‎2019届二轮复习 阅读理解记叙文专题10篇训练之一 ‎[一]‎ It took me a moment to realize what had happened. Three days had passed and Rita seemed to get weaker and weaker. The rain had stopped. However，the sky was still cloudy，and it was so dark that I couldn't see the buildings even across the road. I took a pressure reading from the weather station：947 mb，which let me know exactly where I was—in the eye of the storm.‎ There were rains and winds still，but not oppressive (难以忍受的)anymore. There was still no power，hot water or food. Besides，I didn't sleep well for all these days，but I felt more relaxed since the weather report said Rita was leaving. What's more，I was luckier than those people who had lost their homes or even worse，lost their lives because of Rita.‎ As I travelled further to the west，going after the storm，the damage along the way became less severe. I arrived in Houston after a tricky journey with my fuel supplies almost all gone. However，I came across another storm chaser (追逐者) who had 45 gallons of petrol. He helped me and we shared our working experience these days. With a complete stroke of luck I found a rundown hotel that allowed me to have a room overnight before the midnight. Although there was no running water，no power and no air conditioning，I curled up into a corner and fell asleep quickly.‎ I woke up the next morning，and what a change! The sky was blue and cars were moving around. Sirens could be heard as convoys (护航队)of emergency managements started to head west towards where I had come from. The storm had stopped and I could go home. I gave all my remaining supplies to other people at the hotel and headed towards the airport. Houston Airport was not damaged，so I took my flight and drank my first hot drink in four days.‎ All in all，when I came back home，I was proud that I finally made it again to follow and record the storm and I really learned a lot these days. Although it's dangerous，I love my job as not many people would go into the eye of an intense storm.‎ ‎24．We can know from the passage that “Rita” is ．‎ A．a pet B．a storm C．a friend of the author D．a citizen in Houston ‎25．What can we infer from the passage?‎ A．The author was a storm chaser.‎ B．The storm lasted for at least a week.‎ C．The author didn't like Houston at all.‎ D．Houston was very badly damaged by the storm.‎ ‎26．How did the author probably feel after the storm?‎ A．Anxious.　　　 B．Disappointed.‎ C．Satisfied.

The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger. I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I had thought about people ‎ and Christmas.‎ It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a child's bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd，waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while，the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike，fine，but if we did not，I was OK with that too.‎ As the shelf of bikes began to gradually decrease in size，I saw my polite opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it off the box and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Threat was not the word to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous belts of metal pointed leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos (文身) were an obvious passion of his.‎ I started to return anxiously the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me，smiled，and said，“Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout，paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all previous views I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices. I will never forget the tenderness of a human heart in a simple act.‎ ‎24．Why does the author view the gift as the best?‎ A．Because it was given by a stranger.‎ B．Because it was donated by a charity.‎ C．Because it improved his level of living.‎ D．Because it changed his opinion on people.‎ ‎25．What can we know about the bike at that time?‎ A．It sold well that night.‎ B．It was attractive to women.‎ C．It was equipped with a whistle.‎ D．It was sold at a lower price on that morning.‎ ‎26．What can we infer about the stranger with tattoos?‎ A．He was awful in appearance but kind in heart.‎ B．He was handsome and goodmannered.‎ C．He was big but cautious in behavior.‎ D．He was lovely and energetic.‎ ‎27．What may be the best title for the text?‎ A．A True Gentleman I Met B．The Best Gift I Ever Received C．A Choice That Changed My View D．A Stranger Who Gave Me a Gift ‎【语篇解读】　作者收到的最好的一件礼物来自陌生人，因为它改变了作者对人们的看法。‎ ‎24．D　细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“His Christmas present to me changed the way I had thought about people and Christmas.”可知，作者把这个礼物当成自己最好的礼物是因为它改变了作者对人们的看法。故选D。‎ ‎25．D　推理判断题。由第二段后几句“We stood with a very large crowd，waiting for the manager. ... I was OK with that too.”可推知，许多人去排队，必然是商品在打折，所以这款自行车一定是以比较低的价格出售。选D。‎ ‎26．A　推理判断题。由最后一段前三句“I started to return anxiously the box but ...，and said，‘Merry Christmas’”可知有文身的这个陌生人外表很吓人，但是心地很善良。故选A。‎ ‎27．B　主旨大意题。由第一段可知，文章主要讲述了作者收到的最好的一件礼物是来自于陌生人，因为它改变了作者对人们的看法。故选B。‎ ‎[三]‎ Three Feet From Gold Darby's uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the goldrush days，and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor，he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore(矿石)．He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So，with the“strike”，he returned home. And with the help of Darby，he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having it shipped，Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.‎ The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!‎ Then something happened! The vein(矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled on，but all ‎ in vain. Finally，they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer's calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein，because he knew enough to seek expert's advice before giving up.‎ Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby，who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it，although he was years in doing so.‎ Long afterward，Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune，for he stopped three feet from gold，Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work，saying to himself，“I stopped three feet from gold，but I will never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.” ‎ Darby sold more than a million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes his “stickability” to the lesson he learned from his “quitability” in the gold mining business.‎ ‎24．Darby's uncle went back home to ．‎ A．receive his reward B．seek financial support C．look for more helpers D．consult an engineer ‎25．The Darbys failed in mining business because of ．‎ A．quitting drilling on B．the disappearance of the vein C．the shortage of the machinery D．competing against the junk man ‎26．From the passage，we can know Darby ．‎ A．was unable to pay off the debts B．mined his gold from the failure C．learned a lesson from selling insurance D．devoted himself to making new discoveries ‎27．The author intends to tell us that ．‎ A．hopes and difficulties exist side by side B．correct decisions stems from correct judgement C．we should catch it when an opportunity comes D．we won't reach our goal unless we persist ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。Darby的叔叔开采金矿半途而废，后来又从事销售人寿保险业务。由于有前车之鉴，他坚持不放弃，终于成功了。作者通过这个故事告诉我们，除非我们坚持下去，否则我们无法实现我们的目标。‎ ‎24．B　推理判断题。根据第一段中“So，with the ‘strike’，he returned home. And with the help of Darby，he borrowed a lot of money.”可知，Darby的叔叔回到家寻求财政支持。故答案为B。‎ ‎25．A　推理判断题。根据第三段中“They drilled on，but all in vain. Finally，they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars.”可知，在采矿业务上失败了，因为他们放弃了钻探。故答案为A。‎ ‎26．B　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“I stopped three feet from gold，but I will never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”和最后一段第一句“Darby sold more than a million dollars in life insurance annually.”可知，Darby从失败中挖掘出了他人生的金子。故答案为B。‎ ‎27．D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He owes his ‘stick ability’ to the lesson he learned from his ‘quitability’ in the gold mining business.”可知，作者想告诉我们，除非我们坚持下去，否则我们无法达到我们的目标。故答案为D。‎ ‎[四]‎ I stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students，waiting for the answer to our burning question：What type of crazy tie would Mr. Miller be wearing today?‎ Our teacher walked around the corner with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant coffee cup! Oh，the satisfaction in our young hearts—a green elephant tie!‎ With his glasses at the tip of his nose，he greeted us cheerfully，“Good morning，folks！” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.‎ I loved music，so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music，my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the ‎ sound of ...Peter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”．‎ Snickers (窃笑) filled the room. If it wasn't rap or hip hop，we didn't recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me，a girl of 12，it was a discovery. An awakening.‎ Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musicalnote shirts as I greet them with a joyful，“Good morning，class！” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.‎ I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award，which I received for being a dynamic teacher and I smile to myself，wondering which child in front of me will carry this on—as I've carried on the legacy (遗产) of Mr. Miller.‎ One teacher，who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me，threw the significant stone into the pond of my life. I pray the ripples (涟漪) never end.‎ ‎24．What can we infer about Mr. Miller?‎ A．He was an animal lover.‎ B．He didn't take his work seriously.‎ C．He often dressed up in an unusual way.‎ D．He often asked his students burning questions.‎ ‎25．How did the author react to the song “If I Had a Hammer” ?‎ A．Puzzled.

But while the exact origins of puppet theatre are unknown，it has been popular in many cultures and may have been the very first kind of theatre，” he explains.‎ Roberts' shows are highly original.“A puppet show can involve anything from clowning(傻逗) to storytelling，” he says. Equally diverse are the audiences he performs for.“Some are attracted by the puppets themselves，while others enjoy the dialogue.” Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.‎ Roberts' interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets on Christmas. He started putting on shows with these for family and friends and then moved on to handmade Chinese string puppets. Learning mostly from books and personal experience，he explains，“I was already spending most of my free time carving puppets and putting on shows，so I hardly noticed the change from students to fulltime professional puppeteer.” ‎ The puppets are designed specifically for each show，which is extremely time consuming. According to Roberts，“Sometimes what you expect and what you actually create in the end are ‎ two very different things. I've made some of my best puppets ‘accidentally’．” ‎ ‎“When most people hear the word ‘puppetry’，they more than likely think of a way of keeping children entertained at birthday parties. Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be lighthearted rather than serious. However，Roberts wants to point out that puppets come serious messages sometimes.” he says.‎ ‎24．What do we know about puppetry in the first paragraph?‎ A．It is a most popular form of entertainment.‎ B．It cannot give people pleasure any more.‎ C．It was first brought to life by Peter Roberts.‎ D．Its value as an art form is not fully recognized.‎ ‎25．In Roberts' eyes，his puppet shows ．‎ A．usually attract people full of humor B．are most something for old aged audience C．display something meaningful for different people D．involve hard work and great intelligence ‎26．Roberts developed an interest in puppets because of ．‎ A．the puppet show books B．his university major C．a Christmas gift D．some Chinese string puppets ‎27．What does Roberts want people to think of puppet theatre?‎ A．It is just a kind of entertainment for kids.‎ B．It can be educational as well as entertaining.‎ C．It is only a kind of serious art form.‎ D．It should be kept lighthearted.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文为记叙文。享有盛名的木偶大师罗伯特却让自己的木偶表演极具独创性，不仅具有观赏性也有一定的教育意义。‎ ‎24．D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“People are quite often surprised to hear what I do for ‎ living and have little appreciation of puppy as a form of entertainment.”可知，人们很少把木偶表演看作是一种娱乐形式来欣赏。D项(它作为一种艺术形式没有被充分认可)符合题意。‎ ‎25．C　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Roberts believes that this form of entertainment can be appreciated by people of all ages and cultures.”可知，罗伯特相信这种娱乐形式可能被不同年龄、不同文化的人们欣赏。‎ ‎26．C　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Roberts' interest in puppets started when he received some beautiful glove puppets one Christmas.” 可知，罗伯特对木偶的兴趣始于圣诞节时他收到了一些漂亮的手套木偶。故选C项。‎ ‎27．B　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Certainly the subject matter will be expected to be lighthearted rather than serious. However，Roberts wants to point out that puppets come serious messages sometimes.”可知，木偶表演的主题更多的是轻松愉快的而不是严肃的。然而，罗伯特指出木偶表演有时也传递一些严肃的东西。由此推断，木偶表演既是一种娱乐也有一定的教育性。故选B。‎ ‎[六]‎ I was in the middle of a sweet dream when a noise startled me. Bam! Bam! It sounded like a hammer pounding on a tough nail. Bam! Bam! BAM! Who could be hammering at three in the morning? It must be Charlie again，making another invention.‎ Just as I was putting on my slippers and clothes，the noise changed. I sat at the edge of my bed and listened. Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch. Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.‎ I started dozing off，dangerously leaning to the left，when the ticking stopped. It was now replaced by a buzz，similar to the noise coming from a beehive in midsummer，only louder. I shivered I'm allergic to bees! Even just thinking about it or hearing a bee like sound makes me swell.‎ ‎“That's it！” I shouted，now wide awake，“I can't take it anymore！” I marched to the next apartment and knocked. My neighbor immediately opened the door.His curly brown hair was sticking up every which way. He wore baggy striped pants and a loose shirt.‎ ‎“Hi，there，Lucy! What's up？” he asked.‎ I pointed at my noiseless watch. “Do you know what time it is？” ‎ He grabbed my arm and glanced at my timepiece.“Oh，my! I didn't realize it was that late. I'm busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia (失眠)．It's almost finished. You want to see it？” I should have known. His last invention was supposed to get rid of bad smells，but it ‎ was powered by rotten eggs.‎ ‎24．What made the author sleepy again?‎ A．The ticking sound.‎ B．The coming of the bees.‎ C．The smell of the rotten eggs.‎ D．His neighbors silence.‎ ‎25．What was Charlie doing?‎ A．He was inventing a wristwatch.‎ B．He was working with the bees.‎ C．He was making a new machine.‎ D．He was fixing a broken clock.‎ ‎26．How did Charlie feel when he saw the author?‎ A．Scared. B．Surprised.‎ C．Annoyed. D．Disappointed.‎ ‎27．What can we learn about Charlie's last machine in the last paragraph?‎ A．It doesn't work.‎ B．It makes a loud noise.‎ C．It gives off terrible smells while working.‎ D．It is the latest machine that can cure insomnia.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者正在做一个甜美的梦，这时一声巨响吓了他一跳。这是他的邻居Charlie在搞发明，随后他去找邻居沟通这件事。‎ ‎24．A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch.Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.”可知，滴答滴答的声音使作者再次昏昏欲睡。故A项正确。‎ ‎25．C　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“It must be Charlie again，making another invention.”可知，Charlie正在制造一台新机器。故C项正确。‎ ‎26．B　推理判断题。根据第五段“Hi，there，Lucy! What's up？” he asked.可知，当Charlie看到作者时，他感到惊讶。故B项正确。‎ ‎27．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“His last invention was supposed to get rid of bad smells，but it was powered by rotten eggs.”可知，Charlie最后的机器在工作的时候散发出难闻的气味。故C项正确。‎ ‎[七]‎ Eighteen years ago，Terry Grahl，was pregnant with her fourth child.“Money was very tight.” Terry recalls. So when her mom called to ask if she'd like to go shopping at the local fabric(布料)store for the coming Christmas，she couldn't say no because she knew she badly needed some fabrics to make new clothes for her children. “I remember walking around，gazing at all this beautiful fabric，wondering whether there is anything cheap that I could afford. And I could still get some money left to buy Christmas gifts for my family.” ‎ Well，Terry's mom must have known what Terry was thinking. Smiling kindly，she whispered to Terry，“You pick any fabrics you like. It's your Christmas gift from me.” Terry's eyes were filled with tears as the cart began to overflow with many fabrics，but not because Terry was planning on making herself a pretty dress or a pair of curtains for the kitchen. Rather，Terry's mom's kindness had inspired some holiday gift ideas in Terry，and it didn't take long for Terry to figure out what she was going to do with all that fabric.‎ ‎“I was going to make my first quilt.” She explains.“Every night I would work on this queensize quilt. With every stitch(一针)，I thought about all that my mom had done for me over the course of my childhood，during which we were always battling homelessness，but Mom somehow managed to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.” ‎ On Christmas day，five days after her baby girl was born，Terry handed her mom a gift box. Inside was the quilt she had sewn，from the fabric her mother had given her as a gift.‎ ‎24．What do we know about Terry eighteen years ago?‎ A．Terry made a living by making clothes.‎ B．Terry had a bad relationship with her mom.‎ C．Terry and her family lived a hard life at that time.‎ D．Terry often went shopping at the local fabric store.‎ ‎25．Which of the following words best describes her mom?‎ A．Strict.

Smiling kindly，she whispered to Terry，‘You pick any fabrics you like. It's your Christmas gift from me.’”可知，Terry的母亲知道自己的女儿在想什么，并且买下布料当作圣诞节礼物送给女儿。由此推断出Terry的母亲非常体贴和慷慨。故选D。‎ ‎26．D　推理判断题。由第三段最后一句“With every stitch(一针)，I thought about ... to fill our lives with love and make everything okay.”可推断出母亲无尽的爱使得Terry改变了她关于圣诞节礼物的想法，选D。‎ ‎27．B　主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了十八年以前，Terry和她的家人在那时过着非常艰难的生活。当时，Terry正怀着她的第四个孩子，她需要给孩子买些布料，但是兜里的钱又不够，自己的母亲体贴地买下这些布料当作圣诞节礼物送给Terry。Terry回想着母亲无尽的爱，于是把这些布料缝成了一条被子，送给了母亲。所以选B。‎ ‎[八]‎ The first six months I was married，I truly wanted to scream and pull my hair out. My husband and I really had some allout battles about his parents (regarding finances，where we would live，religious issues，etc.)．Unfortunately，he was completely oblivious to how I felt or that anything was truly wrong. When I was going through all of this with my husband，I really felt so alone.I thought I was crazy/selfish to feel that way and often blamed myself. At first，I called him a Mama's Boy and told him I felt like I was a low priority to him. This，of course，did not go over ‎ well ...so I changed my direction.‎ I've been married for three years now，and Jenna's book played a big role in gaining my husband's loyalty. I started out by making a decision that I would not berate (责怪) my husband for his family's actions. After all，he can't help what his relatives do，and to blame him for other people's actions wouldn't really be fair. Secondly，I made a resolution that I would NEVER let them create an argument or problem between my husband and me ...this was really a groundbreaking moment for me. After all，it was in my power to control what items became issues in my marriage. I wouldn't allow petty stuff his family did to upset our balance ...that would just give them more power，control，and influence. This took a lot of time，but once my husband realized that I was taking the high road，he started listening to me more.‎ I promised “for better or for worse” and I decided not to let my inlaws make it worse. As a new bride，I had no idea what I was in for in terms of family management，and even now I take time to reread certain sections from Jenna's book periodically. It is taking time and patience to gain my husband's loyalty，and it's an ongoing process — but I think it's well worth it.‎ ‎24．What can be learned from the first paragraph?‎ A．The writer agreed with her mother/fatherinlaw in religion.‎ B．The writer felt really happy the first six months she was married.‎ C．Money might be no problem for the writer's family.‎ D．Her husband didn't care about her so much as expected.‎ ‎25．Which of the following column names best suits the passage?‎ A．A method of sound income and environment for employees.‎ B．An inspiration of happy marriage forever for gentlemen.‎ C．A source of hope and encouragement for wives.‎ D．Interesting stories about family relationships.‎ ‎26．What does the underlined “that” refer to in the 2nd paragraph?‎ A．Allowing petty stuff.‎ B．Blaming her husband.‎ C．Creating an argument.‎ D．Upsetting their balance.‎ ‎27．What is the author's attitude toward Jenna's book?‎ A．Critical.　　　　　 B．Objective.‎ C．Suspicious. D．Appreciative.‎ ‎【语篇解读】　本文是一篇家庭生活的记叙文。作者刚结婚时由于家庭问题经常和丈夫争吵，是Jenna 的书对作者产生了很大的影响，使作者改变了心态，赢得了丈夫的忠诚。作者对这本书心存感激。‎ ‎24．D　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句和“Unfortunately，he was completely oblivious to how I felt or that anything was truly wrong. When I was going through all of this with my husband，I really felt so alone.”等内容可知，结婚的前六个月作者由于各种家庭问题和丈夫经常吵架，而丈夫并没有注意到这些细节，没有像作者期望的那样关心在意她。故选D。‎ ‎25．C　推理判断题。作者首先介绍了结婚后生活中的种种矛盾；第二段中“Jenna's book played a big role in gaining my husband's loyalty.”和最后一段中“even now I take time to reread certain sections from Jenna's book periodically. It is taking time and patience to gain my husband's loyalty，and it's an ongoing process”介绍了Jenna 的书对作者产生了很大的影响，使作者改变了心态，成功经营了婚姻。C项：给妻子希望和鼓励的源泉，最适合本篇内容。故选C.‎ ‎26．D　猜测词义题。此处指我不允许他的家人做一些琐碎的事情来破坏我们的平衡。这只会给他们更多的权力、控制权和影响力。此处that指的是破坏我们的平衡，即upsetting their balance。故选D。‎ ‎27．D　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Jenna's book played a big role in gaining my husband's loyalty.”和最后一段中“even now I take time to reread certain sections from Jenna's book periodically.It is taking time and patience to gain my husband's loyalty，and it's an ongoing process”可知，Jenna 的书对作者产生了很大的影响，使作者改变了心态，赢得了丈夫的忠诚。所以作者对Jenna的书是感激的。故选D。‎ ‎[九]‎ A few weeks ago，I called an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car，the warm intonations (语调) of the driver's accent washed over me in a familiar way.‎ I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children，working hard to provide for his family. I could relate：I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. That's how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted (闪烁) at me in the rearview window，and quickly，we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter，all grown up—the product of his sacrifice.‎ And then came the fateful question：“What do you study？” I answered “history and ‎ literature” and the pride in his voice faded，as I knew it might. I didn't even get to add “and AfricanAmerican studies” before he cut in，his voice thick with disappointment.“All that work to get into Harvard，and you study history？” ‎ Here I was，his daughter，squandering the biggest opportunity of her life.
