‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类10篇专题训练之十六 ‎[一]‎ I recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash, and something happened at the memorial service that he'll never forget. He shared the story with me. ‎ At the memorial service, his friend's wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering. She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together. At the moment, she had been too sad to answer, but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question. ‎ They were in their late forties when he died, and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier. She had quit her job to obtain her master's degree, and her husband never hesitated in his support. ‎ He held down his own job and also did the cooking, cleaning, and other housework while she studied for her degree. ‎ One time they both stayed up all night. She was finishing her paper, and he was preparing for an important business meeting. That morning, she walked out of her study, leaned against the door by the stairs, looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him. She knew how important this meeting was to his future, and she was feeling guilty that she didn't even have time to make his breakfast. He took his briefcase and hurried out. She heard the garage door open and close, but much to her surprise, she heard it open again about thirty seconds later. From above, she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table. Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words "I love you", then he raced back to his car. ‎ The new widow then looked out at her audience and said, "John and I had a wonderful life together. We have been around the world several times.‎ ‎ We've had everything money can buy. . . but nothing comes close to that moment."‎ Hearing this, I was deeply moved. "Love makes life worthwhile. "‎ ‎29. Why did the woman quit her job?‎ A. She needed to concentrate on her studies. ‎ B. She had too much housework to do. ‎ C. She wanted to travel around the world. ‎ D.

Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.‎ ‎　　“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.”Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”‎ ‎　　“He won’t find out,” Mark said. “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”‎ ‎　　Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new Computer really puzzled him.‎ ‎　　It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had ‎ explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only seized to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”‎ ‎　　“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen: ENTER NAMES VOYAGER 1:…‎ VOYAGER 2:…‎ ‎ Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.‎ ‎ “INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED( 自动回收程序已启动).”‎ ‎ The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume. ‎ ‎ “I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened. ‎ ‎ But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.‎ ‎ “TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION(目的地): MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.”‎ ‎37. Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?‎ ‎ A. He wanted to take a voyage. B. He wanted to practice his skill.‎ ‎ C. He was so much attracted by it. D. He was eager to do an experiment.‎ ‎38. Where did the boys' father most likely work?‎ ‎ A. In an electronic factory. B. In a computer company.‎ ‎ C. In a scientific research center. D. In an information processing center.‎ ‎39. Why did Jason want to shut off the computer?‎ A. He was afraid of being scolded. ‎ ‎ B. He didn't like the loud noise and light. ‎ C. He didn't want to play games any more. ‎ D. He was afraid something dangerous might happen.‎ ‎40. What happened to the boys at the end of the theory?‎ ‎ A. They were blown into the air. B. They were sent to another planet.‎ ‎ C. They were hidden in the strong light. D. They were carried away to another country.‎ 参考答案：37—40 CCDB ‎[三]‎ Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, has created an online science education platform. He tries to “build a bridge” with things you know about, and then “bring you across that bridge to the strange place of modern physics”．‎ Recently I had a chance to ask Greene about wormholes (a hole which some scientists think might exist, connecting parts of space and time that are not usually connected), time travel and other mysteries of the universe. I asked him a milliondollar question: What if I went through a wormhole and prevented my parents from meeting? “Most of us believe that the universe makes sense，” Greene said. Although there are several interesting theories about time travel, he added, the laws of physics would probably prevent something so illogical from taking place. The good news is that the time paradox (悖论) is open for future physicists to solve.‎ When asked how physics could become more exciting for kids, Greene said that books by Stephen Weinberg, Leonard Susskind, and other physicists,‎ ‎ “make it a great time for people who want to learn about big ideas but aren’t yet ready, perhaps, to learn math.”‎ When I pointed out that some students still might find physics boring, Greene said that the key is to teach them about things that are strange. “The basic stuff is important，” Greene said. “But I think it’s really important to also describe the more modern ideas, things like black holes and the Big Bang. If kids have those ideas in mind, then at least some of them will be excited to learn all the details.”‎ Greene has followed Albert Einstein’s lead in trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Now he wants kids to do the same. As Greene said, physics is “not just a matter of solving problems in an exam”. It’s about experimenting, showing an interest in strange phenomena (现象) — and having fun!‎ ‎21．A milliondollar question is probably very ________.‎ A．direct B．long C．personal D．difficult ‎22．The books by Weinberg and Susskind ________.‎ A．are popular science books B．are mainly about math C．are boring to read D．are only popular among kids ‎23．According to Paragraph 4, which of the following does Greene agree with?‎ A．Modern physics is a boring subject.‎ B．It is not necessary to learn all about physics.‎ C．Interest plays an important role in studying.‎ D．It is easy to describe black holes and the Big Bang.‎ ‎24．In the last paragraph, Greene hopes that ________.‎ A．kids can find more strange things in life B．kids can do well in physics exams C．kids can have fun with experiments D．kids can love science and physics 参考答案：21-24 DACD ‎ ‎[四]‎ Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s, he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen, he soon learned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatballmaking machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker, Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use, he quickly came up with a simple method — the Magic Meatball Maker.‎ He was sure there was a market for his machine, but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks, but he believed in his idea, and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer (制造商) offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for a share in the profits (收益), local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend’s daughter helped him out with his first sales.‎ But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel (频道) to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes, they had sold more than 4,000 units.‎ This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth, and it has: more than two million dollars so far and it’s till selling to thousands of American housewives all across the USA.‎ ‎25．Working in the restaurant, Peter ________.‎ A．was chosen to be the manager B．broke a meatballmaking machine C．found a chance to make money D．was poor at making meatballs by hand ‎26．Which of the following helped Peter’s business take off?‎ A．A local shop.‎ B．A friend’s daughter.‎ C．A TV shopping channel.‎ D． A local manufacturer.‎ ‎27．What’s the right order to describe Peter’s life?‎ A．Dish washer→teacher→inventor→businessman B．.Teacher→dish washer→inventor→businessman.‎ C．Businessman→dish washer→inventor→teacher.‎ D．Inventor→businessman→dish washer→teacher.‎ ‎28．What can we learn from the story?‎ A．Where there is a will, there is a way.‎ B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ C．Better late than never.‎ D．In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.‎ 参考答案：25-28.CCBA ‎ ‎[五]‎ It was another frustrating day. I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work. I worked at a local restaurant in town.‎ I went to work feeling down. It’s the same thing over and over again, dealing with customers who complain about their food—how the piece of pie that they are served is too big or too small. Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. I was working since 5:00 pm. and we were quite busy. But these elderly women were watching me as I was working really hard to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers. ‎ When they were finished with their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, which grade I was in and what I planned to do in the future. ‎ As they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a confident and gentle voice, “You are going places.” They left the restaurant and I was pretty much in awe. I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me a reason to believe in myself. They picked my spirits up from being down and out and gave me a reason to keep on working hard and to give it my all.‎ ‎21. From the passage we learn that the author ____.‎ A. had a part-time job B. worked in the restaurant all day ‎ C. loved his job at first D. did very well in his lessons ‎22.

There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.‎ I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician. ‎ I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.‎ I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity(囚禁) my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.‎ The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.‎ Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”‎ Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.‎ ‎28.

Be careful about food you give to baby birds.‎ 参考答案：28-31．CBDA ‎[七]‎ This happened when I was ten.‎ My girl cousin had decided to be a boy for Halloween, so my aunt called my mom to borrow some of my clothes. The next morning, they came to our house early before school. My cousin told me that she was going to be a boy for Halloween and wear some of my clothes. I told her that I didn’t care. Then, with a big grin(咧嘴笑) on her face, she told me that I was going to be a girl. I told her she was crazy but she said that she had overheard my mom’s plan and that her mom had brought some of her clothes for me.‎ So I went to the living room to see our moms. Then I knew she wasn’t lying. There was a wig(假发）on the 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 aunt said that it would be really cute. Then Mom told me not to be a stick-in-the-mud. She said that it would be fun and she wanted to see what I’d look like as a little girl. I told them I absolutely would not do it!‎ I was still refusing twenty minutes later… when my aunt was putting make-up on me. I was wearing a pink party dress, the blond wig with ‎ pigtails(辫子) and earrings. My cousin wore one of my sweatshirts, my jeans and a baseball cap. We were sent to school like that, where I spent a sad day. The kids thought it funny that we were dressed that way and made stupid comments about us. They also played jokes on us and I’ve never been so uncomfortable.‎ I still don’t like Halloween to this day!‎ ‎32.

I reviewed the driver’s manual for the hundredth time. I was ready. I knew the manual backward and forward; I had made an “A” in my driver’s training course, and I was a genius behind the wheel.‎ Finally, the door opened and a weary-looking man in a brown uniform let me in. ‎ ‎“Let me guess. You want to take the driver’s test.” his voice was not enthusiastic.‎ ‎“Yes!” I answered in excitement.‎ ‎“Ok, fill this out, and if you pass we’ll go for a drive.”‎ I grabbed the test and rushed to the desk where I filled it out in record time. A quick check showed that my paper was perfect.‎ ‎“Let’s get in the car.” He tossed me a set of keys, and I slid behind the wheel. Everything was going smoothly as we pulled out of the empty parking lot. I signaled a right hand turn, and we were on a deserted street. This was going to be easy.‎ ‎“Turn left and go up Young Blood Hill,” he ordered. My hometown is in the mountains, and Young Blood Hill was almost vertical. As I eased up the steep hill and came to a stop at the top, I heard the car’s engine die. My heart sank. I would have to start it again without rolling back down the hill. I swallowed hard and turned the key; as I moved my foot from the brake, the car began to roll. I suppose I could have rolled all the way back to the bottom except for one thing. There was something behind me which stopped my roll with a rough shake and crash of glass—a police car.‎ The policeman wrote me a ticket as I looked over the damage, and the man from the Driver’s License Office slid behind the wheel. I waited until we had parked before I asked how long a person had to wait before taking the test again. ‎ ‎24. What time does “that Tuesday morning” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. The morning when he made an “A” in his driver’s training course.‎ B. The morning when he knew the driver’s manual perfectly well.‎ C. The first Tuesday morning immediately after his16th birthday.‎ D. The Tuesday morning right before his 16th birthday.‎ ‎25. Why didn’t the car roll back to the bottom?‎ A. The engine died.‎ B. It hit a police car.‎ A. The writer braked it hard.‎ B. The man from the Driver’s License Office helped make it stop.‎ ‎26. From the underlined sentence “I grabbed the test and rushed to the desk where I filled it out in record time”, we can know that ______. ‎ A. the writer didn’t like the man from the Driver’s License Office.‎ B. the writer was excited and eager to go for the driver’s test.‎ C. time for the test was tight.‎ D. the test paper was very easy.‎ ‎27. What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. The man from the Driver’s License Office got a ticket.‎ B. The policeman drove the car away after the accident.‎ C. The writer failed the driving test.‎ D. The writer didn’t want to take the driving test again. ‎ 参考答案：24~27 CBBC ‎[九]‎ The class in America is almost the same as that in China．But some things are different．‎ ‎　In America, if the teacher asks you a question but you don’t understand, you should put up your hand and ask the teacher to repeat it．If you don’t know the answer, it is all right to tell the teacher that you don’t know．Then he or she knows what you need to learn．‎ ‎　You mustn’t be absent on a test day．If you’re seriously ill, call and let the teacher know you will not be there for the test．If your teacher allows make-up test(补考）, you should take the test in one or two days after you go back to school．‎ ‎　Be on time!It is impossible to be late．If you come in late, be sure to do it quietly．Take your books out of your bag after you enter the room．Then go to your seat and sit down quietly．In the US, you needn’t knock before you come into the classroom．‎ If you have to leave during the class, do it quietly, too．There is no need to ask for the teacher’s agreement.‎ ‎26.When a teacher asks you a question but you don’t know the answer, you should ________．‎ A．repeat the question B．Tell the teacher you don’t know C．give an answer D．Find out the answer ‎27.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word“ absent ”?‎ A．早到的 B．迟到的 C．缺席的 D．作弊 ‎28.

One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.       I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.        In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.       However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I ‎ respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.‎ ‎ After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.‎ ‎31. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because_________.‎ A. the manager asked him to do so     B. he respected the elderly C. the couple wanted him to do so      D. he wanted more pay ‎32. When Jack called the couple "elderly", they became _________.‎ A. nervous B. satisfied       C. unhappy D. excited ‎33. In Jack's hometown, _________.       ‎ A. people dislike being called "old"       B. people are proud of being old C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty ‎ D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants ‎34. After this experience, Jack _________.‎ A. lost his job in the restaurant       B. made friends with the couple C. no longer respected the elderly       D. changed his way with older people ‎35. Which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got. B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience. C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple. D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.‎ 参考答案：31--35BCBDD ‎
