‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之十八 ‎[一]‎ Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences，certain funny situations have a universal attraction. No matter where you live，you would find it difficult not to laugh at，say，Charlie Chaplin’s early films. However，a new type of humour，which starts largely from the U.S.，has recently come into fashion. It is called “sick humour”.‎ Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent death or serious accidents. The following “sick humour” will enable you to amuse yourself.‎ A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there，he kept on bothering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He was afraid of having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctor did his best，the patient’s recovery was slow. On Christmas Day，the man still had his right leg in plaster(石膏).‎ He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day，however，the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The man took heart and，sure enough，on New Year’s Eve he was able to hobble(蹒跚) along to a party. To make up for his unpleasant experiences in hospital，the man drank a little more than what was good for him. In the process，he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still murmuring something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.‎ ‎1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. All the humour stories are funny in spite of different nationalities.‎ B. One can realize the humour of the stories in his own country.‎ C. Charlie Chaplin made it difficult to laugh at his action.‎ D. Almost all the audience can be made to laugh at some famous comedians’ action.‎ 答案D解析细节理解题。从第一段第二、三句可知，对于有些著名喜剧演员的表演来说，几乎所有的人都看得懂，并且大笑起来，故D项正确。‎ ‎2.What does the underlined word “consoled” mean?‎ A. Comforted. B. Overcame.‎ C. Confused. D. Disturbed.‎ 答案A解析词义猜测题。从最后一段前三句可知，医生是安慰他，告诉他有机会能够离开医院。因此，console含有comfort(安慰)的意思。‎ ‎3. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. No pains，no gains.‎ B. Extreme joy begets sorrow.‎ C. Once a thief，always a thief.‎ D. Good medicine tastes bitter.‎ 答案B解析推理判断题。A.不劳无获；B.乐极生悲；C.一次做贼，永远是贼；D.良药苦口。从文章最后一段的描述可知，那个人因出院了很高兴，在聚会上多喝了一些，结果又摔断了左腿。因此，选B项。‎ ‎4. What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A.A new kind of humour came into being.‎ B. How to cure your legs is important.‎ C. Christmas is more necessary than anything else.‎ D. Holding a party is interesting for the westerners.‎ 答案A解析主旨大意题。本文通过第一段的引入，说明了当前的一种新型幽默。‎ ‎ [二]‎ The Last Supper is regarded as one of the supreme masterpieces(杰作) in the whole field of pictorial art．Tradition has it that Leonardo Da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting, the monks in the church annoyed at the delay．It was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to night without eating his meals．But at other times he spent hours before the picture, lost in contemplation,_ examining, comparing, and measuring his figures.‎ This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior, the head of the church, who belonged to the large group of those who believed that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to find fault with the idle(空闲的) painter．Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else that there is a great difference between the work of the creative artist and the stonemason(石匠)．The creative artist needs time for contemplation; he may be busiest when his hands are idlest．Just now he needed two heads to complete the picture: that of Christ, for which no model on earth could be found, for where was the man to be found whose face would express the strength, and beauty, and tenderness, and deep sorrow of the Christ; then he also needed a head of Judas, and that was hard to find as well, for where was the man whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor(叛徒)．But he would look no further; if none came his way, he would be satisfied to take Prior as a model for Judas．This threat silenced the angry Prior, who quite naturally had no desire to pass to descendants(后代)in such a fashion．‎ 文章大意：文章介绍了达·芬奇画他的名画《最后的晚餐》时的趣事。‎ ‎32．Why did the Prior complain about the delay？ __A__ ‎ A．Because he thought that the painter idled most of the hours.‎ B．Because he knew that genius (天才) might be busiest when seemingly idlest.‎ C．Because he liked the work of a stonemason.‎ D．Because he was eager to be taken as a model for Judas.‎ 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段的句子“...who believed that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to find fault with the idle painter.”可知，院长抱怨达·芬奇画画延误了，因为他觉得画家虚度了大部分时间。‎ ‎33．What does the underlined word “contemplation ” in Paragraph 1 mean？ __C__ ‎ A．possibility B．intention C．deep thought D．great expectation 解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第一段的“But at other times he spent hours before the picture”和“examining, comparing, and measuring his figures”可知，画家花数小时在画前面检查、对比、测量他的人物，故lost in contemplation的意思是“陷入深思”。‎ ‎34．Which of the following is TRUE？ __B__ ‎ A．The painter was pleased with the Prior's anger.‎ B．The Prior was angry because he thought the painter did not work hard.‎ C．The painter took one of the monks as a model for Christ.‎ D．The painter took one of the monks as a model for Judas.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子“This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior，”可知，院长很生气，因为他觉得达·芬奇没有努力。‎ ‎35．Why did the Prior stop complaining？ __A__ ‎ A．He did not wish to be remembered like an evil traitor after he died.‎ B．He wanted to be painted as a tender Christ.‎ C．He disliked to be painted in fashionable clothes.‎ D．He was pleased to be a fashionable model.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子“But he would look no further; ...who quite naturally had no desire to pass to descendants(后代) in such a fashion.”可知，院长停止抱怨，因为他不想作为一个邪恶的叛徒被记住。‎ ‎[三]‎ My name is Chelsea Chowderhead．A chowder is a kind of soup．I was laughed at because of my last name as soon as I started school．So when my family moved to South Carolina, I asked my dad if I could change my name.‎ ‎“You shouldn't change who you are．Let people get to know you first and your name later．When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you're really interested in．Once people start talking about themselves, they don't judge(评价) you.”‎ Two days later I headed to my new school for the first day of class．At lunch, I noticed that ‎ there were twin brothers who were talking to each other．I remembered my dad's advice, so I decided to try.‎ I noticed that their lunchboxes were identical．“What's it like being a twin？” I asked.‎ They looked surprised．Then one said, “No one has ever asked us that！”‎ ‎“Most of the time it's good，” the other said．“When you're a twin you always have someone to talk to and have lunch with.”‎ In no time we were laughing and talking．Then one of the brothers said, “I'm Nicholas, and this is my brother, Nathaniel．What's your name？”‎ I took a deep breath and said, “I'm Chelsea Chowderhead.”‎ ‎“Chowder? Like the soup？” asked Nathaniel.‎ ‎“Yes，” I replied, looking down.‎ ‎“Hey, cool! Do you want to come over after school and play basketball with us？” Nathaniel asked．I nodded.‎ And that is how I became friends with the twin brothers.‎ 文章大意：本文是记叙文。Chelsea Chowderhead曾因自己的姓名而受到同学们的嘲笑，所以在转学后他想改名字。父亲没有同意但是给他提了一个好建议。他按照父亲的建议去做，在开学第一天就与一对双胞胎兄弟结为好友。‎ ‎28．Why did the writer want to change his name？ __A__ ‎ A．People made fun of it. ‎ B．He wanted to make more friends.‎ C．It was hard to remember. ‎ D．He wanted to be cool in the new school.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“A chowder is a kind of soup．I was laughed at because of my last name”可知，因为自己的姓和一种汤的名称一样，以前的同学总嘲笑他，所以在转学后，他想改名字。‎ ‎29．The writer's father advised him to __D__ .‎ A．move to a new class B．say hello to others C．share his interests D．ask good questions 解析：细节理解题。根据父亲所说的话“When you meet someone new, ask them a good question, something you're really interested in.”可知答案为D。‎ ‎30．The underlined word “identical” in Paragraph 4 probably means __A__ .‎ A．same B．beautiful C．big D．full 解析：词义猜测题。根据本词后作者的问题及常识可以推断，一般双胞胎用的东西都是 一样的。‎ ‎31．When the twin brothers asked his name, the writer felt __C__ .‎ A．surprised B．angry C．nervous D．proud 解析：推理判断题。根据“I took a deep breath”及“looking down”可知，名字是作者的心病，当双胞胎兄弟问他叫什么名字时，他怕又遭到嘲笑，所以很紧张。‎ ‎[四]‎ We traveled to Moscow, Russia for river sightseeing．I had never been to Russia and my impression of that country was formed by what I heard and saw on television and in the newspaper．We were to be picked up at the airport by a driver who would then take us to the hotel and then go sightseeing．We arrived on time, got our baggage and went to the gate, but no one was waiting holding a sign with our names.‎ We had the phone number of the driver and the travel agency but no phone worked in Russia．I noticed a young woman sitting next to me with a cell phone so I asked her if she spoke English and she replied “Yes”．Should she please call our driver, I would pay for the call, I asked．“No problem，” she replied and called both numbers but no one answered.‎ A Russian woman holding a sign with someone's name on it, not ours, must have overheard this conversation and took the paper and called both numbers．Again, no one answered．She shrugged and sat down and then her phone was ringing (the phone was from my driver) and in Russian she had a conversation.‎ Then she started to tell me about the call from my driver, but in Russian．I said, “No Russian, English？” She said, “No English, Russian or Spanish.” The young woman who had made the first call said she spoke Spanish．So the Russian woman relayed (传达) the information from our driver to the young woman in Spanish．Then the young woman told the information to me in English.‎ The three of us looked at each other and realized what had just happened and laughed and hugged each other．That was international kindness.‎ 文章大意：文章介绍了作者去俄罗斯旅行，司机没有如约出现。幸运的是，有两位女士热心帮助作者接打司机电话，作者的困难得以解决。表达了虽然语言有障碍，但并没有影响爱心的传递的故事。‎ ‎24．What can we infer from the first paragraph？ __D__ ‎ A．The author came to Russia on business.‎ B．The author knew Russia very well.‎ C．The driver waited for the author at the airport on time.‎ D．The driver didn't show up at the airport.‎ 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段We were to be picked up at the airport by a driver who would then take us to the hotel and then go sightseeing．We arrived on time, got our baggage and went to the gate, but no one was waiting holding a sign with our names.(我们在机场会被一个司机接走，他会带我们去宾馆，然后去观光。我们准时到达，拿了行李，走到大门口，但是没有人拿着写着我们名字的牌子在等着我们。)可知司机没有出现，D项正确，故选D。‎ ‎25．How can we describe the two women at the airport？ __C__ ‎ A．Boring． B．Cold.‎ C．Warmhearted． D．Optimistic.‎ 解析：推理判断题。通过文章对两位女士帮助作者打电话的描写，可知这两位女士很热心。故选C。‎ ‎26．Who can speak English according to the passage？ __D__ ‎ A．The driver and the Russian woman.‎ B．The driver and the young woman.‎ C．The Russian woman and the author.‎ D．The young woman and the author.‎ 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段I noticed a young woman sitting next to me with a cell phone so I asked her if she spoke English and she replied “Yes”．(我注意到一位年轻的女士拿着手机坐在我旁边同，我问她是否会说英语，她说“是”)，可知作者和年轻女士会说英语。而根据第三、四段She shrugged and sat down and then her phone was ringing(the phone was from my driver) and in Russian she had a conversation．Then she started to tell me about the call from my driver, but in Russian．I said, “No Russian, English？” She said, “No English, Russian or Spanish.”(再一次，没有人回答。她耸耸肩，坐了下来，然后她的电话响了(电话是我的司机打来的)，并且她用俄语进行了交谈。然后她开始告诉我司机的电话，但用俄语。我说，“不用俄语，用英语？”她说，“不用英语，俄语或西班牙语。”)可知司机和俄国女士不会说英语，故选D。‎ ‎27．Which of the following can be the title of the passage？ __A__ ‎ A．Kindness Needs No Translation B．An Experience in Russia C．The Importance of Language in Communication D．Things to Prepare During the Trip 解析：主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者在俄罗斯受到两位热心女士帮助的故事，故事中虽然有语言障碍，但是并没有影响爱心的传递。故选A。‎ ‎[五]‎ Once a man needed a new pair of shoes. This man was very good at math. ‎ He knew that in order to get shoes that fit very well, it would be necessary to measure his foot size correctly.‎ So, before he went to the market, he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper. Then before leaving the house, like a good mathematician, he rechecked his picture.‎ It was a very long way from the man's home to the market. It was past midday when the man arrived at the market. When the man reached the shoe stall, he realized that he had forgotten to bring his paper. He turned around and walked all the way back home to get it.‎ It was nearly sunset when the man returned to the market. There he found the market was closing. The shoemaker had packed up all of his shoes. “Foolish man，” the shoemaker said to the man when he was asked to unpack his goods to make a sale. “Why did you not just try on the shoes？”‎ The man hung his head shamefully, saying, “I guessed there was only one way to solve my problem. I should have checked with others for another solution that might have worked as well or better than my own.”‎ The above short story works well with school students and also teachers. Don't try to solve a problem with a single point of view; there may be many other ways of solving the same problem.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过一则短篇故事告诉我们：一个问题往往不只有一种解决办法。‎ ‎1．Before the man went to the market, he ________.‎ A．asked others for some advice B．knew well about his foot size C．measured his old shoes carefully D．drew a pair of shoes on a piece of paper 解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So, before he went to the market, he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper.”可知，在去集市之前，那位男子仔细地测量了自己的脚的尺寸。‎ ‎2．The shoemaker considered the man to be ________.‎ A．stupid B．strange C．clever D．interesting 解析：选A细节理解题。根据第四段中鞋匠说的“Foolish man”可知，鞋匠认为那位男子很愚蠢。‎ ‎3．What does the author want to show by telling the story?‎ A．We should learn math very well.‎ B．It's necessary to ask for help at times.‎ C．We should think carefully before we act.‎ D．There is more than one way to solve a problem.‎ 解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Don't try to solve a problem with a single point of view; there may be many other ways of solving the same problem.”可知，作者讲述这个故事是想告诉我们：一个问题往往不只有一种解决办法。‎ ‎[六]‎ Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes and disappointment.‎ My father is famous in our family for saying “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. ‎ I don't only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It's equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father ‎ announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be there. But then I thought about the fact that he's 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.‎ I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I'm doing the right thing. I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional wellbeing. ‎ ‎32．Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? ‎ A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. ‎ B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. ‎ C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.‎ D. Move an object out of the way before it traps someone.‎ ‎33．The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to________. ‎ A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached ‎34．The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “________”．‎ A．avoided B．lacked C．abandoned D．wasted ‎35．What is the best title for the passage? ‎ A. The Emotional Wellbeing ‎ B. The Two Saddest Words C. The Most Useful Rule ‎ D. The Peace of Mind 答案与解析 if only 这两个词是作者立志绝不说的，原因何在？本文与我们一起分享了作者对于if only 的理解及看法。‎ ‎32．D推理判断题。第二段提到孩子们小的时候爱惹祸，作者总是想着采取措施以避免“if only”的时刻，言外之意是事先采取措施以避免出了事之后追悔莫及，符合这一叙述的只有D项。‎ ‎33．B细节理解题。根据第三段的最后两句话可知，作者在耶稣受难节那天去办公室，目的是看看年迈的父亲。‎ ‎34．C词义猜测题。根据foregone 所在句子中的lost 及regretted 可知，此词与opportunity 搭配翻译成“放弃机会”，故选C。‎ ‎35．B标题判断题。根据首尾段的第一句话及文章大意可知，本文主要是针对“if only”这两个最令人伤心的词展开话题进行叙述的，故选B。‎ ‎[七]‎ I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill. It was 1994 but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday：“Kerrel，I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS. Be very careful when you are around him.”‎ AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up.From then on.I knew that this would be a family secret. My parents were not together anymore，and my Dad lived alone. For a while he could take care of himself. But when I was 12，his condition ‎ worsened. My father's children lived far away，so it fell to me to look after him. We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him，and because Dad was unable to work, and I had no school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner. I would sit in class feeling completely lost. The teacher's words muffled(低沉)as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.‎ I did not share my burden with anyone. I had seen how people reacted to AIDS. Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. And even adults could be cruel. When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.‎ I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret，I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days. Sad and hopeless，I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support. That day, she kept me on the phone for hours. I was so lucky to find someone who cared. She saved my life.‎ I was 15 when my father died. He took his secret away with him，having never spoken about AIDS to anyone，even me. He did not want to call attention to AIDS.I do.‎ ‎21．What does Kerrel tell us about her father?‎ A．He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.‎ B．He depended on the nurses in his final days.‎ C．He worked hard to pay for his medication.‎ D．He told no one about his disease.‎ ‎22．What can we learn from the underlined sentences?‎ A．Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher.‎ B．Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.‎ C．Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lesson.‎ D．Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.‎ ‎23．Why did Kerrel write the passage?‎ A．To tell people about the sufferings of her father.‎ B．To show how little people knew about AIDS.‎ C．To draw people's attention to AIDS.‎ D．To remember her father.‎ 答案与解析 本文通过对自己儿时父亲患艾滋后，家人及自己因害怕引起关注而隐瞒这一事实所面临的痛苦经历的描述，希望引起人们的关注，共同对抗艾滋。‎ ‎21．D细节理解题。根据文中最后一段中He took his secret away with him，having never spoken about AIDS to anyone，even me.可知作者的父亲从未对任何人提及过他的疾病。选D。‎ ‎22．C句意理解题。句意：我坐在教室里感觉一片茫然。在我试图弄清楚该如何应对(困境)时，老师的话语也变得低沉了。结合上文中I had no school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner.可知作者遇到了极大的困难，因此作者在上课时也无法专心听讲。选C。‎ ‎23．C写作目的题。由文中最后He did not want to call attention to AIDS.I do.我的父亲不希望引起人们对艾滋的关注，但我想。可知作者写这篇文章的目的是希望公众关注艾滋。选C。‎ ‎[八]‎ In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous (土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, ‎ people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony (殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.‎ The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the efforts of a Frenchman from Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250, 000 living in its capital, Cayenne.‎ ‎“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years，” says Gin. “I've been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don't see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”‎ ‎“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life，” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.” ‎ His blackandwhite pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional selfsupporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.‎ ‎28．Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?‎ A．They seldom follow the French law.‎ B．They often ignore the Guianese law.‎ C．They are separated from the modern world.‎ D．They are both Guianese and French citizens.‎ ‎29．Gin introduces the special world of the indigenous Guianese as ________.‎ A．a tour guide B．a geographer C．a film director D．a photographer ‎30．What is Gin's attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?‎ A．Cautious. B．Doubtful.‎ C．Uninterested. D．Appreciative.‎ ‎31．What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A．The modern French lifestyle.‎ B．The selfsupporting hunting.‎ C．The uncivilized world.‎ D．The French Republic.‎ 答案与解析 本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了居住在法属圭亚那雨林深处的一群土著居民。由于居住地偏远，他们过着一种未开化的生活，但同时也受到了现代法国生活方式的影响。‎ ‎28．A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，作者对法属圭亚那土著居民感到惊奇的原因是，他们主要按照自己的法律生活，且经常忽视或根本不知道法国法律，因而很少遵守法国法律。故选A。‎ ‎29．D推理判断题。根据第四段第一句可知，Gin是通过照片来展示当地人们的生活的。由此可推知，Gin是以摄影师的身份来展示法属圭亚那土著居民的特殊世界的。故选D。‎ ‎30．D观点态度题。根据第三段第一句可知，Gin很热爱法属圭亚那的土著居民，他认为这里是自由之地。由此可推知，Gin很欣赏他们的生活方式。故选D。‎ ‎31．A指代判断题。根据画线词后的内容可知，随之而来的不仅有必要的社会福利，还有酗酒、背叛甚至是自杀，这些变化是与传统的自给自足的狩猎生活方式不同的现代的法国生活方式所导致的，故it应指“现代的法国生活方式”。故选A。‎ ‎[九]‎ The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the waiting photographers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future husband for the very first time.‎ Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell were the winners of a radio station's competition. The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They were among the two hundred people who entered a special “experiment” organized by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England. Greg, and Carla were among eight finalists who were interviewed live on a radio. They took a lie detector(测谎仪) test and the station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition judges include an astrologer(占星家) who declared that they were suited.‎ The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100 guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine's mother looked anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. ‎ Cordell's parents are reported to be less than delighted.‎ Organizations, including the marriage guidance Service Relate, have criticized the marriage. As one person puts it, “We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love.”‎ The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists. Their other prizes include a year's free use of a wonderful apartment in the center of Birmingham, and a car. But will it last?‎ ‎24．What can we know about the couple from the passage?‎ A．The couple know each other before the wedding.‎ B．The bridegroom is a model and the bride is a TV salesman.‎ C．The bride is 4 years older than the bridegroom.‎ D．The couple can use an apartment free for some time as one of the prizes.‎ ‎25．Some experts believe that ________.‎ A．marriage without the couple's meeting each other first ends up in divorce.‎ B．young people nowadays are too careless about marriage C．taking a lie detector test can not solve all the marriage problems D．most young people take marriage seriously except this couple ‎26．The goal of the competition was ________.‎ A．to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other B．to win a free honeymoon C．to win a year's free use of a wonderful apartment D．to make the radio station famous ‎27．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?‎ A．Two Strangers and a Wedding B．A Wedding Based on Love C．A Shortlived Marriage D．A WellMatched Couple 答案与解析 本文讲述的是两个素未谋面的陌生人走进婚姻殿堂，但是有些人批评这种做法，认为他们对待婚姻太不严肃。‎ ‎24．D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Their other prizes include a year's free use of a wonderful apartment in the centre of Birmingham, and a car.”可知，作为奖励，他们可以免费使用伯明翰中心的一套公寓，故选D。‎ ‎25．B推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We have enough problems getting young people to take marriage seriously without this.”可知，他们认为年轻人对待婚姻并不严肃，故选B。‎ ‎26．A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having met each other.”可知，这次比赛的目的是让两个素未谋面的年轻人结婚，故选A。‎ ‎27．A标题归纳题。本文讲的是两个陌生人结婚的事情，故选A。‎ ‎[十]‎ I had a lot of teachers that I loved. However, the teacher that I remember most was Mrs. Green from Marianna, Florida. She was my 5th grade teacher. Since I was a new student, not only in her class, but at the school, she made my time there much more pleasant. I immediately began to like her. She was really funny and I knew that she liked me. She made learning fun. I remember one day for Christmas holidays, she taught us how to make ornaments (装饰物) from eggs. My parents still ‎ have some of the ornaments I made.‎ She made me leader for many group projects and that made me feel special. I think that would make any child feel special, especially when a child is in a new place with no friends. She made me want to be like that. Not to pick a “favorite” student，but to make every student feel that they are special. That year，I received the Presidential Academic Award (美国总统学术奖). I was really proud and so were my parents.‎ Looking back at it, I think the reason why I did so well was that I felt important. Students do better when they feel like they are important or loved.
