true/correct?
2.Which of the following is not mentioned?
3.All of the following are true except...
4.According to the passage, when/where/why/how/how/what/which,etc...？
1.直接事实题
在解答这类问题时要求学生抓住题干文字信息，采用针对性方法进行阅读，因为这类题的答案在文章
中可以直接找到。2.间接事实题
解答此类题，需要结合上下文提供的语境和信息进行简单的概括和判断或者要进行简单的计算。
3. 数据推算。
If you register both the VIEW qualification course and the Forum at the same time, you will save_______ .
A. $100 B.$300 C.$350 D.$400
这类题目要求学生就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文中其他信息的关系做简单计算和推断。在做此类题时：
1.要抓住并正确理解与数据有关的信息含义。
2.弄清众多信息中那些属于有用信息，那些属于干扰信息。
3.不要孤立看待数字信息，而要抓住一些关键用语的意义。
考向二 主题理解或写作意图推断
一、主旨阅读理解题考查的内容
1.短文的标题（title,headline）；
2.短文或段落的主题（subject）；
3.中心思想(main idea)；
4.作者的写作目的(purpose)。
二、此类题的设问方式
1.What would be the best title for the text?
2.What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
3.What is the passage mainly about?
4.The main purpose of announcing the above events is__________.
考向三 推理推断
推理题要求考生根据文章提供的事实和线索进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到或者没有明说的事实
或者可能发生的事实。这类题旨在考查学生透过词语的字面意义去理解作者的言外之意或弦外之音的能力，
属于深层理解题。
此类题的设问常常包括infer, imply, suggest, conclude 等词，这类题的设问方式主要有：
1.We can infer from the Passage that__________.
2.What can be inferred from the Passage?
3.Which of the following can be inferred from the Passage?4.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.
5.The author suggests in this paragraph that__________.
6.The writer implies that__________.
7.It can be inferred that__________.
8.It can be concluded from the Passage that__________.
9.On the whole, we can conclude that__________.
10.From the text we can conclude that__________.
11.After reading the Passage we may conclude that__________.
12.What conclusion can be drawn from the Passage?
13.The author is inclined to think that__________.
14.When the writer talks about, what he really means is that__________.
15.What’s the writer’s attitude/feeling towards...?
16.In the writer’s opinion,...
考向四 词义、句义猜测。
词义猜测阅读理解题考查对文中关键词语的理解。在阅读理解题中，所考查的词或短语的意义往往不
停留在字面上，要根据语境来判断。
此类题的设问方式主要有
1.The word ＂...＂in Line...means/can be replaced by...
2.As used in the passage, the phrase ＂...＂suggests...
3.From the passage, we can infer that the word/phrase ＂...＂ is/referred to...
[来源:学科网]
4.The word ＂...＂ is closest in meaning to...
猜词是应用英语的重要能力，也是高考中常用的题型。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大
的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会＂顺藤摸瓜＂，通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、
因果、常识、上下文等线索确定词义。
1.定义法。如：
Annealing is a way of making metal softer by heating it and then letting it cool very slowly.
句子给予annealing 以明确的定义，即 ＂退火＂。
It will be very hard but also very brittle—that is,it will break easily.
从后面的解释中我们可以了解到brittle是＂脆＂的意思。
The herdsman, who looks after sheep, earns about 650 yuan a year.
定语从句中 looks after sheep 就表明了 herdsman 的词义为＂牧人＂。2.同位法。如：
They traveled a long way and at last got to a castle,a large building in old times.
同位语部分a large building in old times 给出了 castle 的确切词义，即＂城堡＂。
We are on the night shift—from midnight to 8 A. m.—this week.
两个破折号之间的短语很清楚地表明night shift 是＂夜班＂的意思。
3.对比法。如：
She is usually prompt for all her class,but today she arrived in the middle of her first class.
but一词表转折，因此but 前后的意思正相反。后半句的意思是＂她今天第一节上了一半才来＂，因此反
向推理，可得出她平时一向＂准时＂的结论。
4.构词法(前缀、后缀、复合、派生等)。如：
Perhaps, we can see some possibilities for next fifty years.But the next hundred?
possibility 是 possible的同根名词，据此可以判断定possibility 意思是＂可能性＂。
5.因果法。如：
The lack of movement caused the muscles to weaken. Sometimes the weakness was permanent. So the player
could never play the sport again.
从后面的结果＂永远不能再运动＂中，可以推测 permanent 的意思为＂永远的，永久＂。
【解题技巧】
高考阅读理解体裁纷繁多样，但每套试卷通常包含一到两篇记叙文。在所有的阅读体裁中，记叙文的
难度相对是比较低的。如果掌握了阅读的技巧，多多实践，阅读能力就有可能大大提高。
要熟练掌握记叙文的阅读技巧，了解记叙文的写作特点与命题特点也是有必要的。
一、记叙文写作特点
记叙文是一种记载和叙述事件由来，描绘事物和人物情景状态、过程及发展的文体。消息、通讯、传
记、游记、小说、童话、寓言以及记叙性的散文等文体，都属于记叙文的范畴。
就写作顺序而言，记叙文要么是按时间顺序，要么是按事件的重要性的顺序来展开。不管是哪种
叙述方法，最后经常会有一两句话抒发作者的情绪与感悟，这是记叙文的精华所在，也是阅读的难点所在，
可谓＂一篇之妙，在于落句＂。
二、记叙文命题特点
从命题形式上看，常见的有细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意、推理判断、作者意图等题型。除了推论
或词义辨识题，记叙文命题的顺序一般都会按照文章的脉络和故事发展的顺序层层推进，否则就会觉得别
扭，逻辑不通。同时，记叙文需要事件的发展过程作支撑，一半以上的题目都会用来检测考生对故事的了解，因此，我们必须弄明白整件事情的发展脉络。而其余像主旨大意、作者意图之类的题目，则取决于文
章的落句，集中考查对作者所发的感触的理解。总之，细节题是记叙文命题的主流题型。而寓意之类的题
则是高一层次的题，有一定的难度和区分度，它们是拉开距离的题，答对了这些题，你才有可能成功地跻
身高分之列。综上所述，记叙文的应对策略即：不漏细节，奠定基础；把准寓意，方能成功。
三、记叙文答题技巧
一把钥匙开一把锁。要解答好记叙文阅读理解题，就应该有一套针对性强的方法和技巧。下面是我们
在阅读教学中积累下来的一点心得体会，希望能对大家有所帮助。
No.1 顺藤摸瓜
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的 5W（what, who, when, where, why）要素。
因此我们作答细节题的时候，就没有那么复杂，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。
No.2 左顾右盼
在做题过程中，我们大都不能在文中找到与题干一字不差的词语或句子。这时我们需要认真研究问题，
抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或
右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。
No.3 刨根问底
如前所述，主旨大意题或推理判断、作者意图题等实际上是同一类型的问题，或者说是可用同种方法
解答的题型。在解答此类题目的时候，不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；在四
个可选项中，一个一个地去证实，去排除。特别是解答推论或暗指类的题目，比如＂What can be inferred
from …?＂或是What does the author imply in…?＂之类的题目，文中所陈述的往往不是答案。我们要在文前
文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。
No.4 拨云见日
每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。而这些词汇往往是你
素昧平生的，或者和你有点头之交，在文中却另有新意的，总之，猜的是那些在高考词汇表要求之外的词
汇。小小的一个词，一个短语，考核的不是你的语法的熟练程度，也不是你的记忆力，而是你对文章通篇
或者一个段落的整体把握和变通能力。
这时，你不仅需要＂左顾右盼＂，还需要在几句话，一个段落，乃至整篇文章的字里行间中快速
搜寻，看看前面、后面都发生了些什么；反复琢磨人物、事物，或者人物与事物之间的内在联系，才可能
在最后拨开团团迷雾，从四个选项中选出正确答案。Passage 1
（2022·山东·济南市历城第二中学模拟预测）Wang Jiapeng, 41, is an inspirational figure who keeps
encouraging people to be the architect of their own life.
In 1993, as a result of an air crash, he was paralyzed from the waist down and he had to undergo five years of
rehabilitation(康复). But Wang never ceased exploring the possibilities of his body.
The winter of 1998 saw the 17-year-old regain something that he thought he had lost forever——the
exhilaration of skiing on a snow-covered slope, about two kilometers long with a drop of hundreds of meters.
After two weeks of intense training, in March 1999, Wang participated in the Ridderrennet, or the Knight’s
Race ——an annual cross-country ski race for the visually and physically challenged——held in Norway. He won
two gold medals.
Dreaming of going back to school, Wang taught himself at the rehabilitation center, despite his demanding
physical schedule. To improve his memory, which was also damaged by a brain injury caused by the accident, he
recited English words repeatedly until he could remember them by heart. With extraordinary perseverance and solid
faith in himself, he passed the exam and went to Norway to attend UWC Red Cross Nordic, a life-changing
experience as he put it, before completing his undergraduate and postgraduate studies in economics at the
University of Oslo.
There, he developed another dream, that of setting up a UWC school on the Chinese mainland to introduce an
inclusive, intercultural learning environment and promote mutual understanding between youngsters from various
cultures.
So far, the school has welcomed more than 1,700 students and graduates from 124 countries and regions. It
had provided a total scholarship of 280 million yuan ($44 million) for around 700 students by 2021, including those
with physical challenges or from disadvantaged backgrounds.
“Love and education are two powerful forces in this world. To me, they can remove the physical and
psychological barriers in life,” Wang says.

Passage 2
（2022·上海宝山·二模）
Have you ever tried an escape room? I first experienced one in Montana, U.S.A．with my wife, Pauline. We
went to one to celebrate her father’s birthday. Her entire family loves games and puzzles, so trying an escape room
was a perfect activity for us. The room’s theme was “the missing scientist.” We played the role of investigating
detectives. We entered the room and discovered we were “trapped.” We then had only 60 minutes to escape before
the room “exploded.”
We had to search every corner of the room for clues in order to get out. As we did, we solved simple
calculations, unscrambled codes and found keys to secret boxes. Getting one clue involved running balls through a
maze. That took some skill! Together we solved every puzzle and escaped with just a few minutes to spare.
Pauline and I now live in Taipei. We tried our first escape room here over a year ago. It was such an amazing
experience that we did two more almost immediately afterward. We have become completely hooked on Taipei’s
escape rooms.
Escape rooms in Taipei are well designed. Inside one, you feel as if you had just stepped into a story. It could
be a thriller, a legend or something from sci-fi. Tricks and technology complete the illusion created by the room’s
theme. And there’s always a variety of engaging puzzles.
Different companies offer a number of rooms to try. Some are suitable for just a few friends while others are
big and require a large group of people to solve. But be warned: Some escape rooms are extraordinary because they
are intense. We learned that the hard way when we invited a large group of friends to one. Some of them had nevertried an escape room before. They were a little nervous, but we assured them that escape rooms are relaxing and
fun. “They aren’t scary or too high pressure,” we said. Well, we were wrong. It turns out some are a bit over the
top, but we enjoyed that, too! There is nothing like the feeling of solving problems as a team.
5．What was the purpose of the writer and his wife entering the room in Montana for the first time?
A．To take part in an activity. B．To investigate a case of a missing scientist.
C．To prove their ability. D．To celebrate his father-in-law’s birthday.
6．Specifically, how many times had the writer and his wife experienced escape rooms mentioned in the passage?
A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.
7．What does the word “They” in bold in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．The writer’s friends. B．The companies.
C．Escape rooms. D．The problems.
【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了作者玩密室逃脱的一些经历，对此很痴迷，并从中感受
到了团队一起来解决问题的乐趣。
5．【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Have you ever tried an escape room? I first experienced one in Montana,
U.S.A. with my wife, Pauline. We went to one to celebrate her father’s birthday.(你玩过密室逃脱游戏吗?我第一
次玩密室逃脱是和我的老婆波琳在美国蒙大拿州玩的。我们去玩是为了庆祝她父亲的生日。)”可知，作者
和他老婆去玩密室逃脱就是为庆祝他岳父的生日。故选D项。
6．【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的“I first experienced one in Montana, U.S.A. with my wife, Pauline.(我第
一次玩密室逃脱是和我的老婆波琳在美国蒙大拿州玩的。)”以及第三段的“Pauline and I now live in Taipei.
We tried our first escape room here over a year ago. It was such an amazing experience that we did two more
almost immediately afterward.(波琳和我现在生活在台北。一年前我们在这里玩了我们的第一次密室逃脱游
戏。这是一次如此奇妙的经历以至于之后我们又玩了两次。)”可知，作者在美国玩了1次，然后在台北玩
了3次，因此总共玩了4次。故选D。
7．【答案】C
【解析】词句猜测题。根据最后一段的“Some of them had never tried an escape room before. They were a
little nervous, but we assured them that escape rooms are relaxing and fun.(他们当中有一些从来没有玩过密室逃
脱。他们有点紧张，但是我们向他们保证密室脱逃让人放松且有趣。)”可知，我的一些朋友害怕玩密室逃
脱，因此作者试图说服他们放宽心去玩，密室逃脱一点都不可怕。所以“They”指的是“密室逃脱”。故选C项。
Passage 3
（2022·上海静安·二模）Before the break of dawn, Simon was already standing on the shore watching the
sea intensely for any signs of a coming storm. Despite learning from the weather forecast the likelihood of a violent
storm, he didn’t change his mind about starting his weekly fishing trip. After checking for the third time that he had
brought with him what he needed, Simon got onto his boat and sailed into the vast blue sea. Before long, he was
anchoring(固定)his boat in the middle of the sea. Satisfied with the spot, he cast his net, hoping for a good catch.
Simon then relaxed on the deck and watched the sun rising slowly above the horizon. “One can never trust the
weather station,” he said, but he had said it too soon. At that moment, there was a sudden strike of lightning,
followed by a shout of thunder. The entire sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Wave after wave rolled up,
hitting his boat and sending it rocking violently sideways. A sense of hopelessness drowned him but when images
of his family flashed across his mind, he knew what he had to do. In double-quick time, he cut off the fishing lines
and dumped his fishing equipment into the sea. Eventually, the storm eased and the waves died down.
To make matters worse, the boat engine died. As he was many kilometres offshore, the only likely rescue was
to be spotted by a boat. But who would be out at sea in such horrible weather except him? That made Simon regret
his earlier decision again.
Exhausted, Simon soon drifted off to sleep. When he awoke, the sun had already risen. Simon had lost track of
time and location. Sighing, he stood on the deck, staring out hopefully. Then he spotted it. He dived into the water
and swam towards the island a few metres ahead of him. When Simon reached land, he was too weak to stand on
his legs. Fortunately, a kind-hearted man helped him up and contacted his family. Though Simon emerged from the
nightmare unhurt, the fateful day remained forever in his mind. Neglecting the weather forecast, he paid a heavy
price. He then learnt that everyone should respect science and be more mindful of his decision.
8．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Not informed of the weather forecast, Simon went fishing as planned.
B．Simon lost his fishing equipment because it was blown off by the wind.
C．Love for his family made him take action trying to save himself.
D．Though he was finally saved, he was hurt badly.
9．What did he see after he woke up?
A．Another boat ready to drag his boat. B．A rescue team sent by his family.
C．A new boat engine to be equipped on his boat. D．An island not far from his boat.10．What mainly caused him to meet with such a horrible event?
A．He was too confident of his ability to deal with the rescue team.
B．He ignored storm forecast and went fishing anyway.
C．His fishing equipment was too heavy for his boat.
D．He positioned his boat in a wrong location in the sea.
11．What is the passage mainly about?
A．A smooth fishing trip a fisherman used to have.
B．A terrible accident a fisherman experienced and how he survived.
C．The hardships a man has to handle when going fishing.
D．Ways to seek help in dangerous situations in life.

1.【2022年全国甲卷C篇】
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 some prehistoric 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.
28. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
29. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
30. 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.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了71岁的Ginni Balinton从小就对旅行有着深深的热爱，
渴望探险，不再跳舞和孩子们成家立业之后，她开始周游世界，并在2008年开始了前往南极洲的旅程。
28.【答案】A
【解析】词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词前文“Throughout her career(职业) as a professional dancer, she
toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. (在她的职业舞蹈演员生涯中，她曾在英国巡演，但一
直渴望进一步探索)”和“When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest (当她不再跳舞，
她的儿子们最终独立生活)”可知，Ginni在退休和儿子们成家立业之后，她决定尝试有挑战性的事情。由
此推知，划线词组take the plunge与try challenging things“尝试有挑战性的事情”意思接近。故选A。
29.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap
deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tiera del Fuego. (正是在智利，她发现自己可以在最后一
刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知，是折扣的票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故
选C。
30.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans,
was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. (意识到这是一块宝贵的土地，应该受到人类的尊重，这
是Ginni最深刻的感受之一)”可知，旅行结束后，Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。
31.【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Ginni Balinton去南极旅行的经历，再根据第一段
“These gentle lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
(这些温柔可爱的看门人欢迎了她，并开始了一次Ginni永远不会忘记的旅行)”和倒数第二段Ginni
Balinton对南极之旅的评价可知，文章主要介绍了Ginni Balinton去南极洲之旅让她非常难忘。由此可知，
An unforgettable experience. (一次难忘的经历)能够概括文章主旨。故选B。
2.【2022年6月全国甲卷 D篇】
Sometime in the early 1960s, a significant thing happened in Sydney, Australia. The city discovered its harbor.
Then, one after another, Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there — broad parks, superbbeaches, and a culturally diverse population. But it is the harbor that makes the city.
Andrew Reynolds, a cheerful fellow in his early 30s, pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living. I spent the whole
morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor. After our third run Andrew shut down the engine, and we went
our separate ways — he for a lunch break, I to explore the city.
“I’ll miss these old boats,” he said as we parted.
“How do you mean?” I asked.
“Oh, they’re replacing them with catamarans. Catamarans are faster, but they’re not so elegant, and they’re not
fun to pilot. But that’s progress, I guess.”
Everywhere in Sydney these days, change and progress are the watchwords (口号), and traditions are
increasingly rare. Shirley Fitzgerald, the city’s official historian, told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s,
Sydney swept aside much of its past, including many of its finest buildings. “Sydney is confused about itself,” she
said. “We can’t seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one. It’s a conflict that
we aren’t getting any better at resolving (解决).”
On the other hand, being young and old at the same time has its attractions. I considered this when I met a
thoughtful young businessman named Anthony. “Many people say that we lack culture in this country,” he told me.
“What people forget is that the Italians, when they came to Australia, brought 2000 years of their culture, the
Greeks some 3000 years, and the Chinese more still. We’ve got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a
drive and dynamism of a young country. It’s a pretty hard combination to beat.”
He is right, but I can’t help wishing they would keep those old ferries.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Sydney’s striking architecture. B. The cultural diversity of Sydney.
C. The key to Sydney’s development. D. Sydney’s tourist attractions in the 1960s.
33. What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds?
A. He goes to work by boat. B. He looks forward to a new life.
C. He pilots catamarans well. D. He is attached to the old ferries.
34. What does Shirley Fitzgerald think of Sydney?
A. It is losing its traditions. B. It should speed up its progress.
C. It should expand its population. D. It is becoming more international.
35. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. A city can be young and old at the same time.
B. A city built on ancient cultures is more dynamic.C. Modernity is usually achieved at the cost of elegance.
D. Compromise should be made between the local and the foreign.

For nearly a decade now,Merebeth has been a self-employed pet transport specialist. Her pet transport job wasborn of the financial crisis（危机）in the late 2000s．The downturn hit the real estate（房地产）firm where she
had worked for ten years as an office manager.The firm went broke and left her looking for a new job.One
day,while driving near her home,she saw a dog wandering on the road, clearly lost. She took it home,and her sister
in Denver agreed to take it. This was a loving home for sure,but 1,600 miles away.It didn’t take long for Merebeth
to decide to drive the dog there herself. It was her first road trip to her new job.
Merebeth's pet delivery service satisfies her wanderlust . It has taken her to every state in the US except
Montana,Washington and Oregon,she says proudly.If she wants to visit a new place, she will simply find a pet with
transport needs there.She travels in all weathers.She has driven through 55 mph winds in Wyoming , heavy
flooding and storms in Alabama and total whiteout conditions in Kansas.

school she left home to live on Catalina Island off the Californian coast,away from her parents,where she enjoyed a
life of sailing and off-road biking.
It turns out that pet transporting pays quite well at about $30,000 per year before tax.She doesn't work in
summer, as it would be unpleasantly hot for the animals in the car, even with air conditioning.As autumn comes,she
gets restless the same old wanderlust returning. It's a call she must handle alone,though.Merebeth says,"When I'm
on the road, I'm just in my own world. I've always been independent-spirited and I just feel strongly that I must help
animals."

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.
4. What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
5. Why did the kid poke the storybook?
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
6. What does the author think of himself?
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
7. What can we learn about the author as a journalist?
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B

5.【2022新高考1卷B】
Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste. The arugula (芝麻菜)was to make a nice green
salad, rounding out a roast chicken dinner. But I ended up working late. Then friends called with a dinner invitation.
I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had unthinkingly bought
way too much; I could have made six salads with what I threw out.
In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry, “food waste goes against the moral grain,” as
Elizabeth Royte writes in this month’s cover story. It’s jaw-dropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away
— from “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into
restaurant garbage cans.
Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other resources used to grow it. That makes food
waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it would be the third largest
producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”
If that’s hard to understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back of my refrigerator. Mike Curtin
sees my arugula story all the time — but for him, it's more like 12 bones of donated strawberries nearing their last
days. Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington, D.C., which recovers food and turns it into healthy
meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations and collecting blemished (有
瑕疵的) produce that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries? Volunteers will wash, cut, and
freeze or dry them for use in meals down the road.
Such methods seem obvious, yet so often we just don’t think. “Everyone can play a part in reducing waste,whether by not purchasing more food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not
include the side dish you won’t eat,” Curtin says.
24. What does the author want to show by telling the arugula story?
A. We pay little attention to food waste. B. We waste food unintentionally at times.
C. We waste more vegetables than meat. D. We have good reasons for wasting food.
25. What is a consequence of food waste according to the test?
A. Moral decline. B. Environmental harm.
C. Energy shortage. D. Worldwide starvation.
26. What does Curtin’s company do?
A. It produces kitchen equipment. B. It turns rotten arugula into clean fuel.
C. It helps local farmers grow fruits. D. It makes meals out of unwanted food.
27. What does Curtin suggest people do?
A. Buy only what is needed. B. Reduce food consumption.
C. Go shopping once a week. D. Eat in restaurants less often.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. D 27. A

【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了我们日常生活中的食物浪费现象以及华盛顿DC中央厨房的
首席执行官科廷为解决食物浪费而采取的努力。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Like most of us, I try to be mindful of food that goes to waste.(像我们大多数人
一样，我努力关注那些被浪费的食物)”及“But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even worse, I had
unthinkingly bought way too much; could have made six salads with what I threw out.(但随着时间的推移，芝麻
菜变坏了。更糟糕的是，我不假思索地买了太多东西；我扔掉的东西可以做六份沙拉)”可推知，作者想通
过讲述芝麻菜的故事来表明我们有时会无意间浪费食物。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Producing food that no one eats wastes the water, fuel, and other, resources used to
grow it. That makes food waste an environmental problem. In fact, Royte writes, “if food waste were a country, it
would be the third largest producer of greenhouse gases in the world.”(生产没人吃的食物会浪费用于种植食物的
水、燃料和其他资源。这使得食物浪费成为一个环境问题。事实上，罗伊特写道，“如果食物浪费是一个
国家，它将是世界上第三大温室气体排放国。”)”可知，根据文中的说法，浪费食物的一个后果是对环境
的危害。故选B。【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Curtin is CEO of DC Central Kitchen in Washington. D.C., which recovers
food and turns it into healthy meals. Last year it recovered more than 807,500 pounds of food by taking donations
and collecting blemished (有瑕疵的) produce, that otherwise would have rotted in fields. And the strawberries?

收回了超过807500磅的食物，否则这些农产品就会在地里腐烂。草莓呢？志愿者们将清洗、切割、冷冻或
干燥它们，以便在路上的餐食中使用)”可知，科廷的公司用人们不想要的食物重新制作食物。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的““Everyone can play a part in reducing waste, whether by not purchasing more
food than necessary in your weekly shopping or by asking restaurants to not include the side dish you won’t eat,”
Curtin says.(“每个人都可以在减少浪费方面发挥作用，无论是在每周的购物中不购买不必要的食物，
还是要求餐馆不包括你不吃的配菜，”科廷说)”可知，科廷建议人们只买需要的东西来避免浪费食物。
故选A。
【2021年高考真题】
1.【2021新高考1卷 B篇】
By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time though he goes 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."
1.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.
2.Which of the following best describes Titterton's job on stage?
A.Boring. B.Well-paid. C.Demanding. D.Dangerous.
3.What does Titterton need to practise?
A.Counting the pages.
B.Recognizing the "nodding".
C.Catching falling objects.
D.Performing in his own style.
4. Why is Ms Raspopova's husband "the worst 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.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了律师Robert Titterton在空闲时间担任乐谱翻页者，配合钢琴

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（橫杆）, 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."
1.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.2.What do the underlined words "Safe! Safe! Safe!" probably mean?
A.Be careful! B.Well done! C.No way! D.Don't worry.
3.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.

D.To relieve his childhood days.
4.What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

3.【2021.6 浙江卷】
Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one particular shining star in his life—his
uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle earned inspired Nielsen to make
a career（职业）in acting. Even though he often felt he would be discovered to be a no-talent, he moved
forward, gaining a scholarship to the Neighborhood Playhouse and making his first television appearance afew years later in 1948. However, becoming a full-time, successful actor would still be an uphill battle for
another eight yeas until he landed a number of film roles that finally got him noticed.
But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he should be doing
comedy but his good looks and distinguished voice kept him busy in dramatic roles. It wasn't until 1980—
32 years into his career—that he landed the role it would seem he was made for in Airplane! That movie
led him into the second half of his career where his comedic presence alone could make a movie a financial
success even when movie reviewers would not rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel content in his career? Yes and no. He was thrilled to be doing the comedy that
he always felt he should do, but even during his last few year he always had a sense of curiosity, wondering
what new role or challenge might be just around the corner. He never stopped working, never retired.
Leslie Nielsen's devotion to acting is wonderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with
little more than plain old hard work and determination. He showed us that even a single desire, never given
up on, can make for a remarkable life.
1.Why did Nielsen want to be an actor?
A.He enjoyed watching movies.
B.He was eager to earn money.
C.He wanted to be like his uncle.
D.He felt he was good at acting.
2.What do we know about Nelsen in the second half of his career?
A.He directed some high quality movies.
B.He avoided taking on new challenges.
C.He focused on playing dramatic roles.
D.He became a successful comedy actor.
3.What does Nielsen's career story tell us?
A.Art is long, life is short.
B.He who laughs last laughs longest.
C.It's never too late to learn.
D.Where there's a will there's a way.
【文章大意】本文记叙文。文章介绍了著名影视明星Nielsen的成名之路。1.C【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段前两句 "Leslie Nielsen's childhood was a difficult one, but he had one
particular shining star in his life—his uncle, who was a well-known actor. The admiration and respect his uncle

other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did
everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had
several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go
to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It
was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books .
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library
lives on form generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when
they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that
helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think
all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share
library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
1. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child?A. Cooperative. B. Uneasy. C. Inseparable. D. Casual.
2. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Pleasure from working in the library.

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.

（2020·江苏卷，D）
I was in the middle of the Amazon(亚马逊) with my wife, who was there as a medical researcher. We flew on
a small plane to a faraway village. We did not speak the local language, did not know the customs, and more often
than not, did not entirely recognize the food. We could not have felt more foreign.
We were raised on books and computers, highways and cell phones, but now we were living in a village
without running water or electricity It was easy for us to go to sleep at the end of the day feeling a little
misunderstood.
Then one perfect Amazonian evening, with monkeys calling from beyond the village green, we played soccer.
I am not good at soccer, but that evening it was wonderful. Everyone knew the rules. We all spoke the same
language of passes and shots. We understood one another perfectly. As darkness came over the field and the match
ended, the goal keeper, Juan, walked over to me and said in a matter-of-fact way, “In your home, do you have a
moon too?” I was surprised.
After I explained to Juan that yes, we did have a moon and yes, it was very similar to his, I felt a sort of
awe(敬畏) at the possibilities that existed in his world. In Juan’s world, each village could have its own moon. In
Juan’s world. the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. Anything was possible.
In our society, we know that Earth has only one moon. We have looked at our planet from every angle and
found all of the wildest things left to find. I can, from my computer at home, pull up satellite images of Juan’s
village. There are no more continents and no more moons to search for, little left to discover. At least it seems that
way.
Yet, as I thought about Juan’s question, I was not sure how much more we could really rule out. I am, in part,
an ant biologist, so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of
insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant(无知的) are we? The question of what we know and
do not know constantly bothered me.I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new monkey, new spider…, and on and on they
appear. My drawer quickly filled. I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system
discovered with dozens of nameless species, four hundred species of bacteria found in the human stomach. The
second drawer began to fill and as it did I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there, not just
species, but life that depends on things thought to be useless, life even without DNA. I started a third drawer for
these big discoveries. It fills more slowly, but all the same, it fills.
In looking into the stories of biological discovery, I also began to find something else, a collection of
scientists, usually brilliant occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the
same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them, and they focus on them to the point of
exhaustion(穷尽), and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery, I found the
stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.
We are repeatedly willing to imagine we have found most of what is left to discover. We used to think that
insects were the smallest organisms(生物), and that nothing lived deeper than six hundred meters. Yet, when
something new turns up, more often than not, we do not even know its name.
1. How did the author feel on his arrival in the Amazon?

2. What made that Amazonian evening wonderful?
A. He learned more about the local language.
B. They had a nice conversation with each other.
C. They understood each other while playing.

B. Juan knew so little about the world.
C. The author didn’t know how to answer.
D. The author didn’t think Juan was sincere.
4. What was the author’s initial purpose of collecting newspaper articles?

（2020·天津卷，B）
“They tell me that you’d like to make a statue(塑像) of me-is that correct, Miss Vinnie Ream?”
The deep, gentle voice helped calm the nervous girl. Asking a favor of the President of the United States was
no casual matter, especially for a seventeen-year-old girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wouldn’t have duo ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills,
says I am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “
President Lincoln smiled. “Painters, sculptors-they’ve all tried to make the best of this ordinary face, but I’m
afraid there’s not much hope. What did you have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?”
Before Vinnie could say yes, the President hurried on, a shade of apology in his voice.
“Of course-I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be much too big a project for a young woman
your size. “
Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she looked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small does not mean weak,
sir,” she defended herself. “I was born in the country of Wisconsin. I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water.
Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure would not exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend to do!”
The President’s eyes, brightened at her show of spirit. “Sorry, madam, I have underestimated you as I didn’t
know your background.”
But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers, in thought. “Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to
let you do it, but as you know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a
sculpture now? I hardly have a minute to myself.”
Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft but
confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for three hoursevery afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”
The President seemed to consider her idea seriously. He got up and shook Vinnie’s hand warmly, “I’ve heard
that you are a talented young woman, and I have found you charming and intelligent as well. I cannot make my
decision immediately, but you will hear from me soon.”
The very next day, Vinnie received an invitation from the President.
1. What gave Vinnie confidence to make her request of President Lincoln?
A. Her aggressive personality. B. Mr. Mills’s encouraging remark.
C. President Lincoln’s gentle voice. D. Her interest in a challenging job.
2. How did President Lincoln first respond to Vinnie’s request?
A. Pleased. B. Thrilled. C. Regretful. D. Doubtful.
3. Vinnie confirmed her ability to make a full-length statue by highlighting ______.

D. the skill she picked up in Wisconsin
4. Vinnie wanted to choose the corner near the windows to ______.
A. achieve effects of natural lighting
B. keep all her tools within easy reach
C. observe the President at a right angle
D. avoid disturbing the president’s work
5. What message does the story convey?

请求，一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑，在Vinnie的不断努力争取后，最终第二天Vinnie收到了林肯总统的
邀请。
1. B【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I wouldn’t have dared to ask you, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I
am ready. I plan to make it in an admirable manner. “可知，我本来不敢问你，但我的老师Mills先生说我

2. D【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Of course- I shouldn’t have asked. A full-length pose would be
much too big a project for a young woman your size.”可知，当然-我不应该问的。对于你这种身材的年
轻女性来说，全身雕像太大了。由此可推知，林肯总统首先对Vinnie的请求表示怀疑。故选D。
3. C【解析】细节理解题。根据第六段中的“I’ve driven teams of horses and carried water. Making a full-
length clay figure would not exhaust my strength-and this is what I intend to do!”可知，我赶过马队，提过
水。做一个全身雕像不会耗尽我的力量-我还正想这样呢！此可知，Vinnie通过强调她以前所做的繁
重劳动，证实了她有能力制作一个全身雕像。故选C。
4. D【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第四段中的“Miss Ream,” he sighed, “I’d like to let you do it, but as you
know, we are in the middle of a war. How could I possibly take the time to pose for a sculpture now? I hardly
have a minute to myself. “可知，总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做雕像。根据倒数第三段中
的“Vinnie glanced around and noted the size of his office. “I work quickly,” she said. Her voice was soft
but confident as she pointed to the corner near the windows. “If I were to bring my clay here and work for
three hours every afternoon, I could complete most of the project while you are at your desk.”可知，Vinnie
环顾四周，注意到了他办公室的大小。“我干得很快，”她说。她指着靠近窗户的那个角落，声音
柔和而自信。“如果我把我的粘土带到这里来，每天下午工作三个小时，我就可以在你办公的时候
完成大部分的项目。”由此可推知，上文中总统提到自己没有时间摆姿势来让Vinnie做雕像，于是
Vinnie想选择靠近窗户的角落，是为了避免干扰总统的工作。故选D。

一开始林肯总统对此表示怀疑，在Vinnie的不断努力争取后，最终第二天Vinnie收到了林肯总统的
邀请。由此可推知，这个故事表达了意志坚强的人能达到目标的思想。故选A。
【2020·全国卷II，C】
When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur
probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the
market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have(showcased)nutria fur made into clothes in different
styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast
wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in
the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there
can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi,
an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the
cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince
people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year,
so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free
option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at
least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that
using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria
fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
28. What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A. To promote guilt-free fur.
B. To expand the fashion market.
C. To introduce a new brand.
D. To celebrate a winter holiday.
29. Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A. Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B. Nutria are an endangered species.
C. Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D. Nutria are illegally hunted.
30. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Boomed. B. Became mature. C. Remained stable. D. Crashed.
31. What can we infer abouf wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A. It’s formal. B. It’s risky. C. It’s harmful. D. It’s traditional.

国新奥尔良和布鲁克林举办了不同寻常的时装秀，时装秀上展出海狸鼠皮制成的不同风格的衣服，项目总
监Cree McCree说：“除非了解海狸鼠正每年破坏大片湿地，否则谈论无罪感皮衣是很疯狂的事情”，可
以判断出由于海狸鼠对生态造成了巨大的破坏，这场海狸鼠皮衣时装秀销售的是无罪恶感皮衣。故选A。
29. 【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5
a tail.得知，科学家们如此担心以至于他们决定按照一条海狸鼠尾巴付给猎人们5美元，可以推断出科学家
们担忧海狸鼠们严重破坏生态平衡，。故选A。
30. 【答案】D
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第五段The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria
collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy. 得知，毛皮贸易使海狸鼠受到了几十年
的控制，但是当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末崩溃时，这种猫大小的动物数量疯长，根据but判断，这
是转折关系，以前由于皮毛交易，海狸鼠处于控制，现在这种海狸鼠之所以能够数量激增，是由于市场不
再销售海狸鼠皮毛导致的，可以推断出划线词collapsed 是和D.crashed倒闭的意思最相近。故选D。
31. 【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt –free option that they
can wear without someone throwing paint on them-I think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least in New
York. ” 得知，为了给人们一种无罪的选择，人们可以穿皮衣而不被人们泼油漆，我认为在纽约将是一件
巨大的事情，根据模特摩根所说得知，在纽约穿皮质衣服是有风险的。故选B。
【2019年高考真题】
1. 【2019·全国卷I，B】
For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y.，today is speech day ,and right now it’s Chris
Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the of kid who would
enjoy public speaking.
But he’s, nervous.“I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a.
pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher ,Thomas Whaley ,is next to him,whispering support.“…Vote for …me …”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he
brings his speech to a nice conclusion ,Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起)how at
the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets
you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student，” Whaley explains，“especially for a student who is
learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say，‘I don’t know，but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to
raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the
project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸
耀)about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities,” Whaley says，“is very difficult for a child who came
into the classroom not feeling confident.”
24. What made Chris nervous？
A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.
C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.
25. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?

“You can use me as a last resort(选择), and if nobody else volunteers，then I will do it.” This was an actual
reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse(长曲棍球)club.
I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for
an unknown sport. She may just need a little persuading. So I try again and tug at the heartstrings. I mention the
single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren’t even on
… At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”
I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many. The
unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end-of-season gifts.
Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team. The coach is able
to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season. Handing out slicedoranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.
Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close. That relief is coupled
with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community(社
区)as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy. Volunteering just feels so good.
In that sense, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d freely like to admit. However, if
others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?
24. What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph l？
A. She knows little about the club.
B. She isn't good at sports.
C. She just doesn't want to volunteer.
D. She's unable to meet her schedule.
25. What does the underlined phrase “tug at the heartstrings” in paragraph 2 mean ?
A. Encourage team work.
B. Appeal to feeling.
C. Promote good deeds.
D. Provide advice.
26. What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3?
A. She gets interested in lacrosse.
B. She is proud of her kids.
C. She’ll work for another season.
D. She becomes a good helper.
27. Why does the author like doing volunteer work?
A. It gives her a sense of duty.
B. It makes her very happy.
C. It enables her to work hard.
D. It brings her material rewards.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文中讲述了作者成功说服了一个家长参加志愿者团队，作为一名志
愿者作者发挥了自己的作用，并获得了快乐。
24.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的 You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else
volunteers，then I will do it.可知，你可以当我是最后的候选人，如果没有其他的志愿者，那么我就
做。由此可推断出，她不想做自愿者。故选C。25.B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据划线前句she may just need a little persuading.和下面的一句话I mention the

even on ...可知，作者为了劝服这位家长，举了两个例子。故可知，划线句此处应是“煽情”之意。

4. 【2019·北京卷，B】
Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the
time she was 13，her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could
save kids' teeth，instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered
a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But
Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, "Why
can't I make a healthy candy that's good for my teeth so that my parents can't say no to
it?" With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He
recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy
would contain.
With her dad's permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe
that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning.
Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral
bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business of the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their
first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agreed to sell Moore's product-Cancandy.
As CanCandy's success grows, so does Moore's credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic
about the candy she created, and she's also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid canhave a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents' help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded
her company early on in life, she wasn't driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help
others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy's profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination,
it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
34. How did Moore react to her dad's warning?
A. She argued with him. B. She tried to find a way out.
C. She paid no attention. D. She chose to consult dentists.
35. What is special about CanCandy?
A. It is beneficial to dental health. B. It is free of sweeteners.
C. It is sweeter than other candies. D. It is produced to a dentists' recipe.
36. What does Moore expect from her business?
A. To earn more money. B. To help others find smiles.
C. To make herself stand out. D. To beat other candy companies.
37. What can we learn from Alice Moore's story?

C. Positive thinking and action result in success.

5. 【2019·天津卷，B】
I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with
books. There was not one night that I don't remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely
inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say," I can't believe what's printed in the
newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom
and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend
to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It
seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many
doors. When mom said," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was. My progress in
reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more
slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to
make A's on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn't enjoy this type of reading. I
liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Yet, now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find
myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and
mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don't have to write
down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We're taught to read because it's necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my
life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I've found that the possibilities that lie within books are
limitless.
41. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands？
A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B. She was anxious to know what had happened.

D. She couldn't help but stop mom from reading.42. According to Paragraph 3，the author's reading of road signs indicates___________
A. her unique way to locate herself
B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
D. her growing desire to know the world around her.
43. What was the author's view on factual reading？
A. It would help her update test-taking skills.
B. It would allow much room for free thinking.
C. It would provide true and objective information.
D. It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
44. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.
A. explore a fantasy land
B. develop a passion for leaning
C. learn about the adult community
D. get away from a confusing world
45. What could be the best title for the passage？

The 65-year-old Steve Goodwin was found suffering from early Alzheimer’s(阿尔楚海默症). He was losing
his memory.
A software engineer by profession, Steve was a keen lover of the piano, and the only musician in his family.
Music was his true passion, though he had never performed outside the family.
Melissa, his daughter, felt it more than worthwhile to save his music, to which she fell asleep catch night when
she was young. She thought about hiring a professional pianist to work with her father.
Naomi, Melissa’s best friend and a talented pianist, got to know about this and showed willingness to help.
“Why do this?” Steve wondered.
“Because she cares.” Melissa said.
Steve nodded, tears in eye.
Naomi drove to the Goodwin home. She told Steve she’d love to hear him play. Steve moved to the piano and
sat at the bench, hands trembling as he gently placed his fingers on the keys.
Naomi put a small recorder near the piano, Starts and stops and mistakes. Long pauses, heart sinking. But
Steve pressed on, playing for the first time in his life for a stranger.
“It was beautiful." Naomi said after listening to the recording. “The music was worth saving.”
Her responsibility, her privilege, would be to rescue it. The music was still in Steve Goodwin. It was bidden in
rooms with doors about to be locked.
Naomi and Steve met every other week and spent hours together. He’d move his fingers clumsily on the piano,
and then she’d take his place. He struggled to explain what he heard in his head. He stood by the piano, eyes closed,
listening for the first time to his own work being played by someone else.
Steve and Naomi spoke in musical code lines, beats, intervals, moving from the root to end a song in a new
key. Steve heard it. All of it. He just couldn’t play it.
Working with Naomi did wonders for Steve. It had excited within him the belief he could write one last song.
One day, Naomi received an email. Attached was a recording, a recording of loss and love, of the fight. Steve calledit “Melancholy Flower”.
Naomi heard multiple stops and starts, Steve struggling, searching while his wife Joni called him “honey” and
encouraged him. The task was so hard, and Steve, angry and upset, said he was quitting. Joni praised him, telling
her husband this could be his signature piece.
Naomi managed to figure out 16 of Steve’s favorite, and most personal songs. With Naomi’s help, the
Goodwin family found a sound engineer to record Naomi playing Steve’s songs. Joni thought that would be the
end. But it wasn’t.
In the months leading up to the 2016 Oregon Repertory Singers Christmas concert, Naomi told the director she
had a special one in mind: “Melancholy Flower”
She told the director about her project with Steve. The director agreed to add it to the playing list. But Naomi
would have to ask Steve’s permission. He considered it an honor.
After the concert, Naomi told the family that Steve’s music was beautiful and professional. It needed to be
shared in public.
The family rented a former church in downtown Portland and scheduled a concert. By the day of the show,
more than 300 people had said they would attend.
By then, Steve was having a hard time remembering the names of some of his friends. He knew the path his
life was now taking. He told his family he was at peace.

Zachariah Fike has an unusual hobby. He finds old military(军队的)medals for sale in antique stores and on
the Internet.But unlike most collectors, Zac tracks down the medals’ rightful owners, and returns them.
His effort to reunite families with lost medals began with a Christmas gift from his mother, a Purple Heart with
the name Corrado A. G. Piccoli, found in an antique shop. Zac knows the meaning of a Purple Heart-he earned one
himself in a war as a soldier. So when his mother gave him the medal, he knew right away what he had to do.
Through the Internet, Zac tracked down Corrado’s sister Adeline Rockko. But when he finally reached her, the
woman flooded him with questions: "Who are you？What antique shop？" However, when she hung up, she
regretted the way she had handled the call. So she called Zac back and apologized. Soon she drove to meet Zac in
Watertown, N.Y. "At that point, I knew she meant business, " Zac says. "To drive eight hours to come to see me."
The Piccolis grew up the children of Italian immigrants in Watertown. Corrado, a translator for the Army
during WWII, was killed in action in Europe.
Before hearing from Zac, Adeline hadn’t realized the medal was missing. Like many military medals, the one
Zac’s mother had found was a family treasure." This medal was very precious to my parents. Only on special
occasions(场合)would they take it out and let us hold it in our hands," Adeline says.
As a child, Adeline couldn't understand why the medal was so significant. “But as I grew older,” Adeline says,
"and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing we had left." Corrado Piccoli’s Purple
Heart medal now hangs at the Italian American Civic Association in Watertown.
Zac recently returned another lost medal to a family in Alabama. Since he first reunited Corrado’s medal, Zac
says his record is now 5 for 5.21. Where did Zac get a Purple Heart medal for himself？
A. In the army.
B. In an antique shop.
C. From his mother.
D. From Adeline Rockko.
22. What did Zac realize when Adeline drove to meet him？
A. She was very impolite.
B. She was serious about the medal.
C. She suspected his honesty.
D. She came from a wealthy family.
23. What made Adeline treasure the Purple Heart?
A. Her parents’ advice.
B. Her knowledge of antiques.
C. Her childhood dream.
D. Her memory of her brother.

himself in a war as a soldier”可知，当Zac还是一名士兵的时候，在一次战争中他获得了一枚 Purple
Heart。故A选项正确。
22.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To drive eight hours to come to see me”可以推知，Adeline为
了那枚Purple Heart开车八个小时来见Zac，由此可知，她对于这件事是认真地。因此，At that
point, I knew she meant business应该指的是Zac意识到Adeline对这枚勋章是认真的。故B选项正确。
23.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Corrado, a translator…was killed in action in Europe”和倒数
第三段中的“as I grew older…and missed my brother more and more, I realized that was the only thing

一关于哥哥的东西了。因此她很珍惜这枚勋章。故D选项正确。

Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles
last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can, Take
What You Need."People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board.
“People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的)backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The
Toolbox, which created the project. "We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few
dollars." Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video
clip(片段)shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “There’s a
certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most." Most people who took
dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity
and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on
the Internet.
“After all, everyone has bad days and good days," he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some
days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”
24. What does the expression "money with no strings attached" in paragraph 1 mean?
A. Money spent without hesitation.
B. Money not legally made.
C. Money offered without conditions.
D. Money not tied together.
25. What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?
A. Women tended to be more sociable.
B. The activity attracted various people.
C. Economic problems were getting worse.
D. Young couples needed financial assistance.
26. Why did Bridges carry out the project?
A. To do a test on people’s morals.
B. To raise money for his company.
C. To earn himself a good reputation.
D. To promote kindness and sympathy.
【语篇解读】上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站,一块牌子上别针别满了美元，上面写着“给予你所能给与的，
拿走你所需要的”。这样的活动吸引了各种各样的人，组织者希望通过这样的活动来提倡仁慈和同情。
24.C 【解析】词义猜测题。由第一段“But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up withdollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, "Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”可知，
但是上个月在洛杉矶的联合车站，一块牌子上别针别满了美元，上面写着“给予你所能给与的，拿
走你所需要的”。所以通过下文的语境，判断出第1段中的money with no strings attached是“无条
件提供的钱”的意思。故B选项正确。
25.B 【解析】推理判断题。由第二段““People of all ages, races, and socio-economic（社会经济的）
backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. "We even had a
bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.”可知，发起该项活动的泰勒·布里
奇斯说:“所有年龄、种族和社会经济背景的人都会付出和索取。”甚至有一位穿着婚纱的新娘来到
了牌子前，拿走了一些钱。所以通过泰勒·布里奇斯所说的，可以判断出，他提到新娘就是想说明这
项活动吸引了各种各样的人。故B选项正确。
26.D 【解析】细节理解题。由倒数第二段“While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges
said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy”可知，尽管这段视频看起来像是一项新的广告
活动的一部分，但是布里奇斯说这次活动唯一的目标是表现出慷慨和同情。所以布里奇斯实施这个
活动是为了提倡仁慈和同情。故D选项正确。
