‎2018届二轮复习 阅读理解记叙文10篇训练（三）‎ ‎【一】‎ He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris. When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: “I haven't time. Take them to the other fellow on the main street ; he'll fix them for you right away.”‎ ‎ But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). “No,” I replied, “the other fellow can't do it well.”‎ ‎ “The other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys “while-U-wait” -- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, andwhen they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) you might as well just throw away the pair.‎ ‎ My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron ( 围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “Come back in a week.”‎ ‎ I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.‎ ‎ “See what I can do?” he said with pride. “Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work.. ”‎ ‎ When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange, dusty felt hat, his funny accent from who-knows-where and, above all, his pride in his craft.‎ ‎ These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old, way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.‎ ‎60. Which of the following is true about the old cobbler.'?‎ ‎ A. He was equipped with the best repairing tools.‎ ‎ B. He was the only cobbler in the Marais.‎ ‎ C. He was proud of his skills.‎ ‎ D. He was a native Parisian.‎ ‎61. The sentence “He was something out of an ancient legend.” ( paragraph 7 ) implies that ‎ ‎ A. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him ‎ B. it was difficult to communicate with this man ‎ C. the man was very strange ‎ D. the man was too old ‎62. According to the author, many people work just to .‎ ‎ A. realize their abilities ‎ B. gain happiness ‎ C. make money ‎ D. gain respect ‎63. This story wants to tell us that .‎ ‎ A. craftsmen make a lot of money ‎ B. whatever you do, do it well ‎ C. craftsmen need self-respect ‎ D. people are born equal 答案 60.C 61.A 62.C 63.B ‎【二】‎ When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主)in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator’s(解说者的) part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn’t tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.‎ It was a lovely spring day .We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I am going to dig up all these weeds,” she said. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”‎ ‎“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful—even dandelions!”‎ My mother looked at me seriously. “ Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is true of people, too,” she added.‎ When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.‎ ‎ “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.‎ Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.‎ ‎56．The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because .‎ ‎ A．she felt nervous on the stage ‎ B．she lost her interest in that role ‎ C．she preferred the role of the narrator ‎ D．she had difficulty memorizing her words ‎57．Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden?‎ ‎ A．To remove the dandelions ‎ B．To enjoy the garden scene.‎ ‎ C．To have a talk with her daughter.‎ ‎ D．To help her daughter with the play.‎ ‎58．What is the main idea of the story?‎ ‎ A．Everybody can find his or her own way to success.‎ ‎ B．Everybody has his or her own value in the world.‎ ‎ C．Everybody should learn to play different roles.‎ ‎ D．Everybody has some unforgettable memory.‎ 答案 56.A 57.C 58.B ‎【三】‎ The Marches were a happy family .

Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. "Banana 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira"‎ ‎ He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 total for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill He didn't have change, so I told him not to worry.‎ ‎ He .said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.‎ ‎ When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the comer selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.‎ ‎ I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What's up”. I asked him. “I...I don't have money to buy books for ‎ school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills.‎ ‎ "Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. "Thank you, sir," he said. 'Thank you very much.”‎ ‎ When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for school-books. What if he's a cheat (骗子)? And then I wondered why I did it Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.‎ ‎ Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face ‎ "oh, gosh! Long time."‎ ‎ "Are you in school now?” I asked.‎ ‎ He nodded.‎ ‎ "That's good," I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. "Here," I held out a 500 naira bill. "Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. "What's wrong?” I asked. "It's a gift"‎ ‎ He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. HIS face shone with sweat (汗水)。 He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, "I've been waiting to give these to you."‎ ‎64.

For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the onely child’s habit of making up stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions（文学志向） were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated（孤独） and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.     However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had “chair-like teeth” - a good enough expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local(地方的) newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nature poems”. I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those years.‎ ‎56.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to       .‎ A. the quantity of serious writing B. the writer’s first poem C. the writer’s childhood D. the tiger in the poem ‎57.From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer     .‎ A. had no playmates B. showed his gift for writing C. put out lots of poems and stories D. got his first poem published in 1916‎ ‎58.What can be inferred about the writer?‎ A. He was least favoured in his family.‎ B. He had much difficulty in talking with others.‎ C. He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.‎ D. His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing.‎ 答案 56.B 57.B 58.D ‎【八】‎ LONDON Thursday Just Read—Eddy missed his girlfriend so made he flew back to Britain from Austrahe to propose(求婚)　to her.The pooblem is she did the same in the opposite diffion.‎ He and Anna crea manaed to miss each other when the the same airporr waiting room in Singaoore at he same time to wait for connecting mghrs.‎ Anna,heartbrok,when she arrived at Eddy’s Sydney flat lind he had flow to London,told times,“It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on. ”‎ ‎“He is the most romantic person I have ever known.I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的)people.We are always trying to surprise each other.”‎ After an 11,000-mile flight across gome,she wa greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing.‎ Eddy,a 27-year-old enginee taken year off to travel round Austr be he was missing Anna,a 26-year sece,so much he got a job on a Syd (工地)and started savir for a surprase.‎ He then flew bome no and went to her flat armed with engegerment(订婚)　ring,wine ‎ and thougens.‎ ‎“I really miseed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the come I was so excited when she phoned me flom Ausrralia,”he said.‎ Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on tbe phone .“I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,”she said.‎ Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddy’s friends before going back home.Eddy and to stav in Britain for two weeks beean a could not change his ticket.‎ ‎45.What does the last sentence of the first paragraph tell us?‎ A.Anna flew to Britain from Australia to marry him.‎ B.Anna flew to Australia from Britain to marry him.‎ C.Anna flew to Britain from Australia to propose to him.‎ D.Anna flew to Australia from Britain to propose to him.‎ ‎46.The underlined word“miss”in paragraph 2 most probably means_______.‎ A.escape from B.fail to understand C.fail to meet D.long to see ‎ ‎47.Eddy got a job on a Sydney building site because he________.‎ A.wanted to travel round Australia ‎ B.needed monev to pay his daily cost C.was an engineer at this building site D.hoped to make money from this job ‎48.Which of the following is TRUE about Eddy and Anna according to the text?‎ A.Eddy proposed to Anna on the phone and Anna accepted.‎ B.Anna stayed in Australia waiting for Eddy’s arrival.‎ C.Anna bad a good time touring Sydney with Dddy.‎ D.Eddy met Anna in the airport waiting room by chance.‎ 答案 45.C 46.A 47.B 48.A ‎【九】‎ A month after Hurricace Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans.
