‎2018届二轮复习 阅读理解记叙文10篇训练（五）‎ ‎【一】‎ It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There,I n the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.‎ Over the phone, his mother told him,“Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.”Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.‎ ‎“Jack, did you hear me?”‎ ‎“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him.‎ I’m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,”Jack said.‎ ‎“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing.‎ He’d reminisce(回忆) about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,”Mom told him.‎ ‎“I loved that old house he lived in,”Jack said.‎ ‎“You know, Jack,after your father died, Mr.Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man’s influence in your life,”she said.‎ ‎“He’s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn’t be in this business if it weren’t for him.He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important...Mom, I’ll be there for the funeral,”Jack said.‎ Busy as he was,he kept his word.Jack caught the next flight to his hometown.Mr.Belser’s funeral was small and uneventful.He had no children of his own,and most of his relatives had passed away.‎ The night before he had to return home,Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time,which was exactly as he remembered.Every step held memories.Every picture,every piece of furniture...Jack stopped suddenly.‎ ‎“What’s wrong,Jack?”his Mom asked.‎ ‎“The box is gone,”he said.‎ ‎“What box?”Mom asked.‎ ‎“There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk.I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside.All he’d ever tell me was ‘the thing I value most’,”Jack said.‎ It was gone.Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it,except for the box.He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.‎ ‎“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,”Jack said sadly.‎ Returning to his office the next day,he found a package on his desk.The return address caught his attention.‎ ‎“Mr.Harold Belser”it read.‎ Jack tore open the package.There inside was the gold box and an envelope.‎ Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside.‎ ‎“Upon my death,please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett.‎ It’s the thing I valued most in my life.”A small key was taped to the letter.His heart racing,and tears filling his eyes,Jack carefully unlocked the box.There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch.Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover,he opened it.‎ Inside he found these words carved:“Jack,thanks for your time!Harold Belser.”‎ ‎“Oh,my God! This is the thing he valued most...”‎ Jack held the watch for a few minutes,then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days.“Why?”his assistant asked.‎ ‎“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.‎ ‎66.Why did Jack think Mr.Belser died years ago?‎ A.College and career prevented him from remembering Mr.Belser.‎ B.Jack was too busy with his business and family to think about Mr.Belser.‎ C.Jack was too busy realizing his dreams to think about Mr.Belser.‎ D.His present busy life washed away his childhood memories.‎ ‎67.Jack’s mother told him on the phone about Mr.Belser EXCEPT that .‎ A.Mr.Belser often asked how Jack was doing B.Mr.Belser’s funeral would take place on Wednesday C.Mr.Belser had asked for Jack’s mailing address D.Mr.Belser had pleasant memories of their time together ‎68.Why did Belser send Jack his gold watch?‎ A.Because he was grateful for Jack’s time with him.‎ B.Because he had no children or relatives.‎ C.Because he thought he had to keep his word.‎ D.Because Jack had always wanted it during his childhood.‎ ‎69.Why did Jack say he needed some time to spend with his son?‎ A.He was very tired of his work and wanted to have a good rest.‎ B.He had promised to spare more time to stay with his son.‎ C.He had missed his son and his family for days.‎ D.He came to realize the importance of the time with his family.‎ ‎70.Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?‎ A.The Good Old Times B.What He Valued Most C.An Old Gold Watch D.The Lost Childhood Days 答案 66.C 67.C 68.A 69.D 70.B ‎【二】‎ Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.‎ I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice. ‎ After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.‎ I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.‎ She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”‎ ‎“Oh, you’re such a good man,”she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”‎ ‎“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.‎ ‎“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”‎ I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).‎ For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.‎ Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.‎ At dawn, she suddenly said,“I’m tired. Let’s go now.”‎ We drove in silence to the address she had given me.‎ ‎“How much do I owe you?” she asked.‎ ‎“Nothing,” I said.‎ ‎“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.‎ Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”‎ ‎56. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.‎ A. show she was familiar with the city B. see some places for the last time C. let the driver earn more money D. reach the destination on time ‎57.

She settled into the group easily, and would be first on the slide and highest up the climbing frame.She could put on her coat without help and not only fasten her own buttons but other children’s too.‎ She was a lovely child but unfortunately a scratcher.If anyone upset her or stood in her way, her right hand would flash out fast and scratch down the face of her playmates.Children twice her age would fly in fear from her.‎ This must have been very rewarding for Kathy but obviously it had to be stopped.All the usual ways failed and then I remembered an account by G.Atkinson of Highfield School, of how fights in the playground had been stopped.No punishment had been given, but the attacker had been ignored and the victims rewarded.So I decided to try this out on Kathy.‎ With a pocketful of Smarties I followed Kathy around.She was so quick that it was impossible to prevent her scratching, but I was determined to stay within arm’s length all afternoon.‎ All was peaceful but then I saw Kathy’s hand moved and heard the scream.Gently I gathered up the little hurt one in my arms and said “Nice, nice sweetie” and I put a Smartie into her mouth. Kathy opened her mouth, expecting a Smartie and then looked puzzled when she got nothing.‎ Soon came another scream, this time from John.While holding him in my arms, I said, “Look, Kathy, a nice Smartie for John” and put it into John’s mouth.‎ A smile of understanding flashed across Kathy’s face.Minutes later, she came to me and said loudly, “Give me a Smartie! I have hurt my finger!”‎ ‎“No,” I replied, “you’ll get it if someone hurts you.”‎ On purpose, she turned and scratched a nearby boy, Tom, and waited quietly while I mothered and rewarded him, then she walked away.‎ She has never scratched a child since.‎ Parents who find older children bullying younger brothers and sisters might do well to replace shouting and punishment by rewarding and giving more attention to the injured ones.It’s certainly much easier and more effective.‎ ‎65.From the passage, we know that Kathy is _______.‎ ‎ A.sensitive but slow B.smart but a bit rude ‎ C.independent but selfish D.quick but sort of passive ‎66.Kathy scratched Tom because _______.‎ A.she was angry at Tom, who was in her way ‎ B.she wanted to get a Smartie from the teacher ‎ C.she was in the habit of scratching other children D.she wanted to know if the teacher meant what she had said ‎ ‎67.According to the passage, the underlined word “bullying” is closest in meaning to“_______”.‎ A.helping B.punishing C.hurting D.protecting ‎ ‎68.The writer of this passage aims to recommend an approach to _______.‎ ‎ A.rewarding children’s good behavior B.correcting children’s bad behavior C.punishing badly-behaved children D.praising well-behaved children ‎ 答案 65.B 66.D 67.C 68.B ‎【五】‎ One August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs.Carey.Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house.Glancing up, he saw a large wasp’s（黄蜂） nest under the roof.Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (sting, sting, stung蜇) in summer.He mentioned this to Mrs.Carey, who had opened the door.‎ ‎“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly.“I go in and out all the time.”‎ Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again — to see the wasps flying straight at him.“Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs.Carey.“Get in!”‎ She stepped quickly inside.Allen ran for his minibus.Too late; they were upon him.Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arms, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.‎ As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face.An immediate anxiety took hold of him.Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die.But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed.However, what he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.‎ Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder.Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult.He reached for the radio mike(话筒), trying to call the minibus center, but his words were hardly ‎ understandable.Signals were also poor that far out.He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station.So his best chance was to make a run for it.‎ Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn.He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock（休克）.Just then he reached for the radio mike again.‎ ‎“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words.“Emergency.Bee sting.Emergency.There in ten minutes.”‎ ‎“Five-ten,” the center replied.‎ Hold on, Allen thought.Keep your eyes open.Breathe.Keep awake.‎ At last he reached the station.Two firemen ran out.Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground.You made it, he thought.‎ ‎69.It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______.‎ ‎ A.there are huge noises B.strangers are approaching ‎ C.the air is filled with food smell D.the hottest season comes around ‎70.Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______.‎ A.have no after-effects B.suffer from sharper pain C.surely lose his life D.become more sensitive ‎71.Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the minibus center because _______.‎ A.he was unable to speak clearly B.his radio equipment was poor C.he was in a state of shock D.no one was on duty ‎72.Which would be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A.Allen, A Helpless Driver B.Wasps, Bloody Killers C.A Race Against Death D.War Against Wasps 答案 69.D 70.C 71.A 72.C ‎【六】‎ They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon：on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get ‎ started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. ‎ As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed.As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back,our legs were like jelly.‎ The next day, after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon—by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.‎ We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)　the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.‎ As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.‎ ‎41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the second paragraph?‎ A. They made a careful preparation before the trip.‎ B. The children were more joyful than their parents.‎ C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.‎ D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.‎ ‎42.

Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?‎ A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortable.‎ C. It turned out to be exciting. D. It made each of them tired.‎ ‎44. We can infer from the passage that .‎ A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way B. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident 答案 41.C 42.A 43.A 44.C ‎【七】‎ They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon：on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air.

If I went to a friend’s house and found him not at home, his mother might say, “Oh, he’s out in the woods, ” with a tone(语气) of airy acceptance. It’s similar to the tone people sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I’m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even “away from his desk.” For us ten-year-olds, “being out in the woods” was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while.‎ We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring(探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound.‎ Often we got “lost” and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we visited regularly—tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.‎ It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us had reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence(青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set ‎ out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree. Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.‎ ‎52. The author and his friends were often out in the woods to _______.‎ ‎ A. spend their free time B. play golf and other sports ‎ C. avoid doing their schoolwork D. keep away from their parents ‎53. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A. The activities in the woods were well planned.‎ ‎ B. Human history is not the result of exploration.‎ ‎ C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.‎ ‎ D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly.‎ ‎54. The underlined word “skeptical” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.‎ ‎ A. calm B. doubtful C. serious D. optimistic ‎55. How does the author feel about his childhood?‎ ‎ A. Happy but short. B. Lonely but memorable.‎ ‎ C. Boring and meaningless. D. Long and unforgettable.‎ 答案 52.A 53.D 54.B 55.A ‎【九】‎ For a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”‎ ‎ Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.‎ ‎ First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I ‎ read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.‎ ‎ Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.‎ ‎ And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?‎ ‎ I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.‎ ‎52. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ______.‎ A. jogging became very popular ‎ B. people jogged only during the daytime C. Alex organized an army of joggers D. jogging provided a chance to get together ‎53. The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.‎ A. heart attacks B. back problems ‎ C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses ‎54. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?‎ A. He felt it was worth a try. B. He was very fond of it.‎ C. He was strongly against it. D. He thought it must be painful.‎ ‎55. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?‎ A. He disliked doing exercise outside. ‎ B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.‎ C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.‎ D. He was worried about being left alone.‎ ‎56. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.‎ A. not everyone enjoys jogging B. he is the only person who hates jogging C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport 答案 53.D 54.A 55.B 56.A ‎【十】‎ There was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs.Thompson.She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same.But that was a lie.There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath.She did not like him.‎ Then Mrs.Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother.Mrs.Thompson was ashamed of herself.She felt even worse when,like all her other students,Teddy brought her a Christmas present too.It was his mother’s perfume(香水).‎ Teddy said,“Mrs.Thompson,today you smell just like my Mom used to.”After the children left she cried for at least an hour.On that very day,she stopped teaching reading,writing and math.Instead,she began to teach children.‎ Mrs.Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy.The boy’s mind seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him,the faster he improved.By the end of the sixth grade,Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.‎ Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy.He wrote that he had finished high school,third in his class,and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.He went to college.Mrs.Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed.Theodore F.Stoddard,M.D.(医学博士).‎ The story doesn’t end there.On his wedding day,Dr.Stoddard whispered in Mrs.Thompson’s ear,“Thank you,Mrs.Thompson,for believing in me.You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”‎ Mrs.Thompson,with tears in her eyes,whispered back,“Teddy,you have it all wrong.You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference.I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”‎ ‎41.What did Mrs.Thompson do on the first day of school?‎ A.She made Teddy feel ashamed.‎ B.She asked the children to play with Teddy.‎ C.She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.‎ D.She told the class something untrue about herself.‎ ‎42.What did Mrs.Thompson find out about Teddy?‎ A.He often told lies.‎ B.He was good at math.‎ C.He needed motherly care.‎ D.He enjoyed playing with others.‎ ‎43.In what way did Mrs.Thompson change?‎ A.She taught fewer school subjects.‎ B.She became stricter with her students.‎ C.She no longer liked her job as a teacher.‎ D.She cared more about educating students.‎ ‎44.Why did Teddy thank Mrs.Thompson at his wedding?‎ A.She had kept in touch with him.‎ B.She had given him encouragement.‎ C.She had sent him Christmas presents.‎ D.She had taught him how to judge people.‎ 答案 41.D 42.C 43.D 44.B
