六、规范训练目标：做标记，留痕迹；零失误；限时7分钟/每篇。
七、解题策略：
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。
☛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, wh, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。
☛左顾右盼
在做题过程中，需要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。
☛刨根问底
主旨大意题或推理判断题等不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；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。
☛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。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。
☛一锤定音
有时记叙文最后一题需要选定标题，颇有难度。既要注意文章反复出现的关键词（key wrds），还应注意文章的主旨或隐含意义。实在有困难的话，还可以用排除法。从历年高考统计数据来看，记叙文标题可以是以下情况：短语型；句子型；问句型等。

真题演练01（2024·北京·高考真题）When I was a little girl, I liked drawing, freely and jyusly making marks n the walls at hme. In primary schl, I learned t write using chalks. Writing seemed t be anther frm f drawing. I shaped individual letters int repeating lines, which were abstract frms, delightful but meaningless patterns.
In secndary schl, art was my favurite subject. Since I lved it s much I thught I was gd at it. Fr the art O-level exam I had t present an il painting. I fund it difficult, but still hped t pass. I failed, with a lw grade. I’d been ver-cnfident. Nw I’d been declared talentless.
But ther channels f creativity stayed pen: I went n writing pems and stries. Still, I went t exhibitins ften. I cntinued my habitual drawing, which I nw characterised as childish ddling (乱画). In my 30s, I made painter friends and learned new ways f lking at art. Hwever, I culdn’t let myself have a g at actually ding it. Thugh these new friends were abstract painters using il paints, r were printmakers r sculptrs, I tk il painting as the tab (禁忌) high frm I wasn’t allwed t practice.
One night, in my early 40s, I dreamed that a big wman in red apprached me, handed me a bag f paints, and tld me t start painting. The dream felt s authritative that it shk me. It was a frm f energy, giving me back smething I’d lst. Accrdingly, I started by experimenting with water clurs. Finally, I bught sme il paints.
Althugh I have enjyed breaking my decades-lng tab abut wrking with il paints, I have discvered I nw prefer chalks and ink. I let my line drawings turn int cartns I send t friends. It all feels free and easy. Un-anxius. This time arund, I can accept my limitatins but keep ging.
Becming a successful painter calls fr being reslute. I realised I was always afraid f wanting t much. That dream reminded me that thse fears and desires culd encurage me t take risks and make experiments.

真题演练02（2023·北京·高考真题）Sitting in the garden fr my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pcket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started ff: “Dear Mr Green, thank yu fr yur interest” and “the review prcess tk lnger than expected.” It ended with “We are srry t infrm yu…” and my visin blurred (模糊). The psitin—measuring sil quality in the Sahara Desert as part f an undergraduate research prgramme — had felt like the answer I had spent years lking fr.
I had put s much time and emtinal energy int applying, and I thught the rejectin meant the end f the rad fr my science career.
S I was shcked when, nt lng after the email, Prfessr Mary Devn, wh was running the prgramme, invited me t bserve the wrk being dne in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shcked—and verjyed—when she invited me t talk with her abut ptential prjects I culd pursue in her lab. What she prpsed didn’t seem as exciting as the riginal prject I had applied t, but I was ging t give it my all.
I fund myself wrking with a rbtics prfessr n techniques fr cllecting data frm the desert remtely. That prject, which I culd cmplete frm my sfa instead f in the burning heat f the desert, nt nly survived the lckdwn but wrked where traditinal methds didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest t pursue.
When I applied t graduate schl, I fund three prgrammes prmising t allw me t fllw my desired research directin. And I applied with the same anxius excitement as befre. When I was rejected frm ne that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) t keep it frm sending me int panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted int ne f the ther prgrammes I was als excited abut.
Rather than setting plans in stne, I’ve learned that smetimes I need t take the pprtunities that are ffered, even if they dn’t sund perfect at the time, and make the mst f them.

真题演练05（2020·北京·高考真题）Fr the past five years, Paula Smith, a histrian f science, has devted herself t re-creating lng-frgtten techniques. While ding research fr her new bk, she came acrss a 16th-century French manuscript（手稿）cnsisting f nearly 1,000 sets f instructins, cvering subjects frm tl making t finding the best sand.
The authr's intentin remains as mysterius（神秘）as his name; he may have been simply taking ntes fr his wn recrds. But Smith was struck mainly by the fact that she didn't truly grasp any f the skills the authr described. "Yu simply can't get an understanding f that handwrk by reading abut it," she says.
Thugh Smith did get her hands n the best sand, ding things the ld-fashined way isn't just abut playing arund with French mud. Recnstructing the wrk f the craftsmen（工匠）wh lived centuries ag can reveal hw they viewed the wrld, what bjects filled their hmes, and what went n in the wrkshps that prduced them. It can even help slve present-day prblems: In 2015, scientists discvered that a 10th-century English medicine fr eve prblems culd kill a drug-resistant virus.
The wrk has als brught insights fr museums, Smith says. One must knw hw an bject was made in rder t preserve it. What's mre, recnstructins might be the nly way t knw what treasures lked like befre time wre them dwn. Schlars have seen this idea in practice with ancient Greek and Rman statues. These sculptures were painted a rainbw f striking clurs. We can't appreciate these kinds f details withut seeing wrks f art as they riginally appeared-smething Smith believes yu can d nly when yu have a rad map.
Smith has put the manuscript's ideas int practice. Her final gal is t link the wrlds f art and science back tgether: She believes that bringing the ld recipes t life can help develp a kind f learning that highlights experimentatin, teamwrk, and prblem slving.
Back when science—then called “the new philsphy”—tk shape, academics lked t craftsmen fr help in understanding the natural wrld. Micrscpes and telescpes were invented by way f artistic tinkering（修补）, as craftsmen experimented with glass t better bend light.
If we can rediscver the values f hands-n experience and craftwrk, Smith says, we can marry the best f ur mdern insights with the handiness f ur ancestrs.
13. Hw did Smith, feel after reading the French manuscript?
A. Cnfused abut the technical terms.
B. Impressed with its detailed instructins.
C. Discuraged by its cmplex structure.
D. Shcked fr her wn lack f hand skills.
14. Accrding t Smith, the recnstructin wrk is dne mainly t _____________.
A. restre ld wrkshpsB. understand the craftsmen
C. imprve visual effectsD. inspire the philsphers
15. Why des the authr mentin museums?
A. T reveal the beauty f ancient bjects.
B. T present the findings f ld science.
C. T highlight the imprtance f antiques.
D. T emphasise the values f hand skills.
16. Which wuld be the best title fr this passage?
A. Craftsmen Set the Trends fr Artists
B. Craftsmanship Leads t New Theries
C. Craftsmanship Makes Better Scientists

（2024·北京朝阳·一模）My birth was a little mre dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the wrld. I was brn missing my left hand. Indeed, my limb (手臂) difference culd have been a disaster if it hadn’t been fr what happened next. A nurse placed me in my mther’s arms and instructed, “Yu will take her hme. Yu will lve her and treat her as nrmal.”
That is exactly what happened. I played sprts, acted in theater, excelled in schl and had playdates with friends. While I did get sme stares and “plite” questins abut my disability, I was lucky because I wasn’t made fun f fr it.
Hwever, that fact that I was different hit me hard my first day f high schl. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-cnscius and the need t fit in is intensified. I remember ne f the ther kids n the schl bus stared just a little t lng at my left arm. I felt a sudden urge t hide my hand, s I slipped it int my pcket. I tld myself that I’d just hide it that ne day, while I was trying t make friends. But ne day f hiding turned int a week, a mnth, and years — 25 f them t be exact.
When I was 38 years ld, tired f hiding and lnely, I met smene special and invited him in. The cmbinatin f me finally feeling ready t unhide and his willingness t g thrugh the unhiding prcess with me was exactly what I needed. Fr the first time in my life, I allwed smene t really hld my limb, lk at it, tuch it, lve it — lve me. I saw my limb difference as smething unique abut me, smething that shuld be shwn, nt hidden.
It was a transfrmatinal experience, and I learned t lve me t. It changed hw I lived my entire life and made me happier. I als discvered and jined the Lucky Fin Prject, an rganisatin devted t peple with all types f disabilities.
Hiding things, especially frm lved nes, is tiring and lnely, and it prevents us frm getting help and supprt. It’s time t change that.

I suppse if yu lked at my huse, yu might think it was just anther cuntry huse. But t me it is anything but standard. I mved int this huse with my parents ten years ag. I can still remember that first day like it was yesterday. The first thing I nticed was the big frnt yard. T me it seemed like an cean f grass — I culdn’t wait t dive in. The backyard was full f gnarled (扭曲的，粗糙的) and scary trees that talk n windy nights. But I grew t like them and the shadws they cast in my rm. My father and I even built a small treehuse, where I ften g t remember all the wnderful times we had befre my father’s death.
This huse is special — maybe nly t me — but special nevertheless. It’s the little seemingly insignificant things that make this huse s special t me: the ice-cld tile flrs that make me tremble n midnight; the smell f my father’s pipe that still exists: the twering bkcases f my mther; the view utside my bedrm windw.

When I was an undergraduate student studying eclgy, I was used t discvering verall trends in large amunts f data. The thught f getting my hands dirty in the field never seemed interesting t me. I saw it as a bring and repetitive task. But I knew ptential graduate schls wuld likely view my lack f field experience as a hle in my applicatin letter. My mther als thught I shuld wrk fr a few years t explre my interests befre pursuing further educatin. S I decided t apply fr field-based summer psitins after graduatin.
After landing a jb assessing the sage gruse habitat in Utah, I fund myself in the cmpany f Sherel, a 75-year-ld btanist and the leader f ur field crew. On the very first day f the fieldwrk, I nticed a special plant n the field. “Wnderful! Lks like yu’ve gt a Mahnia repens,” Sherel shuted excitedly. I gently tuched the plant with yellw flwers by my feet, “This ne here? Hw can yu tell it’s a Mahnia?” He paused briefly t admire the plant and then began his energetic descriptin f the plant’s typical features. That evening, while we were watching the sunset tgether, I texted my childhd friend. “Day I was actually kind f fun,” I started, “but we’ll see hw lng it takes befre I get bred frm just identifying plants in the field all day.”
But as the weeks f fieldwrk rlled by, the bredm I had expected never arrived. I came hme frm the field each night with sre legs and a sunburned neck, excited by the day’s finds. By picking Sherel’s brain abut different species f animals and plants, I discvered field days are abut much mre than identificatin. Each day is an pprtunity t learn a little bit mre. When the summer was ver, I fund myself in anther field jb, this time surveying frest in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
I’m nw a third-year Ph. D．student in eclgy. Fieldwrk may be buggy, wet, and physically demanding, but wrking with thers helps keep spirits high and the physical activity helps me stay sharp. And it cnstantly reminds me that any task can present an pprtunity t learn — as lng as I am pen t it.

In February 2022, I began learning Chinese. Almst a year later, I fund myself in Beijing, the capital f China. Befre cming here, I had attended Chinese classes, and I culd sense my prgress in the language.

But full skills in the language are nt necessary t enjy many attractins f life in China.
The ne thing that truly makes me feel cmfrtable and less lnely is making friends and jining in cnversatins.

Knwing that next year wuld bring a new rund f try-uts, I began practicing rutines n my wn, hping t becme a cheerleader the next year.

（23-24高二上·北京朝阳·期末）My Day f N Plastic
Since its inventin, plastic has affected every aspect f ur lives. It has made pssible thusands f cnveniences, but it has cme with dwnsides, especially fr the envirnment. In a 24-hur experiment, I tried t live withut it t see what plastic stuff we can’t d withut and what we may be able t give up.
At the start f my n-plastic day, I made my way tward the bathrm, nly t stp myself befre I went in. “Culd yu pen the dr fr me?” I asked my wife. “The handle is plastic.” She pened it fr me, letting ut a “this is ging t be a lng day” sigh (叹气).
My mrning rutine was a headache. I culdn’t use my tthpaste, tthbrush, shamp r sap, all f which were made f plastic r put in plastic cntainers. Getting dressed was als a challenge, given that s many clthing items include plastic.
When I went ut, I brught alng tw glass cntainers and clth bags f varius sizes. I walked t a sandwich shp. “Can yu make the salad in this glass cntainer?” I asked. The manager said OK but then rejected my request t use my steel spn.
After lunch, I tk the subway t Central Park, which scred me mre vilatins (违规), since I need a MetrCard and the trains themselves have plastic parts. But at least I didn’t sit in ne f thse plastic seats.
Back hme, I recrded sme f my impressins. By my cunt, n my day f n plastic, I had made 164 vilatins. I felt defeated. And als uncertain. The next day I called Gabby Salazar, a scientist wh studies what mtivates peple t supprt envirnmental causes, and asked her fr advice.
“Yu can drive yurself crazy,” she said, “but it’s nt abut perfectin. It’s abut prgress.” Believe it r nt, individual behavir matters. It adds up. “Remember,” she cntinued, “it’s nt abut plastic being the enemy. It’s abut single-use as the enemy.”
I prmised t try, even after my nt successful attempt. I’ll start with small things, building up habits. I can take clth bags t the grcery. I might start packing my glass water bttle and steel spn. And frm there, wh knws?

（2024·北京朝阳·二模）When I was nine, my best friend nearly chked t death n a gbstpper, a type f hard candy. After several attempts, she cughed up the candy. I haven’t had a gbstpper since and I have carried with me a fear f seeing that scene again. Sadly, as I discvered this week, lightning can strike twice.
I was getting ff a tube train in Lndn when I nticed a wman cughing. I slwed dwn, watching her carefully. I had learned that cughing is rarely a sign that smething is terribly wrng. Suddenly, the wman stpped cughing, her eyes widened and she bent ver.
When I went ver t ask if she was OK, she lked up at me, panicked, and pinted t her back. I started hitting her back and screaming fr help. Despite having watched a few vides, I was terrified that I wuldn’t be able t crrectly perfrm the Heimlich, a first-aid methd, and that I wuld have t walk away with guilt fr her death. But it was just the tw f us, alne at an undergrund statin; if I didn’t try t help, n ne wuld. Thankfully, much like with my friend, after a few sharp hits, whatever had been stuck in her thrat came lse. She thanked me, almst embarrassed, and walked up t the lift. I fllwed behind her, shaking, with tears in my eyes.
By the time we reached the lift, we had bth calmed dwn. She tk my hands and thanked me again, befre disappearing. She might have been fine withut my hurried hits n her back — I may nt have actually saved her life — but at least she knew that smene, a stranger whm she wuld never see again, cared.
This experience als taught me abut the bystander effect, where peple assume thers assumed t be available during an emergency, direct help frm thers is far less likely t will help, leading t inactin. I get it: the fear f making things wrse, especially if yu have n medical training, is real. Research suggests that when a “medically cmpetent” persn is assumed t be available during an emergency, direct help frm thers is far less likely t ccur. Smetimes, thugh, regardless f wh else culd be nearby, it may be useful t get invlved. S it was with the cughing wman n the tube.

I had heard that medical schls liked t see an upward trend, s I was discuraged and hurt, but tried nt t think abut it. Having yur grades taken away frm yu when that was all yu had was a huge thing I had t vercme — I defined my wrth by hw “smart” I was and getting past that mindset was the hardest thing I’ve ever dne.
After I saw my grades, I realized the mistake I made taking a bunch f unnecessarily challenging curses. At the end f my secnd term, my grades weren’t as high as I wanted them t be, but I accepted it. I knew that there were reasns fr the differences between individuals, but I still saw a huge imprvement in my marks frm the first term. I had enjyed my time in my secnd term and even thugh I wasn’t where I wanted t be, it had nthing t d with my place in the university. It was very eye-pening and taught me what I needed t d in rder t achieve MY best — nt what everyne else cnsidered t be the best.
I’m nw taking a summer schl curse and my marks are incredibly better than what I was getting during my first year f schl. Thugh I had a rugh start, I’m sure my lessns and new attitude will carry me much farther than just t medical schl.

The wrds were cnveyed by a flicker (跳动) f the left eyelid. It came frm a bk, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, by a frmer jurnalist, Jean-Dminique Bauby. He wrked fr jurnals like the Qutidien de Paris and Paris Match. Fr fur years until December 1995 he was the very successful chief editr f Elle.
Then the unthinkable happened. A cardivascular ( 心血管的) accident sent him int a deep cma (昏迷). His brain remained undamaged, but its cnnectin t his bdy left him with nly the ability t blink his left eyelid.

One wuld expect frm this prcess frmal factual reprt, but that is nt the case. The bk reads in flwing images that light up his predicament. The style is clear and fresh, and nt withut elegance, imaginatin and shafts f humr.
He is als in search f past time, f memry itself, f the bks he had read, the pems he had learnt by heart. Even sadder, he thinks f all the bks he wanted t read and hadn’t gtten t. He has t listen t smene else reading them t him. He recalls meals, a hrse race, his life and wrk as an editr, and his struggle in his hspital bed t twitch (抽搐) his nse when a fly lands n it.
“Frm this hell cmes a great message f life and hpe,” said Antine Auduard, a friend f Bauby’s and the bk’s publisher.

（2024·北京丰台·二模）Abeid was brn in a village f Tanzania and dreamt f flying a plane, saring (翱翔) thrugh the sky. Due t financial difficulties, he became a wildlife guide instead.
Abeid didn’t give up. He became a chief pilt f ht air ballning at the age f 20. His passin fr flying was matched by his skill bth as a pilt and as a guide. Then, he came up with the idea f flying acrss the Serengeti frm east t west, which wuld take fur flights n successive days, taking ff and landing where n ne had ever seen a balln befre.
As a jurnalist, I was s lucky t make a jurney with Abeid. We were up at 3 am. Abeid walked int the basket and checked the lines and the fastenings. Mments later, he was instructing me t get int it. With barely time t catch my breath, he gave a lng blast (猛吹) n the burners and the basket tipped upright.
Over the fllwing days, we gasped at the jy and wnder f the sky; at the beauty and cmplexity f the land beneath us. There was n fear, just a sense f being part f smething fantastic as we flated in the silence f the African sky.
But nt everything went entirely t Abeid’s carefully wrked-ut plan. The rains that had started t fall every afternn slwed the air. On the final day, we landed 20km shrt f the destinatin. Luckily, we finally made the crssing the next mrning.
When we were returning t the land, crwds f peple shuted and waved. Many children lked up as we flew ver them, and started t run. As Abeid brught the balln dwn, peple gathered arund the balln, pressing against the basket. Thse children were als there, flushed and breathless, eyes wide with amazement. Abeid and I bth lked at each ther in silent agreement. Suddenly we were helping sme children int the basket. Abeid lifted ff and we flew just a few hundred metres with the excited crwd running alngside.
I realized that Abeid’s jurney was mre than just abut flying. It was abut hpe, inspiratin, and the jy f sharing ne’s passin. And as I penned dwn the last wrds f this extrardinary experience, I knew that Abeid’s stry wuld resnate (回荡) far beynd the Serengeti.

（2024·北京顺义·二模）Up t the age f ten, I did nt mind at all the fact that my elder sister was different. The child psychlgist had termed it as “Asperger Syndrme”, a disease that affects hw a persn scializes with thers.
It was nly at the age f ten that I started t becme aware f my scial life and self-image that I had carefully shaped. My sister, n the ther hand, was scially awkward. She wuld mumble (咕哝) t herself and repeat the wrds she had just said under her breath. She, hwever, was academically capable, and hence we attended the same primary schl. Despite this, I never, ever acknwledged in public that she was my sister.
Being in primary six, abut t graduate, my sister and her classmates had t put up a perfrmance, whether in a grup, r individually. Due t her inability t integrate, my sister was the nly ne left withut a grup. “I’ll sing,” my sister tld my parents, smewhat cnfidently. Hearing that, I was taken aback. Hw culd my sister sing in frnt f the schl? She wuld embarrass me, ne way r anther. “N!” I remember prtesting. My parents sht me a lk.
N ne knws she is yur sister. It is fine, yu d nt need t tell anyne. I remember telling myself these exact lines as I sat in the hall, waiting fr the perfrmances t start. The curtains parted t reveal the nly sl (独唱) — my sister. It tk abut a whle minute fr her t state her name and class and by that time, whispers were heard in the audience.
“Why is she taking s lng?” peple arund me asked. I shifted nervusly in my seat. Finally, my sister started t sing. I was prepared fr the wrst. She pened her muth, and I was transfixed — she sang effrtlessly. Her vice rang thrugh the hall, beautiful in its pwer. I listened ever s carefully t the wrds that she had cmpsed all by herself.
Guilt and shame filled my heart. Althugh she knew that I was embarrassed by her and was unwilling t attend her cncert, my sister had frgiven me; she had never taken anything that I had dne t her t heart. It was then that I reslved t lve her uncnditinally.

But, althugh my tw sisters and I knew that ur mther had heart prblems, this news still made us frzen fr a while with ur eyes widening in disbelief.
Dr. Marc Semigran f the transplant team reviewed my mther’s medical histry. She’d had an irregular and rapid heartbeat fr mst f her life. Her present treatment — the use f a series f cardiversins, r electric jlts, t restre a nrmal heartbeat — wuld nt wrk in the lng-term. She had an enlarged and weakened heart, as well as a faulty valve.
“With medicatin,” Dr. Semigran said, “yu have a 60 percent chance f living six mnths. Yu culd have a lnger life with a transplant, but there are risks. Yu’re at the tp end f the age grup f sixty years ld. The lungs and ther rgans must be healthy and strng. While the transplant surgery is actually a straightfrward prcedure, acceptance by the bdy is the difficult thing.”
My family came tgether, trying t prvide strength and wrk ut what t d. We’d already gne frm shck, ver ur mther’s cnditin, t wrry that she wuldn’t be a suitable recipient. Despite f the risk, we chse t believe that she wuld make it eventually.

The heart transplant peratin was successful and the cnditins culd nt have been better.
The irny f the transplant prcess is that ne family’s lss is anther’s gain; that tragedy begets frtune. It is a kind f life after death, ur hearts beating beynd us.

（2024·北京海淀·一模）At my first lessn in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher tld me plainly: “Nw I will teach yu hw t write yur name. And t make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curius.
Grwing up in Singapre, I had an unusual relatinship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, s they asked frtune tellers t decide my name, aiming fr maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nnsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, rughly, “ld”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.
When I arrived in America fr cllege at 18, I put n an American accent and abandned my Chinese name. When I mved t Hng Kng in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided t learn calligraphy. Why nt get back in tuch with my heritage? I thught.
In calligraphy, the idea is t cpy the ld masters’ techniques, thereby refining yur wn. Every week, thugh, my teacher wuld give uncmfrtably n-the-nse assessments f my persn. “Yu need t be braver,” he nce bserved. “Have cnfidence. Try t prduce a bld strke(笔画).” Fr years, I had prided myself n presenting an image f cnfidence, but my writing betrayed me.
I was trying t make sense f this practice. Yu must visualize the wrd as it is t be written and leave a trace f yurself in it. As a bdily practice, calligraphy culd g beynd its wn cultural restrictins. Culd it help me g beynd mine? My teacher nce said t me, “When yu lk at the wrd, yu see the bdy. Thugh a wrd n the page is tw-dimensinal, it cntains multitudes, cnveying the frce yu’ve applied, the energy f yur grip, the arch f yur spine.” I had been learning calligraphy t get in tuch with my cultural rts, but what I was really seeking was a return t myself. Nw I have sensed that the pleasure ut f calligraphy allws me t knw myself mre fully.
During a recent lessn, my teacher pinted at the wrd I had just finished, telling me: “This wrd is much better. I can see the chices yu made, yur calculatins, yur flw. Trust yurself. This wrd is yurs.” He might as well have said, “This wrd is yu.”
77．What did the authr initially think f her name “Chen Yiwen”?
A．It was lucky s she gladly accepted it.B．She felt prud f its symblic meaning.
C．She understd the intentin but still disliked it.D．Its strange prnunciatin made her embarrassed.
78．The authr decided t learn calligraphy t ______.
A．pick up a new hbbyB．recnnect with her rigin

A．reflects the creatr’s spiritsB．cmes frm creative energy
C．highlights the design f strkesD．depends n cntinuus practice
80．What des the authr intend t tell us?
