‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之三 ‎[一]‎ Alex Elman runs a big business — something difficult to imagine after she lost her sight in her twenties. But Elman says that losing her sight helped her focus on finding success.‎ Elman’s father planted a hillside vineyard in western Massachusetts in 1981. It’s where Elman fled during the darkest period of her life. When she was 27 years old, she went blind due to complications from juvenile diabetes (糖尿病) 17 years ago. She recalled, “I hid in my home. I hid in the place. For me, that was the safest place in the world.”‎ Elman is now the founder of Alex Elman Wines, a growing portfolio (系列产品) of organic wines from all around the world: Chianti from Italy, Torrontes from Argentina. Elman doesn’t work alone. Her assistant, a guide dog named Hanley, is something of a wine snob, and quite a beggar. Hanley travels to all of the wineries that Elman does, from South America to Europe.‎ At first, Elman resisted the idea of a guide-dog. Now it’s hard to imagine her life, or her business, without him. She said. “When someone tells me something is organic and I don’t really believe it because I taste something funny on it, I’ll put it in front of his face and if he likes the wine, he’ll go to sniff it. If it’s not right, he’ll turn his head away. He gets in the dirt with me. He scratches around. He makes sure that we see earthworms and butterflies. That’s how we know that the soil is actually organic, and that there are no chemicals.”‎ Elman told CBS News she believes the loss of her vision was a gift. She said, “It allowed me to pay attention to what I thought was important and also to be able to teach people that the broken hang nail is not a big deal, you know what I mean? Don’t sweat the small stuff. Don’t sweat the big stuff either.”‎ ‎1. Elman hid herself in her father’s vineyard probably because she ________.‎ A. suffered from juvenile diabetes B. was extremely painful for her blindness C. would like to help her father with the work D. expected to recover her sight sooner or later ‎2. The underlined phrase “the broken hang nail” (in Paragraph 5) probably refers to _____.‎ A. a nail which is of no use B. a disadvantage you have in your life C. a person who is hard to deal with D. a task that is not easy to accomplish ‎3. This passage is mainly to tell us that _________.‎ A. Alex Elman leads a miserable life B. Hanley brings Alex Elman much fun C. Alex Elman gets along well with her pet D. a blind woman tastes success in wine business ‎【答案】1. B 2. B 3. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了盲人亚历克斯·艾尔曼创立了酒企业的事迹。埃尔曼在27岁的时候失明，但是她并没有消极对待人生，在导盲犬的帮助下，她成功的创立了自己的公司，有了自己的品牌。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据文中第二段可知，当她失明后，她把自己藏在了父亲的葡萄酒园里，是因为她当时内心很痛苦，故B选项正确。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。由画线部分前面提到作者认为失明对她来说是一份礼物而不是灾难，因为她懂得了什么是重要的，这里作者想告诉人们生活中的困难并没有什么了不起，所以破碎的钉子指的是生活中的困难。故B选项正确。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了一个盲人女人成功的创建了她自己的酒企业。D选项正确。‎ ‎[二]‎ Everyone needs to be safe, loved and to have a sense of belonging. These are inborn and natural basic needs. In an effort to have these needs satisfied, many of us tend to please others. And it works for a while. We find that we experience less conflict with others, but the conflict within ourselves grows. Saying "no" produces feeling of guilt and saying "yes" brings anger.‎ My father was in the military, so we moved frequently. Being shy, I didn't make friends. What's more, I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were very important. In our household a "C" was unacceptable, a "B" should have been an "A" and an "A" meant the lesson was too easy. I was too skinny, my sister was too fat and my brother's lips and ears were too big for his tiny head.‎ To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It's a long process, one in which I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got married. The very first thing we did to end the cycle of catering to others was develop our own identity as individuals and then as a couple. And then we developed a strong set of core（核心）values and a vision for our future. The third and one of the most valuable things we did during this process was develop our own personal influence on others and we valued deeply the opinions of the wiser and more successful people around us.‎ Besides, we should understand that sometimes helping people actually hurts them. Struggle is necessary to success. Struggle strengthens character, making people determined. So sometimes allowing people to ‎ struggle is the best thing you can do for them.‎ ‎12. How are we likely to feel when pleasing others?‎ A. Satisfied B. Angry.‎ C. Happy D. Guilty ‎13. What can we infer from the author's experience as a child?‎ A. He grew up doing a lot of housework.‎ B. It was hard for him to adjust to the moving life.‎ C. He realized the value of opinions from others.‎ D. His parents had great expectations of the children.‎ ‎14. What is the third paragraph mainly about?‎ A. What steps the author took to go on pleasing others.‎ B. How the author stepped out of the cycle of pleasing others.‎ C. Why the author further developed his values and character.‎ D. When the author turned to others for their valuable opinions.‎ ‎15. What does the author suggest doing?‎ A. Helping others without delay.‎ B. Refusing to help others.‎ C. Thinking twice before offering help.‎ D. Leaving someone alone in trouble.‎ ‎【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C ‎【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者对于迎合他人这种态度的转变过程。不迎合他人，会使自己有负罪感，但迎合他人，又会让自己生气。作者最后指出，有时候帮助他人，反而会伤害到他人，这时不妨给他人些空间，让他们自己经历挣扎。‎ ‎12. 细节理解题。根据文中第一段的"Saying "no" produces feeling of guilt and saying "yes" brings anger."可知，迎合他人会带来愤怒。故B正确。‎ ‎13. 推理判断题。根据文中的"I grew up in a household where grades, image and how others saw our family were very important"可知，作者的父母对他们的孩子抱有很高的期望。故D正确。‎ ‎14. 总结概括题。根据第三段"To stop pleasing others is easier said than done. It's a long process, one in which I am consistently working to perfect. The turning point for me came shortly after I got married."可知，作者讲述的是如何停止去迎合他人。故B正确。‎ ‎15. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"So sometimes allowing people to struggle is the best thing you can do for them."可知，有时候，最好的方法就是让他们自己挣扎，而不是提供给他们帮助。故C正确。‎ ‎[三]‎ ‎“You’ll be blind by the time you’re twentyfive，” a doctor at Children’s Hospital predicted. “Your blood sugars are much too high.” It consumed me. No matter where I was or what I was doing, it was overhead like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world.‎ I liked painting. Losing myself in painting filled me with peace. Painting provided me with the only place where I could escape from those threatening words.‎ When I was twentyone, my right eye went blind. Precisely three months after my twentyfifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident. For the next twenty years, vision came and went. I went through many eye operations in an attempt to keep my vision. But after one final operation, I lost the battle and all remaining vision. And I buried all dreams of painting.‎ Desperate, I enrolled in (注册) a sixteenweek program for the blind and visually impaired (损伤的)．I learned personal adjustment and the use of a computer with adaptive software. A whole new world opened up to me through this program.‎ ‎“Jaws and WindowEyes are leading software for the blind，” my instructor told me. “You can use the Internet, Email and Microsoft with all its tools and features.” It’s amazing! Hope went up for the ‎ first time in years. “By learning how to use hot keys to control the mouse, you can use Microsoft Access, Excel and Powerpoint，” my instructor added.‎ For the next several years, I learned that when one door closes, another door opens. There are plenty of choices available for the blind and visually impaired through the gift of technology. Not only do I have a speaking computer, but I have a speaking watch, alarm clock, and calculator.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们：面对人生困境时不要悲伤，天无绝人之路，我们一定会找到新的出路。‎ ‎★9.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A．The right opportunity.‎ B．The children’s hospital. ‎ C．Consuming too much sugar.‎ D．Losing my sight in the future.‎ 解析：选D　代词指代题。结合画线词前面医生的话“You’ll be blind”和画线词后面的“like a dark cloud, waiting for just the right opportunity to break open and destroy my world”可以推知，it指代医生所说的“你会失明”。‎ ‎10．What happened when the author was 25 years old?‎ A．He gave up painting.‎ B．He went blind completely.‎ C．He injured one of his eyes.‎ D．He picked up a new hobby.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Precisely three months after my twentyfifth birthday, I had a massive hemorrhage (大出血) in my left eye because of an accident.”可知，25岁时，作者的左眼在一场事故中受伤大出血。‎ ‎11．What brought a turning point to the author?‎ A．A special course.‎ B．A meaningful event.‎ C．An inspiring speech.‎ D．An important interview.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I enrolled in (注册) a sixteenweek program ...A whole new world opened up to me through this program.”可知，作者在彻底丧失视力之后，参加了一个针对视力障碍者的课程，这个课程给作者开辟了一个全新的世界。‎ ‎12．What does the author intend to tell us?‎ A．No pains, no gains.‎ B．Every man has his price.‎ C．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.‎ D．Be optimistic in the face of life’s difficulties.‎ 解析：选D　写作意图题。根据作者的经历和最后一段中的“when one door closes, another door opens”可知，作者想通过这篇文章告诉大家，一定要乐观面对困境。‎ ‎[四]‎ 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 on 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 then 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 them or hearing a beelike 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 raspberry 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 annihilate bad smells, but it was powered by rotten eggs.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者在睡觉的时候，被一阵又一阵的噪声吵醒，原来是隔壁邻居查利在研制一种治疗失眠的机器，他没有意识到已经是凌晨了。‎ ‎12．What made the author sleepy again?‎ A．Her neighbor’s silence.‎ B．The ticking sound.‎ C．The coming of the bees.‎ D．The smell of the rotten eggs.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Tick! Tick! Tick! It reminded me of my first wristwatch.Its regular pace had always helped me fall asleep.”可知，作者的第一块腕表有规律的嘀嗒声总是帮助作者入睡，故选B。‎ ‎13．What was Charlie doing?‎ A．He was fixing a broken clock.‎ B．He was inventing a wristwatch.‎ C．He was working with the bees.‎ D．He was making a new machine.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I’m busy working on a machine that can cure insomnia (失眠)．”可知，答案选D。‎ ‎14．How did Charlie feel when he knew the time?‎ A．Disappointed. B．Scared.‎ C．Surprised. D．Annoyed.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Oh, my! I didn’t realize it was that late.”可知，查利一直在忙于自己的发明，根本就不知道时间已经那么晚了，所以当作者让他看时间的时候，他很吃惊。故选C。‎ ‎★15.What does the underlined word “annihilate” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A．Get rid of. B．Make use of.‎ C．Give off. D．Tell apart.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。结合画线单词后面的bad smells，以及连词but后面的分句“it was powered by rotten eggs” (原本难闻的气味被腐烂的鸡蛋搞得更难闻了)可以推断，画线单词的意思是“消灭”，故选A。‎ ‎[五]‎ Krubera Cave in the western Caucasus Mountains is the deepest known cave in the world. An international team prepared to descend into Krubera. The team members hoped to be the first cavers to reach a depth of 2,000 meters, brought five tons of equipment and other necessities with them, and established camps at key locations along the route. They worked for up to 20 hours each day.‎ In the third week, progress was blocked at 1,775 meters by a sump — a cave passage filled with water that gives cavers few options. There are basically three techniques available: dive through it, empty it, or go around it. Gennadiy Samokhin dove to the bottom but was disappointed. “No chance to get through，” he said. Searching for a way around the sump, Garcia Dils risked entering a waterfall of near freezing water and discovered that his dry suit had holes in it. “The water was so cold that I lost the feeling in my fingers，” he said later. He, too, was unsuccessful.‎ Finally, two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage they called the Way to the Dream. The team was exhilarated. The passage led to yet another sump at 1,840 meters. After a short test dive, Samokhin emerged, smiling. There was a promising passage, he reported. But it would have to wait. After nearly four weeks, with supplies running low, the team had run out of time and would have to return to the surface.‎ Four weeks later, a team of nine Ukrainian cavers led by Yuri Kasjan went back to Krubera. Following the path opened by the previous team, they reached the sump at 1,840 meters relatively quickly. After much searching, a pit (坑), later named the Millennium Pit, was discovered that allowed them to pass the 2,000 meter depth. More pits and passages led them to 2,080 meters, a spot they named Game Over. But the caving game is never over. Deeper caves will probably continue to be discovered and call out to be explored.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了探洞穴者对世界上目前已知的最深的洞穴——库鲁伯亚拉洞穴进行探索的过程。‎ ‎13．Why did the team return to the surface after nearly four weeks?‎ A．They were lacking in supplies.‎ B．They had achieved their goal.‎ C．They couldn’t go through the sump.‎ D．They gave their task to Yuri Kasjan’s team.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After nearly four weeks, with supplies running low, the team had run out of time and would have to return to the surface.”可知，因为物资逐渐短缺，探洞穴者被迫返回地面。‎ ‎★14.What does the underlined word “exhilarated” probably mean?‎ A．Cheerful.　　　　　　 B．Powerful.‎ C．Confused. D．Exhausted.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage they called the Way to the Dream”可知，两名队员找到了通过水坑的通道，所以他们应该很高兴，故选A项。‎ ‎15．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?‎ A．Game Over was discovered at 2,000 meters.‎ B．The Way to the Dream begins at 1,840 meters.‎ C．The Millennium Pit passed the 2,080 meters depth.‎ D．Samokhin’s teammates found a way around a sump at 1,775 meters.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“progress was blocked at 1,775 meters by a sump”以及第三段中的“two teammates found a way around the sump through a tight passage”可知，Samokhin在1 ‎775米处找到了绕过水坑的通道。‎ ‎16．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．The features of Krubera Cave.‎ B．Famous caves around the world.‎ C．A journey of exploring Krubera Cave.‎ D．The importance of exploring Krubera Cave.‎ 解析：选C　主旨大意题。本文讲述了探洞穴者对世界上目前已知的最深的洞穴——库鲁伯亚拉洞穴进行探索的过程，故选C项。‎ ‎[六]‎ While still a young child, Morales Casanova saw neighborhood children harm local trees and even their own pets. So she formed a group called Humanity United to Nature in Harmony for Beauty, Welfare, and Goodness to address the problem. Through small group meetings, she taught friends to grow plants and care for pets, inspiring a new respect for nature.‎ A few years later, at age 13, she sent the president a proposal (提议) for creating a protected area to train children about environmental issues. He awarded her the National Youth Award for Environmental Protection.‎ That backing helped her group to expand its grassroots youth conservation projects through her home state. In 2007 the state capital donated land that let her realize a longheld dream of opening an ‎ environmental education park.‎ Opened in 2013, Ceiba Pentandra Park provides a free, interactive (互动的) learning experience for children and teachers on topics ranging from climate change to wildlife protection and the effects of pollution. The park’s unusual aspect is its teachers: other children. “I think children have great potential to be leaders，” Morales Casanova says.‎ Park students who show leadership ability are trained to be educators. They learn to speak in front of groups, plan activities, and do fundraising for projects that they design and manage themselves.‎ ‎“When kids see other kids making a real difference, it gives them confidence that they can do it, too，” Morales Casanova says. “The children we work with are growing up with new values ...They are already taking action to change not only their own lifestyles, but also the minds of families and teachers.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了Morales Casanova在推动环保事业方面所做出的贡献。她认为对孩子们进行环保教育是解决环境问题的一个非常有效的方法，她曾就此给墨西哥总统提议，并得到了认可。‎ ‎★9.Which can best replace the underlined word “backing” in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Approval. B．Protection.‎ C．Request. D．Opportunity.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。第二段中提到Morales Casanova向总统提议建一个保护区对孩子们进行环保教育，总统授予了她一个奖项。画线词后面的内容是说她之前创立的组织得到了扩展，并在她所在州的帮助下实现了自己成立环保教育公园的梦想，由此可以推测，此处的backing指的是总统对她所从事的事业的认可。‎ ‎10．What is special about Ceiba Pentandra Park?‎ A．It has children educators.‎ B．It trains teachers for schools.‎ C．It focuses on reducing pollution.‎ D．It involves local government leaders.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The park’s unusual aspect is its teachers: other children.”，再结合第五段中的“Park students who show leadership ability are trained to be educators.”可知，Morales Casanova认为孩子们有当领导者的潜力，所以她们选择有这方面潜力的孩子们，并将他们培养成公园的老师。这正是这个公园与众不同的地方，故选A项。‎ ‎11．What does Morales Casanova stress in solving environment problems?‎ A．Education. B．Donation.‎ C．Experience. D．Confidence.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“taught friends to ...”，第二段中的“train children ...”，第三段中的“an environmental education park”和第四段中的“its teachers”等不难看出，Morales Casanova认为对孩子们进行环保教育是解决环境问题的一个非常有效的方法。‎ ‎12．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．Respect for Nature B．New Values in Life C．Building Leadership Skills in Students D．Saving Environment Through Children 解析：选D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Morales Casanova在推动环保事业方面所做出的贡献，她主要是通过对孩子们进行环保教育来提高他们的环保意识，然后通过他们的改变来影响周围的人，从而使人们从身边的点点滴滴做起，为环保事业尽自己的一份力。故D项作标题最恰当。‎ ‎[七]‎ Even for a certified teacher with a degree and teaching certificate from Florida, a certain embarrassment exists. The two words “English teacher” don’t clearly show who I am.‎ Let me explain: When I go back to the US, I meet all my old friends. Some are stressed, exhausted and generally unhappy. They are stuck in jobs ‎ they don’t love that they do only to pay the bills. Even the ones making good money don’t even have the time to spend it and enjoy themselves. If I were in the US and I were working as a teacher, an accountant, a lawyer or so on, then that would be my job more or less for the next 30 to 40 years. I might have other talents, but I would be limited in being able to explore them.‎ In China the system is fluid for everyone: Chinese and expats (侨民)．I know many friends, both Chinese and expats, who changed careers because they wanted something new and it didn’t require going back to university for four more years. All it required was motivation and a calculated risk. One of the best things about living in China for me is that I can explore different career choices and actually find one that I truly love. Let’s face that people change over the years: Your likes, your abilities and even the things that make you happy are constantly changing. Why shouldn’t your jobs and the opportunities also change with you?‎ When people ask me if I love my job, my answer is “YES.” In China I have had many jobs: an actor, a model, a salesman and a teacher at various stages during my seven years here. And no one told me “You can’t do that.” There was no selflimiting. In China, if you have the motivation to work hard and the drive to succeed then opportunities present themselves around every corner.‎ 语篇解读：作者是个美国人，他以自己的亲身经历说明人们在中国可从事多种职业，不像在美国那样僵化。‎ ‎5．Why the term “English teacher” couldn’t explain the author’s role in China clearly?‎ A．Because he has taken many different jobs in China.‎ B．Because he has no choice but to be an English teacher.‎ C．Because the purpose of his teaching is to make good money.‎ D．Because there’re too many jobs for him to choose from.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，作者在中国生活的7年时间里，从事了多种职业，故第一段中所说的“英语教师”这个词并不能清楚地说明其在中国的角色。‎ ‎6．Why are some of the author’s old friends generally unhappy?‎ A．Because they have no chance to work in China as teachers.‎ B．Because it’s even harder for them to earn money in the US now.‎ C．Because they have no ability to explore their other talents.‎ D．Because they can’t get away from the work they don’t enjoy.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“They are stuck in ...enjoy themselves.”可知，作者美国的一些朋友不开心是因为他们被困在他们不喜欢的职业中，即使那些赚了钱的人也没有时间去消费，即他们都无法摆脱他们不喜欢的工作，故选D。‎ ‎★7.What does the underlined word “fluid” in Paragraph 3 mean?‎ A．Strict. B．Fixed.‎ C．Changeable. D．Exciting.‎ 解析：选C　词义猜测题。根据该句后面所列举的事例可知，人们在中国可以很容易地改变职业，故中国的工作体制不是僵化的，而是可变的(changeable)。‎ ‎8．What does the author think of China?‎ A．A country without motivation.‎ B．A land of opportunities.‎ C．A nation full of foreigners.‎ D．A place short of jobs.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。结合全文可知，作者认为人们在中国可从事多种职业，即中国是一个充满机会的国度，故选B。‎ ‎[八]‎ In my first college poetry class we were supposed to write poems. My efforts satisfied neither me nor the professor. I recall one poem about the rushing sounds of cars in rain.‎ After the last term, I picked up my work at the professor’‎ s office and asked, my knees shaking, “Do I have any talent？” I’d earned a B — even though I did every task and missed no classes. He was a kind person. “Probably not，” he said softly, looking down. “Thank you.” I said, and walked back to my dorm. I felt like a grafted (嫁接的) apple tree: part of me disappointed; another part defiant.‎ The defiant part led me to another poetry class the following year. This time, students drove the discussion and we read contemporary poems. I earned an “A”．Many years later, the professor told me that every student who did the work earned an “A”．His approach was as encouraging as the first instructor’s was discouraging, but from that discouragement, I learned that teachers don’t hold the keys to their students’ talent.‎ I believe that every human being is born with talent for making art: visual, literary or musical.Some lucky souls are born with many talents. But no one can predict if or when talent might develop into art that others recognize as good. Artists must have enough ego (自我) to make art and enough modesty to improve it. They must be open to change. They must be their own toughest critics (批评者)，and be able to absorb the criticism.‎ I’ve been teaching creative writing for more than 30 years now. Students sometimes ask me, “Do I have talent？” I tell them my story, and I repeated Joyce Carol Oates’ words, “There is only the work.” And then I say, “Of course you have talent, but you must not need praise. Make art regardless of whether anyone approves — or even notices.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者参加了诗歌班，老师却认为作者没有天赋，但作者并没有气馁，而是继续努力，最终成为一名创意写作老师。‎ ‎★1.What does the underlined word “defiant” mean in Paragraph 2?‎ A．Showing sorrow.　　 B．Showing satisfaction.‎ C．Showing desperation. D．Showing disagreement.‎ 解析：选D　词义猜测题。从画线部分前面的内容“I felt like a grafted ‎ (嫁接的) apple tree: part of me disappointed”可知，作者认为自己就像一棵嫁接的苹果树，一半失望的，一半“反抗”的。第三段开头的“The defiant part led me to another poetry class the following year.”也有提示，正因为作者不服气，所以她去了另一个诗歌班。‎ ‎2．What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Discouragement pushes artists to improve.‎ B．Hard work leads artists to success.‎ C．A good artist needs more than talent.‎ D．Sense your value and keep modest.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，作者告诉我们要有自我，但是同时也要谦卑地接受别人的批评以求进步。‎ ‎3．What is the author’s suggestion to her students?‎ A．Spare no effort to find your special talent.‎ B．Try your best to prove your talent to others.‎ C．Practise more to improve your creative writing.‎ D．Develop your talent even if others disapprove.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。从最后一段的内容可知，作者建议学生要刻苦努力，每个人都有天赋，不必奢求别人的表扬和认可。‎ ‎4．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A．Everyone has talent B．What makes a good teacher?‎ C．No one can predict your future D．Learn to accept others’ criticism 解析：选A　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，作者通过自己的故事告诉我们：每一个人都有天赋，一定要有自己的坚持和努力，为了进步可以接受他人批评但是不能因为别人不认可而让自己止步。‎ ‎[九]‎ Many people in high school cannot wait to go to college and leave their hometowns behind. Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the ‎ decisions involved in choosing a college.‎ One of the first considerations may be financial. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.‎ Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college.‎ School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teachers and avoid feeling like just a number, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a "people person" and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting.‎ Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decision-making process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.‎ Finally, one must take into consideration the colleges to which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average school for an above-average student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.‎ ‎5. What's the main idea of the text?‎ A. Procedures of choosing a college.‎ B. Difficulties in attending a school.‎ C. Pros and cons of going to college.‎ D. Considerations in choosing a college.‎ ‎6. We can infer from the passage that .‎ A. an Ivy League school is probably a state college B. a small college may bring you a sense of emptiness C. gifted students are likely to choose private colleges D. an average school isn't suitable for an average student ‎7. A "people person" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to .‎ A. a person who tends to be alone B. a person who is good at sociality C. a person who is afraid of teachers D. a person who is accustomed to a noisy atmosphere ‎8.
