历年考情
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。
命题规律
阅读理解记叙文/新闻报道常见的有细节理解、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。
考向预测
预测2025年高考记叙文阅读理解试题难度会保持相对稳定，但会继续考查细节理解题、推理判断题主旨大意题和词义猜测题等题型。

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章讲述兽医威廉·法伯(William Farber)博士在从针灸中受益后，将综合医疗应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“If he seems a little defensive, it might be because even sme f his cwrkers ccasinally laugh at his unusual methds.( 如果他看起来有点自卫，那可能是因为他的一些同事偶尔会嘲笑他不寻常的方法。) ”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Then he tried acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice, and was amazed that he imprved after tw r three treatments. What wrked n a veterinarian seemed likely t wrk n his patients. S, after studying the techniques fr a cuple f years, he began ffering them t pets.(然后，他尝试了针灸，这是一种古老的中国疗法，并惊讶地发现，经过两三次治疗，他的病情有所好转。对兽医有效的方法似乎对他的病人也有效。因此，在研究了这些技术几年后，他开始把它们提供给宠物。)”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试在宠物上使用针灸。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容“Leigh Tindale’s dg Charlie had a serius heart cnditin. After Charlie had a heart attack, Tindale says, she was prepared t put him t sleep, but Farber’s treatments eased her dg’s suffering s much that she was able t keep him alive fr an additinal five mnths. And Priscilla Dewing reprts that her hrse, Nappy, “mves mre easily and rides mre cmfrtably” after a chirpractic adjustment.(利·廷代尔的狗查理患有严重的心脏病。廷代尔说，查理心脏病发作后，她准备让他进入睡眠状态，但法伯的治疗大大减轻了她的狗的痛苦，她能够让它多活五个月。普里西拉·杜因(Priscilla Dewing)报告说，她的马纳皮(Nappy)经过脊椎按摩调整后，“行动更容易，乘车更舒服”。) ”可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体医学方法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后移动和骑行更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体医学的有效性。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容“Farber is certain that the hlistic apprach will grw mre ppular with time, and if the past is any indicatin, he may be right: Since 1982, membership in the American Hlistic Veterinary Medical Assciatin has grwn frm 30 t ver 700. ( 法伯确信，随着时间的推移，综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，如果过去有任何迹象的话，他可能是对的:自1982年以来，美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个。)”可知，法伯认为综合疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子，因此推断美国整体兽医协会是为证明法伯的观点。故选A。

4．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Life had always been abut actin fr frmer teacher Billy Keenan, wh had served in the Army befre. He mastered musical instruments including the flute, guitar, bass guitar and pian. As a cmpetitive triathlete and surfer, he cmpleted numerus 5K, 10K and half-marathn runs. “I was at the peak f my pwers,” he said. (生命于 Billy Keenan而言就是战斗，他曾经入伍，精通乐器，也是有竞争力的铁人三项运动员，冲浪运动员，完成过数不清的赛事，如他而言，他正处于人生能量的巅峰)”可知，此处与而后的受伤到高位瘫痪，身体严重受创，形成鲜明对比，此段用意就是来对比说明之后Billy Keenan的艰难，为之后继续战斗走出困境埋下伏笔。故选B项。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Everything faded t black.(一切逐渐变为黑色。)”、第三段中的“Keenan called it ne f the wrst days f his life, saying it was “a lt f darkness.”(基南称这是他生命中最糟糕的日子之一，他说那天“充满了黑暗”。)”以及第五段中的“Lking back n his life, Keenan realized he had been accustmed t what he called “deliberate discmfrt.””(Keenan沉浸在他自称的“deliberate discmfrt”)可知，那就是Keenan当时残疾，就处于那种有意识地认为自己瘫痪残疾，人生没有指望的自我消极情绪和状态中，由此可知，他过去曾经接受残疾和痛楚就是自己的最终命运。故选D项。
6．词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“The nly reasn yu survive is when yu’re better, when yu’re strnger, when yur … is ver, yu’re ging t cme back and cntribute in a significant way (你活着的唯一理由就是，当你好一点，当你变强壮一点，当你的……结束，你要回归你的生活，用更有意义的方式去回馈这个社会)”可知，这里是对Keenan的身体康复状态的一个递进描述，划线单词前描述的是变好一点，变强壮一点，到划线单词后描述的回归生活，为社会做贡献，由此可知推断，划线单词表示的意义与“恢复健康”意义相关。故选C项。
7．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Life had always been abut actin fr frmer teacher Billy Keenan, wh had served in the Army befre. He mastered musical instruments including the flute, guitar, bass guitar and pian. As a cmpetitive triathlete and surfer, he cmpleted numerus 5K, 10K and half-marathn runs. “I was at the peak f my pwers,” he said. (生命于 Billy Keenan而言就是战斗，他曾经入伍，精通乐器，也是有竞争力的铁人三项运动员，冲浪运动员，完成过数不清的赛事，如他而言，他正处于人生能量的巅峰)”以及第二段的“But n Sept. 14, 2013, his life changed in an instant while surfing at the Jersey Shre.(但是在2013年9月14日，当他正在泽西海岸冲浪时，他的生活瞬间发生了改变。)”以及下文介绍的 Keenan的整个故事经历可知，他从一位多才多艺的处于人生巅峰的教师，突然变成重度伤残，可是他没有消沉，与命运抗争，最终回到岗位，并持续发光发热。他经历磨难，克服艰难，让自己更强大，由此可推断，Keenan自身的故事所传达的含义是那些杀不死你的，使你更强大。故选B项。

1.关注细节
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, wh, 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。
2.注重联系
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。
3.读懂表象
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。
4.挖掘意义
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。
