2019届二轮复习完形填空专题记叙文10篇训练之四十一 [一] When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family. I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days. Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend. One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams. After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day. 32.

It was a frightening, yet fun experience. My granddad was the one who taught me, and he helped me when I got hurt. The first time I got on a bike, I had no idea what I was doing, and just about everything went wrong. My granddad told me to just put my feet on the pedals and start, pedaling(骑自行车). He also told me he would hold onto the back of the bike the whole time, yet he didn't. As soon as I started trying to balance myself, he let go. I happened to look back just then. I was scared to death that I was going to fall and hurt myself. When I was scared, my mind went blank from pedaling, and I just wanted off. I forgot how to use the brakes(车闸) and fell right off the bike. My granddad kept encouraging me to get up and try again, and after about 15 minutes, I finally stopped crying, got up and tried again. As soon as I started pedaling again, my pants got caught in the chain, and I fell flat on my face and hit my nose. Since that happened, my granddad decided to call it a day and try again the next morning. The next morning I woke up bright and early, and was very eager to try to ride my bike. My nose felt better, so I wasn't that afraid of falling anymore. Though I knew there were a lot of difficulties on the way to mastering the skills in riding a bike, l believed I could do well with my granddad's help. After all, riding a bike was what I wanted to do eagerly. 25. How was the author when he was on the bike first? A. He didn't know where he would be going. B. He thought balancing himself was easy. C.

Which of the following could be the title for the passage? A. The Experience of My First Riding a Bike B. The Difficulty I Met with My Granddad C. The First Time I Got My Own Bike D. The Great Moment When I Stayed with My Granddad 参考答案:25-28 CCBA [三] July 21st,2007 was a typical English summer's day - it rained for 24 hours! As usual, I rushed home from work at midday to check on the house. Nothing was amiss. By the time I left work at 5 pm, however,the road into our village was flooded. Our house had never been flooded but, as I opened the front door, a wave of water greeted me. Thank God the kids weren't with me, because the house was 5 feet deep in water. We lost everything downstairs. And the plaster had to be torn off the walls, ceilings pulled down. At first we tried to push on through. We didn't want to move the children out of home, so we camped upstairs. We put a sheet of plastic across the floor to protect us from the damp. But after three months, we felt very sick, so we moved to a wooden house in a park. The house was small, but at first we were all just delighted to be in a new place. Unfortunately, things took longer than expected and we were there for 10 months. The life there was inconvenient. What surprised me most was how much I missed being part of a community (社区). We had lived in a friendly village with good neighbours,and I'd never thought how much I'd miss that. Although our situation was very bad, it's difficult to feel too sorry for yourself when you look at what's happening elsewhere. I watched a news report about floods in Northern India and thought,"We didn't have a straw hut(茅草房) that was swept away, and our house is still standing. We're lucky." We moved back home in August. With December coming,there's still reconstruction work to be done, so it's difficult to prepare for Christmas. But I can't wait-I'm going to throw a party for our friends in the village to say thanks for their support. This year, I won't need any gifts - living away from home for months has made me realize how little we actually need or miss all our possessions. Although we are replacing things, there's really no rush-we have our home back, and that's the main thing.

Liu, 23, who is in her final year of a BSc in business administration at the University of Bath, is one of more than 80,000 Chinese students studying in UK universities. They are responsible for a large proportion of the more than £10bn a year that international students contribute to the UK economy. However, research shows that where their academic attainment(成就) is concerned, the picture is not satisfactory. While nearly 58% of all students – and 45% of overseas students graduated with a first-class degree last year, this was true of only 35% of students from China. To find an explanation, Zhiqi Wang and Ian Crawford, lecturers at the University of Bath, compared the performance of Chinese and British undergraduates in each year of their degree. Taking a sample of 100 British and Chinese students and comparing their average marks and final degree classification, they found a dramatic drop in performance among the Chinese students between year one, when they performed better than their UK counterparts, and year two, when they performed worse. They believe the drop results from two factors. First, Chinese students fail to adapt their approaches to learning and so their performance declines in the later years when the complexity of the work increases. Second, many young people in China enroll in higher education due to pressure from family rather than their own motivation. Professor Sedghi thinks part of the problem may be the changing socio-economic background of Chinese undergraduates. While 85% of Chinese students at British universities before 2000 were mature students, often funded by the government, since 2004, however, they have been younger, most funded by their families. Maybe UK institutions need to work harder to take into account what a big challenge it is for young people from a radically different culture and linguistic background to adapt to life in the UK. “We need to do more, contacting students before their arrival, assigning them tutors, encouraging peer-assisted learning, for example,” says Sedghi. 58. What can be inferred about Yali Liu from the passage? A. Her family can’t afford her education in the UK. B. She is bored with the teamwork and group projects. C. She is not good at socializing with local students. D. The university won’t award her a first-class degree. 59. Which of the following is NOT a possible factor for Chinese students’ unsatisfactory attainment? A. They don’t adjust their studying methods in time. B. They are lacking in motivation to achieve success. C. They haven’t got necessary support from the UK universities. D. They are too young and mostly come from poor families. 60. The passage mainly talks about in UK universities. A. the great pressure Chinese students are suffering B. cultural differences between the east and the west C. main reasons for Chinese students’ poor performance D. possible solutions to the problems facing Chinese students 参考答案:58-60.CDC [五] In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans (孤儿) there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children. His idea was simple. He wanted orphans to have a home, and he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Children’s Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in1949. This is how the SOS stand for “Save Our Souls(灵魂).” This means, “Please help us!” An SOS Children’ village gives help to orphans. Hermann Gmeiner’s idea for helping orphans soon spread(传播)all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children’s Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages. Today the children from the first village have grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children’s Villages. In SOS Villages orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest village has 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks meals for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them. Of course, the children don’t spend all their time in the village. They go to school; they go out with their friends. But the village gives them a home—sometimes for the first time in their lives. 24. The SOS Children’s Villages are built for________ first. A. the children who are poor B. the orphans in Europe C. the kind women D. people who died in the war. 25. We can conclude from the article that the money for helping the SOS Villages mainly comes from______. A. governments B. special organization C. people in different countries D. the orphans themselves 26. Which of the following is NOT the work a woman in an SOS Village does for each group of children? A. She lives with the children and looks after them. B. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. C. She cooks meals for children. D. She teaches the children how to use the computer. 参考答案:24-26 BCD [六] Tom appeared on the sidewalk with a bucket of whitewash and a longhandled brush. He stopped by the fence in front of the house where he lived with his aunt Polly. He looked at it, and all joy left him. The fence was long and high. He put the brush into the whitewash and moved it along the top of the fence. He repeated the operation. He felt he could not continue and sat down. He knew that his friends would arrive soon with all kinds of interesting plans for the day. They would walk past him and laugh. They would make jokes about his having to work on a beautiful summer Saturday. The thought burned him like fire. He put his hand into his pockets and took out all that he owned. Perhaps he could find some way to pay someone to do the whitewashing for him. But there was nothing of value in his pockets—nothing that could buy even half an hour of freedom. So he put the bits of toys back into his pockets and gave up the idea. At this dark and hopeless moment, a wonderful idea came to him. It filled his mind with a great, bright light. Calmly he picked up the brush and started again to whitewash. While Tom was working, Ben Rogers appeared. Ben was eating an apple as he walked along the street. As he walked along it, he was making noises like the sound of a riverboat. First he shouted loudly, like a boat captain. Then he said “Ding-Dong-Dong”, “Ding-Dong-Dong” again and again, like the bell of a riverboat. And he made other strange noises. When he came close to Tom, he stopped. Tom went on whitewashing. He did not look at Ben. Ben stared a moment and then said: “Hello! I'm going swimming, but you can't go, can you?” No answer. Tom moved his brush carefully along the fence and looked at the result with the eye of an artist. Ben came nearer. Tom's mouth watered for the apple, but he kept on working. Ben said, “Hello, old fellow, you've got to work, hey?” Tom turned suddenly and said, “Why, it's you, Ben! I wasn't noticing.” “Say—I'm going swimming. Don't you wish you could? But of course you'd rather work—wouldn't you? Of course you would.” Tom looked at the boy a bit, and said, “What do you call work?” “Why, isn't that work?” Tom went back to his whitewashing, and answered carelessly. “Well, maybe it is, and maybe it isn't. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.” “Oh come, now, you don't mean to say that you like it?” The brush continued to move. “Like it? Well, I don't see why I shouldn't like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a fence every day?” Ben stopped eating his apple. Tom moved his brush back and forth, stepped back to look at the result, added a touch here and there, and stepped back again. Ben watched every move and got more and more interested. Soon he said,“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.” Tom thought for a moment, and was about to agree, but he changed his mind. “No—no—it won't do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect. It has got to be done very carefully. I don't think there is one boy in a thousand, maybe two thousand, that can do it well enough.” “No—is that so? Oh come, now—let me just try. Only just a little.” “Ben, I'd like to, but if it isn't done right, I'm afraid Aunt Polly … ” “Oh, I'll be careful. Now let me try. Say—I'll give you the core of my apple.” “Well, here—No, Ben, now don't. I'm afraid …” “I'll give you all of it.” Tom gave up the brush with unwillingness on his face, but joy in his heart. And while Ben worked at the fence in the hot sun, Tom sat under a tree, eating the apple, and planning how to get more help. There were enough boys. Each one came to laugh, but remained to whitewash. By the time Ben was tired, Tom sold the next chance to Billy for a kite; and when Billy was tired, Johnny bought it for a dead rat—and so on, hour after hour. And when the middle of the afternoon came, Tom had won many treasures. And he had not worked. He had had a nice idle time all the time, with plenty of company, and the fence had been whitewashed three times. If he hadn't run out of whitewash, Tom would have owned everything belonging to his friends. He had discovered a great law of human action, namely, that in order to make a man or a boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get. 61. How many characters are mentioned in this story? A. 5 B. 4 C. 6 D.7 62. Why did Tom take all his toys out of his pockets? A. Because he was tired and wanted to play with his toys B. Because he wanted to know if he could buy help with his toys C. Because he wanted to give his toys to his friends D. Because he wanted to throw his toys away 63. We can learn from the passage that ________. A. Tom was interested in whitewashing the fence B. Tom was unwilling to whitewash the fence, but he managed to let other boys do it for him C. Tom had a lot of friends who are ready to help others D. Tom was good at whitewashing the fence, so he looked at the result of work with the eye of an artist 64. What made Ben Rogers eagerly give up his apple and offer to brush the fence for Tom? A. His curiosity about Tom's brushing job. B. Tom's threat. C. His warm heart and kindness to friends. D. Aunt Polly's idea. 65. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage? A. Whitewashing A Fence B. Tom And His Fellows C. The Happy Whitewasher D. How To Make The Things Difficult To Get 参考答案:61-65 ABBAC [七] Lucille Clifton was the first African American Poet Laureate of Maryland. Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time. Lucille Clifton was born in Depew, New York in 1936.She began writing poetry when she was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother, Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mother’s lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew. While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called “Lucy”. Lucille often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world. Unlike her mother, Lucille Clifton’s poetry is anything but traditional. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual(随意的),relaxed language. There is very little punctuation and even less capitalization. Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted(折磨的) and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art. 25.What can be learned from the passage? A. Lucille’s parents influenced her a lot. B. Lucille’s father often read poems to her. C. Lucille’s mother published some poems. D.

A. Lucille’s great works. B. Words that Lucille used. C. Lucille’s writing style. D. Background of Lucille’s poems. 答案:C解析:主旨大意题。综合最后一段“...LucilleClifton’spoetryisanythingbuttraditional...donotrhymeorfollowaspecialkindofpattern...donotusefancywords.”可知,本段是关于其写作风格的。 28.From the passage, we know that Lucille is _______. A. funny B. creative C. selfish D. beautiful 答案:B解析:推理判断题。由第一段所提到的露西尔是Poet Laureate(桂冠诗人),第二段讲她10岁开始写诗,第四段“She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world.”可知。 [八] I was almost 10 years old the first time I remembered to move to a new house. One of the things that troubled me most was that I had to leave in the middle of a book.Our fourth grade teacher, Mrs.Rice, was reading aloud to our fourth grade class from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie—a few pages each day. I was a child in the fifties and sixties, long before the television series started Michael Landon and Melissa Gilbert, so I couldn't just pick up on the story on the black-and-white television in our new living room. I must have told my teacher how sad I was to leave in the middle of Laura's story, which I'd grown to love.Mrs.Rice, in all her wisdom, told me she was sure the book would be waiting in the library in my new town.She said I should go there once we got settled, check it out and finish reading it. The move was not among the easiest I've made in my lifetime.The new teacher was certainly no Mrs.Rice, and with a few fortunate exceptions, the new kids weren't like the friends I'd left behind. My mother knew the comfort I'd found in books through the years—beginning with the first one I remember her reading to me, Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses.So, in her wisdom, she loaded my siblings and me in the car and took us to the Carnegie-style library in our new town. Over the next five decades, I moved more than a half-dozen times, but one thing was constant in each community—the library was one place where I always felt at home and was never worried about what people thought of the “new kid”. 文章大意:人的一生中总是要经历搬家,每次搬家都会有一些新的事情发生,或许好,或许坏。五十年来作者经历了数次的搬家,他总结说无论搬到哪里,图书馆是一个永恒的地方,因为在那里可以感受到回家的感觉。 28.What does the author intend to tell readers in the passage?__A__ A.Books are of great influence. B.Mrs.Rice is a good teacher. C.He is terribly tired of moving. D.His family lives a life of unrest. 解析:推理判断题。在文中作者介绍了他经历了数次的搬家,文章结尾处“...but one thing was constant in each community——the library,was one place where I always felt at home...”说明,在搬家的过程中使他印象最深刻、最受到影响的是作者能从书中找到慰藉和快乐,因此选项A正确。 29.The author felt upset about the first move __C__. A.because he had to say good-bye to Mrs.Rice B.because he lost contact with Laura Ingalls Wilder C.because he couldn't finish the book he liked D.because he had no chance to watch TV 解析:细节理解题。依据文中第二段第一句“One of the things that troubled me most was that I had to leave in the middle of a book.”可知,令作者感到烦恼的是,不得不在书读到一半时离开这所学校。因此选项C正确。 30.What advice did the author get from Mrs.Rice?__D__ A.Take Laura's story with him everywhere. B.Laura's story isn't the best one in the world. C.He'd better settle down in a local library. D.Pay a visit to the local library as possible. 解析:细节理解题。依据文中第四段第二句“Mrs. Rice,in all her wisdom,told me she was sure the book would be waiting in the library,in my new town.”可知,老师劝作者到新家所在城镇的图书馆寻找这本书。由此可知选项D正确。 31.After settling in a new home, the author __D__. A.would find many such good teachers as Mrs.Rice B.was able to get on well with his classmates C.would make a great fortune in life D.looked kind of blue to a certain extent 解析:推理判断题。依据文中第五段第二句“The new teacher was certainly no Mrs.Rice,and with a few fortunate exceptions,the new kids weren't like the friends I'd left behind.”可知,作者每搬到一个新地方,不会总遇到这么好的老师和像往日那样的朋友。由此可知作者生活在一个陌生环境中,心情会不愉快的。故选项D正确。 [九] After the earthquake had stopped,when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman's house,they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping(做礼拜);her body was leaning forward,and her two hands were supported by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head. With so many difficulties,the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman's body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However,the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure. He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For some reasons,the team leader was driven by compelling force to go back to the ruined house of the dead woman. Again,he knelt down and used his hand through the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly,he screamed with excitement,“A child!There is a child!” The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3monthold little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother's dead body. Obviously,the woman had made a sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling,she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up. The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket,he saw a cell phone. There was a text message on the screen. It said,“If you can survive,you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was passing around from one hand to another. Everybody that read the message wept. “If you can survive,you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother's love for her child! 21.Why did the leader of the rescue team decide to leave the house? A.He didn't notice the woman. B.He knew the woman was dead. C.He left to ask for help. D.The gap was too narrow for his hand to get through. 22.The reason why the woman died in such a strange pose was that . A.she tried to protect her baby with her own body B.the earthquake happened when she was worshiping C.her knees were severely injured D.her hands were supported by an object 23.What can be the best title for the passage? A.A strange pose in the ruins B.A mother's love in the ruins C.A rescue team's struggle D.A heartbreaking scene 参考答案: 21-23.

I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is. However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in. This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it. When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway. Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into. 58. Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ______. A. the meaning of success B. the reasons for success C. the standards of success D. the importance of success 59. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______. A. work makes one feel pain B. one tends to enjoy his work C. it takes a lot of time to succeed D. one gives up his work easily 60.
