‎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 ‎[一]‎ I enter my family home one last time.It is the first and only house my family owned in Canada and it is about to be sold.I stand in the quiet living room.Everything is kept in its original state, until next week when the contents will be moved to make way for the new owners.‎ In the advertisement selling the house, the house agent described it as “a doll’s house”．A perfect description.As I wander through the little rooms, it still amazes me that the six of us coexisted here as well as we did.‎ I walk across to my parents’ bedroom: It is this room that will be the hardest to leave.It is where my mother and father played out their daily ritual (习惯) as she neared the end.While she slept my father sat at the foot of the bed, pretending to read, watchful of her every move.No matter how stealthily (偷偷地) he attempted to leave she would feel it.‎ ‎“Where are you going, James？” she would ask in her soft Scottish tones (语调)．‎ ‎“I’ll be back, Cathy，” he promised.‎ ‎“As long as I know you’re there，” she would say.‎ My father died suddenly one year after losing my mom.A week before it happened，he said，“Sing no sad songs for me, girl.I lived the life I wanted.” I think of those words now as his last and most precious gift to me.‎ It is time to go. I do another quick check through the rooms and lock the door.As I drive down the street, out of habit I glance in my rearview mirror and can almost see my mother, standing at the bottom of the driveway seeing me off.‎ ‎“Love you, baby，” she would call after me in her sweet Scots accent, ‎ waving her arm until I was out of her sight.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者最后一次回到一家人曾一起生活过的小屋，重温他们在那里度过的美好时光。‎ ‎5．Why was the author’s house called “a doll’s house”？‎ A．It was small in size.‎ B．It was filled with dolls.‎ C．It was designed by girls.‎ D．It was beautifully decorated.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，作者走进他们一家人曾住过的小房子里，感叹他们六个人怎么能挤在这么小的房子里还过得那么开心。此处的little是提示词。a doll’s house用比喻的手法形容作者家的房子小得像是给玩偶住的。‎ ‎6．What did the ritual of the author’s parents show?‎ A．They were wellbehaved.‎ B．They distrusted each other.‎ C．They lacked communication.‎ D．They held deep affection for each other.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句及下文作者父母间的对话可知，他们的一举一动都流露出对彼此深深的爱。‎ ‎7．What was the final present the author received from her father?‎ A．A song for her.　　　 B．A sincere goodbye.‎ C．His appreciative words.

Living room, kitchen, office, dining room, all in one small fourwalled space.‎ There were a number of other potential options.We could move out into the suburbs (郊区), like most people do in our extraordinarily expensive city, and have a small yard, maybe even a basement.But there was something about this neat “tiny” home that aroused our interest, that challenged us.We like to live differently from the crowd, to avoid what everyone else is doing “just because” everyone else is.‎ ‎“Let’s try it for six months.If it makes us crazy, we’ll move.We can do anything for 6 months，” my husband said.It was challenging squeezing into the space at first, but then something caught us by surprise.We started having a ton of fun with our tiny space.‎ In the past, sometimes we had quite different ideas about which art or decorating style we found appealing.But here, in this tiny space, we found ourselves having a ton of fun exploring possible options.There’s no room for clutter (凌乱的东西), either.This is a gift!‎ It’s been 8 months, and we’re staying.Perhaps forever.When a space is this small, you don’t need to spend much in furnishing it, and you can’t keep endlessly buying things.There’s nowhere to put them!‎ This leaves us more financial resources and more time to go out into the much bigger world and enjoy life.For us, living in a “tiny” home ‎ has filled us with a feeling of abundance.It’s so much better than feeling weighed down, paying for a big space and more and more things.I highly recommend it.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者和丈夫选择在一个狭小的空间里生活，没想到这会是一段愉快而美好的经历。‎ ‎12．What can we learn from the words of the author’s husband?‎ A．He didn’t like to stay in the small space.‎ B．He made up his mind to stay in the small space.‎ C．He was uncertain about living in the small space.‎ D．He encouraged the author to live in the small space.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段作者的丈夫所说的话可知，作者的丈夫对在狭小的空间生活也没有把握。‎ ‎13．What do we know about the author’s experience from the text?‎ A．It was depressing but inspiring.‎ B．It was challenging but interesting.‎ C．It was disappointing but touching.‎ D．It was embarrassing but rewarding.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段的第三句可知，作者在狭小空间的生存经历富有挑战性，但却很有趣。‎ ‎14．What’s the main advantage of living in the small room to the author?‎ A．She could enjoy life more.‎ B．She could avoid the crowds.‎ C．She could save a lot of money.‎ D．She could clean the room easily.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知，作者发现在狭小空间生活可以腾出更多的金钱和时间去享受生活。　‎ ‎★15.What is the best title for the text?‎ A．A new trend of living B．The joy of living “tiny”‎ C．Save space, save money D．Make good use of space 解析：选B　标题归纳题。作者主要描述了自己和丈夫在狭小空间生活的有趣而美好的经历。　‎ ‎[三]‎ From his own version of Kim Kardashian's "Internet-breaking" picture to rocking the "Leia Buns"look,Mark Udovitch,28,hopes his celebrity impersonations (名人模仿) will help raise money for cancer patients.‎ Dressed in a garbage bag,black cleaning gloves and a plastic bag tie,the recreation (娱乐) of Kim Kardashion's picture is one of Mark's favorite celebrity impersonations.‎ Game of Throne characters are also a popular choice,and the radiation doctor has cosplayed (角色扮演) many famous figures.Mark says the reaction to the pictures has been positive,with a lot of laugh from his co-workers."I have gotten a very positive response from many other radiation doctors,who privately message me,saying how much respect they have for me,"he said.‎ But while the radiation doctor is having fun with his wild and strange creations,the cause behind it is sad.A patient once told him she was more devastated about losing her hair than surgery.It was at that moment that Mark decided to stop getting haircuts and start growing his hair.The radiation doctor will shave his hair off in a "Dry July Shave Off" and donate it to make false hair for cancer patients.‎ Mark recalled,"Over the course of 2.5 years,my mates have been absolutely belting me with comments about who I look like with my long hair.I took a photo of me impersonating Scott Stapp,the lead singer of Creed,as a joke last year and posted it on Facebook.It got 150+ likes,which is large for me since I am not very social media savvy(懂行的).Since that image got so much notice that I wonder how many celebrities I could ‎ actually impersonate in the lead.Shaving my head may be used as a means of raising awareness."‎ ‎8. What does the underlined word "devastated" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Curious. B. Upset.‎ C. Cautious. D. Alarmed.‎ ‎9. How did Mark's co-workers react to the photos?‎ A.

D ‎【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了放射医生马克（Mark）把自己扮演名人的照片放在互联网，希望他的模仿能帮助癌症患者筹集资金。‎ ‎8. 词意猜测题。这类题要求具备一定的构词法，且对上下文具有比较全面的理解。根据“...the cause behind it is sad.A patient once told him she was more devastated about losing her hair than surgery.”可知，病人认为失去头发对他的伤害比做手术更大，表明他很不安。A.好奇的；B.不安的；C.谨慎的D.惊恐的。故选B。‎ ‎9. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Mark says the reaction to the pictures has been positive,with a lot of laugh from his co-workers."I have gotten a very positive response from many other radiation doctors,who privately message me,saying how much respect they have for me,"he said.”可知，Mark 说他已经得到了许多其他辐射医生做出的非常积极的回应，同事们私下向他发消息说对他有多尊重，即他们对照片的评价很高。故选C。‎ ‎10. 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I took a photo of me impersonating Scott Stapp, the lead singer of Creed, as a joke last year and posted it on Facebook.”可知，Mark扮演克里斯特的主唱斯科特·斯帕普（Scott Stapp）是为了搞笑，即因为乐趣而做这件事。故选A。‎ ‎11. 主旨题。根据第一段“Mark Udovitch,28,hopes his celebrity impersonations (名人模仿) will help raise money for cancer patients.”可知，马克医生希望他的模仿能帮助癌症患者筹集资金，即为病人而模仿。故选D。‎ ‎【名师点睛】阅读理解旨在考查考生对于文章整体的理解与细节的把握与分析，要在了解整篇文章中心思想的基础上进行选择。主旨题说难也难，说易也易，关键在于对文章中心的把握。一般的文章中心很明确且在第一段开头（即开篇点题）或者通过引用事例在第一段段尾或第二段出现，有些文章在结尾回扣主题。这篇文章在第一段结尾表明主题：“Mark Udovitch,28,hopes his celebrity impersonations will help raise money for cancer patients.28岁的马克·乌多维奇希望他的名人模仿能帮助癌症患者筹集资金。”主题词：impersonations、for cancer patients，从下文可以看出Mark Udovitch是一名医生（Doctor）。故选C。‎ ‎[四]‎ Eight years before his death in 1896, Alfred Nobel was surprised to read an obituary (讣告) in the local newspaper.This was a strange obituary, for it told Alfred Nobel, the man who was reading it, that he was dead.The newspaper had confused Alfred with his brother, Ludvig, who had recently died.‎ Nobel was shocked to read that he had passed away, and he was even more annoyed by the title of his obituary：The merchant of death is dead.Alfred was a very rich and successful armaments manufacturer (武器制造商)．‎ This incident got him thinking about his reputation.What would people think of him after his real death? Would they really say “That was a man ‎ who profited from killing”？ It was this thought that led him to leave his money — a huge amount of it — for the founding of the famous Nobel prizes.His aim was for his money to be used to support the ongoing quest (追求) for excellence in the sciences and literature, and the ideal of peace.Thousands of men and women have been honored since the first awards were given out in 1901.The awards let the world know about the developments that may have a huge effect on our lives.‎ However, the prizes are controversial sometimes.There is often protest (抗议) at the award of the Peace Prize when not everyone thinks that the awardwinners deserve the award.Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers.The highly influential novelists James Joyce and Marcel Proust, for example, were never honored by the Swedish Academy.‎ Still, for the most part the awards don’t cause many complaints.Alfred Nobel founded the prizes to recognize those who have had “the greatest benefit to mankind” and few would disagree that most of the prizewinners — among them, Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King Jr. — have made contributions that deserve to be honored and remembered.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了诺贝尔奖设立的来历。‎ ‎13．How did Alfred Nobel feel when he read the obituary in the newspaper?‎ A．Sad and worried. B．Shocked and upset.‎ C．Surprised and confused. D．Amused and puzzled.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，当Alfred Nobel看到报纸上的这则讣告的时候，非常吃惊。根据第二段第一句可知，他不只是吃惊，而且还很生气，故选B。‎ ‎14．What did Alfred Nobel decide to do after reading the obituary?‎ A．Seek excellence in the sciences.‎ B．Donate all his money to the charity.‎ C．Stop producing any killing weapons.‎ D．Set up the Nobel prizes with his money.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It was this thought that led him to leave his money — a huge amount of it — for the founding of the famous Nobel prizes.”可知，阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔看到这则讣告之后，想了很多，最终决定把他大笔的钱用于设立著名的诺贝尔奖，故选D。‎ ‎15．Why does the author mention James Joyce and Marcel Proust?‎ A．To show the controversy of some Nobel prizes.‎ B．To give examples of influential Nobel prizewinners.‎ C．To explain the standard of giving out the Nobel prizes.‎ D．To prove the influence of the Nobel prizes on literature.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award committee often neglects important writers.”(即便是诺贝尔文学奖有时候也会受到批评，因为奖项委员会经常会忽视重要的作家。)可知，作者以这两个人为例，是为了说明有时诺贝尔奖是存在争议的。‎ ‎★16.What does the author think of the Nobel prizes?‎ A．There should be more female winners.‎ B．There are too many controversial winners.‎ C．They have honored many worthy winners.‎ D．The committee should be more selective.‎ 解析：选C　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“few would disagree that most of the prizewinners ...deserve to be honored and remembered”可知，作者认为诺贝尔奖奖励了很多值得赞赏的人，故选C。 ‎ ‎[五]‎ Boom said at the Paris Air Show Tuesday that passengers could fly between London and New York aboard a supersonic (超音速的) commercial airplane in about 2.5 hours within the next six years.The company also aims to shuttle passengers from San Francisco to Tokyo in 5.5 hours, vs. the current 11-hour travel time.Flights from Los Angeles to Sydney would ‎ take just under 7 hours, compared with the current 15 hours.‎ ‎“Airlines are eager to find something new and different to offer their passengers — and we’re thrilled that major world airlines share our idea of a future of faster, more accessible supersonic travel，” Blake Scholl, Boom’s founder, said at the show.Five airlines have already placed more than 70 orders for Boom’s faster-than-sound passenger airliners, the company announced.‎ Some experts, however, are skeptical that Boom can make its idea a reality and offer a product that makes financial sense.The European aircraft Concorde, which ended its transatlantic supersonic flight in 2003, was never commercially workable, and with an airfare of $20,000, appealed to only a very narrow slice of travelers, said Robert Mann, an airline industry expert.Fuel economy, unproven technology, and regulations against supersonic commercial flight are key difficulties Boom faces, Mann said.‎ There are also some travel limitations.The United States and many other countries do not allow supersonic commercial flights over land, because of the loud shock wave that can be annoying to communities below.But a Boom spokesman said that its passenger airliner is being designed to minimize the noise it makes and that Boom will work to change those regulations.‎ The company said that it will succeed where Concorde failed because Boom is using better engines and improved materials to help reduce the costs of operating its aircraft.And a businessclass ticket from New York to London could cost $5,000, Boom estimates (估计), far less than the $20,000 charged by Concorde.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。从纽约到伦敦仅需2.5小时，这可能吗？美国一家航空航天公司Boom在巴黎航空展上宣布他们的超音速飞机有望在六年内将此变为现实。‎ ‎5．In which aspect will Boom’s new airplane stand out?‎ A．Its safety. B．Its speed.‎ C．Its flight paths. D．Its degree of comfort.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。第一段采用举例子、列数字和对比的写作手法，通过对三条航线目前和将来可能的飞行时间进行对比，主要说明超音速飞机可以大大缩短旅行时间，即它在速度上的优势，故选B项。‎ ‎6．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?‎ A．The aim of Boom.‎ B．The partners of Boom.‎ C．The public reaction to supersonic flight.‎ D．The potential market for supersonic flight.‎ 解析：选D　段落大意题。第二段中Boom的创始人称一些航空公司对航空创新和高速商业飞行的发展充满热情，并提到有五家航空公司已向他们订购了七十余架飞机，由此可以看出第二段主要介绍超音速飞机的市场潜力，故选D项。‎ ‎7．What was the main reason for Concorde’s failure?‎ A．It was poorly designed. B．It created terrible noise.‎ C．It was very expensive. D．It burnt too much fuel.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“with an airfare of $20,000, appealed to only a very narrow slice of travelers”和最后一段中的“where Concorde failed ...to help reduce the costs”以及最后一句中价格的对比可知，Concorde失败的主要原因是其价格太高，只能吸引极少的乘客，故选C项。‎ ‎★8.What is Mann’s attitude toward supersonic commercial flight?‎ A．Favorable. B．Disappointed.‎ C．Doubtful. D．Ambiguous.‎ 解析：选C　观点态度题。第三段中Mann举了以失败而告终的Concorde的例子，又列举了一些超音速飞机面临的问题，由此可推断，他对超音速飞行持怀疑态度，故选C项。‎ ‎[六]‎ My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to ‎ situations, is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.‎ This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能) .‎ On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.‎ And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared(快速上升). My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.‎ I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.‎ All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.‎ Shine on, sweet baby.‎ ‎4. Kelly is nervous when ________.‎ A. boys are around her B. she changes into a leader C. she is away from her mom D. situations are new to her ‎5. We can know from Paragraph 3 ______.‎ A. the race began in the early morning B. the whole family gave Kelly support C. Kelly was eager for her turn in the race D. Kelly prepared for her brother’s birthday party ‎6. Seeing Kelly’s performance in the race, the author felt ______.‎ A. excited and proud B. anxious and uneasy C. worried and hesitant D. curious and concerned ‎7. In the ending paragraphs the author “felt like I won that day” because Kelly ______.‎ A. overcame the fear B. expressed love to her C. won the gold medal D. took part in the sport ‎【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A ‎【解析】本文讲述了作者女儿Kelly一开始面对新环境羞怯紧张，通过各种锻炼最终克服了恐惧心理。‎ ‎4. 细节理解题。根据第一段She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant(犹豫的) to try new things.以及 But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.可知，Kelly面对新环境新事物会紧张，需要 “热身”。此处that comfort zone指的是上一句中When with close friends，因此，when that comfort zone is not around her 指的是当面对新朋友新环境时。‎ ‎6. 细节理解题。根据第四段My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen.以及第五段I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life.可知，作者认为女儿已经成为最自信的人，并为女儿感到骄傲。故选A。‎ ‎7. 细节理解题。根据最后一段I won the chance to see my girl shine.可知，作者感到就像自己赢了是因为作者赢得了看到女儿闪耀瞬间的机会，而根据倒数第二段 It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn't seen before.可知，女儿之所以闪耀是因为用自信战胜了恐惧。综合来看，作者感觉自己赢了，其实是因为女儿最终克服了恐惧心理。‎ ‎[七]‎ Back in January, I was watching a college football game and came to a realization: As a high school senior, pretty soon, I’ll be the same age as some of the top athletes in the world.‎ This realization was both confusing and comforting. Until this point, I’d always thought of top athletes in another generation. I had no real connection to people in the news or playing sports on TV because they were so much older. But pretty soon, people of my age will be the ones dominating (支配) the news.‎ The comfort came in understanding that as I prepare to graduate from Sanford H. Calhoun High School in Merrick, I’m not that far off from entering the real world, and I will have a chance to make a name for myself.‎ Right now, I’m at the end of one of life stages, with many more to come. As seniors, many in my class developed superiority complexes. We’d see babyfaced ninthgraders and think, “Ugh, those annoying freshmen.” Or we’d hear juniors complain about starting the college application process and say to each other, “Those juniors have no idea what they’re talking about.” Of course, last year’s seniors said the ‎ same thing about last year’s juniors, repeating a timeless cycle.‎ Psychologist and author Thomas Armstrong writes that life is made up of 12 stages. He stresses that no stage is more important than another, and each has its own unique gifts. There is no highest point in life, no impressive ending when you are above everybody else. At the same time, there is no lowest point in life; at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isn’t below everyone else, our elders aren’t above everyone else.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在观看足球比赛时意识到自己将和一些优秀的运动员同岁，并由此引发了其对高中生活和人生的感悟。‎ ‎24．What can we know about the author?‎ A．He’ll finish his high school studies about one year later.‎ B．Reflecting on the past is a part of his daily routine.‎ C．Football is a particular favorite with him.‎ D．He dreams of being an excellent athlete.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As a high school senior”可知，作者是一名高中毕业班的学生，因此会在大约一年后完成自己的高中学业。故选A。‎ ‎25．Why did the author find his realization comforting?‎ A．The top athletes are the same age as him.‎ B．There is a possibility that he can be famous.‎ C．He will be admitted to his dream university.‎ D．He’s made full preparations for entering society.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容，尤其是“I will have a chance to make a name for myself”可知，作者觉得自己的感悟中令人欣慰的部分是他很快就会步入真正的世界，也将有机会让自己出名。make a name“出名，成名”。故选B。‎ ‎26．What does the underlined phrase “superiority complexes” in Paragraph 4 mean?‎ A．A habit of making complaints.‎ B．A habit of following in others’ footsteps.‎ C．A feeling that you are better than others.‎ D．A feeling that others are unapproachable.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“We’d see babyfaced ninthgraders and think ... repeating a timeless cycle.”可知，该段主要讲的是作为毕业班的学生，作者的很多同学会在新生面前自以为是，或者嘲笑那些抱怨大学申请过程(复杂)的低年级学生，即高年级学生会在低年级学生面前产生一种优越感，故画线词的意思应为“优越感”。故选C。‎ ‎27．What message is conveyed in the last paragraph?‎ A．Life is meant to be lived and enjoyed.‎ B．Life is never smooth, full of ups and downs.‎ C．One should try to reach his greatest potential.‎ D．Everyone has their own value and position in life.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“at no point is a human worthless and below others. Just as an infant isn’t below everyone else, our elders aren’t above everyone else”可知，在任何时候人都是有价值的，不低于他人，亦不高于他人，即每个人在生活中都有自己的价值和位置。故选D。‎ ‎[八]‎ When I was a boy there were no smartphones, and our television only got one channel clearly.Still, I was never bored.The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before.It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.‎ I walked on and on for hours.I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home”， but I was stubborn, so I walked on.There was still neither a car nor a house in sight.I noticed ‎ that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared.I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.‎ I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me.My heart was pounding and my legs were aching.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.It was a house that I recognized.I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time.I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.‎ I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”．It is true.In life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again.What is important, though, is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了自己童年时期的快乐时光，并通过童年时经历的一件事告诉我们：人生中最重要的是对待生活的态度。‎ ‎24．Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?‎ A．Because he could have fun in nature.‎ B．Because he could watch TV all day.‎ C．Because he had many friends.‎ D．Because he used to explore the old dirt road.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.”可知，在童年时期，作者可以到大自然中尽情地玩耍，所以不会觉得无聊。‎ ‎25．How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?‎ A．He thought he would be scolded by his parents.‎ B．He felt contradictory in mind.‎ C．He thought he would be trapped in the woods.‎ D．He was unconscious.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，在探险之初，作者虽想放弃，但还是选择了继续走下去；根据下文可知，作者虽然担心害怕，但仍然继续前行。由此可推知，在探险过程中他的内心是矛盾的。‎ ‎26．What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Doubt.　　　　　　　 B．Hope.‎ C．Courage. D．Fear.‎ 解析：选D　代词指代题。根据第二段中的“I grew scared”及第三段中的“My heart was pounding and my legs were aching.”可推知，由于天越来越黑，作者一直未能找到回家的路，他的内心越来越恐惧。由此可推知，something在此指“恐惧”。故选D。‎ ‎27．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?‎ A．Always make choices on our own.‎ B．All roads lead home.‎ C．It’s our attitude that matters in our life.‎ D．Every effort is worthwhile.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“What is important, though, is how we travel ...a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey？”可知，作者想要告诉我们的是生活中态度才是重要的。‎ ‎[九]‎ Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot(行李箱). ‎ Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch(沟渠) at Romney Marsin, Kent after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.” ‎ Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. ‎ Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.” ‎ It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in.
