【英语】2019届高考英语二轮复习查缺补漏之阅读理解篇:人生感悟类

人生感悟类 ‎1   Have you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for quite often achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.‎ ‎   A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”‎ ‎   The boy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!‎ ‎   Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look at what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.‎ ‎1.The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be______.‎ A.brave B.impolite C.foolish D.warm-hearted ‎2.Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?‎ A.To drive them away. B.To show what he had found in digging. C.To show how beautiful the jar was. D.To attract them to join him in the work.‎ ‎3.What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?‎ A.No dream can come true. B.All work will end successfully. C.Goals shouldn’t be set too high. D.Goals will make us work harder.‎ ‎4.The best title for the text should be______.‎ ‎2、My First Marathon(马拉松)‎ ‎    A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.‎ ‎   I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".‎ ‎   The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!‎ ‎   The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.‎ ‎   Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!‎ ‎   At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"‎ ‎   By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.‎ ‎   By mile 21, I was starving!‎ ‎   As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.‎ ‎   I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.‎ ‎   Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".‎ ‎1.A month before the marathon, the author ____________. A.was well ‎ trained B.felt scared C.made up his mind to run D.lost hope 2.Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year? A.To acknowledge the support of his teacher. B.To amuse the readers with a funny story. C.To show he was not talented in sports. D.To share a precious memory. 3.How was the author’s first marathon? A.He made it. B.He quit halfway. C.He got the first prize. D.He walked to the end. 4.What does the story mainly tell us? A.A man owes his success to his family support. B.A winner is one with a great effort of will. C.Failure is the mother of success. D.One is never too old to learn.‎ ‎3、    I fondly remember road trips as a child, sitting in the sunny backseat of my mom's car, daydreaming about other worlds and fantastic adventures. As I’ve grown older, my daydreams have become increasingly occupied less with fantasy but more with the reality of my past and future. Nearly everyone daydreams about their future and reflects nostalgically (念旧地) or negatively on moments of the past. These moments can provide inspiration, but if you spend too much time daydreaming in this fashion, you may be reducing your success in the present.‎ ‎    If you've ever planned a vacation, you're familiar with the impatient days tapping at your desk, dreaming of the lazy, relaxing days to come. Unfortunately, sometimes you end up comparing the real vacation to your imagined one, and it doesn't live up to the standard. Reflecting nostalgically on the past can also prevent present enjoyment. It is equally fun to reflect on past achievements or ‎ fun events, but it's possible to be so consumed with happy memories that you miss opportunities to create more.‎ ‎    We've all made mistakes that we’re ashamed of; reflecting on them is an important step in correcting those mistakes and becoming a better person. But dwelling (细想)too long on your past can also be negative. If you dwell too long on a past mistake, you can begin to equate(使等同)yourself with your past and feel farther away from the person you want to be. Train your brain to think quickly about the past and future, and take only the information and inspiration that you need in order to be the best person you can without resting on your glory moments or your mistakes.‎ ‎    If your identity is not dependent on the past or future, every experience is new and every day is a blank page for you to write. A fun mental exercise is to always tell yourself that you’re experiencing things for the first time. So take advantage of each moment you’re given.‎ ‎1.What does the author think of daydreaming? A.It's the favorite for many kids. B.It can lead to fantastic adventures. C.It's the major source of inspiration. D.It has both strengths and weaknesses. 2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.Past achievements strongly influence us. B.It's important to be patient with our present life. C.Daydreaming may make the present disappointing. D.Reflecting nostalgically on the past brings us no pleasure. 3.What should we avoid doing according to Paragraph 3? A.Reflecting on the past. B.Resting on our past experiences. C.Thinking about our past mistakes. D.Feeling ashamed of our past mistakes. 4.What's the author's purpose in writing the text? A.To tell about her childhood. B.To tell how to let go the ‎ past. C.To suggest we focus on the present. D.To encourage us to learn from mistakes.‎ ‎4、    Anger is not wrong.I know this statement seems shocking and challenges the wildly popular “Positive Thinking” movement, which encourages us to “be full of positive energy” and  “let go of our anger”.However, the truth is that anger is just an emotion, and emotions are neither right nor wrong.We do not consciously choose them.We do, on the other hand, choose how we express our emotions and there are definitely right and wrong means of expression.‎ ‎    The reason we're often urged to “keep a lid on” our anger is that few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead, we are taught that “anger is wrong”and “you should keep your anger inside”.But these messages don't change the fact that, for most of us, anger exists.‎ ‎    Many popular “Positive Thinking” programmes assume that success comes from “controlling our emotions”and that this can be done by simply repeating positive statements.Interestingly,  these positive slogans often include a lot of negativity. “Only losers complain!I am a winner!” is one popular saying.The belief that those who disagree with us are losers is actually quite negative and is often used as an excuse for rude language and personal attacks.‎ ‎    When it comes to dealing with negative situations in our daily lives, the ability to reasonably express anger or disagreement is an important skill.But we must use balanced and  non-violent methods to express our dissatisfaction.Frustration at unfair policies or treatment can certainly cause anger, but our anger can never be an excuse for abusing family members,  damaging  schools, attacking doctors or most seriously, engaging in terrorism.‎ ‎    Instead of pretending that anger doesn't exist, we should start teaching appropriate means of dealing with anger.When we experience angry feelings in ourselves or others, what we should “let go of ” is the silly idea that we can remove anger with just  a few  sweet  words.Instead, we should find reasonable solutions to the causes of those angry feelings.We need to accept anger as a natural emotion but stop using it as an excuse for violent and destructive behaviour.Anger isn't wrong, but failure to deal with it appropriately is.‎ ‎1.What is the writer's opinion about the “Positive Thinking” movement? A.It can help people control their negative ‎ feelings. B.It does not offer useful solutions for dealing with anger. C.Following such advice can improve people's chances for success. D.Most of the people who participate in such programmes are dishonest. 2.The underlined expression “keep a lid on” in Paragraph  2 is closest in meaning to “________”. A.freely express B.always forgive C.hold inside D.completely forget 3.What information would have been useful to add to the final paragraph? A.The names of some good books that talk about anger issues. B.The viewpoints of people who hold the opposite opinion to the writer. C.Different studies that provide some evidence supporting the writer's beliefs. D.Some examples of how to deal with anger in a positive and beneficial way. 4.The content of this passage is mostly based on________. A.fact B.opinion C.theory D.story ‎5、    I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.‎ ‎    The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.‎ ‎    A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand ‎ five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.‎ ‎    Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.‎ ‎    Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.‎ ‎    We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.‎ ‎1.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________. A.keep ourselves busy B.get absent-minded C.grow anxious D.stay focused 2.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait? A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control. B.The Forced Wait makes people passive. C.The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions. D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.‎ ‎3.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?‎ A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait. B.It doesn't always bring the desired result. C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait. D.It doesn't give people faith and hope.‎ ‎4.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?‎ A.Take it seriously. B.Don't rely on ‎ others. C.Do something else. D.Don’t lose heart. 5.The author supports his view by ____________. A.exploring various causes of "waits" B.describing detailed processes of "waits" C.analyzing different categories of "waits" D.revealing frustrating consequences of "waits"‎ ‎6、    When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda went up my nose.‎ ‎    I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地).‎ ‎    I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser. She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.‎ ‎    I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.‎ ‎1.Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time? A.He was talking fast. B.He was shocked. C.He was in a ‎ hurry. D.He was absent-minded. 2.Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley? A.He enjoyed the drink. B.He wanted to be helpful. C.He took the chance to rest. D.He tried to please his dad. 3.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system” in Paragraph 2? A.Recover from her sadness. B.Move out of the neighborhood. C.Turn to her old friends. D.Speak out about her past.‎ ‎4.What does the author think people in a community should do?‎ A.Open up to others. B.Depend on each other. C.Pay for others’ help. D.Care about one another.‎ ‎7、    Ammie Reddick from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, was only 18 months old when she had the accident that had scarred(留下创伤) her for life. The curious child reached up to grab the wire of a hot kettle in the family kitchen and poured boiling water over her tiny infant frame.     Her mother Ruby turned round and, seeing Ammie horribly burnt, called an ambulance which rushed her daughter to a nearby hospital. Twenty percent of Ammie’s body had been burned and all of her burns were third-degree. There, using tissue(组织) taken from unburned areas of Ammie’s body, doctors performed complex skin transplants(移植) to close her wounds and control her injuries, an operation that took about six hours. Over the next 16 years, Ammie underwent 12 more operations to repair her body.     When she started school at Maxwelton Primary at age 4, other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her. “I was the only burned child in the street, the class and the school,” she recalled, “some children refused to become friends because of that.”‎ ‎     Today, aged 17, Ammie can only ever remember being a burned person with scars; pain is a permanent part of her body. She still has to have two further skin transplants. Yet she is a confident, outgoing teenager who offers inspiration and hope to other young burns victims.     She is a member of the Scottish Burned Children’s Club, a charity set up last year. This month, Ammie will be joining the younger children at the Graffham Water Center in Cambridge shire for the charity’s first summer camp. “I’ll show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others.” she says. Ammie loves wearing fashionable sleeveless tops, and she plans to show the youngsters at the summer camp that they can too. “I do not go to great lengths to hide my burns scars,” she says, “I gave up wondering how other people would react years ago.” 1.What did other children do when Ammie first went to school? A.They were friendly to her. B.They showed sympathy to her. C.They were afraid of her. D.They looked down upon her. 2.Ammie will teach the younger children at the Graffham Water Center to                . A.face others’ unkindness bravely B.hide their scars by proper dressing C.live a normal life D.recover quickly 3.What can be the best title of the passage? A.A Seriously Burned Girl Survives B.Ways to Get Rid of Unkind Stares C.Permanent Scars and Pain for a Girl D.A Seriously Burned Angel of Hope ‎8、    We all know some great people in our lives. So what makes them so great? Dr Kimbro, author of the book What Makes the Great Great, believes that being great depends on a promise of making dreams come true. He writes in his book,“All high achievers make choices,not excuses." We all have a million excuses for the failure of something, but only some go on to achieve their goals in life.‎ ‎    Here are some other important things that make great people great.‎ ‎    If you wish to achieve greatness, you should be willing to work your butt off. As Margaret Thatcher puts it beautifully, "I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to the top, but should get you pretty near."‎ ‎    Practice and you shall get there. We learn things by practicing, be it walking, dancing, or even brushing our teeth. We do these things again and again until we become good at them. Great people practice like there’s no tomorrow.‎ ‎    Your critics(批评者) do you the biggest favor. They fuel you to do better. Every great person has his or her critics, who think the worse about them and doubt their talent. “Criticism may not be agreeable,but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things,” Winston Churchill once said.‎ ‎    All great people have one thing in common. They all have been selfless in their services to others. That was their intention(意图) all along: to serve others and to help them overcome difficulties. As Martin Luther King said, “Not everybody can be famous but. everybody can be great, because greatness is determined by service."‎ ‎    When the time comes, be ready to lead. That is what separates(区分) the weak from the strong. Great people are not just about talking. They actually jump in when the need appears.‎ ‎1.What does the author want to show by mentioning Margaret Thatcher's words? A.Hard work is very important. B.Not everyone can get to the top. C.We should have the right method. D.Almost everyone around her works hard. 2.What does Winston Churchill think of criticism? A.Unavoidable. B.Important. C.Disappointing. D.Annoying. 3.What does the author think separates the weak from the strong? A.Accepting criticism. B.Being critics to ‎ others. C.Holding on to promises. D.Leading the weak when needed.‎ A.A Boy Dug a Hole B.Joy in the Journey C.No Pain, No Gains D.Failure Is the Mother of Success ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 答案以及解析 ‎1答案及解析:‎ 答案: 1.C; 2.B; 3.D; 4.A 解析: 设定的目标一定要成功吗?未必!文章给我们讲述的就是这样一个道理。‎ ‎【小题1】推理题。根据第二段第三行The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.可知他们认为这个男孩在做不可能的事情,一定是愚蠢的。‎ ‎【小题2】细节题。根据第二段最后两行。“Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”‎ ‎【小题3】段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知有了目标可以让我们 keep working。‎ ‎【小题4】主旨大意题。文章号召我们设定目标,然后为之努力,不一定会成功,但是有了目标可以让我们更加努力认真。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎2答案及解析:‎ 答案:1.C; 2.C; 3.A; 4.B 解析:‎ 本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了自己第一次跑马拉松,凭借自己的意志力成功跑完全程的励志故事。‎ ‎1. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Yet, I was determined to go ahead.可知,马拉松赛前一个月尽管作者脚踝受伤使得训练时间缩短,但作者仍下定决心参赛。故选C。‎ ‎2. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic"可知,作者提到7年级的事情是为了证明自己真的没有运动天赋。故选C。‎ ‎3. 细节理解题。根据文章第10段I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知,作者坚持到了最后,而且得到了一块奖牌,虽然不是第一名,由此可见他成功地跑完了马拉松。故选A。‎ ‎39. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者在讲述自己跑马拉松的经历,再根据最后一段Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a "marathon winner".可知,作者成功跑完马拉松源于自己的意志。故选B。‎ 点睛:文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持,这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要,同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章,以获得某些特定的信息,或准确地寻求所需的细节,并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为:(1)一一对应型。(2)语言转述型。(3)语意理解型。(4)是非辨别型。(5)事实排序型。‎ 此题中的前三题为细节理解题。细节理解题首先要根据题干准确定位信息句,其次要对信息句进行准确的理解和判断,如第一题为转述型,I was determined to go ahead即made up his mind to run。第二题为语义理解题。根据文章第二段的信息In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well.可知,作者没有运动天赋。而第三题则为转述型,根据信息句I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.可知,作者跑完了马拉松,正好与made it 意义相同。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎3答案及解析:‎ 答案:1.D; 2.C; 3.B; 4.C 解析:1.推理判断题。根据第一段的Nearly everyone daydreams ... your success in the present.可知幻想很正常,但是这样做既有好处也有坏处。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段的Unfortunately, sometimes you end up ... live up to the standard.可知幻想可能会让我们现在的生活显得令人失望。 3.细节理解题。根据第三段的take only the information and inspiration ... your mistakes.可知我们不能长时间地沉浸于过去的光辉。 4.写作意图题。根据文章内容,可知主要是讲我们不能沉浸于幻想和过去,而应该活在当下。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎4答案及解析:‎ 答案:1.B; 2.C; 3.D; 4.B 解析:1.细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知,作者认为“Positive Thinking”只不过是让人重复积极的话,有时还会有消极作用,对解决愤怒问题没有帮助。故选B项。 2.短语猜测题。根据画线短语后“few people ever learn proper and positive ways to express anger.Instead, we are taught that‘anger is wrong’and‘you should keep your anger inside’.”可知,此处是让人们隐藏愤怒的意思。故选C项。 3.推理判断题。最后一段主要论述了我们应该妥善地处理愤怒,所以接下来应该会介绍一些具体的处理愤怒的方法、例子等。故选D项。 4.写作手法题。分析文章内容可知,本文是基于作者的个人见解。对“Positive Thinking”和正确处理愤怒的方法展开论述的,故选B项。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎5答案及解析:‎ 答案:1.B; 2.A; 3.B; 4.D; 5.C 解析:1.细节理解题。第二段对Walched-Pot Wait进行了具体的描述。由第二段倒数第二句中的“…the brain slips away from the body and wanders about...”可知,人们在这样的等待中容易走神,故选B。 2.细节理解题.根据第三段第二句“ This one requires a bit of discipline.”可知,A 项中的“requires some self-control”与之相符,故选 A。 3.细节理解题。第四段对Lucky-Break Wait作了详细的描述,本段最后一句中的“waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen”表明,这种等待不一定会带来预期的结果,故选B。 4.细节理解题,根据题干中的the next time可知,本题细节出现在最后一段.根据最后一段第二句“The next time...don’t be desperate.” 可知,作者建议我们在等待时不要绝望,故选D。 5.推理判断题,本文分析了日常生活中的三种等待。故选C项。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎6答案及解析:‎ 答案:1.B; 2.B; 3.A; 4.D 解析:1.推理判断题.根据第二段Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband. "Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say.可推测,作者第一次听到Mrs.‎ ‎ Stanley说这些话时是极为震惊的。 故选B。 2.推理判断题:根据第三段Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile 可知,作者倾听Mrs. Stanley 说话是为了帮助她。故选B. 3.词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地)可知,Mrs. Stanley看来已从失去丈夫的悲痛中走了出来,说明画线部分的意思“从悲伤中恢复过来”。故选A。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care,and not because they’re getting paid to do so,以及本文所讲的故事 作者以前关心Mrs. Stanley,后来又被自家的送报员所关心,由此可推断作者想要表明的观点:社区邻里间应该相互关心。故选D。 误解分析:不能误选A项。open up to others意为 “对别人敞开心扉”。心扉指的是心的门扇,比喻人的内心。敞开心扉是指在一个人面前把自己的心毫无隐瞒地表现出来,也指分享自己的心情,是一种乐观开朗的表现。而文中作者通过自身的经历告诉我们要相互关心。‎ 全文翻译 ‎    四年级的时候,我兼职做报童。斯坦利太太是我的顾客之一。她会看着我走到她所居住的大街,走到她家门前时,会给我准备一杯冷饮。她讲话时我总会坐着喝冷饮。‎ ‎    斯坦利太太讲述的内容多是关于她死去的丈夫。 “今天早上斯坦利先生和我去购物了。”她说道。她第一次这样说时,我大为吃惊。‎ 我告诉父亲,斯坦利太太说话的样子似乎斯坦利先生还活着。爸爸说她可能很孤独,我应该坐着听, 还得不时地点头微笑,这样也许她会从失去丈夫的悲痛中恢复过来。于是我那样做了,结果证明爸爸是对的。不久后,斯坦利太太似乎把丈夫遗忘在了墓地。‎ ‎    我终于不再送报纸了,几年来也没见过斯坦利太太。然后在一个教堂募捐活动的现场,斯坦利太太和我不期而遇。她正在舀土豆泥,看起来很高兴。四年前,为了与人交谈,她还不得已为报童提供一杯饮料。 现在,她有朋友了。她的丈夫去世了,但生活还得继续。‎ ‎    现在,我住在城里,我的报童是一个叫埃德娜的女士,她有三个孩子。她问我近况怎样。当我没有说 “好”的时候,她就会坚持倾听我的问题。她一生大部分时间都住在城市,但她了解社区。与其说社区是一个地方,倒不如说它是一种心境。每当有人因为关心而问你日子过得怎么样而不是因为要得到报酬而做这些时,你会感到这一点。有时只是笑一笑,点点头, 听一听就好了。‎ ‎ ‎ ‎7答案及解析:‎ 答案:1.D; 2.A; 3.D 解析:1.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“ other pupils made cruel comments or simply wouldn’t play with her” 可知,其他同学不是对她冷嘲热讽,就是不愿意跟她一起玩,故D项符合题意。 2.细节理解题.根据最后一段“I will show them how to get rid of unkind stares from others,'"可知,Ammie教他们如何对他人不友好的注视嗤之以鼻,故A项符合题意。 3.主旨大意题.纵观全文,可以看出本文主要讲述了一个被烧伤的女孩的身残志坚的励志故事,故D项符合题意。误解分析:学生会误选C项,“给一个女孩的永久性的伤疤和痛苦”,虽然文中提到了儿时的事故给Ammie带来了永久性的伤害,也给她的童年带来了阴影,但是作者写这篇文章主要是宣扬积极的励志故事,故C项不符合题意。 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎8答案及解析:‎ 答案:1.A; 2.B; 3.D 解析:1.细节理解题。根据第三段的I do not know anyone who has got to the top without hard work. That is the recipe. It will not always get you to ihe top, but should get you pretty near. 可知,撒切尔夫人所说的话主要强调了努力的重要性。 2.推理判断题。根据第五段的Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things可知,丘吉尔认为别人的指责对我们很重要。 3.细节理解题。根据末段的When the time comes,be ready to lead. That is what separates the weak from the strong•可知, 强者跟弱者的区别在于强者在必要的时候能勇于站出来帮助弱者,领导他们。‎ ‎ ‎
