‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类10篇专题训练之十五 ‎[一]‎ I began cycling in 2004 when I was a poor student. It was dangerous, sure, but cycling is the fastest, cheapest point-to-point form of transport in Melbourne. I own a car now, but that’s just for transporting the baby or groceries.‎ I hate driving. So it’s been quite encouraging watching the growth in cyclist numbers over the past decade. It is said that over 10,000 cyclists enter the CBD (Central Business District) each day, taking pressure off public transport. But as more people take to cycling as a way of transport, the number of cyclists seriously injured or killed keeps increasing. And that is a sign that our infrastructure (基础设施) is still not good enough.‎ Melbourne was once a dream for cyclists--flat, long, wide roads, with plenty of paths along rivers. Now, cycling can be deadly, with roads taken up by cars. I have a friend who broke her back and was lucky to escape death and others with broken bones. In my time riding, I’ve been forced off the road by a truck, cut off by four-wheel drives, and told to get off the road. Drivers are a particularly rude to cyclists. And that’s a sign of exactly one thing: inadequate infrastructure.‎ We shouldn’t need to be taught how to coexist in the same narrow space. Drivers and cyclists should be kept apart. Designing bike paths so riders are channelled between moving cars and parked cars is deadly. All it takes is one daydreaming driver to fling open the door and you are gone. That’s what happened to the young university student James.‎ This year, there are to be new cycling lanes (车道) built on Glen Road, where James died in 2010. But these lanes are not safe. Cyclists must still pass between two rows of cars.‎ ‎32. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Some people hating driving.‎ B. More cyclists having accidents.‎ C. More people choosing to cycle.‎ D. Distracted driving happening a lot.‎ ‎33. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?‎ A. Many people are bad at cycling.‎ B. There are many cars in Melbourne.‎ C. It’s dangerous to cycle in Melbourne.‎ D. Melbourne was once very beautiful.‎ ‎34. Which was the major cause of James’ death according to the author?‎ A. Cross’ carelessness.‎ B. A driver’s mistake.‎ C. Unsafe bike paths.‎ D. An outdated legal system.‎ ‎35. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To stress the necessity of safe bike paths.‎ B. To encourage readers to cycle.‎ C. To criticize rude driving behavior.‎ D. To tell a personal story.‎ 参考答案：32-35 BCCA ‎[二]‎ Marathon fever is sweeping this country. In recent years, China's ever-growing passion for marathons has been triggered by its economic development and health-conscious middle class. A large number of marathon runners are white-collar workers, civil servants and business people that are keen on leading a healthy lifestyle. Government support, social participation and strong marketing by the sports industry have gradually led to the rapid development of the marathon industry, which is currently valued at 70 billion yuan ($10.77 billion). Due to its large participation and nationwide media report, marathons are considered by local governments an important part of marketing their cities. Thus, many cities list unique routes across local scenic spots and historical attractions, not only to boost people's fitness, but also to promote local tourism.‎ For many runners, marathons are a way of life." As we get older, the places and opportunities to meet new people decrease. I find that participating in marathons is a simple way to make friends," said Wu, who made many friends in the Xstop Running Community, a running club with 48,000 members established by Xtep, one of the leading distributors of sports merchandise in China.‎ ‎"The sense of belonging and the mutual encouragement that exists within the running community are very attractive to many people. We easily befriend one another, since we have the same goal: to keep running and never stop," Wu said. Besides, a marathon can be a great way to explore new places. For a runner who also loves traveling, marathons are a solid choice. "Competing in an international marathon is a chance to experience a city or a country you've never visited before," said Meng, an experienced runner from north China's Tianjin Municipality, who often runs in London, New York and Melbourne.‎ There's a unique perspective that people get running through the streets of a city, distinct ancient buildings or amazing natural settings, he explained, things that somehow just can't be seen by rushing in a car. In addition, during a race, streets are often closed off so you don't have to battle traffic.‎ ‎28．Which word has the closest meaning to the underlined word "triggered" in the first paragraph？___ A．motivated      B．solved     C．battled    D．increased ‎29．Who is most likely to take part in the marathons___‎ A．John，a company manager  ‎ B．Jack，a middle-aged farmer C．Rose，a high school student D．Maria，a retired teacher ‎30．According to paragraph 3&4，which of the following statement is NOT true？___ ‎ A．A marathon can be a great way to explore new places B．There is few traffic in the streets during a marathon race． C．You see common sights by running through the streets of a city D．Many people are attracted to mutual encouragement of the running community．‎ ‎31．Why do local governments support the marathons？___ A．Because nationwide media coverage can make them famous．‎ B．Because they realize the benefits for their citizens． C．Because local scenic spots and historical attractions can have unique routes． D．Because they want to make people healthier and boost tourism．‎ 参考答案：28-31 AACD ‎[三]‎ If you rent an apartment in Beijing, you also rent the landlord or landlady for at least a year. It's important you find a good match because you have to deal with them in the long term. For me, it was love at first sight with the elderly couple who owns my apartment.‎ It was quite a tough trying to find the right apartment when I first arrived in Beijing. The apartments were either unsuitable or I find fault with the owners who looked indifferent at best and unfriendly at worst. But that all changed when the renting agent's car stopped in front of a hutong house in the heart of the capital.‎ I saw an elderly couple, in their 70s perhaps, waving to me. They were warm and welcoming at first glance, and when I saw them attentively hanging up the curtains in what would become my bedroom, I was just about sold on the place and the owners!‎ Chinese people talk about yuanfen, meaning fate that brings people together. Before I met my current landlords, I thought the concept of yuanfen was overrated. A generous landlady who liked me and wanted me to move into her apartment had used the term in reference to me. But it was this lovely couple that changed my mind about the concept.‎ We have become accustomed to visiting each other at home. The couple's apartment is lovingly decorated, boasting a recent wedding photo of themselves taken in bridal wear. The landlord likes to smoke and sip tea, while the landlady takes great pride in her appearance. ‎ After three years, I dare say they treat me a bit like a “daughter”, despite having two grown sons, one of them close by. They give me gifts of tea or clothes, and I bring them souvenirs from my trips. A match made in heaven, indeed!‎ ‎24.

We walked the whole day. Every now and then he put stones in our backpacks. To our surprise, he also took some stones out from them. But we thought he had just found better stones.‎ When we returned to the house, we were very tired. The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relief （轻松）when we took them off. Yet our uncle’s backpack was half empty.‎ ‎"Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked.‎ ‎ "I didn’t. You did." he said. “You didn't know it, but I gave you a little attitude test today. I listened to every word you said. Whenever you were complaining, I added a stone to your backpacks. whenever you talked about something with positive thinking, I took out a stone. And now look at your backpacks."‎ Our backpacks were full of stones.‎ ‎“Your negative thoughts are just like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in your backpacks.

At first, Carmen wasn’t really sure what was happening. In class, she had to squint (眯眼) to see the blackboard clearly. As it got worse, she became more and more worried. It was important for her to see the notes and homework the teacher wrote on the board. ‎ In class, she asked for a desk that was closer to the blackboard. One day, her teacher said, “Carmen, I’ve noticed you squinting a lot. Are you having trouble seeing the board?” Carmen shook her head. “I’m fine, Mrs. Cruz.” ‎ At home, she had to sit closer and closer to the television. Her mother noticed her squinting as she watched her favorite shows.‎ ‎“Tomorrow I will go to see a doctor,” she said firmly. Three days later, Carmen had new glasses. She was told to wear them all the time. “All of the kids at school will think I’m a nerd (书呆子),” she said. “You look just as beautiful with those glasses on as you do without them,” her mother said. But Carmen didn’t believe her.‎ The next day, Carmen kept the glasses in her pocket as she walked into the schoolyard. Suddenly, she heard her friend Theresa shout. “What’s wrong?” she asked.‎ ‎“My silver ring is gone!” Theresa cried. Carmen could tell that Theresa was very upset. They all looked for the ring in the grassy area of the playground.‎ Carmen realized that she could search better if she could see better. She took the glasses out of her pocket and put them on. Everything looked so different! So clear! And a glimmer (微光) of silver caught her eye.‎ ‎“Here it is,” she shouted. “Thanks Carmen,” Theresa said. “I didn’t know you ‎ wore glasses.

As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter（仇恨的）bout him.

Instead of looking at nature, I checked my email. Instead of paddling an small boat, I followed my Twitter feed (推特简讯). Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning. I was behaving as if I were still in the office. My body was on vacation but my head wasn’t. So this year I made up my mind to try something different; withdrawal (退出) from the Internet. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control. But I was determined. I started by handing the iPad to my wife.The cell phone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts cheating an experience in frustration (沮丧). I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan. Largely cut off from email, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for radio-and how much radio can one listen to, really I had no choice but to do what I had planned to all along: read books. This experience has had a happy ending. With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem. I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi. “Don’t need it,” I said. However, as we return to post -vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work? There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great. And I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely. But I hope to resist the temptation (诱惑) to ‎ check my email every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two. I think a vacation is supposed to help you reset your brain to become more productive. Here I hope this one worked. 24. What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation? A. He was determined to enjoy the beautiful view. B. His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel. C. He felt satisfied that he had stuck to his usual timetable. D. He hated himself for acting like he was at work while vacationing. 25. What did the author do to keep away from the Internet this year? A. He handed his iPad to his wife. B. He cut off his cellphone signal. C. He refused to cheat in his house. D. He listened to the radio most of the time. 26. When back at work, the author will probably choose to ____. A. stay away from the Internet for ever B. continue to read more and more books C. keep control of when and how to use the Internet. D. stop checking what is being said right now completely. 27. What is the author’s opinion of a great vacation in the passage? A. A vacation is having nothing to do but read all day. B. A vacation proves that a life of pleasure is overrated. C. A vacation is a period of time to do whatever one wished to. D. A vacation means a change of pace to make one more creative.‎ 参考答案：24--27DACD ‎ ‎[九]‎ ‎ In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.‎ ‎ But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city.

After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it is a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.‎ ‎ As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city.‎ ‎ "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.‎ ‎33.
