2018 届二轮复习阅读理解真题分类训练 20 篇记叙文 一 (2014 · 陕西，B) 主题：欧·亨利的手稿 词数：317 When I told my father that I was moving to Des Moines，Iowa，he told me about the only time he had been there.It was in the 1930s，when he was an editor of the literary magazine of Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas，Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU，and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn't afford the operation because her family was poor. Her mother ran a boardinghouse in Galveston，a seaside town near Houston， Texas. She was cleaning out the attic (阁楼) one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript (手稿)．On its top page were the words，“By O．Henry.” It was a nice story，and she sent it to her daughter at SMU，who showed it to my father. My father had never read the story before，but it sounded like O．Henry，and he knew that O．Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Galveston boardinghouse，and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an O．Henry expert at Columbia University in New York ， who authenticated the story as O．Henry's. My father then set out to sell it.Eventually，he found himself in Des Moines， meeting with Gardner Cowles，a top editor at the Des Moines Register. Cowles loved the story and bought it on the spot.My father took the money to the girl. It was just enough for her to have the operation she so desperately needed. My father never told me what the O．Henry story was about. But I doubt that it could have been better than his own story. 1．Who found the O．Henry's manuscript? A．The girl's mother. B．The author's father. C．The girl. D．The author. 2．Which of the following might explain the fact that the manuscript was found in the attic? A．O.Henry once worked in Houston. B．O.Henry once stayed in Galveston. C．O.Henry once moved to Des Moines. D．O.Henry once taught at SMU. 3． The underlined word “ authenticated ” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________． A．named B．treated C．proved D．described 4．According to the text，why did the author's father go to Des Moines? A．To sell the O．Henry story. B．To meet the author himself. C．To talk with the O．Henry expert. D．To give money to the girl. 二 (2014 · 辽宁，D) 主题：意志力的作用 词数：317 Travis is the manager of G&G where he is responsible for forty employees (雇员) and profits (利润) of over $2 million per year. He's never late to work. He does not get upset on the job. When one of his employees started crying after a customer screamed at her，Travis took her away.“Your working uniform is your shelter，”he told her.“Nothing anyone says will ever hurt you. You will always be as strong as you want to be.” Travis picked up that lecture in one of his G&G training courses，an education program that began on his first day and continues throughout an employee's occupation. The training has，Travis says，changed his life.G & G has taught him how to live，how to focus，how to get to work on time，and how to master his emotions (情 绪)．Most importantly，it taught him willpower. At the center of that education is an extreme focus on an allimportant habit： willpower. Dozens of cases show that willpower is the single most important habit for a person's success. And the best way to strengthen willpower is to make it into a habit.“Sometimes it looks like people with great selfcontrol aren't working hard—but that's because they've made it automatic，”Angela Duckworth，one of the University of Pennsylvania researchers said.“Their willpower occurs without them having to think about it.” The company spent millions of dollars developing programs of study to train employees on selfcontrol. Managers wrote workbooks that serve as guides to how to make willpower a habit in workers' lives.Those courses are，in part，why G&G has grown from a sleepy company into a large one with more than seventeen thousand stores and profits of more than $10 billion a year. 1．We learn from Paragraph 2 that employees in G&G must ________． A．learn to give lectures B．attend education programs C．design a working uniform D．develop a common hobby 2．Willpower will become a habit when employees can ________. A．focus on the profits B．benefit from the job C．protect themselves well D．control their feelings well 3．What can we infer from the passage? A．G&G has grown into a large company. B．G&G will spend half its profits training employees. C．G&G may become more successful in the future. D．G&G has to produce more workbooks for managers. 三 (2014 · 湖北，A) 主题：捣蛋的男孩 词数：397 Before I had my son，I spent two years working with children with disabilities.I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme.I found something that worked，though. There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him.One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around ， hitting and kicking ， and destroying property. I was in the craft room working with some other children when my coworker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears，and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking，the boy ran in. I told my coworker that I would take care of him. I closed the door. He was full of energy，throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection，and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it.We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation： “So what happened today？” It was purely a question，no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him，the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session，he talk about what he hoped to do at the start，which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize. 1．The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ________.

However，he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago，he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him. Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly，his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare， but Samuel doesn't even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents，but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now，he studies law and music. Samuel can't understand why everyone is so surprised.“I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago，I suddenly decided to start playing the piano，without being able to read music and without having any lessons.

The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists can't play it. Samuel says confidently，“It's all about super memory—I guess I have that gift.” However ， Samuel's ability to remember things doesn't stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy，Samuel heard someone read a story， and then he could retell the story word for word. Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn't know what he wants to do in the future. For now，he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies. 1．What is special about Samuel Osmond? A．He has a gift for writing music.

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收 费站)．“I'm paying for myself，and for the six cars behind me，” she said with a smile，handing over seven tickets. One after another，the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed，“Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.” It turned out that the woman，Natalie Smith，had read something on a friend's refrigerator ： “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days，she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down.“I thought it was beautiful，” she said，explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters，“like a message from above.” Her husband，Frank， liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students，one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson，a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper，admitting that though she liked it，she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later，Alice got a call from Anne Herbert，a woman living in Marin.It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper，after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here's the idea，”Anne says.“Anything you think there should be more of， do it randomly.”Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools， leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town ， and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says ， “Kindness__can__build__on__itself__as__much__as_ _violence__can.” The acts of random kindness spread.If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid，who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later.Like all great events，kindness begins slowly，with every single act.Let it be yours! 1．Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?

My degree，with honors，in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow，but I had no idea how to do that.That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers.I knew it would be a lot of hard work，and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time.In short，I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually，however，I won the support of my family，and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application.After countless interviews and presentations ， I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later，I finally received a call asking me to report for duty.I would be going to a small village near Abuja，Nigeria. Where？What？Nigeria？I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training ， I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor， they offered their homes，hearts，and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so，I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period，I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did，though I did not get anywhere with the local language，and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 1．What do we know about the author? A．His university education focused on theoretical knowledge.

He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers，including his passport.

But it was also scorching in our apartment. This was 1962，and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years. So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors. He suggested we could see a movie. It was a brilliant plan. Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and — most important—sit in air conditioning. In those days，you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies. Then，the theater would show the same two movies again. If you wanted to，you could sit through them twice. Most people did not do that，but the manager at our theater，Mr Bellow，did not mind if you did. That particular day，my brother and I sat through both movies twice，trying to escape the heat.We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each. Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. We'd already seen the second movie once before. It had been at the theater since January， because Mr Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it. We left the theater around 8 ， just before the evening shows began. But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again，twice more.And we did it the next day too. Finally，on the fourth day，the heat wave broke. Still，to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance！ Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962. They're really memories of the screen，not memories of my life. 1．In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner? A．1952. B．1962. C．1972. D．1982. 2．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A．The heat. B．The theater. C．The Music Man. D．The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. 3．What do we know about Mr Bellow?

She became known as “Mumbet” or “Mum Bett”． For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day，Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious，she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return，Mumbet consulted a lawyer，Thcodore Sedgewick.

Strangely enough，after the trial，the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Sedgewick. Mumbet died in 1829，but her legacy lived on in her many descendants (后裔)．One of her greatgrandchildren was W．E.B.Du Bois，one of the founders of the NAACP，and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.

Each of her objects had its place，but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled (贴标 签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time，Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over，and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.We both got tired of each other. War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon ， I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away！Why under my bed！” Deafened，I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder. The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation，I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up，she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers，sobbing.Obviously，that was something she should not go through alone.All of a sudden，a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly，I collected the pencils，took back the books，made my bed，cleaned the socks and swept the floor，even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching，her tears dried and her expression was such disbelief. Then，she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes.

The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire—crackling，snapping，trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again — the tell tale call of a spotted deer. I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches ， beneath which the patchwork ( 交 错 ) of green plants and shadowswithinshadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach，the forest was silent. Gradually，the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck；there was a soft part，free of wrinkles and hairs，behind her ear. This was my fourth time to__sense__the__aura of the forest in Corbett，although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains，Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers ， but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts (出没处)，a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still，I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger，I could have gone to a zoo. After all，spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty；tracking them can make you aware of something more. 1．Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm? A．The elephant stopped. B．A spotted deer called. C．The elephant seized a branch. D．The forest was silent for a while. 2．The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by________.

A．Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling. B．It is very timeconsuming to travel in Corbett. C．It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett. D．The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing. 十三 (2014 · 四川，B) 主题：童年的回忆 词数：332 In 1943，when I was 4，my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene，Idaho，to Fairbanks，Alaska，where adventure was never very far away. We arrived in the summer ， just in time to enjoy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden. Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off，so she didn't care much about my bedtime. Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk. That left me in a mess. I usually managed to find some trouble to get into. Once I had a little fire going in the dirt basement of a hotel. I had tried to light a barrel (桶) of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going. The smoke got pretty bad，though，and when I made my exit， a crowd and the police were there to greet me. The policemen took my matches and drove me home. Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me， and they did！I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me.I hadn't turned 5 yet. As I entered kindergarten，the serious cold began to set in. Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school? As for Leonhard Seppala，famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者)，I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday. At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was，but I do remember the ride well. I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.

Izzy，nine，restarted father Colm's heart by stamping (踩) on his chest after he fell down at home and stopped breathing. Izzy's mother，Debbie，immediately called 999 but Izzy knew doctors would never arrive in time to save her father，so decided to use CPR. However ， she quickly discovered her arms weren't strong enough ， so she stamped on her father's chest instead. Debbie then took over with some more conventional chest compressions( 按 压)until the ambulance arrived. Izzy，who has been given a bravery award by her school，said：“I just kicked him really hard. My mum taught me CPR but I knew I wasn't strong enough to use hands. I was quite scared. The doctor said I might as well be a doctor or a nurse. My mum said that Dad was going to hospital with a big footprint on his chest.” “She's a little star，” said Debbie.“I was really upset but Izzy just took over. I just can't believe what she did. I really think all children should be taught first aid. Izzy did CPR then the doctor turned up.

Why don't you fly out and meet me？” My father had just retired after 27 years as a manager for IBM.His job filled his day，his thoughts，his life. While he woke up and took a warm shower，I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru. While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch，I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks. My father sees me drifting aimlessly，nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps. He wants me to settle down，but now I want him to find an adventure. He agrees to travel with me through the national parks. We meet four weeks later in Rapid City. “What's our first stop？”asks my father. “What time is it？” “Still don't have a watch？” Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore. As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite (花岗岩)，his mouth and eyes open slowly，like those of a little boy. “Unbelievable，”he says，“How was this done？” A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14 years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son. We stare up and I ask myself，Would I ever devote my life to anything? No directions ， no goals. I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own. The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park，where we have a picnic. “Did you ever travel with your dad？”I ask. “Only once，”he says，“I never spoke much with my father. We loved each other—but never said it.Whatever he could give me，he gave.” That__last__sentence — it's__probably__the__same__thing__I'd__say_ _about__my__father.And__what__I'd__want__my__child__to__say__about__me. In Glacier National Park，my father says，“I've never seen water so blue.” I have， in several places of the world.I can keep traveling，I realize—and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared. Weeks after our trip，I call my father. “The photos from the trip are wonderful，”he says.“We've got to take another trip like that sometime.” I tell him I've decided to settle down，and I'm wearing a watch. 1．We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that the father ________.

The bear was thin and small，moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later，I heard my daughter shouting，“Dad！The bear is right behind us！” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally，probably because of hunger. I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders，and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long. Even so，this was a fight I had to win：I was all that stood between the bear and my family，who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear. The bear hit at the camera，cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face；the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move，and I sensed that my bones were going to break. Drawing back my free hand，I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur，trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then，as suddenly as it had begun， the fight ended. The bear moved back towards the forest，before returning for another attack—the first time I felt panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat ， the bear moved off ， destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured，but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I'm proud that my family remained clearheaded when panic could have led to a very different outcome. 1．The brown bear approached the family in order to ________. A．catch shore birds B．start an attack C．protect the children D．set up a barrier for itself 2．The bear finally went away after it ________. A．felt safe B．got injured C．found some food D．took away the camera 3．The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ________. A．pride B．patience C．calmness D．cautiousness 十七(2013·辽宁，B) 主题：环保行动 词数：289 Going green seems to be a fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days.Whether that is good or bad，we can't really say，but for the two of us，going green is not a fad but a lifestyle. On April 22，2011，we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things，and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy，we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task. With the idea of going green every single day for a year，Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps. Over the course of Our Green Year，we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic (有机的) stores.We consume less meat，choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need.We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice，with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter，enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished. Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet. 1．What might be the best title for the passage?

On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials (姓名首字母) carved into it.I was in heaven. What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being “replaced”．We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we'd lost. But not my ring.My ring was new. Then，only one month later，I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.

Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents' when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn't my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift giving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You'll recognize this one，” she said，smiling.

We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say. Sophia told us that MakeAWish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980.“It's a charity (慈善机构) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses.MakeAWish helps children feel happy even though they are sick， by making their wishes and dreams come true，” Sophia explained. We asked Sophia how MakeAWish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true—so，with everybody's help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a “policeman” for a day.“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too， and that was the beginning of MakeAWish，” explained Sophia. Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special ， happy time. A Make A Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world.

I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events，feelings，and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words，but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all，isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past? When I was thirteen years old，I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley， wellequipped with pens，a diary，and a camera.During the trip，I was busy recording every incident，name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively，dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there，I wandered out of my tent，diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon，and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen.... At that point，I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary. Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books ， or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures，but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future. I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I'll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories—I just live，and the memories form themselves. 1．Before the age of thirteen，the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________． A．observing her school routine B．expressing her satisfaction C．impressing her classmates D．preserving her history 2．What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary? A．A dull night on the journey. B．The beauty of the great valley. C．A striking quotation from a book. D．Her concerns for future generations. 3．What does the author put in her diary now?

D．Descriptions of unforgettable events. 4．The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________． A．to experience it B．to live the present in the future C．to make memories D．to give accurate representations of it 答案及解析 1.【语篇导读】 一位身患重病的女孩的母亲经营寄宿公寓时偶然得到一本 欧·亨利遗失的小说手稿，经专家鉴定后确定出自欧·亨利之手。后来作者的父亲 将这份手稿出售去帮助女孩支付医药费。 1．A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句可知，这份手稿是那位女孩的 母亲发现的。 2．B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句“So it
