‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类10篇专题训练之十八 ‎[一]‎ I recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash, and something happened at the memorial service that he'll never forget. He shared the story with me. ‎ At the memorial service, his friend's wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering. She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together. At the moment, she had been too sad to answer, but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question. ‎ They were in their late forties when he died, and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier. She had quit her job to obtain her master's degree, and her husband never hesitated in his support. ‎ He held down his own job and also did the cooking, cleaning, and other housework while she studied for her degree. ‎ One time they both stayed up all night. She was finishing her paper, and he was preparing for an important business meeting. That morning, she walked out of her study, leaned against the door by the stairs, looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him. She knew how important this meeting was to his future, and she was feeling guilty that she didn't even have time to make his breakfast. He took his briefcase and hurried out. She heard the garage door open and close, but much to her surprise, she heard it open again about thirty seconds later. From above, she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table. Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words "I love you", then he raced back to his ‎ car. ‎ The new widow then looked out at her audience and said, "John and I had a wonderful life together. We have been around the world several times. We've had everything money can buy. . . but nothing comes close to that moment."‎ Hearing this, I was deeply moved. "Love makes life worthwhile. "‎ ‎29.

I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say.

The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.　 ‎ ‎　　He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.　　‎ ‎　　A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.　　‎ ‎　　“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”‎ ‎27.

You have a job, a family and you’re about 40 years old! Welcome to your future life.‎ Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror.“Turn red,” you say. Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronics(智能电子元件)are rearranged in your shirt to change its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you’re 40.You look much younger. With amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You’re not even middle-aged!‎ As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl, you hear, “To lose weight, you shouldn’t eat that.” from your shoes.

You decide to listen to your shoes.“Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?”A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies.‎ ‎“Ready for your trip to space?”you ask your son and daughter. In 2005 only specially trained astronauts went into space—and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations. Your best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, “The doctor said you need these for space travel.”Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots(防疫针)are a thing of the past. Ordinary foods contain special vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front door.‎ It’s time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints ‎ and unlocks the doors.“My office. Autopilot,” you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer.

The father was furious at his son's question. ‎ ‎ When he said $20 an hour, the little boy asked his father to lend $10 to him. The father was even angrier because he thought the boy just wanted some money to buy a toy. So he didn't answer his son. ‎ ‎  The little boy quietly went to his room. After about an hour or so, the man calmed down and started to think: Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10. ‎ ‎   "Maybe I was too hard on you just now," the man went into the room and said. "Here's the $10 you asked for." ‎ ‎   "Oh, thank you, Daddy!" He said. Then, he reached under his pillow, pulled out some crumpled coins and said, "Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you." ‎ ‎21．How much does the man make if he works 10 hours? ‎ A. $10. B. $20. C. $30.

" Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought ‎ about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls. ‎ ‎ The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits. ‎ ‎ Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says. " I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease. "‎ ‎ But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up -again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. ‎ ‎ Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be. "‎ ‎25. Why did Mary feel regretful?‎ ‎ A. She didn't achieve her ambition. ‎ ‎ B. She didn't take care of her mother. ‎ C. She didn't complete her high school. ‎ D. She didn't follow her mother's advice. ‎ ‎26.

Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her . ‎ A. living with diabetes ‎ B. successful show business C. service for an organization D. remembrance of her mother ‎ ‎28. When Mary received the life-changing news, she . ‎ ‎ A. lost control of herself B. began a balanced diet ‎ C. meant to get a treatment D. behaved in an adult way ‎ 参考答案：25-28 DBAA ‎[六]‎ I had been working for a company in Australia for more than ten years. I had just found a better job and I knew that the manager would be disappointed when I was leaving.‎ I recently became friends with a young man who had just migrated (移民) to Australia to escape war in his homeland. He was unskilled and was finding life difficult as he was unemployed.‎ The manager asked me to introduce someone who I thought could do the ‎ job just as well as me, so I took this opportunity to prerare an interview for my new friend. However, in the end, he was not offered the job after the interview.‎ Later, I asked the manager why my friend was turned down. The manager thought that his English was not good enough for the position, but I suggested that my friend will be a good choice for the company since I could train him. I believed that once given the time to learn, he could do the job. After a week’s training, he was employed and was happy with his position.‎ I knew how the terrible war had forced him to leave his homeland and what price he had paid for doing so.

I have only one hand.”‎ Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”‎ In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.‎ That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that”look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.‎ ‎“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.‎ ‎ I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs; I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.‎ One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”‎ For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks.

As I was approaching my car, I noticed that some person came and stood beside me. He was the one that could be considered as a bum. It seemed that he had no car, no home and no job. I thought that he would ask me for money, but he did not do that, he only said: “Your car is very nice”.‎ After several moments of silence, I replied: “Thanks”, and then the inner voice told me, “Ask him if he needs help”. After a short hesitation(犹豫) I asked him if he needed any help. His response was ‎ astonishing. I will never forget those simple three words that I heard from him: —“Don’t we all?”‎ It was a true discovery to me. I needed help. Although I had money and a place to sleep, but I recognized that I needed help too. Then I opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and some shelter for a day.‎ Suddenly I understood that no matter how much money we have, we all need help. On the other hand, no matter how poor you are and how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to others and you still might be giving. Even it’s just a nice word, you can give that and it can be priceless to other persons.‎ Maybe that man was just a homeless stranger, but to me he was more than that. Maybe he was sent by the Highest Loving Power personally to me to open my eyes and to show me that there is one thing, among all other values, which is very important and irreplaceable for each and every person. Actually, it is a true gift and it is called Giving.‎ ‎28.

Even though she didn’t want to see him any more, he seemed to turn up everywhere she went. By “coincidence” he went to the same movies, the same restaurants and the same shops. When she went on a date with a new guy and the old boyfriend just happened to appear, she became suspicious(怀疑的). Police found a global positioning system(GPS) device(设备) in her car that the old boyfriend was using to follow her.‎ New communication technologies always have a combination of benefits and problems. GPS allows hikers and people in boats and cars to avoid getting lost; GPS can also help police track stolen cars. Because GPS systems are built into cell phones, police and others who help in an emergency(紧急情况) can more easily locate someone who calls for help.‎ A new form of identification is Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). RFID uses tiny microchips(芯片), the size of a grain of sand. They are used like bar codes on products, but nothing has to be scanned in; walking past a detector(检测器) is enough. RFIDs are now being sewn into clothing. This is fine when you are paying, but when you wear your clothes and walk back into the store, the store will know exactly what you bought when you bought it and how much you paid for it. Moreover, based on what you are wearing, the store advertisements may change just for you as you walk by. Is this the end of privacy?‎ These concerns also expand to new video telephones. Lots of kids will use them to see their friends as they talk, but parents may like them for another reason. Kids who claim to be studying with a friend may answer the phone and find themselves caught at a movie or shopping mall.‎ ‎28．RFID may soon __________.‎ A. track all your movements in stores B. help you buy new clothes C. replace GPS totally D. create new kinds of advertisements ‎29．One concern about the new technology is________.‎ A. the price B. detectors C. privacy D. the shape ‎30．The main purpose of the passage is to tell people _______.‎ A. we will soon see RFIDS on video telephones ‎ B. the advantage of GPS is tracking stolen cars C. new communication technologies are bad for people ‎ D. technology has strengths and weaknesses ‎ 参考答案：28---30 ACD ‎ ‎[十]‎ ‎ Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them. 　　Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. 　　People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy. 　　It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed ‎ to fox hunting, because they think it is cruel, has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.     Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labor Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain. 32. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes A. for recreation　(娱乐)　　   B. in the interests of the farmers　 C. to limit the fox population   D. to show off their wealth 33. What is special about fox hunting in Britain? A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.   ‎ B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs. C. The hunters have set rules to follow. ‎ D.The hunters have to go through strict training.‎ ‎34. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________. A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes   ‎ B. forbid hunting foxes with dogs C. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside D. prevent large-scale fox hunting ‎35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. killing foxes with poison are illegal B. limiting the fox population is unnecessary C. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent D. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich 参考答案：32-35．CACBC
