‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之一 ‎[一]‎ Back in January, I was watching a college football game and came to a realization: As a high school senior, pretty soon, I’ll be the same age as some of the top athletes in the world.‎ This realization was both confusing and comforting. Until this point, I’d always thought of top athletes in another generation. I had no real connection to people in the news or playing sports on TV because they were so much older. But pretty soon, people of my age will be the ones dominating (支配) the news.‎ The comfort came in understanding that as I prepare to graduate from Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick, I’m not that far off from entering the real world, and I will have a chance to make a name for myself.‎ Right now, I’m at the end of one of life stages, with many more to come. As seniors, many in my class developed superiority complexes. We’d see babyfaced ninthgraders and think, “Ugh, those annoying freshmen.” Or we’d hear juniors complain about starting the college application process and say to each other, “Those juniors have no idea what they’re talking about.” Of course, last year’s seniors said the same thing about last year’s juniors, repeating a timeless cycle.‎ Psychologist and author Thomas Armstrong writes that life is made up of 12 stages. He stresses that no stage is more important than another, and each has its own unique gifts. There is no highest point in life, no impressive ending when you are above everybody else. At the same time, there is no lowest point in life; at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isn’t below everyone else, our elders aren’t above everyone else.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在观看足球比赛时意识到自己将和一些优秀的运动员同岁，并由此引发了其对高中生活和人生的感悟。‎ ‎24．What can we know about the author?‎ A．He’ll finish his high school studies about one year later.‎ B．Reflecting on the past is a part of his daily routine.‎ C．Football is a particular favorite with him.‎ D．He dreams of being an excellent athlete.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As a high school senior”可知，作者是一名高中毕业班的学生，因此会在大约一年后完成自己的高中学业。故选A。‎ ‎25．Why did the author find his realization comforting?‎ A．The top athletes are the same age as him.‎ B．There is a possibility that he can be famous.‎ C．He will be admitted to his dream university.‎ D．He’s made full preparations for entering society.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是“I will have a chance to make a name for myself”可知，作者觉得自己的感悟中令人欣慰的部分是他很快就会步入真正的世界，也将有机会让自己出名。make a name“出名，成名”。故选B。‎ ‎26．What does the underlined phrase “superiority complexes” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A．A habit of making complaints.‎ B．A habit of following in others’ footsteps.‎ C．A feeling that you are better than others.‎ D．A feeling that others are unapproachable.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“We’d see babyfaced ninthgraders and think ... repeating a timeless cycle.”可知，该段主要讲的是作为毕业班的学生，作者的很多同学会在新生面前自以为是，或者嘲笑那些抱怨大学申请过程(复杂)的低年级学生，即高年级学生会在低年级学生面前产生一种优越感，故画线词的意思应为“优越感”。故选C。‎ ‎27．What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?‎ A．Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed.‎ B．Life is never smooth, full of ups and downs.‎ C．One should try to reach his greatest potential.‎ D．Everyone has their own value and position in life.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isn’t below everyone else, our elders aren’t above everyone else”可知，在任何时候人都是有价值的，不低于他人，亦不高于他人，即每个人在生活中都有自己的价值和位置。故选D。‎ ‎[二]‎ Courtney Holmes offers his young customers a little something extra with their haircuts.‎ ‎“Hey, how are you doing? What grade are you in? What’s your favorite book? Yeah, I got it.” If you thought you’d walked into a library with a greeting like that, you wouldn’t be too far off.In fact, you’ve entered the workplace of Courtney Holmes, the Storybook Barber.‎ Two years ago, Dubuque, lowa, held its first annual Back to School Bash, offering needy families a chance to learn about free resources in the community.Holmes agreed to take part in it.He was holding down two jobs at the time — one with the city’s public works department, the other as a barber.Saturday was his busiest haircutting day, but he chose to devote his time to underprivileged (底层的) kids so they’d look sharp on that first day of classes.But then he had a sudden idea.“The kids should earn their free haircut by having to read a book to me.” Holmes said.‎ The idea was so popular that he continued it the first Tuesday of every month for the next two years.5 to 10yearold kids, would hold a favorite book, settle into the barber chair, and read aloud while Holmes gave them a haircut.If they had any difficulty, Holmes was there to help.After the haircut, they’d review the book, from the characters and vocabularies to the themes — just like in school, only more fun.“These kids are eager ‎ to learn，” said Holmes.“And they are able to open their hearts there.”‎ Holmes admits he, too, benefits from the activity.“There was a sevenyearold boy who struggled through his book, stuttering (口吃) over words even though he didn’t have a stutter，” said Holmes.He had the boy take the book home and practice.“When the child came back next time, he read it with no problems.That inspired me.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。热心人士Courtney Holmes为学生提供免费理发服务的同时，还为他们创造了读书的良好氛围。‎ ‎★7.Why did Holmes take part in Back to School Bash?‎ A．To earn more money.‎ B．To help poor kids look good.‎ C．To reduce the parents’ pressure.‎ D．To work in the local schools.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“but he chose to devote his time ...so they’d look sharp on that first day of classes”可知，Holmes提供免费的理发，让孩子们在开学时显得精神些。B项中的“look good”就是对“look sharp”的同义替换。‎ ‎★8.How often did Holmes provide free haircuts during the two years?‎ A．Every Saturday. B．Every weekend.‎ C．Once a month. D．Once a year.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知，在两年的时间内，Holmes在每个月的第一个星期二都会为孩子们提供免费服务，也就是每个月一次。C项是对“the first Tuesday of every month”的信息归纳。‎ ‎9．What can we learn about Holmes’ young customers?‎ A．They are students with reading problems.‎ B．They learn more here than in school.‎ C．They get along well with Holmes.‎ D．There are more boys than girls.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第四段的“‘These kids are eager to learn，’ said Holmes.’And they are able to open their hearts there.’‎ ‎”可知，孩子们在理发店里能和Holmes敞开心扉，说明他们与Holmes相处得很好。‎ ‎10．What can we best describe Holmes as?‎ A．A hardworking barber.‎ B．A kindhearted volunteer.‎ C．A busy and loving parent.‎ D．A responsible social worker.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。结合全文可知，Holmes两年的时间内定期为孩子们提供免费理发服务，并与他们交流，辅导他们读书，是一位热心的志愿者。‎ ‎[三]‎ It’s only been two weeks since Montana Brown began working at the Aflac Cancer Center of Atlanta, but she said, “The job is more than anything I could ask for.It’s so cool to just be at the place where I was treated and to have an influence over the kids.”‎ Brown was just two when she was diagnosed (诊断) with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of cancer.She received treatment for a year and then the disease was controlled.‎ But at the age of fifteen, she was diagnosed again with the same cancer and had to receive treatment for another year.She was also told that she had to stop dancing, one of her hobbies.‎ Brown said she remembered just how compassionate (有同情心的) the nurses were during that difficult time.So she decided to give back in the same way the nurses did with her when she was in the hospital.‎ ‎“Around 10th or 11th grade, I started thinking about what to major in，” Brown said.“I knew I wanted to help people and I knew that I wanted to use my story to help others and give them hope and inspiration.The more I thought about it, the better I knew being a nurse would be the greatest field for me.” She received a degree in nursing from Augusta University last year.‎ Caroline Rooke, the nurse manager at the Aflac Cancer Center, ‎ said.“Brown’s experiences make her a special part of the team.She would improve the care experience that we can offer our patients.It’s her special way of giving back.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。Montana Brown两岁的时候就被查出患有癌症，并在医院接受了治疗。为了回报社会，她在大学学习护理专业，毕业后成为那家医院的一名护士。‎ ‎★4. What does Montana Brown think of her job?‎ A．Amazing. B．Interesting.‎ C．Boring. D．Demanding.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段Brown所说的话“The job is more than anything I could ask for.It’s so cool to just be at the place where I was treated and to have an influence over the kids.”可知，她认为回到这家医院工作是一件很酷的事情，她对此很满意，故正确答案为A。A项“Amazing”与文中的“so cool”为同义表达。‎ ‎★5.Why did Montana Brown choose to be a nurse?‎ A．She believed this field was so cool.‎ B．She wanted to inspire more patients.‎ C．She hoped she could cure her illness.‎ D．She intended to get some experience.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第五段的“I knew I wanted to help people and I knew that I wanted to use my story to help others and give them hope and inspiration.”可知，她之所以选择当一名护士，是因为她想帮助更多的人，想用自己的故事给别人希望和鼓舞。B项中的“inspire”与“inspiration”的意思是一致的。‎ ‎6．What can we learn from Brown’s story?‎ A．No difficulty can make us lose hope.‎ B．It is important to choose a proper job.‎ C．Nothing can prevent us achieving our goals.‎ D．Anyone has the ability to give back to society.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段、第五段的内容以及最后一段护士长的话“It’s her special way of giving back.”可知，Brown在接受治疗期间从护士那里感受到了爱心与照顾，这促使她毕业后选择成为一名护士，以此回报社会。她的故事告诉我们：每个人都有回报社会的能力。‎ ‎[四]‎ Sonam Tenzin has a clear understanding of what modern material wealth would mean to him: treatment and medication for his elderly, disabled mother, and his aunt and uncle and a good education for his two sons.‎ Sonam Tenzin is separated from his wife, so he supports his sons and his three aging relatives alone.Last year, the family’s situation got worse when their house was damaged by fire.Although he got help, Sonam had to borrow 60,000 yuan from the bank to repair the building.‎ In the coming five years, according to the policy, the government will provide parttime jobs, such as forest rangers (护林员), for 500,000 people.Sonam Tenzin has been offered a job as a forest ranger, which will bring him about 3,000 yuan every year.‎ ‎“However, some people just do nothing and think the government will take care of them, anyway，” Nyima, the official, said.“Stopping the resettlement projects from turning into slums (贫民区) is at the top of our tasks.”‎ The real challenge for the government lies in working out how poor families can be helped to make a living without government assistance.In one resettlement project in an urban area of Nyingchi, the government has set an entry condition that requires poor families to have at least one person working in the area before they are allowed to move in.‎ Although Sonam Tenzin had excellent performance in his schoolwork, the need to support his family forced him to drop out before he finished high school.Now, his dearest wish is that his children will receive an education good enough to help them live up to their potential (潜能)．‎ ‎“Every time I am invited to a gathering of my middle school classmates, ‎ I always refuse.We were very close, but now we live very different lives，” he said.“I just hope my children will not be in the same position as me in the future.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了西藏自治区林芝市的Sonam Tenzin在当地政府的政策帮助下摆脱贫困。‎ ‎4．Why does Sonam Tenzin have to support his family by himself?‎ A．Because only he has a job in his family.‎ B．Because his wife doesn’t live with him.‎ C．Because only he has the ability to work.‎ D．Because his wife is terribly ill.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段“Sonam Tenzin is separated from his wife, so he supports his sons and his three aging relatives alone.”可知，Sonam Tenzin与妻子分居，因此他只能独自抚养儿子和赡养他三个年迈的亲属。‎ ‎5．What’s the biggest problem that the resettlement projects are facing?‎ A．Some people’s laziness.‎ B．The poor living conditions.‎ C．Some people’s disagreement.‎ D．The shortage of job opportunities.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，政府官员Nyima说有些人什么事情也不做，觉得不管怎样政府都会照顾他们。如何不让“重新安置工程”变成贫民区是政府议程中的首要任务。由此可推知，“重新安置工程”面对的最大问题是一些人的懒惰。‎ ‎6．What is the real challenge for the government?‎ A．Letting the poor people live a better life.‎ B．Providing the poor families with more money.‎ C．Letting every able man have a job of his own.‎ D．Letting the poor be able to make a living independently.‎ 解析：选D ‎　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，政府真正的挑战在于解决如何让贫困家庭在没有政府的帮助下维持生计。由此可推知，政府面对的真正挑战是让穷人独立谋生。‎ ‎7．In Sonam Tenzin’s opinion, the most important thing to his children is .‎ A．the safe life B．the chances to go out of the village C．the chances to be educated well D．the easy life 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句可知，Sonam Tenzin现在最迫切的愿望就是他的孩子能够得到足够好的教育，即在Sonam Tenzin看来，对他的孩子们最重要的事情是接受良好教育的机会。‎ ‎[五]‎ My husband Chris and I were on Brighton Beach.While we were walking along the beach, we saw a woman in the water.She was fully dressed, lying on her back.We hesitated: we knew this scene wasn’t right.Then we heard, “Help, please! I don’t want to die！”‎ We ran to the shoreline.I shouted to her, “We are here; you are not going to die.We won’t let that happen.Can you swim to us？” It quickly became apparent from her distress that she had gone out there with the intention of drowning herself, but had then changed her mind.‎ After struggling for a while, she was finally pulled out of the water by us.I sat next to her and asked her name.She was my age and kept saying how sorry she was for wasting our time.I couldn’t imagine how much pain she must have been in to feel that desperate.‎ ‎“Shall I let you into a secret？” I said. “Four years ago, almost to this very hour, I was taken to an operating theatre to have a double lung transplant (移植)．My life was saved by a stranger, and now here we are, strangers helping you.Please don’t apologize; we are glad to be here.”‎ That was the reason why Chris and I had taken the train to Brighton: to mark the anniversary of my transplant.Before that operation, I had to ‎ wear an oxygen mask, using a wheelchair, unable to wash by myself.But I stuck to the belief that a better life was waiting for me, if I could hold on.The woman on the beach broke my heart when she said I’d deserved to get better, but that she didn’t.I told her we were both just very ill and needed to let other people help us sometimes.‎ We may get desperate sometimes, but we should always believe we’ll have a bright future.And very likely we may be helped out by a stranger.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者和丈夫在海滩散步时，发现了一位绝望的想溺亡的女士，作者和丈夫救了她。‎ ‎4．What do we know about the author when she first saw the woman?‎ A．She thought the woman was out for a swim.‎ B．She didn’t pay much attention to the woman.‎ C．She wondered why the woman wanted to drown herself.‎ D．She was confused due to the way the woman was dressed.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段的“She was fully dressed, lying on her back.We hesitated: we knew this scene wasn’t right.”可推断出作者当时感到很疑惑，不知道那位女士想做什么。‎ ‎5．What does the underlined word “distress” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Great sorrow.　　　 B．Sudden shock.‎ C．Poor condition.

WiFi.I know what they’re trying to do.They want people to talk to each other without being consumed by technology.They want to stress the relational aspect of coffee shops and would rather hear many voices having deep discussions than see keyboards or eyes staring at a cell phone.However, their good intentions are often mistaken by consumers, me included.‎ One snowy day, a friend and I decided that it would be a great idea to go to a local coffee shop and get our work done there.We found a place that had unique coffee flavors and great reviews.It was a bit of a walk from where our subway dropped us off, but we thought it was worth it.‎ We walked through the snow and my feet were almost frostbitten (冻伤的) because the boots I wore were not warm as I had originally assumed.About 10 minutes later, we found the coffee shop and our blue lips were eagerly looking forward to that warm drink.As we walked up to the door, we saw the sign, “No WiFi.” In anger, we looked at each other and said “Starbucks？”‎ Of course, this was a loss for them.They lost our business and the chance to make their relationship building task a reality.People who come to coffee shops to work do come to be on their computers, but they also go there so they can still have human interaction (互动)．They want to work around other people, not in a room by themselves.What’s more,‎ ‎ even if the shops don’t have WiFi, people will still use their phones, unless all phone service is blocked out.So my friend and I spent the snowy day working together in the biggest chain coffee shop.We completed our task perfectly and that wasn’t the case in those coffee shops without WiFi.‎ Therefore, there is no need to shut WiFi to customers.With it, the shop will get more people and there’ll be more laughter and better relationships than before.‎ Don’t make us go to Starbucks for our next snowy day.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己的切身体会，表达了对咖啡店关闭WiFi的看法。作者认为这样的做法是完全没必要的。‎ ‎4．What is the purpose of many coffee shops’
