‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文话题10篇训练之一 ‎[一]‎ My teenager son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.‎ One night I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as a head teacher, “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences (缺席).” Before he could say another word I choked up (硬咽). And said sadly, “I love my son. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The head teacher seriously said, “Thank you for your time.”‎ Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. He was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I took part in a parent-teacher meeting. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the head teacher last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but I heard you said, It really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”‎ ‎26. Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined word “withdrawn”?‎ A. Quiet and lonely. ‎ B. Relaxed and excited.‎ C. Active and lively. ‎ D. Happy and easygoing.‎ ‎27. According to the first report card, Karl ________.‎ A. often went to school late. B. did well at school.‎ C. did a good job at school. D. failed in the exams.‎ ‎28. When the mother “it’s out of my hands” to the head teacher, she meant that she _________.‎ A. didn’t know what to do about her son.‎ B. would drive her son away from the house. ‎ C. had no money to support the family.‎ D. would have to Kang up.‎ ‎29.

No matter if they’re a good kid or a trouble maker or anything, they always thought they were in trouble,” she says.‎ ‎ McSparin says she got the idea for the project after attending a professional development workshop this summer called the power of positivity.‎ ‎ “I like the idea of letting students know they are appreciated, because we do appreciate them, I just don’t think we say it enough,” she told local news outlet WDAF-TV.‎ It’s safe to say the challenge was effective.‎ ‎ “I feel special,” said one of the boys in the video. “You should,” said his teacher. “You are special.”‎ 28. What does the underlined word “posed” in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ ‎ A. Presented. B. Rejected. C. Ignored. D. Evaluated. ‎ 29. How did the students probably feel when pulled out of the classroom at first?‎ A. Nervous. B. Thrilled. C. Curious. D. Encouraged.‎ ‎30. What inspired McSparin to challenge the project?‎ ‎ A. The trouble caused by students.‎ ‎ B. The need of shooting the video.‎ ‎ C. A seminar named the power of positivity.‎ ‎ D. A program related to students’ interactions.‎ ‎31. What message does this text mainly convey? ‎ ‎ A. Challenge is unavoidable in life. ‎ ‎ B. Everyone needs to be appreciated.‎ ‎ C. Positivity outweighs negativity.‎ ‎ D. News media contribute to students’ progress.‎ 参考答案：28. A 29. A 30. C 31. B ‎ ‎[三]‎ One day, a college student was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his day’s work.‎ The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them.”‎ ‎“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him. ”‎ The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but feeling something hard, he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.      ‎ He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from dying.‎ The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. “Now,” said the professor, “are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?”‎ The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.”‎ ‎25. The student wanted to play the poor man a trick to ______.‎ A. find the truth                      B. show his wisdom C. amuse himself                     D. teach him a lesson ‎26.

Her father was very fond of Hughie, but would not hear of any engagement.‎ ‎“Come to me, my boy, when you have got ten thousand pounds of your own, and we will see about it,” he used to say; and Hughie looked very miserable in those days.‎ One morning he went to see a great friend of his, Alan Trevor, who was a painter. When he came into the studio he found Trevor putting the finishing touches to a wonderful life-size picture of a beggar-man. The beggar himself was standing on a platform in a corner of the room. He was a dried up old man with a lined face and a sad expression. Over his shoulder was thrown a rough brown coat, all torn and full of holes. His thick boots were old and mended, and with one hand he leaned on a rough stick, while with the other he held out his ancient hat for money.‎ ‎“Poor old fellow!” said Hughie. “How miserable he looks!”‎ At that moment a servant came in and told Trevor that a man wanted to speak to him. Trevor went out.‎ The old beggar-man sat down to rest for a moment. He looked so miserable that Hughie pitied him, and felt in his pockets to see what money he had. All he could find was a pound and some pennies. “Poor old fellow,” he thought to himself, “he wants it more than I do, but I shan’t have much money myself for a week or two”; and he walked across the room and slipped the pound into the beggar’s hand.‎ The old man jumped, and a faint smile passed across his old lips. “Thank you, sir,” he said, “thank you.”‎ That night Trevor told Hughie that the old “beggar” was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest men in Europe, who had asked him a month before to paint him as a beggar. He also said that he had told the old man all ‎ about the lovely Laura and the ten thousand pounds.‎ The next morning, as he was at breakfast, an old gentleman brought Hughie a letter from Baron Hausberg.

While in Wilmington a friend's mother met a bunch of the English sailors in a bar in downtown Wilmington. They invited us onto the ship; she invited them for a barbecue. We had a wonderful time. After they went to New York several of the sailors got off and spent time ‎ on the train going back and forth from Wilmington to visit their new found friends. Graham was one of them and after spending all the time we could together he left with his ship. We kept in touch and I flew to England to stay with his family at Christmas for two weeks and we were engaged, he came to visit the following Easter and I went back the next August. That visit he broke up with me and I flew back to the States in tears. A few years later he married in England, I married in the States and we lead separate lives for 25 years. ‎ I was married in 82, had a baby in 86 and was diagnosed with advanced stage breast cancer 6 weeks after my daughter was born. I was 26 and was given a 5 % chance to live 5 years. After a few years my marriage ended and I sent a letter to Graham’s mother because I had never forgotten him and was getting in touch with important people and taking care of things you do when you think you are dying. It took the letter awhile to catch up with his mother as she had moved several times over the years. She gave the letter to Graham and he called me. He was married with 2 sons; one was the same age +4 days as my daughter. Over the years we talked on the phone a few times and sent pictures and the occasional card. ‎ ‎ I remarried in 92 and we lost touch until he called on New Years Eve of the millennium. Both of our marriages were ending for various reasons but we still had an ocean between us and hadn’t seen each other for over 20 years. In August he was coming to the States on business and stopped by to see me. It was as if we had known each other forever and no time had passed with us apart. He came back over several times to visit when he was over for business and we fell in love all over again. He was transferred to Atlanta, GA. On 9/11 he drove straight from Atlanta to Delaware to be with me and asked me to marry him that night. We were married on Valentines Day 2002.

They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new way of furnishing an apartment or a house that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishing (furniture, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.‎ Why do people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people: international businessmen, government officials, airline workers, young married couples…the people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city(or country) to another…find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they rent. And people whose work takes them from place to place are saved the trouble and cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home.‎ One family, now settled in a large, beautiful home, liked their rented furniture so much they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But they don’t like to tell people about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.‎ ‎21.

Which of the following people likes renting of home furnishings?‎ ‎ A. teachers B. doctors C. air hostesses D. lawyers ‎24. The family which moved in a large, beautiful home doesn’t want people to know this because .‎ ‎ A. the furniture is so beautiful ‎ B. the idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new ‎ C. they are not quite sure whether their neighbors like their doing ‎ D. A, B and C ‎25. Which is the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. Rent or Buy B. You Can Do Whatever You Like ‎ C. Better Not Buy D.

First of all you keep getting older, and second you always get presents you can’t stand. If I could just have a nice chocolate cake all to myself, I’d be very happy. But no! I have received more ties, pajamas, umbrellas, and gloves than you can imagine. I keep all my unwanted gifts piled neatly in a corner of my closet. If I need one of the items, I draw from my stock, but that is a rare occurrence. The result is that my pile is quite large.‎ One day, my Aunt Gloria called me.‎ ‎“Hello, Shelley,” she said. “We’re having a surprise birthday party for cousin Stove. Will you be able to come on Thursday the 29th at 2 p.m.?”‎ ‎“One minute, while I look at my calendar,” I said.‎ ‎“Too bad,” I thought to myself. “I’m free. I guess I’ll have to go.” To Aunt Gloria, I said, “Yes, that day looks O.K. to me. I’ll be there. Should I bring anything for the party?”‎ ‎“No,” answered Aunt Gloria, “just bring yourself.”‎ The morning for the party arrived. After some thought, I decided that it would be proper to bring my aunt a little gift. I thought it would please ‎ her. I had a good stock of gifts in my closet, and so I decided to rewrap one and offer it to my aunt. It was getting late by the time I got around to wrapping it. So I grabbed the first box I saw and hastily wrapped it.‎ My relatives were all there when I arrived. They were glad to see me, and if the occasion hadn’t been a birthday party, I guess I would have been glad to see them. Uncle Joe told me I’d lost weight.‎ ‎“You look wonderful,” he said.‎ I plowed my way through a dozen more relatives to Aunt Gloria. “Here,” I graciously said, holding out my gift. “A little something for you.”‎ ‎“Oh, that’s very kind of you,” said my aunt. She began to unwrap the gift. “I wonder what it could be,” she murmured. Then she began to read a card that was enclosed, a card that I didn’t remember having put in.‎ ‎“Dear Shelley,” she read, “hope you enjoy these gloves. They’ll keep your fingers warm in the winter. Love, Aunt Gloria.”‎ ‎21. The reason why Shelley hates birthdays is that .‎ ‎ A. one keeps getting older ‎ B. one always gets gifts one can’t stand ‎ C. both A and B ‎ D. neither A nor B ‎22. What does the underlined part “just bring yourself” mean?‎ ‎ A. Shelley is a gift ‎ B. Only Shelley can go to the party ‎ C. Shelley have to give a present ‎ D.

Where does the gift which Shelley gave his aunt come from?‎ ‎ A. Shelley bought from the store. B. Shelley weaved himself.‎ ‎ C. Aunt Gloria gave him. D. The passage doesn’t say.‎ ‎25. What’s the best title of the text?‎ ‎ A. The Gift of Giving B. A Surprise Birthday Party ‎ C. Aunt Gloria D. I Hate Birthday 参考答案：‎ ‎21. C 细节理解题。第一段第二句中说出了讨厌过生日的两个原因。‎ ‎22. D 句意理解题。句意为“你人来就行了”，言外之意即不必带礼物。‎ ‎23. D 细节理解题。从倒数第五段最后一句中可以判定。说某人体重下降只是西方国家中恭维人的一种方式。‎ ‎24. C 归纳推理题。从文章的最后可以看出，Aunt Gloria在拆Shelley送的礼物时发现一张卡片，分明写着是Aunt Gloria送给Shelley的礼物。‎ ‎25. A 标题选择题。全文主要讲的是由于Shelley匆忙、粗心而造成的一次尴尬局面，自嘲自己不会送礼，gift此为“才能”之意。‎ ‎[八]‎ Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others, including Love.‎ One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave.‎ Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment.‎ When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave.‎ She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, can I come with you on your boat?”‎ Richness answered, “I’m sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere.”‎ Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing by in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please!” “I can’t help you,” Vanity said, “You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.”‎ Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please let me go with you.”‎ Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I just need to be alone now.”‎ Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, “Happiness, please take me with you.” But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love calling to him.‎ Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love, I will take you with me.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.‎ Love then found Knowledge and asked, “Who was it that helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “But why did Time help me when no one else would?” Love asked.‎ Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”‎ ‎21.Which one was the last to leave the island?‎ A.

It consisted of both happiness and sadness. Life always goes like this, up and down, as is so exciting. Now when I recall the past, no matter how I felt at that time, they are all treasures for me.‎ That was the moon festival last year, which was also the first time we went out after we entered the college. It was said that the sea in Dalian was well-known and was also a wonderful place to watch the moon. After getting all the food and drinking ready, we four girls set off for the seaside. There were many people and we picked up a less crowded beach. At first, we enjoyed ourselves by drinking and eating. When the moon turned brighter, we played with the seawater. As a result, we were all drenched with water. Bathing in the moonlight, we ran and laughed. We seemed to land on another world, where was full of fresh air, laughter and love. The laughter is still echoing on my mind so far. ‎ Life doesn’t stay the same, occasionally having a particular taste. That is sadness. What impressed me deeply is a failure in a singing competition. It was the first time I had given a performance on such a large stage in front of so many people. I was so nervous that the whole song was performed out of tune. As you could imagine, I was greeted with boos from the audience. I still remembered how dismal I felt that moment and I sat alone crying at the seaside. After that, I talked to mother about it. She told me that it was not a failure; at least, I was brave enough to show myself publicly. ‎ Everything has passed. I’ve stored them at the bottom of my heart. I am in the second grade already. Yet much needs me to challenge. On the way, there‘s both happiness and distress. However, I will go ahead just all the same.‎ ‎21. The author of the text is .‎ ‎ A. a boy B. a girl ‎ C. the passage doesn’t say D. none of the above ‎22. The underlined word “drenched” in the second paragraph has a similar meaning with .‎ ‎ A. dried B. wet ‎ C. frozen D. washed away ‎ ‎23.

It was wonderful B. It was disappointing ‎ C. The passage doesn’t say D. It was perfect ‎25. Which of the following shows the author’s attitude towards future?‎ ‎ A. A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ ‎ B. Do wrong once and you’ll never hear the end of it. ‎ ‎ C. Where there is a will, there is a way.‎ ‎ D. Time and tide wait for no man.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎21. B 细节理解题。从第二段第三句中可以看出。‎ ‎22. B 词义猜测题。drench意为“弄湿”，从上句中的played with the seawater中也可推断出词义。‎ ‎23. C 细节理解题。从第一段第三句可以看出。‎ ‎24. B 推理判断题。从第三段中可以看出。从out of tune, boos, dismal, crying 等词中也可看出。‎ ‎25.

Night came before they had seen very much. But in the morning they saw an island where there had been no island before. ‎ It was a very hot island, with smoke, steam, and fire. ‎ ‎ Actually, the island was the top of a mountain that had been growing up from the floor of the ocean and had poked through the water into the air. ‎ How does a mountain grow? ‎ If the mountain is a volcano, it is easy to see how it grows. A volcano starts from a hole in the ground from which hot rock and smoke and steam come out. Far, far under the ground it is so hot that rock melts. This hot melted rock, or lava, is sometimes pushed out of the earth through a hole or a crack in the ground. The steam inside the earth pushes the ‎ rock out. ‎ ‎ As more and more rock comes out, it makes a pile that becomes a mountain. Sometimes the rock flows out like hot mush. Sometimes it is shot out in big chunks of hard rock. The more stuff that comes out, the higher the mountain grows. ‎ If the mountain is growing under the ocean, it becomes an island when it reaches the top of the water. The little island that the men saw from the ship started this way. So did the big Hawaiian Islands and the enormous island of Iceland.‎ Not many years ago in Mexico, a little boy and his father discovered a volcano growing in a cornfield. Smoke puffed up, and rock started popping up out of a crack that opened in the ground. ‎ The boy thought the cornfield was throwing rocks at him! He picked one up. It was hot. He dropped it and ran away frightened. Smoke and rock continued to come from the crack in the ground. ‎ A new volcano was being born. ‎ The volcano in the cornfield grew until it was bigger than the cornfield! Black smoke puffed out. Hot ashes fell like black snowflakes. Hot rock and fire and lava shot out. People called the volcano the Little Monster because it grew so fast. Scientists came from all over the world to study it and watch it grow. It is not often that people get a chance to watch a volcano from the very beginning.‎ ‎21. The underlined word “lava” means .‎ ‎ A. volcano B. water C. melted rock D. land ‎22. pushes the rock out?‎ ‎ A. The hot melted rock B. The earthquake ‎ C. The smoke D. The steam inside the earth ‎23. Which one of the following is different from the other three?‎ ‎ A. the Himalayas B. the little island ‎ C. the big Hawaiian Islands D. the enormous island of Iceland ‎24. Which statement is not right according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Scientists from every part of the world came to study the new volcano and watch it grow.‎ ‎ B. It is often that people get a chance to watch a volcano from the very beginning.‎ ‎ C. Hot ashes fell like black snowflakes.‎ ‎ D. People called the volcano the Little Monster because it grew so fast.‎ ‎25. A volcano grows up from .‎ ‎ A. the floor of the ocean B. the land ‎ C. both A and B D. neither A nor B 参考答案：‎ ‎21. C 词义猜测题。从该词所在的句子中可以看出。‎ ‎22. D 细节理解题。从第五段最后一句可以看出。‎ ‎23. A 细节理解题。从第七段中可以看出，B,C,D三项均为海水中冒出的火山所 形成。‎ ‎24. B 细节理解题。从最后一段可以看出，B项中少了一个not.‎ ‎25. C 推理判断题。从文中所举例子可以看出，火山来自前两项。‎
