文体分类练(二)记叙文(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2023山东淄博一模)My husband and I always wanted to go to the Caribbean but didn’t know much about the islands or how we were going to afford it.By chance,a friend of ours in Australia mentioned “pet sitting” and that it is something you can do all over the world.We quickly created an account on a pet sitting website and began searching for options.There were only a couple of sits available in that part of the world,but we tried our luck,sent a request,and to our surprise landed a three-month job in Grenada,so our year was going to be taken up with Caribbean pet sits.Inspired by a Canadian couple,we decided to start our own travel blog.We began by writing about The Virgin Islands,highlighting the beautiful beaches.However,for every photo album of a beautiful beach,there were 10 photos of trash.It was hard to ignore the plastic pollution issue,especially on such primitive and remote beaches.So,we began to share photos of the trash we saw and how much we could pick up on our daily dog walks.The more we looked into plastic pollution,the more we realized the severity of the global plastic pollution.From that point,we used our platform to create awareness and highlight ways to say no to plastic and travel plastic-free.We changed our daily routines,our way of living,and even our diets to accommodate more organic foods and little to no plastic packaging.It’s been over three years now and we continue to do what we can.This journey has led us to some amazing places,working with great brands and even organizing a country-wide beach clean-up campaign in Grenada.Our aim now is to keep on going.We love connecting with like-minded people.It’s been amazing few years that was sparked by a conversation about pet sitting.Who would have

seemed to catch whatever cold and flu germs were flying around.Despite being only in his mid-thirties,he felt out of shape and out of sorts.He realized that if he didn’t make some changes,his immune function would continue worsening with age.“I have a family background of diabetes,high cholesterol,and heart disease,” adds Oza.“I had to take action.”But Oza’s lifestyle stood in the way.He clocked long days working in finance in London,with little opportunity to be active or focus on his well-being.His commute from his home in Orpington,Kent,to the office was stressful and time-consuming,and he was spending far too many hours stuck behind his desk.Oza’s increasingly sedentary(久坐不动的) lifestyle had repercussions.In addition to catching bugs easily,he lacked energy,his body ached,and he felt lethargic.“My immune system was really weak,” recalls Oza.“I knew that I shouldn’t be feeling this way before even hitting 40.”So he began a 15-year journey to examine his health fully.He conducted some changes to his diet,introducing more raw fruits and vegetables and cutting down on junk food.He started going for runs and began regular training,resistance training,and stretching.He also became interested in mindfulness,practising deep-breathing and meditation.Now 49,Oza feels like a new man.“I catch colds far less frequently than before,” he says.His aches and pains have eased,his stress levels are lower,and he sleeps soundly.“I no longer wake up in the early hours,which has made a huge difference in how I feel.”There are many factors affecting the immune system that we can’t control—ageing weakens our immune function,for example,and we have individual genetic differences that affect how we deal withdiseases.5.What was the barrier for Oza to make changes before?A.His immune system.B.His family background.C.His unfavourable lifestyle.D.His weak health situation.6.What does the underlined word “lethargic” mean?A.Puzzled.B.Sleepy.C.Unconfident.D.Energetic.7.How has Oza regained health?A.By taking a 15-year journey.B.By giving up his job in London.C.By eating raw fruits and vegetables.D.By changing diets and keeping training.8.What do you think of Oza according to his experience?A.Busy.B.Determined.C.Intelligent.D.Dull.Passage3(2023浙江嘉兴二模)Joe Horan,a physical education teacher,has started the program Building Men to create a positive vision of manhood not just for himself,but also for the boys he teaches.Looking back,Mr.Horan says his program developed from a low point in his life.In 2004 as he went through a hard time,he felt society’s definition of manhood was leading him down the wrong path.His life,he says,lacked substance and depth.“A desire became planted in my heart.That is,to find healing from the unhealthy messages I believed about manhood,” he says.Then,his sister recommended a book,Season of Life by Jeffrey Marx,which digs into the discovery of what being a man is all about.Joe took all the clues and started to put life lessons into his class.Despite limited resources and funding,Building Men began at one middle school in the district in 2006.It grew on a shoestring budget,expanding school by school,year by year.Today,33 teachers,like Mr.Colabufo,work across 18 schools.Mr.Colabufo has known Mr.Horan for several years,noting many people are aware of the program’s success.“Joe’s a legend in this district,” Mr.Colabufo says.The program appeals to boys at first because of a basketball component,but its secret is how it divesinto off-the-court issues through discussions on character.Building Men helps participants gain insight,work to restore self-worth,and learn to calm emotions.SIR is a central component of lessons,standing for significance,integrity,and relationships.At a recent breakfast fundraiser,Shateek Nelson,a senior at Nottingham High School,shared his experience,having participated in Building Men since middle school.He said he learned to see the bigger picture,rather than living in the moment.He also came to realize his actions affect others,and now he factors that into his decisions.9.What motivated Joe Horan to start the program Building Men?A.An instructional book.B.His personal experience.C.His sister’s suggestion.D.The society’s expectation.10.What does the underlined word “shoestring” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Flexible.B.Proper.C.Tight.D.Balanced.11.What did Shateek Nelson learn from participating in Building Men?A.One should dream big and then start small.B.One should live each day as if it were the last day.C.It is good to gain real-life experience at middle school.D.It is essential to think more of others in decision-making.12.What is the best title for the text?A.SIR:Core Component of Physical EducationB.Healthy Life:Involving Substance and DepthC.Building Men:Teaching Boys About ManhoodD.Manhood:Teenagers’ Power of Handling Issues答案：Passage1[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。
