‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之十七 ‎[一]‎ Before one man walked upon a muddy New Jersey riverbank, baseball was a deadly game.‎ In 1938, Phillies third－base coach Lena Blackburne happened to step into a stream in the Delaware River, and realized he found a solution for one of baseball’s biggest problems.‎ Back then balls fresh from the box were slippery and hard to control. Players tried to improve their grips (紧握力) with tobacco juice or shoe polish, but as the balls got dirtier, they just got harder to see. Batting helmets hadn’t been invented yet, and players were having trouble keeping their eyes on the errant (无定向的) balls. One batter was even killed.‎ So when Blackburne came across the slippery mud near his hometown fishing hole, his mind went straight to the field. The mud was gritty (含砂的), with the look and feel of chocolate pudding. He brought some home and found that, sure enough, it coated the ball perfectly, improving the grip without damaging the leather. When Blackburne showed the result to American League umpires (裁判员), they gave his mud a thumbs－up. By the 1950s, every major－league team was using it.‎ Now, before every major－and minor－league game (as well as many college games), an umpire or clubhouse attendant wipes a light coat of Blackburne’s magic mud on each ball used. The mud hole’s location remains a closely guarded secret to this day. Only one person, Jim Bintliff, the mud’s farmer, knows where to find it.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了棒球泥的故事。‎ ‎21.

As an orchestra conductor, Amy Andersson allows people to experience the many feelings that music can inspire.‎ Andersson fell in love with music as a child. She sang in school choirs and musicals starting in first grade, began studying piano at age seven, and started composing at age nine. Although her school district had no orchestra, she says, “I bought many recordings of the world’s great orchestras and conductors and listened to them for hours on end.”‎ During a concert, the audience sees the back of a conductor and the arm movements she or he uses to lead the orchestra. What audiences do not see is all the work the conductor has done beforehand to prepare for the performance—first alone, ‎ and then in rehearsals (排练) with the orchestra.‎ Months before a concert, Andersson studies a piece of music by playing it on the piano. She decides how she wants each section to sound. Should it be fast or slow? Loud or soft? She listens to recordings, reads about the composer’s life, and reviews historical events that would have influenced the composer. Her goal is to recreate the music as the composer intended.‎ Each instrument contributes unique sounds to a musical performance. Although it is not necessary for conductors to know how to play all of the instruments, they must be familiar with the range and sound of each instrument in the orchestra.‎ To help young musicians understand how to play the music, Andersson might tell them to imagine a ship being tossed (颠簸) by waves.‎ Andersson is happy knowing that she and the musicians have changed lives for the better, uplifted spirits, and brought joy into ordinary days.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了乐队指挥Andersson把音乐带入生活的故事。‎ ‎21. As a child, Andersson learned about orchestras from________.‎ A. studying piano B. school teachers C. some musicians D. listening to recordings 答案D[细节理解题。由第二段末的I bought many recordings of the world’s great orchestras and conductors and listened to them for hours on end可知。]‎ ‎22. An orchestra conductor________.‎ A. usually enjoys being alone ‎ B. spends a little time rehearsing C. needs to do a lot of preparatory work D. has a few days to prepare for a concert 答案C[推理判断题。由第三段中的What audiences do not see is all the work...with the orchestra可推断，乐队指挥在正式表演前需要做很多的准备工作。]‎ ‎23. Andersson reads about composers’ lives________.‎ A. because she admires them B.to better recreate their music C. because they are very famous D.to introduce them to the audience 答案B[推理判断题。由第四段中的reads about the composer’s life...Her goal is to recreate the music as the composer intended可推断，Andersson之所以了解作曲家们的生活是为了更好地再现他们的音乐。]‎ ‎24. Why is a ship tossed by waves mentioned in Paragraph 6?‎ A. To describe the beauty of orchestral music.‎ B. To tell an adventure story about Andersson.‎ C. To make young musicians more imaginative.‎ D. To show how Andersson teaches young musicians.‎ 答案D[细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的To help young musicians understand how to play the music, Andersson might tell them to...可知。]‎ ‎[三]‎ It was 1948, and Eleanor Abbott was bored. The retired schoolteacher was stuck in a San Diego hospital surrounded by young children who, like her, were suffering from polio (小儿麻痹症).The kids were lonely and sad, and Abbott, with nothing else to do, decided that a cheerful board game could be the perfect entertainment. So she supposedly grabbed a piece of thick paper and started drawing up plans.‎ The end result was perfect for young children. No counting. No reading. Players simply needed to know colors and follow instructions on the cards to travel around the board, stopping at various delicious－sounding locations along the way. Abbott shared it with the children in the polio ward, and they loved it. One year later, Milton Bradley bought the game, and it became a surprise hit：Candy Land.‎ While Milton Bradley kept that origin story a secret for decades, the game’s connection to the disease didn’t stop there. It’s possible that polio helped make Candy Land famous. In the early 1950s, a polio epidemic (传染病) swept the country. The best way to stay healthy was to avoid people. Public swimming pools and playgrounds were closed. Moviegoers were encouraged to sit far from each other at the theater. Parents wouldn’t even let their kids outside to play. Healthy or sick, everybody needed entertainment to help pass the time. That, coupled with the fact that postwar Americans had more money and leisure time than ever, was the ideal ‎ condition for making a child’s board game popular. Plus, it was about candy!‎ Today, polio has practically been removed from the globe. Candy Land has sold more than 40 million copies and was introduced into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2005.But Abbott kept a low profile (低姿态) for the rest of her life. According to Nicolas Ricketts of The Strong—a museum in Rochester, New York, devoted to the history and exploration of play—when Abbott received her first royalty check, she gave much of the money right back to the children she met in the ward. How sweet!‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章讲述了糖果乐园游戏的历史。‎ ‎21. Abbott used the board game in the hospital to________.‎ A. teach kids about colors B. cheer young patients up C. show her teaching skills D. try out her new invention 答案B[推理判断题。由第一段中的The kids were lonely and sad, and Abbott...the perfect entertainment可推断，Abbott试图用这种游戏使患小儿麻痹症的孩子们高兴起来。]‎ ‎22. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. The symptoms of polio. ‎ B. The origin of Candy Land.‎ C. Candy Land helped to cure polio. ‎ D. Candy Land became popular due to polio.‎ 答案D[段落大意题。第三段中的It’s possible that polio helped make Candy Land famous是主题句。小儿麻痹症在全国范围内传染期间，人们为避免被传染尽量不和别人接触。该疾病的影响加上其它的因素，共同为糖果乐园游戏的流行创造了极佳的条件。]‎ ‎23. We can infer that Candy Land became famous________.‎ A.in 1948 B.in the early 1950s C.in 2005 D.in recent years 答案B[细节理解题。由第三段可知，受二十世纪五十年代早期小儿麻痹症的影响，糖果乐园游戏流行起来。]‎ ‎24. Which word can best describe Abbott?‎ A. Careful. B. Confident.‎ C. Kind－hearted D. Strong－minded.‎ 答案C[推理判断题。由第一段可知，Abbott看到生病的孩子们孤独而伤心便想办法让他们高兴起来；再由最后一段可知，Abbott将自己得到的第一笔版税中的很多钱送给了当初在病房见到的孩子们。据此可推断，她是一个善良的人。]‎ ‎[四]‎ ‎[五]‎ ‎[六]‎ ‎[七]‎ Julianne Moore talks about why people are so touched by her film Still Alice.“It’s not just because it’s a disease movie，” she says of the story of Dr.Alice Howland, a 50－year－old university professor and a mother of three who is struck with Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默氏病).“It’s a movie about mortality (生命的有限) and being，” she says.“It makes us really think about our lives.You’re never closer to loving life than when you’re closest to loss.”‎ And Moore is loving her life right now.The actress, 54, lives in New York City with her husband, who she’s been with for 19 years and married to for 10.They have two kids, a son, Caleb, 17, and a daughter, Liv, 12.And home really is where her heart is.“There’s nowhere else I want to be.I see a great amount of purpose there and have a real feeling of belonging，” she says.‎ Not only is she a mom with a family, she’s also a five－time Oscar nominee (被提名人).“The most difficult thing for me as an actor is dealing with accuracy, with specificity.When you haven’t actually experienced something, you have a responsibility to be as true as possible，” Moore says.That’s why the first thing she told directors when she took the part of Alice was, “I don’t want to represent anything on screen that I don’t have experience of.I don’t think it’s fair.” She did four months of research for Still Alice, talking to real women with Alzheimer’s, doctors working with patients, and visiting a long－term care home.And ‎ the results have left viewers moved to tears.So far she’s already won a Golden Globe and a Critic’s Choice award.She may finally win an Academy Award, too.And yes, she wants to win.“That’s the nomination from your peers (同龄人)，” she says.“It’s a very, very big deal.”‎ She hopes Still Alice affects viewers the same way it did her.“It’s uplifting，” she says.“It’s about what you love, who you value and how much you love being alive.”‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国女演员朱丽安·摩尔以及她主演的电影《依然爱丽丝》。‎ ‎21.

We can infer from Paragraph 3 that________.‎ A. Moore shows great devotion to her career B. the filming of Still Alice lasted four months C. Moore refused to play the part of Alice at first D. the film Still Alice was badly received by critics 答案A[推理判断题。由第三段中Julianne Moore说的话When you haven’t actually...as true as possible以及她为了出演Still Alice进行了为期四个月的调查研究可以推断，她很敬业。]‎ ‎24.

Obviously, my cats had left droppings (粪便) in his perfect flower beds.‎ Fortunately, my husband and I weren’t at home when this happened, so he vented (发泄) his anger on my friend and neighbor, Katherine. She was kind enough to listen to him and to go down into the garden with him to have a look. She even took a picture!‎ When I got home, she had left a message on my answering machine about the incident. Having heard it was about my cats again, my stomach turned. Last year, he got so upset that he threatened (威胁) to put rat traps on the roof, hoping that would warn me to keep my cats indoors. So I was a little worried.‎ However, I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard Katherine tell me what the whole incident was all about. I understand gardening is important to my neighbor and that he keeps his garden perfect to comfort his soul.‎ So when I saw him in the garden days later, I went over to talk to him.‎ And the talk turned out to be quite nice.I was really surprised to find that I had the wisdom not to respond to his comments on my cats.‎ Instead, I had conversations with him about the beautiful flowers he had planted, the color combinations, and the care he took in creating such a sense of order.I tried to convey my understanding and appreciation without arguing or talking down to him.‎ I was really amazed how that talk turned out.We haven’t had a conversation like that for over a year!‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文讲述的是发生在邻里之间的小插曲。作者巧妙而智慧地通过一次愉快的谈话把她和那位邻居间的不愉快转变为友好。‎ ‎21.

I got lost, so I had to call him. Stéphane’s officemate André overheard the conversation and said, “How could she get lost? You just go straight.”‎ I admit I have a horrible sense of direction, can’t read a map and am not such a hot driver. But my husband claims that you don’t really need a road map or to write down directions to get anywhere in France. You just need to know your destination and look at the signs in the traffic circles. And if you don’t see your sign the first time around, you can keep turning around and around until you spot your exit sign.‎ I suppose.‎ But as soon as I get into a roundabout I get into a panic and rather than circling to survey my options with a cool head, I exit somewhere, anywhere, just to keep from going round and round.‎ Six years into our French living experiment, I now have adopted an ideal solution：a GPS (Global Positioning System) program on my smartphone. I rely on it to get just about anywhere, even places I’ve been to before. This past winter we went to the Alps (阿尔卑斯山) for a skiing vacation and a friend asked me where we went. How could I know? Wasn’t “the Alps” precise (精准的) enough? As far as I could figure, we just turned on the GPS program, searched the address and drove. Was it the north Alps or south? Who knew? Is GPS equipment just making us all stupider or is it acting as a useful aid to people who might not be brave enough to go outside of their gates without it? In my case, it’s probably both.‎ Maybe one day I’ll grow new brain cells where my sense of direction should be. And maybe one day I’ll figure out the French roads. But in the meantime，you’ll find me in a roundabout, trying to figure out where to exit.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者方向感极差，经常迷路，后来作者借助全球定位系统出行，但是一次去阿尔卑斯山的经历又让作者产生了这个系统到底有害还是有益的疑问。‎ ‎21. What was André’s reaction when he knew the author got lost?‎ A. He phoned Stéphane. B. He felt very surprised.‎ C. He showed her the way. D. He kept waiting for her.‎ 答案B[推理判断题。根据第一段中André说的话：How could she get lost？You just go straight可以推测，André对于作者迷路感到很惊讶，他认为只要直着走就不会迷路。]‎ ‎22. What was Stéphane’s advice for the author?‎ A. To read maps. B. To find signs.‎ C. To buy a GPS. D. To learn to drive.‎ 答案B[细节理解题。根据第二段中的You just need to know your destination and look at the signs in the traffic circles...until you spot your exit sign可知，作者的丈夫建议她记住目的地，然后寻找路标。]‎ ‎23. When the author entered a roundabout, she would probably________.‎ A. circle around B. stop being nervous C. take the nearest exit D. identify the direction 答案C[细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知，作者一进入交叉路口就惊慌失措、不能冷静思考，只要看到出口就马上出去。]‎ ‎24. The skiing vacation experience made the author wonder________.‎ A. how to describe a place precisely B. whether the GPS could be trusted C. about the influence of the GPS on people D. about the importance of the sense of direction 答案C[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Is GPS equipment just making us all stupider or is it acting as a useful aid to people who might not be brave enough to go outside of their gates without it？可知，这次经历让作者对全球定位系统对人们的影响产生了疑问：它到底让人们变得更笨还是能帮助人们？]‎
