文体分类练(二) 记叙文
Passage 1 (2024 福建漳州三模)
主题:学习素描 词数:345 难度:★★★☆☆
Learning anything can be challenging,especially when it comes to figuring out how and
what to practice.Repetition is usually essential.But you don’t want something that takes the
joy out of you.I’ve been teaching myself to draw for a few years.I had improved a lot but for
a long while was going nowhere.I’d tried lots of books and courses,and filled endless pages
with boxes,parallel lines and figures.None of these seems to be working.
But something clicked when I started sketchbooking this year.The sketchbooks led to a
shift in mindset.Rather than trying to practise,I was engaging in a practice—scribbling (涂鸦).
The scribbles weren’t all good but they have become part of a whole.I’ve been absorbed ever
since.I scribbled my breakfast,the fruit in the office,and other people on the train.
I spoke to Danny Gregory,a writer who blogs and makes videos about sketchbooking,to
try to figure out why I had become so taken by my new practice.
“We think the practice in drawing is like that in piano,where you have to play through a
series of musical notes step by step,” Gregory says.“But what if you think about practice in
other terms—like a yoga practice or medical practice?With those kinds of practices,you’ve
learned some stuff,right?Progress happens naturally.It’s not preparatory.So just follow the
process and take pleasure in it.This is what matters.”
I have now filled two sketchbooks just with portraits—more than 100 scribbled over a
couple of months.In them I challenged myself to include people on every page.Used to
drawing ghost-town versions,the first few pages were a struggle.But I started varying my
morning coffee routine to find new places where I could observe life.
My latest sketchbook will tackle the challenge of all my drawings—hands.I’ve always
had problems drawing hands.It’s early days,but I’m not fearing it as I would have before
because it isn’t just practice any more.

【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
难度:★★★☆☆
One day as I drove toward my home,I passed the local bus depot.I pulled up as a group
of people crossed the road in front of me.As I watched,I noticed a thin,shabbily dressed older
lady struggling with a large suitcase.
Witnessing this lady and remembering similar struggles I had experienced in the past
when traveling,I pulled up alongside her and leaned over to call out through the open
passenger window,“I’m going right into the town,” I said.“I can drop you off.That suitcase
looks awfully heavy.” “Well,all right,” she answered.When we got there,she thanked
me,“Well,God bless you,lady.No one has ever done me a kindness like that before.I hope
someone will do a good turn for you one day.”
Shortly after the encounter with the suitcase lady,I decided to spend a day in the
mountains alone.I set off with my dog in my pickup,which was elderly but still
serviceable.After driving for nearly two hours,I heard a sudden loud noise and my truck came
to a full stop.I found its axle was broken and needed to be towed.In a remote area,with no
hope of finding another person,I knew I was in big trouble.Over and over,I blamed my own
stupidity for being in a deserted area with no possible chance of help.I hoped that no
wandering bear would come to investigate.Or a hungry mountain lion—with babies.My
imagination ran riot.I started to panic.
Then faintly,in the distance,came the roar of motorbikes.As they drew nearer,I could see
that they were a group of motorcycle riders.“Do you need help,ma’am?” I heard a concerned
voice say.The rest is history.My pickup,my dog and I were all transported back to safety.I
shall never forget the kindness of the motorcycle riders who stopped.Some people may think
it was a happy coincidence,but personally I like to say,it was someone that really did a good
turn for me,just as the suitcase lady said.

Passage 3 (2024 安徽池州二模)
主题:保护真菌 词数:338 难度:★★★☆☆
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
【www.xue-ba.org 12 年学霸网】
In 1999,Giuliana Furci,founder and founding director of the Fungi (真菌)
Foundation,developed a deep interest in fungi.They were everywhere,and the 20-year-old
took particular joy in the variety of mushrooms:small and button-shaped;tall and umbrella-
like;round with red caps topped with white flakes.Some were commonly found in people’s
diets,for they were rich in nutrients such as vitamin,fiber,minerals and protein.
But Furci also quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignored in Chile,where
there were few guidebooks and an almost total lack of policies and resources to protect them
from over-harvesting and other human activities.Determined to correct this,Furci wrote a
field guide and set up the Fungi Foundation—a non-profit dedicated to fungi conservation.In
her guide,special attention went to the role of fungi in the ecosystem.
“Life on the planet wouldn’t exist without fungi,” said Greg Mueller,a mushroom
conservation expert.“Because of their relationship with forests and trees,we can’t survive
without fungi.In terms of the health of the planet,they’re incredibly important to humans and
the overall ecosystem.” Fungi can break down plants and animals,thus cycling nutrients and
increasing their availability in the soil.They are also important contributors to the soil carbon
stock through the same process.What’s more,fungi have been found to help degrade(降解)
various pollutants,such as plastic.And mycelium (菌丝体),which is the root structure of
mushrooms,is now being used to replace unsustainable materials,such as plastic and animal-
based products.
Because of these,exploration of fungi was expanded at a faster pace.However,some were
already listed as critically endangered.In 2010,Furci took an even bigger step—with other
environmental non-profits,she put forward a proposal for the government to systematically
assess how large new developments such as housing,dams,and highways affect fungi.In
2012,a law was passed and Chile became the first country in the world to protect fungi by
law.
