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 guessed?1.Why did the author do pet sitting?A.To raise fund.B.To protect the environment.C.To cover travel expenses.D.To shoot beautiful beaches.2.What does the author intend to convey through her story?A.Pet sitting is a new type of occupation.B.The Caribbean is an ideal travel destination.C.Travel blog is a superb way to gain popularity.D.Action should be taken to fight plastic pollution.3.How did the author find her experience in the Caribbean?A.Significant.B.Challenging.C.Adventurous.D.Dreadful.4.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A.Changing Lifestyles by Pet SittingB.Unexpected Gains from Pet Sitting TravelC.Dealing with Global Environmental PollutionD.The Availability of Pet Sitting in the CaribbeanPassage2(2023四川宜宾二诊)Sachin Oza always 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。

2016浙江省高考英语二轮练习：写人记事阅读理解（2）解析答案写人记事（阅读理解）Last night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road,I came to a crossing with a traffic light.I was alone on the road by now,but as I drove near the light,it turned red and I made a stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car,no suggestion of car lamps,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being caught,because there was clearly no policeman around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night,the question of why I’d stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract (契约)we all have with each other.It’s not only the law,but it’s an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honor it: we don’t go through red lights.Trust is our first inclination (倾向).Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互)trust,not di strust.We do what we say we’ll do; we show up when we say we’ll show up; and we pay when we say we’ll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and we’re angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.1.Why did the author get impatient while driving?()A.He was lonely on the road.B.He was slowed down by a truck.C.He got tired of driving too long.D.He came across too many traffic lights.2.Wh at was the author’s immediate action when the traffic light turned red?()A.Stopping still.B.Driving through it.C.Looking around for other cars.D.Checking out for traffic police.3.The event made the author strongly believe that .A.traffic rules may be unnecessaryB.doubting others is human natureC.patience is important to driversD.a society needs mutual trust4.Why was the author proud of himself?()A He kept his promise.B.He held back his anger.C.He followed his inclination.D.He made a right decision.语篇解读:本文为记叙文,题材属于人物故事类。

2016浙江省高考英语二轮练习：写人记事阅读理解（1）解析答案写人记事（阅读理解）Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧).It’s fun to come home.It looks the same.It smells the same.You’ll realize what’s changed is you.Home is where we can remember pain,love,and some other experiences: We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.If I close my eyes,I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home.I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table.To the right of the living room is my first bedroom.It’s empty,but it’s where my earliest memories are.There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays,and where I cried on Halloween—when I didn’t want to wear the skirt my mother made for me.I always liked standin g on that table because it made me feel tall and strong.If I sit at this table,I can see my favorite room in the house,my parents’ room.It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side.Their bed is my safe zone.I can jump on it anytime—waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.I’m lucky because I know my first home still exists.It exists in my mind and heart,on a physical property(住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles.It is proof I lived,I grew,and I learned.Sometimes when I feel lost,I lie down and shut my eyes,and I go home.I know it’s where I’ll find my family,my dogs,and my belongings.I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I’ll be blamed by Mom.But I don’t mind,because I want to hear her say my name,which reminds me I’m home.1. Why does the author call her parents’ bed her “safe zone”(Paragraph 3)?()A.It is her favorite place to play.B.Her needs can be satisfied there.C.Her grandparents’ photos are lined on each side.D.Her parents always play together with her there.2. What can be learned from the passage?()A. The old furniture is still in th e author’s first bedroom.B.The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.C.The author’s favorite room in her first home is the dining room.D.Many people of the author’s age can still find their first physical homes.3.Sometimes when she feels lost,the author will.A.open the window at nightB.lie down in bed to have a dreamC.try to bring back a sense of homeD.go to Los Angeles to visit her mom4. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?()A. To express how much she is attached to her home.B.To declare how much she loves her first house.C.To describe the state of her family.D.To look back on her childhood.语篇解读:本文为记叙文。

2022浙江省高考英语二轮练习：写人记事阅读理解（6）解析答案写人记事（阅读理解）Peanuts to ThisProudly reading my words,I glanced around the room,only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused,I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher.Having no choice,I slowly raised the report I had slaved over,hoping to hide myself.“What could be causing everyone to act this way?”Quickly,I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task.This was the first real task I received in my new school.It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country,I had never heard of that name before.As I searched the name of this fellow,it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts,while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen,wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice:flip (掷) a coin.Heads—the commander,and tails—the peanut guy.Ah! Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter,George Washington Carver.Weeks later,standing before this unfriendly mass,I was totally lost.Oh well,I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report,it all became clear,“My report is on George Washington,the man who started the American Revolution.”The whole world became q uiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously,my grade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless,I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot,but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade.I felt that the punishment was not justified,and I believed I deserved a second chance.Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.Ten months later,that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather,now having an entirely different conversation.I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade.Justice is sweet!1.What did the author’s classmates think about his report?()A.Controversial.B.Ridiculous.C.Boring.D.Puzzling. 2.Why was the author confused about the task?()A.He was unfamiliar with American history.B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C.He forgot his teacher’s instruction.D.He was new at the school.3.The underlined word “burning” in Para.3 probably means .A.annoyedB.ashamedC.readyD.eager4.In the end,the author turned things around .A.by redoing his taskB.through his own effortsC.with the help of his grandfatherD.under the guidance of his headmaster语篇解读:本文为记叙文,题材为人物故事类。
高中英语真题-2016高考英语(二轮)阅读理解练习(2)
2016高考英语（二轮）阅读理解练习（2）【2014高考英语广东省佛山市质测试题】Ever get that feeling you're being watched? Well, if you're a dog-owner, you may have a point. Dogs are able to watch people' s interactions with one another to determine who holds yummi er treats, according to a new study. This study joins others tha t show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feeli ngs. It offers evidence dogs use information not only from peo ple's direct interactions with them, but also their interactions w ith one another.In the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for som e of their corns. Both women gave the man corns when he as ked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enth usiasm and said the corns were so delicious. In response to t he other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gro ss (in Spanish; the study was conducted in ). After these inter actions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the d og go. While many dogs didn't approach either woman, the do gs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman wit h the yummier food.Other studies of dogs' people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell the difference between happy and sad faces in their owners. The y prefer people who give others food when asked over people who don't give others food.
