专题07 阅读理解之记叙文10篇
（2022春·广东惠州·高一惠州一中校考期末）As I stood in line waiting to check out at my favorite store, I studied the customer in front of me. She was in her early twenties, but looked as if life had beaten her down many times. Everything about her spelled hardship.
The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat, along with some inexpensive items. Carefully placed in a far corner sat a little doll, some animal stickers, and a 50%-off pretty dress.
When it was her turn and the store employee finally calculated everything and told her the cost, her face paled. She opened her purse and began counting small bills and change. Obviously she didn’t have enough. She removed much-needed goods while the cashier patiently put them away with a pleasant smile.
The child’s items remained in the cart, however. The man right behind me shouted loudly, and the young woman’s cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I wanted to pay for her groceries, but I knew that would hut her.
Instead, I turned around and said to the man in a low voice, “Be grateful you’ve never had to do that!”  And then, as she tried to decide what other necessity she could return, I said, “Take your time. I’m in no hurry.”
The woman finally reduced her groceries, paid and moved down to bag them. When my turn came, I moved forward and placed several items with the pile of items the woman had taken out and whispered “ Separate bags, same bill please.” The cashier nodded and quickly complied. Then she “accidentally” rolled several oranges hard enough so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor. As the woman kindly ran to pick up the runaway fruit, I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart, along with a twenty-dollar bill.
That night, as I sat with my husband, my thoughts went to the Lady who I hoped was enjoying a hearty meal with her little girl, and I hoped silently that her life would take an easier turn soon.

（2023秋·吉林延边·高一统考期末）Santiago has visited Machu Picchu many times and knows the best time to arrive. This is before the first train of the day arrives from Ollantaytambo. We boarded our bus and headed up the mountain! As we climbed and climbed, it was easy to imagine how the Spanish failed to discover Machu Picchu during their travels up and down along the Urubamba River far below. The site sits over 7,000 feet high on a mountain top and plants hide it from view.
In the early 1900s, the site was not as much rediscovered as it was made famous by Hiram Bingham, an explorer who was looking for the hidden city of the Incas. In fact, local farmers were using part of Machu Picchu to grow food at the time. No one knows for sure what Machu Picchu was used for or when and why the site was abandoned(遗弃). These questions will likely never be answered. However, what is known for sure is that it was an amazing creation!
As we entered Machu Picchu, we had an opportunity to take the famous “postcard picture” thanks to Santiago. There wasn’t one question that he did not have an answer for. He seemed very conscious(有意识的)of our limited time and wanted to make sure we got the most out of our visit. We had a chance to visit an ancient drawbridge(开合桥). This tested my fear of heights as the drop-off at some points was close to 2,000 feet straight down. In fact, the trail became too dangerous to go any further so we made our way back to the main site and had plenty of time to take great photos there.
After Santiago was satisfied we had seen much as we could, we took the bus back to Aguas Calientes.
5．Why did the author mention the Spanish in paragraph 1?
A．To show that Machu Picchu was difficult to find.
B．To describe how Machu Picchu was damaged.
C．To discuss how valuable Machu Picchu is.
D．To explain why Machu Picchu is attractive.
6．How does the author describe Machu Picchu?
A．It was well protected by local people.
B．It was not as good as she expected.
C．It was hidden by the Incas.
D．It was a great human creation.
7．When the author stood on the drawbridge, she was probably ________.
A．tired B．fearful C．excited D．surprised
8．What can we infer about Santiago?
A．He lives in Machu Picchu. B．He knows Machu Picchu well.
C．He comes from Spain. D．He is a local farmer.

（2022秋·湖南永州·高一统考期末）When my daughter was diagnosed with a rare disease in 2015, I lost myself in the endless pursuit to save her. I began to dive into different communities to find anything and everything I could to help her. I spent most of my time researching and making phone calls. We would end up traveling to Philly every year, sometimes many times a year.
We were not prepared for everything that was to come in the following years. At 2 years old, Jordyn gave her first step. She had her first disease attack, but it didn’t seem to affect her development. But in the summer of 2018, Jordyn had a horrible attack. She hasn’t been the same since. She gradually lost her ability to crawl, walk and even sit up on her own. She now struggles to hold her head up and her energy level has dropped too low.
I’ve gotten really good at dealing with my emotion. Looking back, I guess I’ve always been that way. It takes a lot of energy for a mother when she knows that only a miracle will keep her daughter. The truth is, though, sometimes I just want to scream. It’s the lie I tell myself that I can keep moving forward.
Hug your babies tight and appreciate them for every little thing they can do. Be in the moment and try to give them space when they make a mistake. It’s not a sign of weakness, but rather, a sign of bravery.

（2023秋·重庆·高一西南大学附中校考期末）The annual marathon in my town occurred as scheduled. My job was to follow behind the runners in an ambulance in case any of them needed medical attention. As the athletes began to pace themselves, the front runners started to disappear. It was then that my eyes were drawn to the woman in blue running shorts and a baggy white T-shirt.
I knew we were already watching our “last runner”. Her feet turned in, yet her left knee was turned out. Her legs were so crippled and bent that it seemed impossible for her to walk, let alone run a marathon.
The driver and I watched in silence as she slowly moved forward. We would move forward a little bit, then stop and wait for her to gain some distance. Then we’ d slowly move forward a little bit more. As I watched her struggle to put one foot in front of the other, I found myself expecting her and urging her forward. I wanted her to stop, and at the same time, I hoped that she wouldn’t.
Finally she was the only runner left in sight. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched with respect and amazement as she pushed forward with strong determination through the last miles. When the finish line came into sight, the cheering crowds had long gone home. Yet she didn’t give up and crossed the line.
I don’t know this woman’s name, but that day she became a part of my life — a part I often depend on. For her, it wasn’t about beating the other runners or winning a prize. It was about finishing what she had set out to do. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of the last runner. Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.

（2023秋·安徽芜湖·高一统考期末）In 2021, fresh out of high school, I had difficulty in choosing a major before college. With only two options left, I was in deep dilemma. My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I should do a work placement to gain experience for a month in a bank followed by a month in a hospital so that I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. While hospital was full of excitement, the training was challenging. It seemed that the bank was going to win out.
Then one day when I was driving home from the hospital, I witnessed a terrible accident. Two cars crashed, causing a boy lying motionless in the middle of the road. People gathered around him but no one could really help. As a matter of fact, I wanted to keep going and ignored it, but the urge to stop and help was stronger. I got out of my car and tried to stop his bleeding but didn’t succeed. With the help of some bystanders, I lifted his unconscious body into the back seat of my car, and rushed him to the hospital. The next day, the doctor introduced me as “the person who saved your son’s life” to the boy’s parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Everyone got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. The boy, now managed a smile though unable to speak.
What a feeling it was to help save the life of another person! I spent the rest of the day in a state of excitement. Driving home that evening, I knew what I would prefer for the rest of my life.

（2023秋·重庆·高一校联考期末）Three very strong women — my mother, my grandmother and Melinda — deserve big credit for helping me become the man I am today. But Blanche Caffiere, a very kind teacher and librarian I’ve never written about before, also had a huge influence on me.
Mrs. Caffiere died in 2006, shortly after reaching her 100th birthday. Before she passed away, I had an opportunity to visit her and thank her for the important role she played in my life.
When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was the elegant and engaging school librarian at Seattle’s View Ridge Elementary, and I was a fourth grader. I was desperately trying to go unnoticed, because I had some big weaknesses, like dysgraphia (书写障碍), and had a totally messy desk with books around. And I was trying to hide the fact that I liked to read — something that was cool for girls but not for boys.
Mrs. Caffiere took me under her wings and helped make it okay for me to be a messy, nerdy boy who was reading lots of books. She pulled me out of my shell. She started by asking questions like, “What do you like to read?” and “What are you interested in?” Then she found me a lot of books. For example, she gave me great biographies she had read. Once I’d read them, she would make the time to discuss them with me. “Did you like the book? Why? What did you learn?” She listened to what I had to say patiently. Through those book conversations in the library and in the classroom we became good friends.
Teachers generally don’t want to burden their students with extra reading beyond the homework they’ve given. But I learned from Mrs. Caffiere that my teachers had so much knowledge to share. Looking back on it, there’s no question that my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped spark my interest in libraries and my focus on helping every child in America get the benefit of great teachers. I should give great thanks to the devoted teacher and librarian who helped me find my strengths when I was nine years old. It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.

23．What do we know about Mrs. Caffiere?
A．She had the greatest influence on the writer.
B．She influenced the writer’s decision on helping American children.

（2023秋·黑龙江大庆·高一大庆实验中学校考期末）“I have cancer.” Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.
Mom didn’t stay down for long. After the shock of breast-cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts (白细胞数量) and medications (药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. “The not-knowing is the worst.” she said.
The operation was successful. The chemo (化疗) was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. “Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can’t take my smile.” Mom said.
Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond (纽带) between us. Yet I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me—worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, “When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.”
Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars. From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.
25．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．There were other ways to treat cancer.
B．I should be the one being there for Mom.
C．Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.
D．Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.
26．Which of the following words can best describe Mom?
A．Humorous and creative.
B．Caring and knowledgeable.
C．Honest and intelligent.
D．Optimistic and determined.
27．What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?
A．The ways Mom faced fear.
B．The fear Mom shared with me.
C．The jokes Mom told me.
D．The bond Mom and I formed.
28．What lesson did the author learn from Mom?
A．Luck counts in beating diseases.
B．Positive attitudes get one through hardship.
C．Complaint does no good to one’s health.
D．Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.

（2023秋·辽宁·高一校联考期末）From a young age, Barbara Binns’s passions were reading and doing research. With her latest book, Unlawful Orders, a biography, she captures American history.
Unlawful Orders tells the story of James Williams (1919-2016), a doctor who served with the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black military pilots, during World War II. While at the Freeman Airfield base in Iowa, he stood up to racial unfair practices through peaceful protest, which pushed the government to make some changes in the US army.
Binns lives in Chicago, Illinois, where she grew up and where most of her stories took place. In 2008, she wrote several books for young readers. She found her current book’s subject while researching James’s mother, Clara Williams, for another project. James had also lived in Chicago, in a neighborhood not far from where Binns grew up, but she hadn’t heard about him. “I found myself wondering if I ever walked past him on the street and didn’t realize I was in the presence of greatness,” Binns told The Week Junior. She said she would have loved to have him as a role model during her childhood.
That’s one reason why she wrote Unlawful Orders, she said — for children who need a hero, someone who looks ordinary but did extraordinary things through quiet but persistent actions.
29．What can be known about James Williams?
A．He once served as an American pilot.
B．He fought for equal rights for the black people.

（2023秋·吉林白城·高一统考期末）Brody Ridder attends The Academy of Charter Schools in Westminster, Colorado. When he got his yearbook(学校年刊)，he went up to people and asked them to sign his yearbook but most of them refused. He collected only two or three names from classmates and two notes from his teachers. So, Brody wrote a yearbook note to himself, “Hope you make some more friends. ”
Reading that note broke his mother’s heart. She took a photo of the note and posted it to a Facebook group for parents at the school.

And then right after that, everyone in the class started signing Brody’s yearbook.
The teens said they hope the small friendly act can encourage other kids to be kind. “It makes me feel better now. I don’t know how to explain it. It makes me feel better from the bottom of my heart,“ Brody said. ”It makes me feel like there’s hope for the school, there’s hope for humanity and there’re a lot of good kids in this world,“ his mother said.

（2022秋·贵州毕节·高一统考期末）I grew up with a four-year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.
However, as we’ve got older, we’ve become closer, and I’ve learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn’t realize I needed before.
My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls I’ve known. He’s continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He’s helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do.
My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he’s able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It’s always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration for me to try harder at letting go.
My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you’re lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he’s certainly learned the whole “actions speak louder than words” thing. But, I’ve realized from my brother that I needn’t speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it’s necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.
37．What can we know about the author’s childhood according to paragraph 1?
A．The author thought the four-year gap made them distant.
B．The author had to do a lot of work for her brother.
C．There was a lot of fighting between the author and her brother.
D．The author often beat her brother.
38．What does the author’s brother pay most attention to?
A．New art forms. B．Creativity. C．New instruments. D．Talents.
39．What is the difference between the author and her brother?
A．The attitude to hard times. B．The ability of studying.
C．The aim of future. D．The way to spend time.
40．What can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A．Depressed. B．Attractive. C．Favorite. D．Quiet.

Then I realize how easy the task before me really is.(我不知道这个女人的名字，但从那天起，她成了我生活的一部分——我经常依赖的一部分。对她来说，这不是打败其他选手或赢得奖品。而是要完成她已经开始要做的事情。当我觉得事情太困难或者我觉得“我就是做不到”的时候，我就会想到最后一个跑步者。然后我意识到摆在我面前的任务是多么简单。)”可知，对于这个女人来说，这不是打败其他选手或赢得奖品，而是要坚持到底，完成已经开始要做的事。作者正是从她身上学到了这种精神。故选D项。

It’s remarkable how much power one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.
