‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文话题10篇训练之三 ‎[一]‎ On a Friday night in New York, a poor young man called Jay stood near the subway station, playing the violin. The music was so great that many people slowed down and put some money into his hat.‎ ‎ The next day, Jay came again. He took out a large piece of paper and laid it on the ground. Then he began playing. It seemed more pleasant to listen to. Before long, many people came, looking at the paper. It said, “Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat. Please come to claim （认领）it soon.” ‎ ‎ Seeing this, people wondered what it could be. After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the young man and said, “I’m the George. I knew you’d surely come here!”‎ ‎ Then George explained the whole story. He bought a lottery ticket a few days ago. Yesterday he found that he won a prize of $500,000. He was very excited. On his way home, he felt the music was so wonderful that he took out $100 and put it on the hat. However, the lottery ticket with his name on was also thrown in.‎ ‎ Jay was a student at an art school in Paris. He had booked the flight and would fly that morning. However, when he happened to find the ticket holder had won the lottery, he cancelled (取消)the flight and came back to the subway station.‎ ‎ Later someone asked Jay,” Why didn’t you take the lottery ticket for yourself?” He said, “Although I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever.”‎ ‎21.

Over time, Kate got nearer and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.‎ War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.‎ The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬 ) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden ,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.‎ Slowly, I collected the pencils and the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. And I didn't noticed Kate had sat up.She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. "Thanks."‎ Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn't always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.‎ ‎24.

I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school.‎ When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t’realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on ‎ the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.‎ See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature（幼稚） and only thought of myself, sometimes even gave up when I was tired or hurt. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery（外科手术） on my arm and at least five months to recover.‎ Needless to say, I missed the rest of the season, but this actually helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life.‎ After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity(校队的) football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us bond as a group of hard-working young men who I know will succeed in life.‎ ‎32. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. How the author dislikes the game of football. ‎ B. When the author began to play football.‎ C. How the writer changed his attitude to football. ‎ D. What sport the author likes best.‎ ‎33.The author thinks football is_______.‎ A. just a game B. of a mental sport C. hard to be out-of-date D. not worth his effort ‎34.

From the text we can infer(推断) ______.‎ A. the author joined the football team with a clear aim ‎ B. football only brought the author certain assignments C. the author never lost heart when he met with difficulty D. the author worked all summer to get ready for the season 参考答案：32--35 CBCA ‎[四]‎ During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.‎ ‎ Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan.‎ ‎ Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural ‎ areas.‎ ‎ “Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin,18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.‎ They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o’clock. Some of them went to the farmer’s market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall (临时摊位）. To lower the cost, they learned to bargain (讲价）with the sellers.‎ At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled (吆喝 ) loudly to attract（吸引）customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.‎ For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.‎ When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.‎ ‎“We are tired,” said Dalin. “but we gained a lot”.‎ ‎24.In the writer’s opinion, the 12 students’ action was _______. ‎ A. popular B. encouraging C. strange D. embarrassing ‎25. The cousins decided to sell vegetables at a market to _______. ‎ A. show how able they were B. have less hardship of life C. learn how hard their parents work D. prepare for their future ‎ traveling ‎26. They bargained with the sellers to _______. ‎ A. cut down the cost B. share their feelings C. get bigger vegetables D. attract more customers ‎27. The best tile of the story should be _______. ‎ A. Summer Courses B. Family Business ‎ C. Students Learn from Bargains D. Cousins Work with Vegetables ‎ 参考答案：24--27 BCCD ‎[五]‎ I come from a city on the United States’east coast. It’s a ten-hour flight for me to get home from Shanghai. When I got off the plane, I took photos of the blue sky and white clouds along the way. After two weeks, I returned to Shanghai. Much to my surprise, the blue sky in Shanghai that I liked before was not as blue as that in the US. I couldn’t help wondering what had happened.   A few days later, I went to tour Waitan (a famous tourist attraction in Shanghai) by the Huangpu River with some of my friends. There we saw five Ferrari sports cars by the side of the road. The red and yellow cars looked so nice that everyone was looking at them. However, when I turned my head, I noticed the sky over Waitan, I was shocked to find that the buildings in the Lujiazui area on the other side of Huangpu River could hardly be seen. It was then that I realized that Ferrari cars could be bought with money, but a blue sky couldn’t.   Shanghai is an important economic (经济的) and trade center in China. ‎ It has made great contributions (贡献) to the whole nation’s economic development. However, we need to protect the environment during economic growth. Pollution is poisoning our air and our rivers. Without clean air and rivers, how will people be able to survive?‎ ‎45.

Different Places Have Different Skies ‎ 参考答案：45-48 DDBA ‎[六]‎ Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past，” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ‎ ago.‎ Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.‎ Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listenandrepeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.‎ All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.‎ Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words by speaking them.‎ Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.‎ Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listenandrepeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”‎ ‎41．The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ‎ ________.‎ A．recall the past B．attract the readers C．introduce the topic D．compare the childhood with the present ‎42．According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages? A．Hungarian. 　 B．Spanish. C．Italian. D．English.‎ ‎43．Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.‎ A．singing is the best way to learn a language B．the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the words C．a listenrepeat method is very effective for any language learner D．Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other ‎44．In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?‎ A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.‎ B．A child is going to have his first music lesson.‎ C．A student is going to learn a new English song.‎ D．An American is going to learn some Chinese.‎ A本文讲述的是一项关于音乐和外语学习之间关系的研究。‎ ‎41．C　细节理解题。本文开头通过举例导入话题，人们都清楚地记得儿时唱歌的歌词是因为音乐有助于记忆，故选C。‎ ‎42．A　细节理解题。根据文章第五段“It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish.”可知A项正确。故选A。‎ ‎43．B　细节理解题。根据最后两段对研究的具体描述可知B项正确。故选B。‎ ‎44．D　推理判断题。从最后一段可知，此项研究对于外语学习者非常有用，可知D项正确。故选D。‎ 参考答案：41-44.CABD ‎[七]‎ ‎ I work in downtown Orlando and have been passing by the same homeless woman every week. She never asks me for money, but always greets me with a smile.‎ ‎ I wrote in a Facebook post, “Each Tuesday, Amy simply says “Good morning, Sir, Have a great day”. and smiles. I wear a suit to work every day so I get asked for money quite often but never once from Amy Joe.”‎ ‎ Now I have lunch with Amy every Tuesday, during which I know how positive she is even though she really has nothing. Last week Amy dropped a bomb on me—she can’t read. Being unable to read, she said it was too difficult for her to find a job. She began to use her collected money to check out library books instead of buying food. This crushed me!‎ ‎ I have been blessed with a family that can provide me with anything that I needed. Amy Joe has not. So I started to teach her to read. I rent one library book a week and we read it together on Tuesday. She practices on her own throughout the rest of the week.‎ ‎ This post is in no way to make anyone feel sorry for Amy or show myself off for doing something good. I wanted to share this because this can lead to someone helping another person. There are a lot of people out there like Amy Joe, hungry, homeless, or hurt. Helping someone could be as easy as saying hello and smiling.‎ ‎21. Why do some people often ask the author for money?‎ A. Because he has a job with high pay. ‎ B. Because he is friendly to everyone he meets. ‎ C. Because he likes inviting the homeless to lunch.‎ D. Because his appearance makes him look like a rich man.‎ ‎22. How does the author help Amy?‎ A. He rents books to read with Amy.‎ B. He buys food for Amy and her family.‎ C. He provides her with whatever she needs. ‎ D. He teaches her to write down her own story.‎ ‎23.

To praise himself.‎ 参考答案：21-23: DAB ‎[八]‎ ‎  In 1943, when I was 4, my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never far away.‎ ‎    We arrived in the summer, just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mum's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off, so she didn't care much about my bedtime.‎ Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mum was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel (桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad, though, and when I made my exit, a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home.‎ Mum and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me, and they did！I had a tour of the prison before Mum rescued me. I hadn't turned 5 yet.‎ As I entered kindergarten, the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?‎ As for Leonhard Seppala, famous as a dog sledder(驾雪橇者)，I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was, but I ‎ do remember the ride well. I was wrapped(包裹)heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.‎ In 1950, we moved back to Coeur d'Alene, but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbours of Alaska.‎ ‎32.

Obviously, life in the country is very different from that in the city. 　　Early in the morning I took a walk along the field side. The air was fresh and pure. With a dog following, sometimes I ran a race in the meadows covered with tall grass. Sometimes I climbed up the hill to see the sun slowly yet steadily rise from the eastern horizon. The birds also sang restlessly among the bushes. In order to appreciate the quietness of the country, I gave myself entirely to nature, with a light heart and a happy mind. 　　Sometimes in the afternoon I, together with my cousins, took a rod and went to the river to fish. It made the family happy when they saw me returning with a basketful of large fresh fish. When night came, I would sit at the door and tell the most wonderful and interesting stories to my cousins, who listened to the tale of wonder with open eyes and mouth. 　 I wish I could enjoy such calm, pure and beautiful rural life forever.‎ ‎27.

Mrs. Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.‎ Considering that there was no better way. Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “Give my dog half a pound of meat.”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently:“Take this to the butcher(*person whose job is selling meat). and he's going to give you your lunch today.”‎ Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady's handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.‎ At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.‎ The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (*people who buy sth. from a shop).‎ But, the dog came again at four o'clock. And the same thing happened ‎ once again. To the butcher's more surprise, it came for the third time at six o'clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled.
