专题 21 哲理感悟
（2022· 湖北襄阳·中考真题）A famous person once said, “We live much happier lives when we are
generous(慷慨的) in as many ways as possible.”
I love persimmons( 柿 子 ). A few years ago, ready to fly from San Francisco to Boston, I packed two
persimmons, one of which I ate in the waiting room. A lady asked me from which store in the airport the fruit was
bought. She looked a bit disappointed hearing that it couldn’t be bought from any store in this airport. I thought to
myself, “I can give the second persimmon away.” When I offered her the fruit, at first she refused, but when I
insisted (坚持), she became glad and accepted. I felt happy to make someone else happy, and I thought it was the
end of the story.
Sometime during the flight, the lady met me in the aisle(过道) and thanked me again. She shared that she had
grown up in Russia, where there was a persimmon tree in the yard of her childhood home. She now lived in
Boston, where she hadn’t been able to find the fruit. The taste of the persimmon was valuable to her, reconnecting
her with memories of her family.
Only then did the tiny act make a difference to me. As a famous saying goes, “_______” The taste of the
persimmon that I offered to the lady gives me more joy than all the ones I have eaten.
1．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

（2022·浙江衢州·中考真题）Alice was very excited. One of her favourite writers had just published a new
book. She had saved up her money, and she was ready to buy the book this weekend. She talked about the book
with her online chat（聊天）group. A lot of the other kids in the group were going to buy the book, too. In fact,
that was the main thing everyone in the chat room was talking about one afternoon.
All of a sudden, Alice got a chat message from Ella, one of the kids in the chat room. The message said that
Ella wanted to meet Alice at the bookstore. Then they could buy the new book together. Alice told her mum about
the message, and her mum asked, “Do you know Ella from school?”
“No,” Alice answered. “We’ve only chatted online. I don’t think she goes to my school.”
“Listen,” Alice`s mum was anxious and said, “I want you to have friends, but sometimes, people online
aren’t who they say they are. And when you’re online, you can’t always tell. So I don’t think it’s a good idea for
you to meet this person.”
“But, Mum,” Alice said, “what if it is just a kid named Ella who wants to buy a book with me?”
Alice’s mum considered that for a moment. Then she said, “Let’s do this. Dad and I will go with you to the
bookstore to buy the book with Ella. If Ella really is just a kid who wants to meet you in person, that`s great. If
not, ________.”
Alice didn`t like that idea. It made her feel like a baby. But she knew her mum was right about safety, so she
finally nodded. Then she answered Ella’s message. She told Ella that she and her parents would be at the
bookstore the next afternoon.
The next day, Alice went to the bookstore with her mum and dad. When Ella never showed up and then
disappeared from the chat room, Alice knew her parents were right. She was glad they were there to be with her.
4．What did Alice plan to do that weekend?
A．To buy a book with Ella. B．To talk with her parents.
C．To chat online with friends. D．To meet her favourite writer.
5．What does the underlined word “anxious” mean in the text?
A．Worried. B．Bored. C．Pleased. D．Interested.
6．Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank “________”?
A．we’ll say sorry to her B．you’ll lose all your money
C．we’ll take care of you D．you’ll miss a good chance
7．Which is a lesson from the text?
A．Don’t believe anyone except your parents. B．Always stay away from online chat groups.
C．Kids should not go out without their parents. D．We must pay attention to safety on the Internet.
（2022·北京·中考真题）A Pathway (路径) to Meaning in Life
When it comes to a meaningful life, we might think of love, happiness and health. A life filled with meaning
is what most of us want for ourselves. Then, what makes a meaningful life?
Many researchers agree that a meaningful life comes down to three factors ( 因素): having long-term goals,
believing that one’s life matters, and feeling that one’s life fits together and “makes sense”.
But we believe there is more to consider. Sometimes life enables us to experience small moments of beauty.
When people are open to appreciating ( 欣赏) such experiences, these moments may improve how they see their
own life. We call this experiential appreciation (EA). EA is about the person feeling connected to events and being
able to appreciate the value within the connection. It shows the discovery of and admiration for life’s beauty.
We recently set out to better understand EA in studies. We were interested in whether EA was also tied to
general judgment of meaning in life. If so, it could be a factor for meaningfulness.
In the first study, we had people rate (评估) their support for different methods of reducing stress. We found
that people who managed stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty also reported experiencing life
as highly meaningful.
In the next study, we asked people to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I
appreciate the beauty of life” and “I appreciate little things in life,” as well as other statements that related to the
three factors and a general sense of meaning in life. Our results showed that the more people reported that they
were “appreciating life” and its many experiences, the more they felt their life was valuable.
In the following studies, we further looked at the connection between EA and meaningfulness. For example,
we found that people who were asked to look back on the most meaningful event of the past week generally
reported high EA in those moments.
All the results proved our theory ( 假 设 ) true. But putting it into practice can be difficult. Our fast-paced
lifestyles fill the day with goals. We try to get the highest output both at work and in spare time. This focus on
future outcomes makes it all too easy to miss what is happening right now. We should slow down and let life
surprise us.
8．You were most probably in the EA condition when _________.
A．you made a travel plan for the coming holiday
B．you hurried to serve the customers in the store
C．you practiced hard to become the best violinist
D．you stopped to admire the roses by the roadside
9．What can we learn from the studies mentioned in the passage?
A．Thinking back to the past weakens our sense of meaning.
B．Enjoying small things can influence our attitude toward life.
C．Proper stress management is the key to living a satisfying life.
D．Good judgment on beauty improves connections among people.
10．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
