2019 届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题 10 篇训练之四十二 [一] Four days after Dad’s 67th birthday, he had a heart attack. He was lucky—he survived. But something inside him had died. His enthusiasm for life was gone. My husband and I asked Dad to live with us on our small farm, hoping the fresh air would help him adjust. Within a week after he moved in, I regretted the invitation. He criticized everything I did. I became frustrated. One day I read an article about a nursing home. Several depressed patients’ attitudes had improved dramatically when they were given dogs. So I drove to the animal shelter that afternoon. As soon as I got there, a pointer’s(指示犬) eyes caught my attention. He watched me calmly. A staff member said, “He got here two weeks ago and we’ve heard nothing. His time is up tomorrow.” I turned to the man in horror. “You mean you’re going to kill him?” “Ma’am,” he said gently, “we don’t have room for every unclaimed dog.” The pointer’s calm brown eyes awaited my decision. “I’ll take him,” I said. Glancing at the dog, Dad wrinkled his face and turned back toward the house. Then, suddenly, the pointer pulled free from my grasp. He sat down in front of Dad. Dad’s anger melted, and soon he was hugging the animal. It was the beginning of a warm friendship. Dad named the pointer Cheyenne. Together they spent long hours walking down dusty lanes and relaxing on the banks of streams. Dad’s bitterness faded, and he and Cheyenne went on to make many friends. Then, one night two years later, I felt Cheyenne’s cold nose searching through my bed covers. He had never come into our bedroom before at night. I ran into my father’s room and found that he had passed away. Two days later, my shock and grief deepened when I discovered Cheyenne lying dead beside Dad’s bed. As I buried him near their favorite stream, I silently thanked the dog for restoring Dad’s peace of mind. 【语篇导读】作者的爸爸病愈后对生活失去了信心,作者领养的一只狗使作 者的爸爸恢复了心灵的安宁。在作者爸爸去世两天后小狗在他的床边也死去了。 1.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful. I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety. I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree. The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down. Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring. A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so. 【语篇导读】本文介绍了作者在野生动物园当志愿者时的一次经历。他帮助 拯救了一只当时只有两、三周大的猫头鹰。 1.

Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked. Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband. “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning,” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda (汽水) went up my nose. I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system.So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery (墓地). I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser (募捐活 动).She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy .Four years ago, she had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends .Her husband was gone, but life went on. I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine,” she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about the community. The community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen. 【语篇导读】本文讲述作者当报童时关心一位丧偶的顾客,每次送报都会停 留一会儿倾听她的故事,而作者多年后又被自家的送报员关心。由此作者感悟到 社区邻里之间应互相关心,倾听别人的烦恼与忧愁。 1.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week.” A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations. Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I’m just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?” “Oh, sure.” “So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?” “Nobody. I do it.” “Really—at night, when you’re asleep?” “Sure.” “Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?” 【语篇导读】主要介绍一名教师,在最初授课时给学生布置组装玩具的任务, 以逐步培养学生的想象力与创造力。 1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to . A. know more about the students B. make the lessons more exciting C. raise the students’ interest in art D. teach the students about toy design 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“...I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students.” 可知,这位老师最初给学生布置这个任务目的是了解这些学生。故选 A 项。 2. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. He liked to help his teacher. B. He preferred to study alone. C. He was active in class. D. He was imaginative. 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。根据文章第三段可以得知,这个男孩组装好的玩具堆满了美 术教室的一个架子,家里的卧室也被占了相当大的地方。“我”为能有这样一位 有创造力的学生而倍感欣慰。他的存在意味着“我”的课堂上有了一位意想不到 的教学助手,他的创造力会感染其他学生,让他们也参与进来。由此可以看出这个 男孩是有创造力、有想象力的。故选择 D 项。 3. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Mistake. B. Drawback. C. Difficulty. D. Burden. 答案 B 解析 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段可知,鼓励孩子有这种想象力也会有不利的 一面。要冒一定的风险,可能会失去那些有不同思维方式的学生。必定有人会说 “我就是没有创造力。”因此可以看出此段重在介绍上述这种做法存在的弊端。 因此 B 项正确。 4. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams? A. To help them to see their creativity. B. To find out about their sleeping habits. C. To help them to improve their memory. D. To find out about their ways of thinking. 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。文章第四段最后一句“But I’m just not creative.”引 出下文师生间的对话,根据文章最后一句“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”可以看出,老师以孩子晚上做的梦引出白天课堂上要勇于尝试, 大胆想象。因此 A 项正确。 [五] Grandparents Answer a Call As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents.com,83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family. “In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.” Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder. 【语篇导读】文章介绍了美国的一种社会现象:一些老人搬到子女身边,与成 年子女以及孙子孙女们一起生活。 1. Why was Garza’s move a success? A. It strengthened her family ties. B. It improved her living conditions. C. It enabled her to make more friends. D. It helped her know more new places. 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“...giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.”可知,Garza 的搬家行动是成功的,因为家人之间的关系更加亲密,关系得到加强。 2. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson’s decision? A.17% expressed their support for it. B. Few people responded sympathetically. C.83% believed it had a bad influence. D. The majority thought it was a trend. 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句内容可推断出,大多数人认为老人搬到 成年的子女身边和子女共同生活是一种社会发展趋势。 3. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s? A. They were unsure of themselves. B. They were eager to raise more children. C. They wanted to live away from their parents. D. They had little respect for their grandparents. 答案 C 解析 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推断出,20 世纪 60 年代的人们不希望与 父母生活在一起。 4. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph? A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own. B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them. C. Sacrifice for their struggling children. D. Get to know themselves better. 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推断出,作者建议祖父母们在做决定的 时候应该以他们自己的最大利益为出发点。 [六] On the first day of school our professor introduced a new classmate—a wrinkled little old lady—to us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old. After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted, listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She tended to be highly motivated, responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities could form a vital part of her experience, creating unique chances for friendship and learning. At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m so nervous.” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. If you’re nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty. If I’m eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. It’s non-optional but that doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this way the elderly don’t have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.” Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing The Rose. She challenged us to study the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives. At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be. 【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了一位励志的老太太,她在 87 岁的时候实现了她 的大学梦。 1. Why does the author compare Rose to the “time machine” in Paragraph 2? A. To stress her old age and knowledge of life. B. To describe the close friendship between them. C. To show that she always enjoyed her active life. D. To explain why she took on a challenge in college. 答案 A 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段提到的“...she was eighty-seven years old.” 以及下文的“...as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.”可知, 其原因是因为她的年龄和她丰富的生活阅历,所以选 A 项。 2.Rose was invited to speak at the football meal most probably because . A. she was a great football fan B. she was the smartest student C. she tried hard to achieve her dream D. she became more educated than the others 答案 C 解析 推理判断题。上文提到她 87 岁了上大学,甚至参加了某种形式的体育活动。 她说课外活动可以成为她经历的重要组成部分,为友谊和学习创造独特的机会。 由此可知,虽然年龄大了,但是她还是尽力实现梦想,所以 C 项正确。 3.We can learn that Rose agreed with the idea that . A. growing old means growing up B.it takes talent and ability to grow up C. receiving high education helps to be courageous D.one grows old at the same time when he grows up 答案 B 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Anybody can grow older. It’s non-optional but that doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change.”可知,任何人都会变 老。这是无法选择的,但不需要任何才能和能力。关键在于要在不断变化的机会 中成长。由此可知 B 项正确。 4.The passage is intended to . A. provide an example for the elderly B. discuss how to grow up quickly C. tell the importance of attending college D. inspire the readers to live up to lives 答案 D 解析 推理判断题。通读全文可知,老人在 87 岁时实现了上大学的梦想,在大学 积极参加力所能及的活动。结合文章的最后一句“...who taught us by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.”可知,D 项正 确。 [七] 26-year-old Anna Cherdantseva, from the city of Ufa in Russia, is a full-time employee of a furniture company, spending up to 10 hours every day trying out new sofas for comfort and safety. Last month, Russian furniture giant M25 Group announced that it was taking application for a new position. Although all new products are tested in a specialized laboratory, management decided that in order to better meet the needs of consumers it needed some feedback(反馈) on real-life use of its sofas. In just a few days,M25 received over 5,000 job applications. “We selected candidates in several stages,” M25 Group spokesperson Anastasia Russkih said. “Initially we checked their CVs, and then we let them tell us why they wanted the job.” Eventually, the furniture company shortlisted just 7 candidates, out of which Anna Cherdantseva, a 26-year-old marketing expert, proved to be the most suitable for the job. “It was a real fight for my dream job,” Anna said after getting selected. Despite describing herself as an active person, Cherdantseva said that spending about 10 hours a day sitting on sofas didn’t sound bad at all. “Of course I will spend a lot of time on new sofas. The more time I spend on them, the better it will be for my work,” she told reporters. Anna Cherdantseva is at present on a three-month probation(试用期) at M25,but the company claims that as long as she proves to be up to the task, they plan on offering her a permanent position. The young woman will receive a monthly salary of 56,000 rubles($1,000) for the first three months. It’s not so bad for sitting on the job. 【语篇导读】文章主要讲述了 26 岁的 Anna Cherdantseva 应征当沙发体验 师的故事。 1.

Needless to say, I love my subject and one day vowed to impart(透露) my love of literature to my future students. Well, I must admit, I have made more than a difference. I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers. One student in particular is named John. I met him last year when he was a student in my English class during the eighth period. He often sat in the back, saying very little. However, I sensed that he was taking in all that I taught. John was never absent or late. He seemed very mature for his age. As the year progressed, we read lots of poetry and various stories about different cultures and real-life experiences. I have always wanted to talk literature to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read, write and interpret. While reading and writing poetry, John wrote some beautiful poetry that spoke of his experiences as a black male in America. On the last day of school, students were asked to write a brief autobiographical essay and to dedicate(献给) it to someone he or she thought was significant in his or her life. John dedicated his essay to me and used clip art that decorated the dedication with roses. He stated in the essay, “Some people you meet in life are flowers, but then there are those who are roses. Ms. Hopkins, I just want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you.” Tears streamed down my eyes. I had had a particularly hard personal life that year and somehow that letter made it worth the struggle. Making a significant contribution to someone’s life is something money could never buy. Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone. 【语篇导读】本文告诉我们,教学可以让老师在一个人的生活中产生积极影 响。 1. What’s the author’s purpose to take John for example? A.

Why did John choose to dedicate his autobiographical essay to Ms. Hopkins? A. He thought she was significant in his life. B. He wanted to say to her that she was a red rose. C. He expected her to know he had enjoyed her class. D. He remembered she had promised to let him be a poet. 答案 A 解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Ms. Hopkins, I just want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you.”可知,约翰选择把他的自传文 章献给霍普金斯老师是因为他认为她对他来说很重要。 3.What kind of person was the author according to the text? A. Gentle. B. Passionate. C. Humorous. D. Indifferent. 答案 B 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Needless to say, I love my...to my future students.”可知,作者是充满激情的,所以选 B 项。 4. Which of the following can be the best title for this text? A. The difference a good teacher can make. B. The friendship Ms. Hopkins and John developed. C. An experience only Ms. Hopkins and her students could have. D. The significant contribution everyone can make. 答案 A 解析 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一句“Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone.”可知 A 项高度概括文章主题。 [九] Bethany Burke was packing for a family vacation when she glanced in the mirror and froze. She saw a small ugly red bump in the middle of her forehead. She had no idea, however, that how much worse it would get. Bethany, a 15-year-old high school student, tried to forget about the bump as she boarded a flight from her hometown of Austin, Texas, to Portland, Oregon. But during the flight the bump grew. And grew. And grew. After the plane landed, more bumps appeared, including one close to her eye. Her parents took her to the nearest emergency room. As it turned out, Bethany had been attacked by a superbug (超级病菌). Superbugs were once a problem only in hospitals and nursing homes.In the past decade, though, they have been affecting healthy children and adults as well. In a few hours, they can cause life-threatening infections. “Teens, especially student athletes, can be easily hurt because superbugs stay in warm, damp places where people come into close contact with each other, such as school locker rooms and gyms,” says Dr. Aaron Glatt, an infectious disease specialist. “If you get cut playing sports, and you come into contact with a superbug on a mat, you give it a way to get in,” he explains. As for Bethany, she said the doctor didn’t seem too concerned. “He just handed me this pill, an antibiotic (抗生素),” Bethany said. “He gave us the impression that it was going to clear up very fast.” It didn’t take long for Bethany to realize the antibiotics the doctor had given her didn’t work. One of the bumps grew so large that she could no longer open her eye, and her pain increased. Her parents rushed her to another hospital. The new medicines seemed to start working. Her fever dropped, and the bumps stopped growing. Luckily for Bethany, there were still three powerful antibiotics that together were able to fight off her infection. But what happens when superbugs become resistant even to those drugs? For doctors, that’s the biggest worry. 【语篇导读】 文章讲述了一个女孩感染了超级病菌的一次经历。 1.Bethany discovered a bump on her forehead .

Jessica Sebastian, owner of Sebastian Design, was contacted by Danielle Munger, whose daughter, Brynn, lost an eye because of cancer. Danielle asked Jessica if she could make a bunny doll with one eye. “I make dolls, which is not a heroic profession by any means. But recently I was asked to make a doll for a little girl who is a true superhero,” Jessica wrote. “A woman contacted me and asked if I would make a bunny doll with one eye for her two-year-old daughter who loves animals and lost her left eye to cancer. The girl had started to notice that she was different and her sweet mama read articles about a doll which looks like a child can be helpful and therapeutic (有益健康).She wanted her daughter to have a doll that looks like her and only has her right eye. Up to now,I don’t think I’ve ever been asked to create something so meaningful.” Brynn received the special gift on March 25 during her family birthday party. “She smiled so big and then she would not open the rest of her presents until we got the bunny out of her box and she could show her off to all her cousins and family,” Danielle said. That evening, Danielle snapped a photo of Brynn in her wonder woman pajamas looking at the bunny doll happily. She recalled her daughter saying, “She matches me!” “My favorite part of this photo is how she is wearing her wonder woman nightgown,” Jessica said. “It perfectly represents the strength and course of this little superhero.” 【语篇导读】一个小女孩因为癌症失去了一只眼睛。在女孩开始注意到她与 别人不同时,她的妈妈希望女儿能有一个像她一样只有一只眼睛的兔娃娃。于是 妈妈去请求 Jessica,最终 Jessica 不负所望,让女孩在生日那天得到了这份特殊 的礼物。 1.
