‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文阅读理解10篇训练之二十二 ‎[一]‎ In a small town of the USA, under the protection of his loyal（忠诚的）and beloved dog, a lost boy was found safe and sound. After 3-year-old Carson Urness went missing from his yard around 7:30 p.m. Monday, a search party of about 200 people was organized to find the child. About seven hours later, one of them found the golden German shepherd dog（牧羊犬）near a hill; Carson was hiding under the dog. It appeared the dog had used his body to shield the missing boy from a thunderstorm. “It was unexpected, but then I knew Cooper was gone. If anyone was going to find him, they’d just have to find Cooper,” Carson’s mother told WDAZ-TV. The boy and his dog were discovered about a mile away from the family’s Cooperstown farm. Though those on foot were called off from the search around 2 a.m. Tuesday because of heavy rain, ATV riders continued until one car found the dog. As Carson rode back to the family home on the ATV, Cooper reportedly followed behind. The 3-year-old was taken to a local hospital for examination but appeared to be in good shape thanks to his loyal dog. The boy’s father, Brock Urness told ABC News he was thankful to everyone who helped look for the boy. “We are very thankful to the police and local fire station and all the people with horses and cars and the walkers,” Urness told reporters. 21. The underlined word “shield” in the second paragraph most probably means “     ”.

After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.‎ Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.‎ This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around，and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached，and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.‎ The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and there seemed to be more insects around lately.‎ The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.‎ Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.‎ Now，the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.‎ ‎24.

One, brandishing a shotgun, yelled:‎ ‎“This is a holdup. Everybody drop to the floor. Don’t move or we’ll blow your brains out.”‎ The man with the shotgun stayed near the door.

But the little girl from Gates Avenue wore the same dirty dress that she had worn all winter. It was probably the only dress she owned.‎ Her teacher sighed. The little girl was so nice! She always worked hard in school; she was always polite and friendly. But her face was dirty and her hair was untidy.‎ One day the teacher said, “Will you wash your face before you come to school tomorrow morning? Please do that for me.” The teacher could see that the girl was pretty under the dirt.‎ The next morning the child’s pretty face had been washed. Her hair ‎ was clean and tidy, too. Before the little girl went home that afternoon, the teacher said, “Now dear, please ask your mother to wash your dress.”‎ But the little girl continued to wear the dirty dress. “Her mother is probably not interested in her,” the teacher thought. So she bought a bright blue dress and gave it to the little girl. The child took the present eagerly and hurried home as fast as she could.‎ The next morning she came to school in the new blue dress, and she was clean and tidy. She told the teacher, “My mother was surprised when she saw me this morning in my new dress. My father wasn’t at home; he had gone to work. But he will see me at supper this evening.”‎ When her father saw her in the new blue dress, he was surprised to find that he had a pretty little girl. When the family sat down to eat supper, he was even more surprised to find a cloth on the table. The family had never used a tablecloth before. “What is the cloth for?” he asked.‎ ‎“We’re going to be more tidy here,” his wife said. “It isn’t nice to have a house that is dirty and untidy when our daughter is so clean.”‎ After supper the mother started to wash the floors. Her husband watched for a little while without saying anything. Then he went outside into the back yard and began to repair the fence. The next evening, with the family’s help, he started digging for a garden.‎ During the next week, the man who lived in the next house watched what the little girl’s family was doing.

I suppose you would call it shoplifting, but when the item is so cheap there ought to be another word. The manager followed Charles out of the store, took him to his office, lectured him, and told him not come into the place again. I received a telephone call asking me to come and get the child.‎ I have never been so burned up in all my life. That poor youngster was scared half out of his wits. When I came to get him, he was sobbing and shaking like a leaf. You’d have thought that he had stabbed the cashier and held the manager at gun point.‎ I think it is just dreadful that an 11-year-old boy should be made to feel like a criminal over a measly 39-cent pen.‎ Please tell me what can be done about sadistic store managers who would treat a small child like that. This incident might cause permanent psychic damage to my son.‎ ‎ A Boy’s Mother From the desk of ANN LANDERS Dear Mother,‎ Your boy was caught shoplifting and I can think of no better word to describe stealing merchandise from a store.‎ I find it appalling that you attack the manager and defend the boy. A mother who takes her child’s side when he breaks the law does him no favor. If this is your idea of “mother love,” you’re going to have a lifetime of grief and the boy will be a mess. You both need professional help—starting yesterday.‎ ‎21. The underlined word “shoplifting” has similar meaning with .‎ ‎ A. buy B. raise C. steal D. give ‎22. When Charles was caught shoplifting, he .‎ ‎ A. was still happy. B. ran away ‎ C. pointed a gun at the manager D. was frightened to tears.‎ ‎23. Seeing the boy shaking, the mother .‎ ‎ A. burst out laughter. B. got very angry.‎ ‎ C. remained calm. D. stabbed the cashier.‎ ‎24. Ann Landers may be .‎ ‎ A. an advice columnist B. the manager of the drugstore.‎ ‎ C. a newspaper editor. D. an official.‎ ‎25. In Ann Landers’ opinion, the mother .‎ ‎ A. was right. B. should attack the manager.‎ ‎ C. should take her son’s side. D. should tell her child not to break the law.‎ ‎（三四）21. C 词义猜测题。从回信的第一段中可以看出。‎ ‎22. D 细节理解题。从第二段第二、三句中可以看出。‎ ‎23.

People quickly jumped at the wrong words that slipped past his tongue. “Ah,” they said, “now we know how you feel about it.” Freud had made people more suspicious of each other’s thoughts. Many began to believe that, like X-ray machines, they could see through others’ hidden desires and behaviours.‎ There is this story of a Freudian slip by a middle-aged widow. She had eyes on her neighbour, a man who had recently lost his wife. One morning, he was out working in the field when he had a serious accident. He could not move. He shouted for help. The widow rushed down to help him. She saw he was not able to get to his feet. She said, “Quickly! I must marry you!” She meant to say “I must carry you.” This slip of the tongue may have shown that she had just one thing on her mind.‎ But there are many cases where one cannot be so sure. It is easy for a person to get his tongue tangled up only because he is in too great a hurry to say something. There is this example.‎ A country pastor with poor eyesight, one Sunday, read an announcement out loud in church. He said that on Saturday Mr. Wilber James Hamilton, a leading town banker, would join hands in marriage with Nancy George who happened to be a well-known prostitute. He meant to say that Mr. Hamilton would marry Miss Georgia Clancy, daughter of one of the most important families in town. Miss Nancy George was on trial for prostitution and during the week her name was all over the front pages of newspapers. Clearly the pastor simply made a mistake. The poor man was a heavy newspaper reader and just got mixed-up over the sounds Nancy and Clancy.‎ ‎1. The reason why people quickly jumped at the wrong words of a man was that .‎ ‎ A. he said something he did not want to say. ‎ B. the wrong words slipped past his tongue.‎ ‎ C. they knew how be felt about it. ‎ D. they wanted to know the feeling one is not aware of.‎ ‎2. The underlined expression “had eyes on” has similar meaning with .‎ ‎ A. paid attention to B. was fund of ‎ ‎ C. took care of D. looked for ‎3. The widow should have said “ ”.‎ ‎ A. Quickly! I must marry you. ‎ ‎ B. Quickly! I must carry you.‎ ‎ C. both A and B ‎ ‎ D. neither A nor B ‎4. Mr. Wilber James Hamilton was .‎ ‎ A. a country paster B. a well-known prostitute ‎ C. a leading town banker D. both A and B ‎5. All of the following are reasons why the pastor got mixed-up over the sounds Nancy and Clancy except .‎ ‎ A. he read the announcement out loud in church one Sunday.‎ ‎ B. his eyesight was very poor.‎ ‎ C. he name Nancy George was all over the front pages of newspapers during the week.‎ ‎ D. the pastor was a heavy newspaper reader.‎ 参考答案：1.

It was difficult to find enough soldiers for these Guards, as there were not many men who were tall enough.‎ Frederick had made it a rule that no soldiers who did not speak German could be admitted to the Giant Guards, and this made the work of the officers who had to find men for them even more difficult. When they had to choose between accepting or refusing a really tall man who knew no ‎ German, the officers used to accept him, and then teach him enough German to be able to answer if the King questioned him.‎ Frederick sometimes used to visit the men who were on guard around his castle at night to see that they were doing their job properly, and it was his habit to ask each new one that he saw three questions: “How old are you?” “How long have you been in my army?” and “Are you satisfied with your food and your conditions?” The officers of the Giant Guards therefore used to teach new soldiers who did not know German the answers to these three questions.‎ One day, however, the King asked a new soldier the questions in a different order. He began with, “How long have you been in my army?” The young soldier immediately answered, “Twenty-two years, Your Majesty.” Frederick was very surprised. “How old are you then?” he asked the soldier. “Six months, Your Majesty,” came the answer. At this Frederick became angry. “Am I a fool, or are you one?” he asked. “Both, Your Majesty,” the soldier answered politely.‎ ‎1. The soldiers of the Giant Guards must .‎ ‎ A. be handsome B. be strong C. speak German D. not smoke ‎2. The King asked the new soldier questions.‎ ‎ A. three B. six C. nine D. eighteen ‎3. The young soldier was .‎ ‎ A. six months B. twenty-two years old ‎ ‎ C. twenty-two and six months D. We don’t know from the text.‎ ‎4. The new soldier had been in the army for .‎ ‎ A. six months ‎ B. twenty-two years ‎ C. twenty-two years and six months ‎ D. It cannot be seen from the passage.‎ ‎5. The reason why the King was not satisfied with the new soldier’s answers was that .‎ ‎ A. the soldier was a fool ‎ B. the King was a fool ‎ C. both the soldier and the King were fools ‎ D. the King asked the soldier the questions in a different order.‎ ‎（四一）1.

This idea came from the Eskimos who sometimes froze thick pieces of Arctic plants into the ice which they used to build their ice houses. This plant material greatly increased the strength of the ice blocks. It also prevented them from melting easily in the spring.‎ During the early days of World War Ⅱ , the British and Americans tried mixing crushed wood material from paper mills with water and freezing it. They found that it was very strong. A stick of this strengthened ice an inch thick would support the weight of six men. A sheet four inches thick would stop a shot from a gun. It could not be cut with a single blow from an axe. The wood material formed a protecting blanket which stopped the ice from melting. A five-foot block of this ice was boiled in water for four days before it melted. It was floated for weeks in lake water at sixty degrees Fahrenheit without melting.‎ The new ice mixture was called Pykrete, in honour of Geoffrey Pyke, who proposed it to the British, Canadians and Americans during the early part of the war. In those days, German submarines were sinking Allied（联盟的、同盟国）supply ship faster than they could be built. England was in serious need of supplies. The western nations decided to build a ship of Pykrete. The Germans would not be able to sink or even hurt it with big shells from either battleships or aeroplanes. It was to be 2,000 feet long and big enough to carry two hundred small planes and a hundred large ones. It was to weigh 1,700,000 tons. It would be so big that it would not roll or shake in the worst storms. Waves fifty feet high would have no effect on this “ice island”. Ice-making machines would keep the ice below freezing temperature in the walls, which would be forty feet thick. To repair any holes in the ship, very cold water would be applied to fill them with ice.‎ These plans were kept secret while a smaller ice ship was built as an experiment on a lake in Canada. It took only two months for fifteen men to build a Pykrete ship sixty feet long and thirty feet wide. The 1,000 ton ship had engines that could drive it at more than 8.5 miles an hour. All during the hot summer of 1943 the odd ice ship sailed around in water temperatures of up to sixty degrees without melting. The plan was considered a success. But the war came to an end before any big ice ships could be built. ‎ ‎1. A stick of this strengthened ice five inches thick can support the weight ‎ of men.‎ ‎ A. six B. thirty C. thirty-six D. sixty ‎2. If you want to melt a ten-foot block of this ice, you must boil it in water ‎ for days at least.‎ ‎ A. four B. six C. eight D. ten ‎3. Why was the new ice mixture called Pykrete?‎ ‎ A. Because it was invented by Geoffrey Pyke.‎ ‎ B. Because Geoffrey Pyke introduced the new technique to the British, Canadians and Americans.‎ ‎ C. Because this kind of ship can float for weeks in lake water at sixty degrees without melting.‎ ‎ D. Because German submarines were sinking Allied supply ship faster than they could be built.‎ ‎4. Which of the following statements is not true about the biggest ship of Pykrete?‎ ‎ A. It was 2,000 feet long. ‎ B. It weighed 1,7 million tons.‎ ‎ C. It would not roll or shake in the worst storms. ‎ D. It wasn’t built before the war ended.‎ ‎5. A ship of ice ever built has a weight of .‎ ‎ A. 1,000 tons B. 2,000 tons C. 1,700,000 tons D. 1,943 tons 参考答案：1. B 数字计算题。根据第二段第三句可以推断出。‎ ‎2. C 数字计算题。根据第二段倒数第二句可以推断出。‎ ‎3. B 细节理解题。从第三段第一句中可以看出。‎ ‎4.

He was the younger of two sons of an alcoholic Irish-Catholic father, who had trouble keeping a job, and a Protestant mother of Scottish descent, who loved the theater. Reagan painfully recalls the day he came home from school and found his father passed out, drunk, on the front porch.‎ When Reagan was nine, his family settled in Dixon, Ill, where his father tried to make a living selling shoes. It was there, while attending high school, that Reagan did his first acting.‎ After graduating from Eureka College, a small liberal arts school near his home, Reagan began working as a sports announcer. He used the name “Dutch” Reagan, which his father had given him. Doing the play-by-play of football and baseball games, Reagan became widely known throughout the Midwest.‎ While Reagan was in California in 1937 for baseball spring training, an agent from Warner Brothers signed him for his film debut—to play a radio announcer in “Love Is On The Air”. The part marked the beginning ‎ of a 28-year acting career that included more than 50 films.‎ Reagan’s acting career was interrupted in 1942 by a three-year stint in the Army, where he made training films. After he was discharged, he turned his attention more to the political aspects of his profession, taking fewer and fewer film roles. In 1947 he was elected president of the Screen Actors Guild, one of the major labor unions representing Hollywood talent. During his six one-year terms in that post, he successfully negotiated several contracts.‎ ‎1. Which of the following is not true?‎ ‎ A. Reagan had an elder brother. ‎ B.
