‎2018届二轮复习 阅读理解分话题训练 人物故事类 A This happened when I was ten.‎ We were having Halloween Day at school, and I wanted to be a pirate (海盗) because of a movie I had seen.‎ My girl cousin, who was a year younger than me, had decided to be a boy for Halloween, so my aunt called my room to borrow some of my clothes. The next morning they came to our house early before school. She came running to me and told me that she was going to be a boy for Halloween. I told her that I didn’t care, and then she told me that I was going to be a girl. I told her she was crazy, but she said that she had overheard our mothers talking and that her mom had brought some of her clothes for me.‎ As soon as I walked into the living room, I knew she wasn’t lying. There was a wig (假发) on the coffee table, and my mom and aunt were both smiling at me. I shook my head and told them NO WAY before they even said a word. My mom said to me, “Don’t be a baby, Dave. It was a great costume idea and you would look cute dressed as a little girl.” My aunt said that it would be really adorable, since my cousin was going to be dressed as a boy. I told them I wouldn’t do it!‎ I was still refusing when my aunt was putting makeup on me, and I was wearing a pink party dress, the blonde wig with pigtails, ankle socks and Mary Jane shoes. My cousin wore one of my sweatshirts, a pair of my jeans, a baseball cap and my sneakers. We were sent to school like that, where I spent a depressing day. My cousin loved it, but I’d never been so embarrassed.‎ I still don’t like Halloween to this day!‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者十岁过万圣节时，本想扮作海盗，可母亲却将他扮作女孩，作者觉得很尴尬，所以作者至今仍然不喜欢过万圣节。‎ ‎1．When Dave’s girl cousin came running to him, she was sure ________.‎ A．Dave would be dressed as a pirate B．she would be dressed as a boy C．Dave would argue with his mum D．she had to buy some clothes for Dave 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知，当作者的表妹向作者跑来时，她就知道自己要扮作男孩了。故选B。‎ ‎2．The detailed description of the two kids’ costumes indicates ________.‎ A．the two kids were beautifully dressed that day B．dressingup in advance was a bit complicated before the festival C．the psychological hurt was deeply left in the author’s mind D．the mums made full preparations for that Halloween 解析：选C　推理判断题。文章开头提到这件事发生在作者十岁时，但对当时的穿戴作者现在仍记忆犹新；由此结合最后一段“I still don’t like Halloween to this day！”可知，这件事对作者伤害很深，作者至今还耿耿于怀，难以忘记。故选C。‎ ‎3．What would be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Goodbye forever, Halloween B．My crazy cousin C．Halloween, my dream D．Sweet childhood memories 解析：选A　标题归纳题。根据文章内容尤其是最后一段可知，因为作者十岁过万圣节时被扮作女孩觉得很尴尬，所以至今仍然不喜欢万圣节，可见这件事深深地伤害了作者；由此可推知，作者讨厌万圣节，希望以后再也不过这个节日。故选A。‎ B In 1885, the Republic of France, important friend during the American Revolution, donated the largest statue in the world, Liberty Enlightening the World, to the United States of America. The statue would celebrate its century of independence. To ship it, the statue was broken down into 350 pieces. And now, spread across Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbour, it sat in 214 wooden packing boxes. The problem was that New York had no money to reassemble it. Six other cities, less affected by the recent economic decline, had the money and bid to build it.‎ But a Hungarian immigrant, Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of America’s biggest newspaper called the World, wouldn’t let “Liberty” go. When he heard that the Statue of Liberty was about to die from lack of funds, he saw his chance.‎ Pulitzer set the fundraising goal of the World at $100,000. In its pages he laughed at the rich, thus increasing the paper’s appeal among workingclass people, and firmly planted the idea that the statue was a monument not just for New York City but, indeed, for all of America.‎ Perhaps Pulitzer’s cleverest trick was the promise to publish the name of every single contributor in the pages of the World, no matter how small the contribution. The editorial that opened the fundraising campaign set its tone. He wrote: “The World is the people’s paper and it now appeals to the people to come forward and raise the money for the statue’s base.” The statue, he said, was paid for by “the masses of the French people. Let us respond in like manner.” The circulation of the World increased by almost 50,000 copies.‎ African American newspapers joined in the effort, encouraging their readers to ‎ contribute to a monument that would, in part, celebrate the end of slavery. So the money poured in, as singledollar donations from grandmothers and pennies from the piggybanks of schoolchildren.‎ On August 11, 1885, the front page of the World announced，“ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS！” The goal had been reached, even slightly beyond, thanks to more than 120,000 contributions.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。自由女神像是法国送给美国人民的礼物，由于资金问题，女神像的装配出了问题。美国报业大亨Pulitzer为此做了很多努力，最后他终于为自由女神像筹集了足够的资金。‎ ‎4．What does the underlined word “reassemble” (Para. 1) probably mean?‎ A．Put together.　　　　 　B．Take apart.‎ C．Transport. D．Repair.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据第一段可知，自由女神像是法国送给美国人民的礼物，为了运送它，女神像被分解成350块，装在214个木箱里。问题是纽约没有钱来把它重新装配起来。故画线词“reassemble”与put together意思相近，表示重新组装。故A项正确。‎ ‎5．Which of the following was the greatest move in Joseph Pulitzer’s success?‎ A．Attacking the rich people.‎ B．Celebrating the end of slavery.‎ C．Printing every contributor’s name in the World.‎ D．Persuading children to donate their pocket money.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句并结合第二、三段可知，为了不让自由女神像因资金短缺而落入他人之手，Pulitzer发起筹募资金活动，同时还做了一些其他努力。其中最伟大的一项就是把每位捐款人的名字都公布在《世界报》上。故C项正确。‎ ‎6．What did Joseph Pulitzer try to convey to his readers about the Statue of Liberty?‎ A．It was a symbol of independence.‎ B．It was a monument for the whole USA.‎ C．It was a wonder in the building history.‎ D．It was a favor from the rich French people.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，关于女神像，Pulitzer想对读者传达的思想就是它是全美国的纪念碑。故B项正确。‎ ‎7．What was the main purpose of Joseph Pulitzer’s efforts?‎ A．To protect the Statue of Liberty.‎ B．To win workingclass readers over.‎ C．To expand the circulation of his paper.‎ D．To raise money for the Statue of Liberty.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“Pulitzer set the fundraising goal”并结合第三至五段内容可知，Pulitzer所做的努力就是为自由女神像筹集资金。故D项正确。‎ C Every evening Sylvie left her grandmother’s house at 5：30 to bring their cow home. The old animal spent her days out in the open country eating sweet grass. When the cow heard Sylvie’s voice calling her, she would hide among the bushes, unwilling to go home.‎ This evening it had taken Sylvie longer than usual to find her cow. The child hurried the cow through the dark forest, following a narrow path that led to her grandmother’s home.‎ ‎“Hello, little girl，” a young man called out cheerfully. “I’ve been hunting for birds, but I’ve lost my way.” The young man explained he was a scientist, who searched for birds. “Do you put them in a cage？” Sylvie asked. “No，” he answered, “I shoot them and deal with them with special chemicals to preserve them.”‎ ‎“I saw a white heron (苍鹭) not far from here two days ago. It’s a very rare bird. Have you seen it, too？” he asked Sylvie. Sylvie’s heart began to beat fast. She knew that strange white bird! The young man was staring at Sylvie. “I would give $10 to the person who showed me where the white heron is.”‎ Sylvie had a plan that she would get the $10 for her grandmother and make the young man happy. Her plan was to climb to the top of a tall pine tree to see where the white heron had hidden its nest.‎ The pine tree seemed to grow taller, the higher that Sylvie climbed. Suddenly a bird with broad white wings flew past Sylvie and landed on a pine branch below her. The white heron sat on its nest in a nearby tree. Sylvie gave a long sigh. She knew the wild bird’s secret now. Slowly she began her dangerous trip down the ancient pine tree.‎ About an hour later Sylvie returned. Both her grandmother and the young man stood up as she came into the kitchen. The splendid moment to speak about her secret had come. But Sylvie was silent. She could not tell the heron’s secret and give its life away.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了小女孩Sylvie最终因为她的善良而没有把白苍鹭的栖息地告诉年轻的科学家的故事。‎ ‎8．Where would Sylvie usually meet the cow every evening?‎ A．In the open country. B．Among the forest.‎ C．On a narrow path. D．In the bushes.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，Sylvie是在灌木丛中遇到这头奶牛。故D项符合题意。‎ ‎9．What was the young scientist’s job according to his introduction?‎ A．Collecting birds. B．Raising birds.‎ C．Observing birds. D．Protecting birds.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可推知，这个年轻的科学家的工作可能是收集各种鸟类标本。故A项符合题意。‎ ‎10．What had Sylvie planned to do about the white bird?‎ A．Make good friends with it.‎ B．Prevent it from being caught.‎ C．Find its nest but keep it secret.‎ D．Find it for money and the man.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，因为钱和这个年轻人，Sylvie想找到白苍鹭。故D项符合题意。‎ ‎11．What saved the white bird’s life at last?‎ A．Grandmother’s sympathy.‎ B．The white bird’s beauty.‎ C．Sylvie’s kindness.‎ D．The young man’s generosity.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知，当Sylvie找到白苍鹭的巢的位置，回到家之后，她决定不把这个秘密告诉这个年轻人，因为她不想让白苍鹭丢掉性命。由此可推知，Sylvie是一个善良的小女孩。故C项符合题意。‎ D The best family vacation that I ever had was going on a road trip to Myrtle Beach. The trip was for 2 weeks during the March break from school. This trip was probably about 20 years ago so it was before the time of things like portable video games and being able to watch movies in the back seat.‎ So to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other. My mum would set the back seat up so that it was our own little playroom. She would pack everything up so that we had a big level area to play in. We would play cards and board games.‎ When it got to the point where we_were_at_each_other’s_throats we would be sent back to our own side of the seat and would be forced to either nap or read by ourselves until we could be friendly to each other again. I can remember us playing for quite some time when we turned the back seat into a spaceship and traveled around the earth.‎ Another time we turned it into a kitchen and had a bakeoff (食品烘烤赛). But the thing that I remember the most and that gave us many hours of enjoyment was using each other’‎ s faces as silly Plasticine (普莱斯蒂辛橡皮泥) and making funny faces. We would see how far we could stretch each other’s mouths open, see how thin we could make the other’s eye by pulling on it. We would keep going until one of us begged for mercy because we had to give our faces a rest.‎ So while I can remember us having a great time on the beach, laughing a lot trying to put the tent up in the rain, what I remember the most of that trip and what always makes me smile the most is remembering the pain that our faces would be in after the trip.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了小时候在没有电子游戏、不能在坐车时看电影的旅途中打发时间的方式。‎ ‎12．What did the author do when traveling to Myrtle Beach?‎ A．Watch movies.‎ B．Play video games.‎ C．Have fun with his brother.‎ D．Pack things up to amuse himself.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第二段中的“to pass the many hours of travel my brother and I had to entertain ourselves and each other”可知答案。‎ ‎13．What does the author mean by saying “we were at each other’s throats”？‎ A．We were fighting with each other.‎ B．We used up our skills.‎ C．We were quite out of breath.‎ D．We were about to fall asleep.‎ 解析：选A　句意猜测题。下文的“... until we could be friendly to each other again”说明画线部分的意思应为“互相打斗，激烈争吵”。‎ ‎14．What impressed the author most during the trip?‎ A．Playing cards and board games.‎ B．Pulling each other’s faces and eyes.‎ C．Having a cooking competition.‎ D．Playing with silly Plasticine.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。由第四段中的“But the thing that I remember the most ...hours of enjoyment was using each other’s faces ...by pulling on it.”可知，旅途中作者印象最深的是和弟弟彼此拉对方的脸或者眼来做鬼脸。‎ ‎15．Which of the following titles would best suit the passage?‎ A．An Unforgettable Family Travel B．What Is the Most Meaningful Journey C．The Good Old Days Never to Be Forgotten D．How to Kill Time while Traveling in the Past 解析：选D　标题归纳题。结合文章内容看，本文主要叙述的是小时候在没有便携式游戏机、不能在后座看电影的情况下，作者一家去旅游时，作者在途中消遣的方式，故D项做本文标题最佳。‎
