【英语】2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之四十(17页word版)
2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之四十 [一] Born in the State of New York on May 14th, 1984, Mark Zuckerberg was an instant success. In his high school years, he was considered one of top students in the classics, before moving into the arts, sciences, and literature, again picking up high marks and receiving academic praise. It earned him admission to Harvard University. As a rebellious yet relatively quiet student, he created a website called Facemash in the university — an instantly controversial website that encouraged students to rate each other based on appearance. The site was controversial for several reasons. The first was its illegal use of photographs, which the university and students took issue with. The second was its controversial nature — not every student like being ranked based on their appearance. The third was its huge resource use — while it was hosted on Harvard servers, it was the most popular page in the university’s entire network. Zuckerberg was soon forced to shut the site down, but its popularity and controversy had made him consider its future potential. He soon turned the simple site into a personal one for Harvard students, encouraging them to network with their peers at the college. It was then, together with his two friends, that they launched “The Facebook”, which immediately spread to other colleges and grew into a public service that anyone could access in the United States, whether to network with friends and family, or to play games. The company has been criticized frequently, nevertheless, Zuckerberg has remained true to his initial vision — to create a website that the entire world can use to communicate openly and easily with one another and to keep the user experience clean and pure. The end result is one of the world’s biggest online businesses. Although its true value is debatable, it’s safe to say that Facebook, and its creator Mark Zuckerberg, are two of the twentyfirst century’s most influential, controversial, and potentially powerful figures. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Facebook创始人Mark Zuckerberg在大学期间创建Facemash网站遭遇挫折,但后来走向成功的故事。 8.When Mark Zuckerberg was a student, he ________.

Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay, I_suddenly_had_the_feeling_of_not_being_able_to_feel_the_ground_with_my_feet_anymore. For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia’s Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine (海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world’s reefs are considered healthy. This statistic is depressing, so it’s important for us to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action. I’ve become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean’s species will all have a safe place forever. Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,作者旨在号召人们保护海洋生物。 5.From the underlined sentence in Para. 1, we can learn the author ________. A.seldom went surfing at the sea B.forgot his experiences about the ocean C.never went back to his hometown D.had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay 解析:选D 句意理解题。根据第一段第一、二句可知,作者非常喜欢海洋,画线句意为“我突然有了一种不想再踏上陆地的感觉”,说明Halfmoon Bay给作者留下了一个美好的印象。故选D。 6.According to the second paragraph, Australian marine life ________. A.is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually B.depends on reefs for living greatly C.may be faced with danger D.is protected better than that in other oceans 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的最后两句可推知,澳大利亚的海洋生物可能处在危险之中。故选C。 7.The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to ________. A.contribute to a complete ecosystem B.prevent more marine species being endangered C.set up a large nature reserve for reefs D.raise more teenagers’ environmental awareness 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean’s species will all have a safe place forever”可知,其目的是保护海洋生物免受危险。故选B。 8.Angus and the author create a little video to ________. A.urge more people to take action to protect the marine species B.inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean C.share their childhood experiences about the ocean D.bring back to people their memory of ocean species 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知,他们的目的是鼓励人们参与到保护海洋生物的行动中来。故选A。 [三] Dear Max, Your mother and I don’t yet have the words to describe the hope you give us for the future. We believe all lives have equal value, and that includes the many more people who will live in future generations than live today. Our society has an obligation to invest now to improve the lives of all those coming into this world, not just those already here. Our hopes for your generation focus on two ideas: advancing human potential and promoting equality. Today your mother and I are committing to spend our lives doing our small part to help solve these challenges. I will continue to serve as Facebook’s CEO for many, many years to come, but these issues are too important to wait until you or we are older to begin this work. By starting at a young age, we hope to see compounding benefits throughout our lives. As you begin the next generation of the Chan Zuckerberg family, we also begin the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to join people across the world to advance human potential and promote equality for all children in the next generation. Our initial areas of focus will be personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities. Over short periods of five or ten years, it may not seem like we’re making much of a difference. But over the long term, seeds planted now will grow, and one day, you or your children will see what we can only imagine. We will give 99% of our Facebook shares — currently about $45 billion — during our lives to advance this mission. We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, working alongside many others. 语篇解读:本文是Facebook总裁写给自己孩子的一封信。在这封信中,他主要是告诉女儿,所有的人,不管是活在世上的还是那些未出生的,都一样重要,他要为她和她这一代 人创造一个更好的世界而贡献出自己微薄的力量。 8.From the passage we can learn that the author is Max’s ________.

A.duty B.effort C.contribution D.ability 解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知,作者认为,所有的人,不管是活在世上的还是那些未出生的,都一样重要,因此社会有责任和义务去为改善所有人的生活而努力。由此可推知,“obligation”应意为“责任,义务”,与duty意思相近。故选A。 11.Through the letter, the author mainly wants to tell Max ________.

But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting. Her fortune is estimated at $100 million, more than many famous actors and musicians earn. So how did it all start? Grumpy Cat’s owner Tabatha Bundesen was working as a waitress when her brother Bryan decided to take a photo of her funnylooking cat and post it on Reddit, a social news site. In a matter of hours, she became a sensation (轰动). It got 1 million views on Imgur in 48 hours. Grumpy Cat’s real name is Tardar Sauce and she actually has a condition called dwarfism, which makes her constantly frowning. But that unique frown turned out to be worth millions of dollars. Tabatha, who lives in Arizona in the US, isn’t complaining. She still remembers that September 22, 2012, when her life turned upside down. Since her cat became a worldwide phenomenon, she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cat’s modeling career. Sounds unbelievable, but it’s true. She says that her only job now is to book Tardar’s photo shoots, commercials (商业广告), and other appearances. What are the other benefits of owning a milliondollar cat? Apart from not having to work, Tabatha can travel all the time. She has time and money to visit her family more often and enjoy her life. She never could have imagined just how huge her cat would become, but she always knew Tardar was very special. And she is glad to see her cat bringing joy to so many people around the world. As for the millions of dollars Tardar has earned, they come from all the products, commercials and a bestselling book. She even has her own movie Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了Grumpy Cat和她的主人Tabatha Bundesen的相关情况。 9.What does the underlined part “the Internet can’t get enough of her” mean?

B.Her bad temper. C.Her short and fat body. D.Her unique fur. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“take a photo of her funnylooking cat”和第五段中的“which makes her constantly frowning.

Back in Taiwan, whenever I had a streaming nose and a dry throat, I’d rush to the hospital to get prescribed medicine. For a fever, I would receive a red pill, which I now know is a type of antibiotic (抗生素). Another thing I know now is that the criminal behind my cold is a virus. The drugs I used only relieved the symptoms. When I went to a German hospital intending to get some medicine to treat my cold, I got nothing more than a pat on my shoulder and words from the doctor, saying that I should get some really good rest. The first time this happened, I was shocked. I wondered how I could put up with my sickness without the help of medicine. But the longer I stayed in Germany, the better I knew how to selfmedicate as other Germans do. I learned to take vitamin C to build up my resistance. But what I like the most is drinking “Erk ltungstee”. For German people, Erk ltungstee is what their grandmother gives them when they catch a cold. It’s a tea bag mainly made of lime flower and orange rind. Another popular cold remedy in Germany is chicken soup. During my first winter in Germany, I got a really bad cold. My neighbor brought me a bowl of chicken soup to make me feel better. It contained a lot of ginger, onion, garlic, carrots and celery. Germans believe these ingredients are perfect for helping your body recover. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者在德国如何应对感冒的故事。 1.How did the author feel after seeing the German doctor? A.Relieved. B.Surprised. C.Satisfied. D.Stressed. 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The first time this happened, I was shocked.”可知,作者第一次在德国看医生时,医生的应对方式让他很震惊。 2.According to the author, what effect do antibiotics have on his cold? A.They cure his cold. B.They prevent the disease. C.They kill the virus in him. D.They make him feel better. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段的第二句可推知,作者之前生病时所吃的抗生素只是缓解了感冒的症状,让他自己感觉好一些而已。 3.What do Germans think of “Erk ltungstee”? A.It can replace any cold remedy. B.It can build up one’s resistance. C.It’s a good way to selfmedicate. D.It’s better than chicken soup. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句并结合最后一段所列举的Erk ltungestee的例子可知,它是一种自我疗法。 4.What can we infer from the text? A.Germans tend not to use antibiotics to treat a cold. B.The author often catches a cold in Taiwan. C.The author seldom drinks chicken soup. D.German doctors are cold to patients. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第三段和最后一段的整体内容可知,德国人感冒后医生是不给开药的,而且德国人有自我疗法。由此可推知,德国人不会感冒了就去吃抗生素。 [六] “There’s a mother in PICU (儿童重症监护病房) who wants to talk about a kit she received,” the nurse told me. “Something about it made her cry.” I’ve been a childlife specialist at the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital since 2000. I help families understand diagnoses and treatment plans and manage the ups and downs that come with caring for a sick child. Tough talks with parents are part of the job, which still makes me feel nervous. The kits the nurse was talking about were something I had recently introduced to the hospital: Comfort Kits from Guideposts. They were supposed to make a child’s experience here easier, not upsetting. When I came across the kits at a conference, I fell in love with them. A treasure box of items designed not only to entertain kids, but to comfort and inspire them. There’s a coloring book, a stress ball, a CD of relaxing music, a hairy star named Sparkle, a journal and much more. I really believed these kits would help kids. I wished I hadn’t been mistaken. At the patient’s room in PICU I saw a little girl, sleeping soundly surrounded by tubes and machines. My eyes met her mother’s. The kit was open on her lap and tears were running down her cheeks. “I’m Shannon. I manage the Child Life Department,” I said. “I’m sorry if the kit upset you. It’s a new item ...” The mother shook her head. “This has been one of the worst days of my life. I felt so scared and alone. Then I was handed this box. I know it’s for my daughter, but it’s just the comfort I needed. I wanted to say thankyou.” With that I knew Comfort Kits belonged here. We’ve been using them for almost three years now. Each child who’s admitted to the hospital receives one. Every day I see kids coloring, journaling, playing with Sparkle. But as this mom showed me Comfort Kits aren’t just for kids. The hope they bring, which_can_be_in_short_supply_in_hospitals_sometimes,_is felt by the whole family. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。作为一名儿童医护专家,作者引进了一套工具,这套工具对患者及其家属产生了很大的影响。 9.The author introduced Comfort Kits to the hospital to ________. A.relax nurses B.benefit sick kids C.comfort parents D.cure kids of diseases 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知,作者引进那套工具是为了帮助患病的孩子们在医院里好过些,而且确实让孩子们受益不少,这与文章最后两段呼应。 10.Why was the girl’s mother crying? A.She was moved to tears. B.She felt alone and scared. C.She couldn’t wake her kid. D.She worried about her kid’s illness. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“I know it’s for my daughter, but it’s just the comfort I needed.”可推知,文中所提到的母亲之所以哭是因为她被感动了。 11.The closest meaning to “which can be in short supply in hospitals sometimes” is ________. A.kits are in great need in hospitals B.there may be lack of hope in hospitals C.parents are often in low spirits in hospitals D.medical supplies are not enough in hospitals 解析:选B 推理判断题。short supply = lack,表示供应不足或缺乏,再结合最后一段的最后一句可推知,此处表示医院中患者及其家庭可能缺乏希望。 12.What’s the author’s attitude towards Comfort Kits? A.Disappointed. B.Excited. C.Nervous. D.Confident. 解析:选D 观点态度题。根据第四段的最后两句“I really believed these kits would help kids. I wished I hadn’t been mistaken.”并结合最后一段的整体内容可推知,作者对Comfort Kits充满信心。 [七] The loneliest chimp (黑猩猩) in the world just got the best surprise — a hug from a new friend. Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years, finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago. For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso’s only company, visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread — the chimp’s only source of food on the tiny island. It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand. The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him, with his smile from ear to ear. For those who know Ponso’s backstory, his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising. Ponso was one of 20 chimps, all between the ages of 7 to 11 years old, relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing. After the tests were completed in 2005, the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands, occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps’ new homes. Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso, his mate and their two children standing. But at the end of 2013 they died within days and Ponso is now completely alone. A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp, already achieving its goal of 20,000 — all of which will be used for Ponso’s care. 语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述了一只用于实验但最后被抛弃在荒岛上的一只孤独的黑猩猩的故事。 4.What do we know about the chimp Ponso? A.He was deserted by his family. B.He found many sources of food. C.He came to the island for a test. D.He suffers from loneliness greatly. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的第一句并结合全文的整体内容可推知,Ponso很孤独。 5.How did Ponso feel about the visit of Estelle Raballand? A.Excited. B.Frightened. C.Embarrassed. D.Confused. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句可知,Estelle Raballand看望Ponso时,Ponso很激动,笑得合不拢嘴。 6.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The chimps’ new settlements. B.How Ponso came to the island. C.Why Ponso was used for a test. D.The medical test about chimps. 解析:选B 段落大意题。根据第三段的“For those who know Ponso’s backstory”以及本段的整体内容可推知,本段主要讲述了大猩猩Ponso是如何来到这个岛上的。 7.What can be inferred from the text? A.Germain won’t visit Ponso anymore. B.A new lab will be built on the island. C.Many people show concern for Ponso. D.More chimps will be brought to the island. 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的整体内容可知,帮助Ponso的筹款项目目标已经完成,由此可推知,人们对Ponso的状况很关心。 [八] It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War Ⅰ. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy” along twothirds of the Western Front. German troops held up Christmas trees with signs “Merry Christmas”. Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered with dead bodies. They sang Christmas songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high. Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood with each other and refusing to fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war. Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”, a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners’ response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it describes. You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different. 语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲述了一战期间,随着战争残酷性的加深,士兵的反战情绪日益高涨,一些士兵拒绝执行作战命令,战场上竟然出现了“圣诞休战”。 8.The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________. A.they couldn’t bear the meaningless killing B.it was the best way to avoid being killed C.they feared that they would be caught D.their enemies were from similar backgrounds 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的第二句可知,士兵因为厌烦毫无意义的杀戮,开始拒绝执行作战命令,并且开始和“敌人”交往。故选A。 9.How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers’ socialising? A.They sent the soldiers’ loved ones to prison. B.They moved the two groups of soldiers further apart. C.They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers. D.They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment. 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的第三、四句可知,将军对士兵进行了严厉的警告,违令者会被监禁甚至枪杀。故选D。 10.The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”. A.satisfied B.shocked C.amused D.confused 解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句可知,电台主持人播放了几次这首歌后,被听众的反应“震惊”了。故选B。 11.The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________. A.are not trustworthy under stress B.are naturally aggressive and warlike C.are basically caring and kindhearted D.will always do what is in their own selfinterest 解析:选C 写作意图题。本文主要讲述了一战期间,随着战争的残酷性加深,士兵的反战情绪日益高涨,一些士兵拒绝执行作战命令。本文旨在告诉我们:人们仁慈善良,从内心渴望世界和平。故选C。 [九] According to his GoFundMe page, Eddie Maltsby Jr. became blind when he was 11 due to sarcoidosis (肉状瘤病), a rare disease that affects many organs. However, Maltsby has committed to bringing light to people in need by playing music on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida, and donating what he can to them, WTSP reported. In addition to playing for the public, Maltsby also hosts a radio show on WRXB called “Blind Boy Radio”.While on air, the musician gives away groceries, cash and other goods to grateful callers. To date, Maltsby has donated D|S2,000, but his funds are running low — even with help from sponsors. That’s why he’s turning to the community for help. Maltsby has set up a GoFundMe campaign in the hope of collecting D|S25,000 to aid struggling people in the community. While Maltsby’s benevolent (慈善的) spirit is inspiring, it’s often the people with little to spare who demonstrate how easy it is to part with money. This past winter, for example, when Dominique HarrisonBentzen, a British student, didn’t have any way to get home, a homeless man gave her all the money he had — D|S4.60 — for a taxi. She returned the favor by setting up a fundraiser for the kind man, which has since collected more than 32,000 British pounds (over D|S50,000). “I hope my campaign will help people think a little more about the people around them,”HarrisonBentzen told The Mirror. “If people can see what I am doing then maybe they can take the time to just stop and talk to a homeless person, hear their story.” 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Eddie Maltsby Jr.因肉状瘤病而失去视力,但他依旧赚钱帮助他人。 4.What can be learned about Eddie Maltsby Jr.? A.He has collectedD|S25,000. B.He’s going to keep on giving. C.He was born with blindness. D.He plays music to earn a living. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“and donating what he can to them”和第二、三段的内容可知,他已经捐赠了很多钱物,并发起了GoFundMe运动,希望能筹到2 5000美元来帮助他人,由此可推知,Eddie Maltsby Jr.会继续付出,帮助他人。 5.Why does Eddie Maltsby Jr. ask for help? A.He earns less and less money. B.His funds have been used up. C.He needs more people to donate. D.His family give no support to his campaign. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To date, Maltsby has donated D|S2,000, but his funds are running low — even with help from sponsors. That’s why he’s turning to the community for help.”可知,Eddie Maltsby Jr.求助的原因是他的资金快花完了,即他需要更多的人捐款。 6.Which of the following words best describe Eddie Maltsby Jr.? A.Creative and determined. B.Talented and friendly. C.Cooperative and optimistic. D.Helpful and generous. 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Maltsby has committed to bringing light to people in need”和第二段的“While on air, the musician gives away groceries, cash and other goods to grateful callers”以及第四段的“Maltsby’s benevolent(慈善的)spirit”可知,Eddie Maltsby Jr.既乐于助人又大方。 7.Dominique HarrisonBentzen’s story is used to________. A.get people involved in community service B.prove that giving is indeed important C.encourage people to share and give D.show the poor are more willing to give 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“it’s often the people with little to spare who demonstrate how easy it is to part with money”和第五段中所举例子可知,作者用Dominique HarrisonBentzen的例子表明穷人更乐意付出——帮助别人。 [十] According to his GoFundMe page, Eddie Maltsby Jr. became blind when he was 11 due to sarcoidosis (肉状瘤病), a rare disease that affects many organs.

She returned the favor by setting up a fundraiser for the kind man, which has since collected more than 32,000 British pounds (over D|S50,000). “I hope my campaign will help people think a little more about the people around them,”HarrisonBentzen told The Mirror. “If people can see what I am doing then maybe they can take the time to just stop and talk to a homeless person, hear their story.” 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。Eddie Maltsby Jr.因肉状瘤病而失去视力,但他依旧赚钱帮助他人。 4.What can be learned about Eddie Maltsby Jr.?
