冲刺2024年中考英语必考题型终极预测（重庆专用）专题03 阅读理解(记叙文) 15篇（2023·重庆渝中·重庆巴蜀中学校考模拟预测）Candy is smart, talented and really nice. As a team leader, she wishes Frank, a member of her politics project, did his part as required. But rather than criticize （批评）him, only to find that Frank kept falling behind. It ended up that other team members, who had to take on more work, while Frank himself complained that he was not treated fairly.How did poor Candy get into this mess? The primary reason was that Candy failed in a key part of leadership—the duty to provide clear feedback（反馈）for team members. This isn’t simply a duty but a correctness.Failing to question or criticize Frank’s work, Candy was in fact unkind. Many people are not a failure, like Frank. They’re just in the wrong place, and still left in the dark. What they really need is feedback from their leaders. However, Candy didn’t bring out a gift in Frank.A leader had better use open, honest, continuous and clear feedback to help solve someone’s best fit in their job or in the organization. This method also avoids surprises. It’s not uncommon to see someone suddenly removed from a team. Maybe it serves them right, they wouldn’t have been caught off-guard （猝不及防）because they would have been receiving open, continuous and clear judgment of their performance.Then why is it so hard for leaders to give good feedback? People always like to be liked, so they avoid anything that may cause unpleasantness. But that kind of feedback usually helps members find the right place for them. If you just only like to be liked, the chance of being respected is really low. However, you have a chance of being liked. Of course, the most difficult part for a nice leader is criticizing someone.Back to Candy’s case. Not telling Frank how he was on the team only made a hard situation worse. But with a different mindset, she could have led her team to success and have been a likeable and critical leader.1．The word “gift” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ________”.A．present B．ability C．pride D．praise2．According to this article, what is necessary between leaders and team members?A．Being nice to team members is likely to win leaders great respect.B．Criticizing team members results in serious complaints to the leader.C．Open and honest communication is a must for leaders and team members.D．Praise and encouragement from leaders bring out better team performance.3．Based on the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A．Candy should patiently encourage Frank to try his best.B．Candy should gradually kick Frank off her team.C．Candy should politely show Frank the improvement he made.D．Candy should clearly tell Frank her judgment of his performance.4．What is the best title of the passage?A．Become a Good Leader B．Set a Good TeamC．Frank’s problem D．Cindy’s Worry（2023·重庆大渡口·统考二模）①Walking around the city, you will see girls wearing hanfu on the underground or people wearing T-shirt with Chinese characters in the streets. A new trend（潮流）is getting popular in China. It’s guochao or China-Chic. Guochao adds traditional Chinese culture into products, and it shows the rise of China’s native fashion（时尚）.②Guochao got people’s attention in 2018. Before that, the market was controlled by foreign companies. There were few Chinese brands. To win the market share, many Chinese brands followed the footsteps of these western brands. In 2018, Chinese sportswear brand Li Ning made changes to the situation. It introduced its Wu Dao collection to the world. The collection not only looked fashionable, but also included elements of traditional Chinese culture. It quickly caught people’s attention at home and abroad. And it created amazing sales.③Later, many Chinese brands, from food, drinks and clothing to mobile phones and cars, started to add Chinese culture into their products. Even the film and music industries made every effort to create Chinese styles. “We want our products to be the ones that young people would like to share”, they said.④These brands got what they wanted. Young people gradually converted their attention from western culture to guochao. They accepted it with pleasure. What’s more they started to develop interest in traditional Chinese art and literature. Now they wear traditional clothes, practice Chinese calligraphy（书法）and play Chinese musical instruments. Some of them are working together to spread Chinese culture to people around the world.⑤At the same time, people of different ages start to choose products “made in China”. According to a survey, 68% Chinese people prefer Chinese brands. Among them, 62% say they are open to international brands, but local brands remain the first choice.⑥No matter how guochao develops, there is one thing that won’t change—people’s confidence in our country’sdevelopment and culture is growing.5．What can we learn about Chinese brand Li Ning from Paragraph 2?A．It increased the world market share before 2018.B．It always followed the footsteps of foreign brands.C．It started the trend of guochao around the world.D．It spent lots of time creating products with Chinese elements.6．The underlined word “converted” can be replaced by “________”.A．changed B．developed C．started D．improved7．Which is the structure of the passage?A．①-②-③④⑤-⑥B．①-②③-④⑤-⑥C．①-②③④-⑤-⑥D．①-②③④-⑤⑥8．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Guochao, A New Fashion Trend B．Young People’s Special LoveC．The Advantages of Local Brands D．The Development of Chinese Brands（2023·重庆大渡口·统考一模）Philip is a pupil.

He smelled bad.He walked to the door. When my mother appeared, he asked, “Lady, could you spare something to eat?”“I think so.

This is one of my Chinese teacher’s favorite Chinese idioms (习语), Deyuwangquan. It comes from Zhuangzi and the meaning of it is that you are used to getting help from others but don’t show your thanks to them.When I studied this idiom in the United States, I read traditional Chinese characters (汉字). The character for“fish” has four dots (点) at the bottom. However, when today’s Chinese students study this idiom, they read simplified (简化的) characters. The character for “fish” only has a line at the bottom. This simplified character is easier to write. However, why are the four dots replaced by a line, rather than something else? And how many of you have thought about this?This simplification of Chinese characters started in the 1950s. The purpose was to improve literacy (文学). Simplified characters are easier for people to read and write.However, they fear that over-simplifying Chinese characters may cause some cultural heritage (遗产) to be lost. The first four dots at the bottom of the character for “fish” come from even older characters. These characters not only mean fish but also look like a fish. There are hundreds of such characters in Chinese. Each of them has a story behind its meaning.Some people have suggested that schools should teach traditional characters. But Chinese is already among the most difficult languages to read and write. To save time, perhaps we should still learn and use simplified characters. However, traditional Chinese characters are valuable and should stay, too. You may take some time to learn about them and the stories behind. In this way, you will help pass down Chinese culture and also have some fun. 25．We can use the idiom “Deyuwangquan” to describe ________.A．Linda, who is warm-hearted and always ready to help othersB．Cindy, who always forgets things and makes everything a messC．John, who is interested in fishing but not very good at itD．Bob, who is successful but not thankful to those who helped him26．________ is the traditional character for “fish” which the writer first read in the US.A．B．C．D．27．From the passage, we can learn ________.A．Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to read and writeB．the simplification of Chinese characters started in the 1960sC．it takes more time to write simplified Chinese charactersD．it’s meaningless to pass down traditional Chinese characters28．The passage mainly tells us something about ________.A．Chinese history B．Chinese idioms C．Chinese characters D．Chinese teachers（2023·重庆江北·校考三模）There were many fantastic boats in South Lake.

Women were not allowed to have an education then. So Wang had to depend on teaching herself to meet her endless love for the world. Thankfully, her family supported her. Her grandfather shared with her a good collection of books and the basic rules of astronomy (天文学) while her father taught her math.At 16, she began to study something hard in astronomy and math on her own.
