Meet Jack Rico. Age 10. Great reporter.
“Today is the day I get to break a big story(write and publish an important news report),” he told himself. Jack's dream is to get a report he's written in a famous newspaper. He needs to find the right person and ask the right questions.
Later at school, Jack was sitting next to Molly, his best friend. She didn't look too happy. “Best Friend In Sad Face,” said Jack. He sometimes talks in headlines(新闻标题). “What's up?” Molly handed him a newspaper she just bought. The headline wrote: Insects Closed Pool(泳池). People ran to close Norton Swimming Pool yesterday because the daily tests on water samples(样品) showed the illness Cryptosporidiosis(隐孢子虫病). The pool was closed at once.
“Great story,” said Jack.
“Glad you're seeing the good side,” said Molly.
“What's the matter?”
“The pool is where I train. There isn't another one for miles. It's the Under-11s swimming match in two weeks. If the pool stays closed, I've got no chance of winning.”
“A follow-up story,” said Jack, reaching for his notebook, “Girl's Swimming Match Destroyed By Insects. I'll write it and take it to the newspaper centre after school. I knew this would be the day I'd finally publish a story.”
“I'm glad losing my chance in the match makes you so happy.”
“I'm not happy about it,” said Jack. “But it's the news. I've got to report it. Just answer a few questions.”
“How does it feel to have your swimming match destroyed before it's even begun?”Jack asked.
Molly gave Jack an angry look.
“I'm not answering that,” she said angrily. “Report something that can get the pool re-opened if you want to be any help.”
Jack felt bad. He saw tears(眼泪) in Molly's eyes. After school, Jack didn't go to the newspaper centre. He sat on the chair, thinking. “I was a bad friend,” he said to himself.
The next day, Jack ran to Molly's house. “I have a new plan!” he said. “Reporter Helps Fix Pool Problem!”
Molly looked surprised. “How?”
“I'll write a story, but not about the problem,” Jack said. “I'll write about how kids need the pool. I'll ask people to help clean it. Maybe the newspaper will listen!”
Molly smiled. “That's a good story, my friend.”

答案
37. A [解析]细节理解题。根据“The pool is where I train. There isn't another one for miles. It's the Under-11s swimming match in two weeks. If the pool stays closed, I've got no chance of winning.”可知,泳池是她训练的地方,而附近没有其他泳池,她无法进行足够的训练,这会影响她在比赛中获胜。因此,莫莉难过是因为她不能得到足够的练习。故选 A。
38. C [解析]事件排序题。通读全文可知,首先,杰克一开始就决定“Today is the day I get to break a big story”(③);之后在学校遇到了莫莉,发现她因泳池关闭而感到难过(①);莫莉递给杰克一份关于泳池关闭的报纸(②);接着杰克想采访莫莉,问了她一些问题(④);最后杰克改变主意,想出了帮助泳池重开的计划,莫莉听后感觉好多了(⑤)。所以,事件发生的正确顺序是③①②④⑤。故选 C。
归纳总结 事件发展顺序(记叙文/故事类)的细节排序的解题技巧:
(1)题干形式:给出多个事件细节,要求按发生顺序排序。
(2)核心技巧:抓时间标志+逻辑链条。
(3)关键信号:
①显性时间词:“首先,然后,接着,最后”“昨天,今天,明天”。
②隐性逻辑词:“之前,之后,直到,于是”“起因,经过,结果”。
39. B [解析]句意理解题。根据“I'm not answering that”和“Report something that can get the pool re-opened if you want to be any help.”可知,莫莉生气是因为杰克只关注报道新闻,并没有支持她解决问题。所以,画线句表明莫莉因杰克不支持自己而生气。故选 B。
40. B [解析]主旨大意题。通读全文可知,杰克最初为了实现新闻梦想便想报道莫莉的困境,但看到朋友难过后,转而思考如何帮助她解决问题,最终通过写呼吁泳池重开的故事来支持莫莉,这体现了真正的朋友应该互相帮助。故选 B。

解析
【解析】
37. 细节理解题:根据文中“The pool is where I train. There isn't another one for miles. It's the Under-11s swimming match in two weeks. If the pool stays closed, I've got no chance of winning.”可知,泳池是Molly的训练场地,周边数英里没有其他泳池,泳池关闭后她无法获得足够的训练,因此感到难过。B选项“她因水生病”、C选项“比赛不允许她参加”、D选项“Jack在报纸上发表了报道”均不符合原文内容。
38. 事件排序题:通读全文梳理事件逻辑:①开篇Jack在心里决定今天要完成一则重大新闻报道(对应③);②之后Jack到学校发现Molly状态不好,Molly正因为泳池关闭的事难过(对应①);③随后Molly把刚买的关于泳池关闭的报纸递给Jack,Jack阅读了这则报道(对应②);④接着Jack拿出笔记本想要采访Molly,向她提出相关问题(对应④);⑤最后Jack想出新的报道计划,Molly听完后露出笑容,状态好转(对应⑤)。因此正确顺序为③①②④⑤。
39. 句意理解题:根据后文Molly生气地拒绝回答Jack的问题,还表示“如果你想帮上忙,就写点能让泳池重新开放的内容”,可知划线句是Molly的反讽,她因为Jack只想着完成自己的新闻报道、没有站在她的角度支持她而感到生气。A选项“Molly很乐意给Jack提供帮助”、C选项“Molly决定放弃游泳比赛”、D选项“Molly希望Jack帮忙重开泳池”均不符合划线句的表意逻辑。
40. 主旨大意题:通读全文可知,Jack最初为了实现发表新闻的梦想打算报道好友Molly的困境,意识到自己伤害了朋友后,转而策划能帮助泳池重新开放的报道来支持Molly,故事传递出真正的朋友应当互相帮助的道理。A选项“写好报道需要朋友的帮助”、C选项“当记者比拥有朋友更好”、D选项“坚持练习梦想就会实现”均不是本文的核心主旨。
