‎2018届 阅读理解真题分体裁训练：20篇记叙文 一 (2016 · 新课标Ⅰ，C)‎ 主题：特别的旅程　词数：252‎ I am Peter Hodes，a volunteer stem cell courier．Since March 2012，I've done 89 trips—of those，51 have been abroad.I have 42 hours to carry stem cells (干细胞) in my little box because I've got two ice packs and that's how long they last.In all，from the time the stem cells are harvested from a donor(捐献者) to the time they can be implanted in the patient，we've got 72 hours at most. So I am always conscious of time.‎ I had one trip last year where I was caught by a hurricane in America. I picked up the stem cells in Providence，Rhode Island，and was meant to fly to Washington then back to London.But when I arrived at the checkin desk at Providence，the lady on the desk said: “Well，I'm really sorry，I've got some bad news for you—there are no flights from Washington.” So I took my box and put it on the desk and I said: “In this box are some stem cells that are urgently needed for a patient—please，please，you've got to get me back to the United Kingdom.” She just dropped everything.She arranged for a flight on a small plane to be held for me，rerouted (改道) me through Newark and got me back to the UK even earlier than originally scheduled.‎ For this courier job，you're consciously aware that in that box you've got something that is potentially going to save somebody's life.‎ ‎1．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “courier” in Paragraph 1?‎ A．provider B．delivery man C．collector D．medical doctor ‎2．Why does Peter have to complete his trip within 42 hours?‎ A．He cannot stay away from his job too long.‎ B．The donor can only wait for that long.‎ C．The operation needs that much time.‎ D．The ice won't last any longer.‎ ‎3．Which flight did the woman put Peter on first?‎ A．To London. B．To Newark.‎ C．To Providence. D．To Washington.‎ 二 (2016 · 新课标Ⅱ，B)‎ 主题：启发学生的创造性　词数：279‎ Five years ago，when I taught art at a school in Seattle，I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student，and said：“Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.”‎ A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.‎ Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I was delighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.His presence meant that I had an unexpected ‎ teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染)other students.‎ Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside．I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare，“But I'm just not creative.”‎ ‎“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”‎ ‎“Oh，sure.”‎ ‎“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads.“That's pretty creative.Who does that for you？”‎ ‎“Nobody. I do it.”‎ ‎“Really—at night，when you're asleep？”‎ ‎“Sure.”‎ ‎“Try doing it in the daytime，in class，okay？”‎ ‎1．The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________.‎ A．know more about the students B．make the lessons more exciting C．raise the students' interest in art D．teach the students about toy design ‎2．What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?‎ A．He liked to help his teacher.‎ B．He preferred to study alone.‎ C．He was active in class.‎ D．He was imaginative.‎ ‎3．What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A．Mistake.　　　　　　　　B．Drawback.‎ C．Difficulty. D．Burden.‎ ‎4．Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?‎ A．To help them to see their creativity.‎ B．To find out about their sleeping habits.‎ C．To help them to improve their memory.‎ D．To find out about their ways of thinking.‎ 三 (2016 · 新课标Ⅱ，D)‎ 主题：照片的意义　词数：272‎ A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.‎ Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly firstrate photojournalism—if they had been made last week.In fact，they were shot from 1914 through 1916，most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难)，by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest，under freezing water，in the damaged wooden ship.‎ The ship was the Endurance，a small，tight，Norwegianbuilt threemaster that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists，27 men in all，to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇)across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.‎ As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and wellresearched story The Endurance，adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey，completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger，caught the world's imagination，and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton，a onetime British merchantnavy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908，started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley，a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic，was hired to make the images，most of which have never before been published.‎ ‎1．What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?‎ A．They were made last week.‎ B．They showed undersea sceneries.‎ C．They were found by a cameraman.‎ D．They recorded a disastrous adventure.‎ ‎2．Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?‎ A．Frank Hurley. B．Ernest Shackleton.‎ C．Robert Falcon Scott. D．Caroline Alexander.‎ ‎3．What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?‎ A．Artistic creation. B．Scientific research.‎ C．Money making. D．Treasure hunting.‎ 四 (2016 · 新课标Ⅲ，B)‎ 主题：偶遇　词数：301‎ On one of her trips to New York several years ago，Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner.They settled in at a comfortable East Side ‎ cafe and within minutes，another customer was approaching their table.‎ ‎“Hey，aren't you from Mississippi？” the elegant，whitehaired writer remembered being asked by the stranger.“I'm from Mississippi too.”‎ Without a second thought，the woman joined the Welty party.When her dinner partner showed up，she also pulled up a chair.‎ ‎“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi，” Welty said.“I didn't know what my New York friends were thinking.”‎ Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine.By the time the group got up to leave，it was pouring outside.Welty's new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab.Heading back downtown toward her hotel，her bigcity friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚)．‎ ‎“My friend said: ‘Now we believe your stories，’” Welty added.“And I said: ‘Now you know.These are the people that make me write them．’”‎ Sitting on a sofa in her room，Welty，a slim figure in a simple gray dress，looked pleased with this explanation.‎ ‎“I don't make them up，” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years.“I don't have to.”‎ Beauticians，bartenders，piano players and people with purple hats，Welty's people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends，from walks through the streets of her native Jackson，Miss.，from conversations overheard on a bus.It annoys Welty that，at 78，her left ear has now given out.Sometimes，sitting on a bus or a train，she hears only a fragment(片断)of a particularly interesting story.‎ ‎1．What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?‎ A．Two strangers joined her.‎ B．Her childhood friends came in.‎ C．A heavy rain ruined the dinner.‎ D．Some people held a party there.‎ ‎2．The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty's ________.‎ A．readers B．parties C．friends D．stories ‎3．What can we learn about the characters in Welty's fiction?‎ A．They live in big cities.‎ B．They are mostly women.‎ C．They come from real life.‎ D．They are pleasure seekers.‎ 五 (2016 · 天津，B)‎ 主题：父与子　词数：350‎ Every man wants his son to be somewhat of a clone，not in features but in footsteps. As he grows you also age，and your ambitions become more unachievable. You begin to realize that your boy，in your footsteps，could probably accomplish what you hoped for. But footsteps can be muddied and they can go off in different directions.‎ My son Jody has hated school since day one in kindergarten. Science projects waited until the last moment.Book reports weren't written until the final threat.‎ I've been a newspaperman all my adult life.My daughter is a university graduate working toward her master's degree in English.But Jody？When he entered the tenth grade he became a “votech” student (技校学生)．They're called “motorheads” by the rest of the student body.‎ When a secretary in my office first called him “motorhead”，I was shocked.“Hey，he's a good kid，” I wanted to say.“And smart，really.”‎ I learned later that motorheads are，indeed，different.They usually have dirty hands and wear dirty work clothes. And they don't often make school honor rolls (光荣榜)．‎ But being the parent of a motorhead is itself an experience in education. We who labor in clean shirts in offices don't have the abilities that motorheads have.I began to learn this when I had my car crashed.The cost to repair it was estimated at $800.“Hey，I can fix it，” said Jody.I doubted it，but let him go ahead，for I had nothing to lose.‎ My son，with other motorheads，fixed the car.They got parts(零件)from a junkyard，and ability from votech classes.The cost was $25 instead of $800.‎ Since that first repair job，a broken airconditioner，a nonfunctioning washer and a nontoasting toaster have been fixed. Neighbors and coworkers trust their car repairs to him.‎ These kids are happiest when doing repairs.They joke and laugh and are living in their own relaxed world.And their minds are bright despite their dirty hands and clothes.‎ I have learned a lot from my motorhead: publishers need printers，engineers need mechanics，and architects need builders. Most important，I have learned that fathers don't need clones in footsteps or anywhere else.‎ My son may never make the school honor roll. But he made mine.‎ ‎1．What used to be the author's hope for his son?‎ A．To avoid becoming his clone.‎ B．To resemble him in appearance.‎ C．To develop in a different direction.‎ D．To reach the author's unachieved goals.‎ ‎2．What can we learn about the author's children?‎ A．His daughter does better in school.‎ B．His daughter has got a master's degree.‎ C．His son tried hard to finish homework.‎ D．His son couldn't write his book reports.‎ ‎3．The author let his son repair the car because he believed that ________.‎ A．his son had the ability to fix it B．it would save him much time C．it wouldn't cause him any more loss D．other motorheads would come to help ‎4．In the author's eyes，motorheads are ________.‎ A．tidy and hardworking B．cheerful and smart C．lazy but bright D．relaxed but rude ‎5．What did the author realize in the end?‎ A．It is unwise to expect your child to follow your path.‎ B．It is important for one to make the honor roll.‎ C．Architects play a more important role than builders.‎ D．Motorheads have greater ability than office workers.‎ 六 (2016 · 北京，A)‎ 主题：感谢信　词数：450‎ December 15，2014‎ Dear Alfred，‎ I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.‎ Growing up，I had people telling me I was too slow，though，with an IQ of 150＋at 17，I'm anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADHD (注意力缺陷多动障碍)．Anxious all the time，I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.‎ However，when something did interest me，I could become absorbed.In high school，I became curious about the computer，and built my first website.Moreover，I completed the senior course of Computer Basics，plus five relevant precollege courses.‎ While I was exploring my curiosity，my disease got worse.I wanted to go to college after high school，but couldn't.So，I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.‎ Since then，I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently，I'm learning your Probability course.I have hundreds of printer paper，covered in selfwritten notes from your videos.This has given me a purpose.‎ Last year，I spent all my time looking for a job where，without dealing with the public，I could work alone，but still have a team to talk to.Luckily，I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession，without going to college，and be just as ‎ good as，if not better than，my competitors.‎ Thank you.You've given me hope that I can follow my heart.For the first time，I feel good about myself because I'm doing something，not because someone told me I was doing good.I feel whole.‎ This is why you're saving my life.‎ Yours，‎ Tanis ‎1．Why didn't Tanis go to

(2016 · 北京，B)‎ 主题：小女孩的“大”作为　词数：421‎ Surviving Hurricane Sandy (飓风桑迪)‎ Natalie Doan，14，has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway，New York.Living just a few blocks from the beach，Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house.“It's the ocean that makes Rockaway so special，” she says.‎ On October 29，2012，that ocean turned fierce.That night，Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast，and Rockaway was hit especially hard.Fortunately，Natalie's family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city's bridges closed.‎ When they returned to Rockaway the next day，they found their neighborhood in ruins.Many of Natalie's friends had lost their homes and were living far away.All around her，people were suffering，especially the elderly.Natalie's school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.‎ In the following few days，the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys.Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild.Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless highrise buildings.‎ ‎“My mom tells me that I can't control what happens to me，” Natalie says，“but I can always choose how I deal with it.”‎ Natalie's choice was to help.‎ She created a website page，matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help.Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick，who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down.Within days，Patrick's collection was ‎ replaced.‎ In the coming months，her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher，who received a new basketball；Charlie，who got a new keyboard.Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring muchneeded supplies to Rockaway.Her efforts made her a famous person.Last April，she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.‎ Today，the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway，but

came for a weekend to Sarasota，Florida，my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”．I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C (维生素C)，thinking of beaches and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air，I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools，wine tasting，and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours，not 4 in the afternoon)filled the weekend，but the best part—particularly to my taste，dulled by months of coldweather root vegetables—was a 7 a．m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers' market that proved to be more than worth the early wakeup call.‎ The market，which was founded in 1979，sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a．m.to 1 p．m.，rain or shine，along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the redpainted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck；and most of all，the tomatoes: amazing，large，soft and round red tomatoes.‎ Disappointed by many a broken，vineripened (蔓上成熟的) promise，I've refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store，once I get them home they're unfailingly dry，hard，and tasteless. But I homed in，with uncertainty，on one particular table at the Brown's Grove Farm's stand，full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal—and at that moment，I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn't be experiencing again for months.‎ Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight，my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown's Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty，a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton，where—luckily for me—I was planning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu，I knew I'd be ordering every tomato on it.‎ ‎1．What did the author think of her winter life in New York?‎ A．Exciting. B．Boring.‎ C．Relaxing. D．Annoying.‎ ‎2．What made the author's getting up early worthwhile?‎ A．Having a swim.‎ B．Breathing in fresh air.‎ C．Walking in the morning sun.‎ D．Visiting local farmers' market.‎ ‎3．What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?‎ A．They are soft. B．They look nice.‎ C．They taste great. D．They are juicy.‎ ‎4．What was the author going to do that evening?‎ A．Go to a farm. B．Check into a hotel.‎ C．Eat in a restaurant. D．Buy fresh vegetables.‎ 九 (2015 · 新课标Ⅱ，A)‎ 主题：让人郁闷的彩色电视机　词数：277‎ My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventyfive dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed_off for the night. Fortunately，I didn't get any channels showing allnight movies or I would never have gotten to bed.‎ Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles (肌肉) shaking my set.‎ When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble.‎ ‎1．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?‎ A．He got an older model than he had expected.‎ B．He couldn't return it when it was broken.‎ C．He could have bought it at a lower price.‎ D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.‎ ‎2．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?‎ A．Ended all their programs.‎ B．Provided fewer channels.‎ C．Changed to commercials.‎ D．Showed allnight movies.‎ ‎3．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?‎ A．By shaking and hitting it.‎ B．By turning it on and off.‎ C．By switching channels.‎ D．By having it repaired.‎ ‎4．How does the author sound when telling the story?‎ A．Curious. B．Anxious. C．Cautious. D．Humorous.‎ 十 (2015 · 安徽，B)‎ 主题：家庭团结的力量　词数：310‎ When her five daughters were young，Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结)．To show this，she held up one chopstick，representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.‎ Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California.However，when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother，Diana，who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards，Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However，Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.‎ Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves，but one by one，the daughters returned to work in the family business.They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles.Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other，they worked together to make the business successful.Daughter Elisabeth explains，“Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity，and to have unity we must have peace.Without the strength of the family，there is no business.”‎ Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996，with three generations of Ans working together.Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year.Although they began with a small restaurant，they had big dreams，and they worked together.Now they are a big success.‎ ‎1．Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ________.‎ A．the strength of family unity ‎ B．the difficulty of growing up C．the advantage of chopsticks ‎ D．the best way of giving a lesson ‎2．We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ________.‎ A．started a business in 1975 ‎ B．left Vietnam without much money C．bought a restaurant in San Francisco ‎ D．opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles ‎3．What can we infer about the An daughters?‎ A．They did not finish their college education.‎ B．They could not bear to work in the family business.‎ C．They were influenced by what Helene taught them.‎ D．They were troubled by disagreement among family members.‎ ‎4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?‎ A．How to Run a Corporation ‎ B．Strength Comes from Peace C．How to Achieve a Big Dream D．Family Unity Builds Success 十一 (2015 · 福建，B)‎ 主题：父亲的教育　词数：445‎ Papa，as a son of a dirtpoor farmer，left school early and went to work in a factory，for education was for the rich then. So，the world became his school.With great interest，he read everything he could lay his hands on，listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown.“There's so much to learn，” he'd say.“Though we're born stupid，only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.‎ Thus，Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though，as children，we thought this was crazy，it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa ‎ a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day；no matter how insignificant，it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment，always to the point.‎ Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning.‎ Papa，at the head of the table，would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine，ready to listen.‎ ‎“Felice，” he'd say，“tell me what you learned today.”‎ ‎“I learned that the population of Nepal is...”‎ Silence.‎ Papa was thinking about what was said，as if the salvation(拯救)of the world would depend upon it.“The population of Nepal.Hmm.Well...” he'd say.“Get the map；let's see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.‎ This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn.Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.‎ As children，we thought very little about these educational wonders.Our family，however，was growing together，sharing experiences and participating in one another's education.And by looking at us，listening to us，respecting our input，affirming(肯定)our value，giving us a sense of dignity，Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.‎ Later during my training as a future teacher，I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted，though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.‎ ‎1．What do we know from the first paragraph?‎ A．The author's father was born in a worker's family.‎ B．Those born stupid could not change their life.‎ C．The town elders wanted to learn about the world.‎ D．The poor could hardly afford school education.‎ ‎2．The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”．‎ A．one new thing B．a request C．the news D．some comment ‎3．It can be learned from the passage that the author ________.‎ A．enjoyed talking about news B．knew very well about Nepal C．felt regret about those wasted days D．appreciated his father's educational technique ‎4．What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author?‎ A．Continual learning. B．Showing talents.‎ C．Family gettogether. D．Winning Papa's approval.‎ ‎5．The author's father can be best described as ________.‎ A．an educator expert at training future teachers B．a parent insistent on his children's education C．a participant willing to share his knowledge D．a teacher strict about everything his students did 十二 (2015 · 重庆，A)‎ 主题：努力可以克服困难　词数：308‎ At thirteen，I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not.‎ In my first literature class，Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said，“Mrs.Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems.I might not be able to do it.”‎ She glanced down at me through her glasses，“You are no different from your classmates，young man.”‎ I tried，but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.‎ In the quietness of my bedroom，the story suddenly all became clear to me.It was about a blind person，Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education.But Louis didn't give up.Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots(点)，which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.‎ Wasn't I the “blind” in my class，being made to learn like the “sighted” students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed，I was no different from others；I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up?‎ I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it.At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying？”‎ ‎1．The author didn't finish the reading in class because ________．‎ A．he was new to the class B．he was tired of literature C．he had an attention disorder D．he wanted to take the task home ‎2．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?‎ A．He had good sight.‎ B．He made a great invention.‎ C．He gave up reading.‎ D．He learned a lot from school.‎ ‎3．What was Mrs.Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?‎ A．Angry. B．Impatient.‎ C．Sympathetic. D．Encouraging.‎ ‎4．What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A．The disabled should be treated with respect.‎ B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.‎ C．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.‎ D．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.‎ 十三 (2015 · 四川，B)‎ 主题：积极乐观的父亲　词数：335‎ Nothing could stop Dad. After he was put on disability for a bad back，he bought a small farm in the country，just enough to grow food for the family. He plante d vegetables，fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.‎ And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure (肥料)．The smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell，Dad said the stronger the manure，the healthier the crops，and he was right. For example，just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell，and the taste was even sweeter.‎ As the vegetables started coming in，Dad threw himself into cooking. One day，armed with a basket of vegetables，he announced he was going to make stew (炖菜)．Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages，eggplants，potatoes，corns，onions and carrots. For about half an hour，the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally，Dad turned off the stove，the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem—inability to read.‎ In the library，I found my way into the “Children's Room”．I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye.It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle，the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child.He was my secret sharer，but one morning，he was gone，given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.‎ There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog.I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover.My eyes ran across the title，Amos，the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly，I had read the title.Without opening the book，I borrowed it from the library for the summer.‎ Under the shade of a bush，I started to read about Amos.I read very，very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly，I got the main idea of the story about a dog who，like mine，had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog，and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story，my mind continued the final scene of reunion，on and on，until my own lost dog and I were，in my mind，running together.‎ My mother's call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something：I had read a book，and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.‎ I never told my mother about my “miraculous”(奇迹般的) experience that summer，but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.

She also operates a website，where she shares her tips and recipes，with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control what's on their plate.‎ Loe initially went to school to become an engineer，but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food.“I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fresh flavor，” she said. Engineer by day，Loe learned cooking at night school.She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.‎ ‎“I teach people how to live farmfresh without a farm，” Loe said.

With every planted food，Loe noted，there's a moment when it's bursting with its absolute peak flavor.“I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar，” Loe said.“Canning for me is about knowing what's in your food，knowing where it comes from.”‎ In addition to being more in touch with the food she's eating，another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children：“Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the_bigger_picture.” she said，“that if we don't take care of the earth，no one will.”‎ ‎1．The underlined word“prerequisite”(Para.1) is closest in meaning to “________”．‎ A．recipe B．substitute C．requirement D．challenge ‎2．Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?‎ A．They are used daily.‎ B．They are easy to grow.‎ C．They can grow very tall.‎ D．They can be eaten uncooked.‎ ‎3．According to Loe，what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?‎ A．It can preserve their best flavor.‎ B．It can promote her online sales.‎ C．It can better her cooking skills.‎ D．It can improve their nutrition.‎ ‎4．What is “the bigger picture”(Para.6)that Loe wishes her children to understand?‎ A．The knowledge about good food.‎ B．The way to live a growourown life.‎ C．The joy of getting in touch with food.‎ D．The responsibility to protect our earth.‎ 十八 (2014 · 江西，A)‎ 主题：水下探险　词数：352‎ Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions (探险) but this time，it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.‎ Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age. Similarly，his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions.Since then，he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small.Then，there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.

As we were leaving，we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her，but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.‎ Walking towards the scene，Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple.He said to me，“Mum，it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”‎ At the front of the supermarket，a charity (慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds.Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower.“It will make her feel better，” he said. I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea.So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up.“Just take it，”she replied.“I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”‎ By now paramedics (急救人员) had arrived，and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her，my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.‎ Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him，“My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”‎ At that，the old man started crying and said，“Thank you so much，you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.”‎ The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower，telling her who it was from.Though badly hurt and shaken，the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.‎ ‎1．What does the author intend to tell us?‎ A．One can never be too careful.‎ B．Actions speak louder than words.‎ C．Love begins with a little smile.‎ D．A small act of kindness brings a great joy.‎ ‎2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．The elderly woman was knocked down by Tenyson.‎ B．Tenyson's idea of buying a flower gained his mother's support.‎ C．Tenyson's care for the elderly woman puzzled the flower seller.‎ D．The elderly woman was moved to tears by Tenyson's gesture.‎ ‎3．The underlined word“intimidated”in the fourth paragraph probably means “________”．‎ A．astonished B．struck C．frightened D．excited ‎4．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Flower Power B．Mother's Day C．An Accidental Injury D．An Embarrassing Moment 二十 (2014 · 福建，B)‎ 主题：灰姑娘的故事　词数：456‎ Walt Disney is credited for creating such wonderful things as Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. However，he cannot take the credit for creating other wellloved characters，such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables (寓言) into cartoon movies.‎ The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother's death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition，there were only birds that helped Cinderella；there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice，nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.‎ The stepsisters were cruel：they always threw Cinderella's food into the ashes of the fire，and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor，hence (因此) her name.‎ In the original story，the king's ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds，the girl，beautifully dressed，danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However，she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night，the prince placed something sticky on the stairs；as Cinderella made her escape，a shoe got stuck on it.‎ Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant：when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe，the wicked (邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told.So the prince took her away to be his bride. But，when they passed the tomb of Cinderella's mother，the birds called out to the prince，‎ ‎“Turn and peep，there's blood within the shoe；‎ The shoe is too small，the true bride waits for you.”‎ Realizing he had been tricked，the prince returned the daughter to her mother；the other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe，with the same result.Only Cinderella's foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day：as Cinderella's two stepsisters followed her，pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king's riches，two birds flew by and plucked (啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood，they had to spend the rest of their days blind.‎ The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes；it indeed was a wise move.‎ ‎1．What does the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?‎ A．Such wonderful things.‎ B．Other wellloved characters.‎ C．Old fables.‎ D．Cartoon movies.‎ ‎2．How did Cinderella get her name?‎ A．The birds came up with it.‎ B．It was given by Disney.‎ C．It came from the word “ash”．‎ D．She got it from her mother.‎ ‎3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?‎ A．Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.‎ B．The ball was held to celebrate the prince's wedding.‎ C．Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.‎ D．The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.‎ ‎4．The moral of the original story is that________.‎ A．a wicked person cannot escape punishment B．a devoted person certainly deserves respect C．a wellbehaved child earns a great reward D．a dishonest child cannot get mother love ‎5．What does the author think of the Disney version?‎ A．Excellent.
