+记叙文
A (2019·江西省三校联考)
Are you happy with your appearance? 1
“ Almost all the girls with single fold eyelids( 单 眼 皮 ) in our class have had
double eyelid operations,”Zeng,a Senior 2 student from Chengdu,told Xinhua.Zeng
had the same surgery done this summer. 2
From popular photoediting apps to plastic surgery(整形手术),it seems that large
eyes,pale skin and a skinny body are the only standard for beauty these days.But can
following this standard really make us feel good about ourselves?
3 According to Huxiu News,over six in ten girls choose not to take part in
certain daily activities,such as attending school,because they feel bad about their
looks.As much as 31 percent of teenagers avoid speaking up in class because they worry
that others will notice their looks.
Many teenagers are upset about their appearance because they believe in
unrealistic standards of beauty,experts say. 4 Seeing all these things can make anyone
believe that they're too dark,too fat,too short,or too tall.
However , trying to live up to strict standards can make us feel anxious.What
troubles us is not just our “imperfect” looks,but the fact that we criticize ourselves
too much.
5 Plussize models are being featured in some fashion shows.All of us should
be just as confident as they are.
A.Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
B.Some teenagers might feel negative about their appearance.
C.Body image anxiety is common among teenagers.
D.Guys care just as much as girls do about their body image.
E.She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.
F.It's common for teenagers to feel confident about their appearance.
G.Perfect faces and bodies are everywhere in advertising,TV shows and social media.

B (2019·湘东六校联考)
Research shows that playful teasing between parents and their children can be a
way to strengthen relationships,bring up difficult topics,and just have fun. 6 Carol
Bishop says,“You need to recognize if they are enjoying it,”There are also rules
about what is okay and not okay to tease your child about. 7 Instead,tease kids about
safe topics,like a messy room,or things that can be easily changed.
Teasing should also be a twoway street. 8 If they go too far making fun of
you,be sure not to blow up.Instead,help them to learn boundaries and what may hurt
others.
Teasing about a disappointing grade should only be used as a gentle reminder to
study or do homework.It shouldn't be focused on the ability because that could make the
situation worse.It's not wrong to say to your child,“I'm disappointed that you got a C.”
9 You need to examine if there is a learning disability or maybe they are depressed
or being bullied.
From monsters under the bed to darkness and noises,fears that may seem silly to
an adult may be very real to a child. 10 In fact,it could make them worse.Teasing a child who is frightened about something is not a way for them to expand their
horizon—you need to make them feel secure.
A.Kids often feel hurt when teased by others.
B.Topics like appearance and weight are prohibited.
C.You have to be willing to let your child tease you about things.
D.But then you must work with them to figure out the cause.
E.But parents need to recognize when teasing becomes hurtful.
F.Laughing or teasing won't help them overcome their fears.
G.Teasing a child about sports performance can cause a child to quit the sport.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇议论文。讲述了适当地和孩子开玩笑可以增强亲
子关系,帮助孩子克服困难,帮助孩子成长;但是,也有一些东西不能当作笑料。
6.E [根据空前一句可知,研究表明,父母和孩子之间开玩笑可以加强关系,
提出困难的话题,也可以仅作娱乐;结合下文中的 You need to recognize if they are
enjoying it.可推知,E 项“但是父母要认识到何时玩笑变成伤害”符合语境。]
7.B [根据空后一句可知,相反,你可以拿一些安全的话题来逗孩子们,比
如一个乱糟糟的房间,或者一些很容易被改变的东西。据此可推知,空处讲述的
是不能拿来开玩笑的话题,故 B 项符合语境。]
8.C [根据空后一句可知,如果他们开你玩笑开得过火了,千万别大发脾气。
据此可以推断,空处表述的是你也要愿意让孩子开你的玩笑;故 C 项正确。空处
前一句也是提示。]

抑郁或被欺负了;据此可推知,空处表述的是你要同他们一起弄明白成绩不好的
原因,故 D 项正确。]
10.F [根据空前一句可知,从床下的怪物到黑暗和噪声,害怕这些对成年
人来说似乎是可笑的,但对孩子来说可能是非常真实的;结合空后一句可知,事
实上,这会让他们更加糟糕;故 F 项“发笑或取笑不会帮助他们克服恐惧”符合
语境。]
C
There are times when people come into your life,and you know at once that they
are sure to be there.They serve some sort of purpose,teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people may be:
your classmate,neighbor,teacher,longlost friend or even a real stranger.But 11 ,
you know that at that very moment they will affect your life in some serious way.
12 .However,on reflection you realize that without getting over them you would
have never realized your potential ability and strength.
Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or
bad luck. 13 . Without these small tests , life would be like a smooth road to
nowhere.The people affecting your life,and the successes and failures you experience,
help to create who you are and who you become.
Even the bad experiences can be learned from.In fact,they are probably the most
important ones.If someone hurts you,forgive them, 14 .
15 ,for you may never be able to experience it again.Talk to people you have
never talked to before,and really listen.You should set your sights high,hold your head
up,tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself.Create your own life
and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly,if you love someone,tell him or her,for you never know what
tomorrow may have in store.
A.when you look eyes into them
B.because you are likely to get addicted to them
C.Don't forget to embrace those unpleasant moments
D.Make every day count and appreciate every moment

方式影响你的生活。故 A 项正确。]12.F [根据空后的 However 可知,空后的句子与空处构成转折关系;结合
空后一句可知,然而,经过认真思考你会意识到,不克服它们,你永远也不会意
识到你的潜在的能力和优势。据此可以判断,F 项“有时,发生在你身上的事情起
初似乎很有挑战性”与此处匹配。]
13.E [根据空前一句可知,每件事的发生都是有原因的,没有什么事是偶
然发生的,也没有什么事是带着幸运或不幸发生的。据此可知,E 项“疾病、伤害
和爱的发生都是为了考验你的内心的极限”承接前一句,下文中的 these small tests
也是提示。故 E 项正确。]

D (2019·石家庄市质检)
I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's
been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things
I'm already interested in.I like to read blogs(博客) in other languages. 16 .For the
most part,bloggers tend to write the same way they speak,so I don't have to worry
much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool , especially if you can find subtitles in the
language you're learning. 17 ,they will still keep your brain listening and reading in
the same language.Music is another way to start listening to things in your new
language.Personally,I'm so bad at understanding lyrics(歌词) even in English,so this
one doesn't really work for me , but I have friends who learn a language through
lyrics.Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language.A lot of
language learning computer programs include games.I'm super competitive and if I play
any of them,I can be hooked for hours. 18 .
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade,it can be
hard to stick with it.The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood.I'm actually stuck at
this stage in Norwegian. 19 .Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam.Each
time I start getting selfsatisfied ,it's time to take a new course or sign up for online
lessons,or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
20 .The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course
at university where my professor never used any English.It got to the point where I
would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class,which helped me to
really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited
Russian I had.
A.That's really uncomfortable
B.Whatever languages they're translated into
C.I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D.It's time well spent if I'm learning the language
E.Computer games always make me feel worn out
F.Though they don't always exactly match what's being said
G.I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral
language
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”一共学习过十二种语言,在学习
语言的过程中“我”尝试过各种各样的方法。
16.G [根据空后一句可知,通常,博主们倾向于用他们说话的方式来写;
据此可推知 “我”发现博客是学习语言的好工具,因为它们常常是用口语写
作的,故 G 项正确。]
17.F [根据该句中的其他部分,并结合常识可推知,电影中的字幕虽然有
时和所说的话不是很一致,但是仍然会让你的大脑用同样的语言听和看,故 F 项
与此处匹配。]
18.D [根据空前两句可知,许多语言学习电脑程序中包括游戏,而“我”
是一心求胜,如果“我”玩任何一个,“我”都能上瘾好几个小时。据此可推知,
如果“我”在学习这门语言,花费的时间是值得的,故 D 项符合语境。]
19.A [根据空前两句可知,对“我”来说,最难的部分是当“我”足够自
信能用一门语言来理解大多数东西并使自己被理解的时候。在学挪威语时“我”实际上被困于这种状态了;据此可推知,那让“我”感到很不舒服,故 A 项正
确。]
20.C [根据空处所在的位置可知,空处为该段的主题句;根据该段的最后
一句可知,“我”回忆了当时在大学上俄语课时的感受;据此可推知,该段主要介
绍“我”也使用“我”正在学的语言来进行思考,故 C 项正确。]
E (2019·广州市调研测试)
It was the 2015“super storm” in New South Wales that restored my faith in
people.
During a break in the weather,I stupidly decided to drive into town to buy some
groceries.However,as I left the supermarket and drove back,the weather took a turn for
the worse. 21
I had nowhere to go.I spotted a young man in his front yard assessing the
situation.He quickly waved to me to come and park in his driveway. 22
The man,who introduced himself as Trent,then invited me to wait inside his house
with his wife , Kayti and their two daughters.I told him I was concerned about the
damage to my car,as the continuing rain was starting to turn into hail(冰雹).Trent then
grabbed a blanket from his garage and covered my car. 23 Fortunately,his efforts
saved my car from being damaged by the hail.
By 11:00 a.m.,the electricity and phone services had both gone. 24 Trent made
me a cup of tea and Kayti gave me a towel to dry myself off.The three of us chatted
while waiting for the weather to get better.I learned that Trent had lost his job and was
struggling to feed the family.
When the hail stopped,I shook Trent's hand and kissed Kayti goodbye. 25 I was
very moved by their kindness and it renewed my faith in people.
As I went out the door,I asked Trent for two of his business cards.My father has
since called to offer him a job as a clerk at his company.
A.It began pouring so heavily that I was forced to stop.
B.The couple were so modest as I thanked them for their help.
C.I was surprised that he didn't ask for anything in return for his assistance.
D.I was grateful to escape the running water that was about to drown my car.
E.I tried driving faster to escape the heavy downpour that was sure to come.F.As a result,I couldn't contact my parents,despite knowing they'd be worried.
G.He was wet but he didn't seem to mind being out in the wild weather on my
behalf.

物,暴风雨来临时一位年轻人邀请“我”到他家躲避,并用毯子盖好“我”的车,

21.A [根据空前一句可知,当“我”离开超市开车回去时,天气变得更糟
了;根据下文 I had nowhere to go 可知,“我”无处可去;据此可推知,空处应是

22.D [根据空前一句可知,正当“我”在暴风雨中被迫停车时,一位年轻
人向“我”挥手,让“我”将车停在他的车道里;据此可推知,“我”很感谢他让
“我”免遭暴风雨,故 D 项与此处匹配。]
23.G [根据空前两句可知,“我”告诉 Trent“我”担心冰雹会砸坏“我”
的车,他便从车库里拿了条毯子盖住“我”的车;结合常识和语境可推知,他全
身湿透,但是并不介意,故 G 项符合语境。]
24.F [根据空前一句可知,上午十一点时,电力和电话服务都中断了;据
此可推知,“我”无法联系上父母,尽管“我”知道他们很担心我,故 F 项符合语
境。]
