‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类10篇专题训练之二十二 ‎[一]‎ In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.‎ From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.‎ Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.‎ You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.‎ ‎33 We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.‎ A had land of their own B paid to use hawthorn ‎ trees every year C used hedging fields D often suffered from financial loss ‎34 Which of the following is wise?‎ A A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quiet B Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dry C Put off gathering hay when the sun is shining D Gather hay as it is rainy ‎35 If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.‎ A become a wise farmer B hedge his bet C gather his hay D make hay while the sun shines 参考答案：33—35. CAD ‎[二]‎ Once upon a time, there lived a rich man. He had a servant (仆人). He and the servant loved wine and good food very much. Each time the rich man left his home, the servant would drink the wine and eat up all the nice food in the house. The rich man knew what his servant did, but he had never caught his servant doing that. 　　One morning, when he left home, he said to the servant, “Here are two bottles of poison (毒药) and some nice food in the house. You must take of them.” With these words, he went out. 　　But the servant knew that the rich man had said was untrue. After the rich man was away from his home, he enjoyed a nice meal. Because he drank too much, he was drunk and fell to the ground. When the rich man came back, he couldn’t find his food and his wine. He became very angry. He woke the servant up. But the servant told his story very well. He said :“a cat had eaten up everything. I was afraid to be punished（惩罚）, so I drank the poison to kill myself.”‎ ‎ 29.In fact, it was _______ that drank the wine and ate up all the nice food. 　　A. the cat 　　 　　B. himself 　　　 C. nobody 　　　　D. the servant 30.The rich told the servant that there was poison in the two bottles, because ________. 　　A. there was in fact poison in the bottles ‎ B. did not want the servant to drink his wine 　　C. he wanted to kill the cat 　　D. he wanted to kill the servant 31.From the story, we know that the servant is very _______. 　　A. lazy 　　 B. bad 　　 C. clever 　　 D. kind 参考答案：29—30. DBC ‎ ‎[三]‎ In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a “brain.” I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.‎ But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into office. He asked me to give a speech at gradation. I gaped(目瞪口呆地凝视)at him, my heart thumping. This was the reward for my hard work? I mumbled something and fled the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.‎ I finally agreed to a compromise. I would share the honor with five other students. I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech.‎ Graduation day soon arrived. I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the podium without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled ‎ a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I accomplished something I’d never dreamed of—I spoke in front of hundreds of people.‎ Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to participate in class at college, to give verbal reports, and to eventually break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation-or ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I dread. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.‎ ‎24. Why was the writer called a “brain”?‎ ‎ A. She was a bookworm all the time ‎ B. She was the head of her small group ‎ C.

She was far more enthusiastic than skilled, but apparently threw spark of superb talent.‎ Four years later, Swift has become a multi-awards winner, with the biggest selling albums. For her consummate performance, Taylor Swift was named Billboard magazine’s woman in 2011. She is the youngest artist to receive honors and several Billboard Music Award, among which Top Country Album for the five-time platinum（白金）selling Speak Now, her third album was released that year.‎ ‎“Taylor has shown the power of good songwriting with music of styles.” said Bill Werde, Billboard’s editorial director, “And at such a young age, Taylor has already made a major impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for promising artists and young woman everywhere.”‎ Swift is used to breaking chart records and winning honors since her career started. She followed that up in 2008 with Fearless, which established her as a skilled songwriter with several hits, including Love Story, You belong with me and White Horse.‎ Not surprisingly, the 6-time platinum Fearless is the most awarded album in country music history in the US and her overall worldwide sales now reach 20 million albums and 40 million songs downloads. Swift has spent the past year on the Speak Now World Tour in support of her third album, and now she’s getting ready to go further. ‎ According to a recent interview with The New Yorker magazine, Swift has so far written about 10 songs for a 2016 album. She said the new album is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.‎ ‎“They’re sad if I’m being honest.” Swift told The New Yorker.‎ ‎ “They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on. But more importantly, they are about achieving contentment. You’re not always going to be ridiculously happy as you grow up.”‎ ‎32.

One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.‎ As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry ＄l.7‎ ‎ billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.‎ However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.‎ Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.‎ In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.‎ I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.‎ ‎28. What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?‎ A. He was involved in a car crash. B. He was stuck in Iceland’s airport.‎ C. He witnessed a volcanic eruption. D. He was badly injured on a bike ride.‎ ‎29. Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?‎ A. Economy was cost globally by the eruption. ‎ B. Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily.‎ C. Most of the world’s planes were held up. ‎ D. The earth in Ireland was terribly polluted ‎30. Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?‎ A. It broke out in Iceland on April 14th as well.‎ B. It symbolized the accident that changed his life.‎ C. It told us to make the most of given situation. ‎ D. It encouraged him to know more about himself ‎31. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Escape from Volcanoes B. Inspiration from Disasters C. Love for Earth Science D. Attitude towards Nature 参考答案：28--31DACB ‎ ‎[六]‎ It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes .They recycle their garbage because the care about the environment .They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.‎ It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions (性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem , by observing our own behavior .We can be strangers to ourselves .If we knew our own minds, why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes .Actually , we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.‎ Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren't there before .Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which we fail to recognize .Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn't .Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us .We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result ‎ of some inner disposition.‎ Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people become what they do, though it may not be in compliance (符合) with their true desires .Therefore , we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”‎ ‎32．According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to___.‎ A．determine one's behavior B．reflect one's taste C．influence one's surroundings D．result from one's habits ‎33．Which of the following would Daryl Bem most probably agree with?__‎ A．The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.‎ B．A kind person will offer his seat to the old.‎ C．One recycles plastics to protect the environment.‎ D．One buys latte out of true love of coffee.‎ ‎34．What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?___‎ A．We fail to realize our inner dispositions.‎ B．We can be influenced by outside pressures.‎ C．Our behavior is the result of our true desires.‎ D．Our characters can shape our social relationships.‎ ‎35．What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?___‎ A．Personalities and attitudes.‎ B．Preferences and habits.‎ C．Behavior and personalities.‎ D．Attitudes and preferences.‎ ‎ 参考答案： 32-35 AABC ‎ 文章大意：本文为议论文，题材为社会生活类。作者对人的行为和性格之间的关系进行了探讨。最后用Kurt ‎ Vonnegut的一句话进行了总结：我们将自己伪装成什么，我们就是什么。所以，当我们伪装时，一定要谨慎呀！‎ ‎32解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，通常认为人们的行为方式取决于他们的性格和态度。那反过来说就是：一个人的性格和态度决定了他的行为方式。故选A。‎ ‎33解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知，正如社会心理学家Daryl Bem所说的，毋庸置疑，人的行为来自于我们的内在性情，但是在很多例子中我们是通过观察我们自己的行为来推断出我们是怎样的人的结论：四个选项中只有A项表示的是一种行为暗示出人的性格，而其他三个选项均不符合。‎ ‎34解析：推理判断题。画线的这一句是对上一句话的举例说明，画线处前面一句话是说：我们的行为经常受到我们周围小的压力的影响，这一点我们认识不到。B项与画线句意义一致，故选B。 ‎ ‎35解析：主旨大意题；从第一段第一句阐述大家通常认为行为和性格的关系，到第二段Daryl Bem提出通过一个人的行为也能看出他的性格，第三段提到我们的行为也受到周围压力的影响，第四段通过Kurt Vonnegut的一句话强调了两者之间的关系。所以本篇文章主要讲的是行为和性格，故选C。‎ ‎[七]‎ Some time ago, I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there were a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair. ‎ The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.‎ I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, but it’s nothing.”‎ Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited.‎ ‎ “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry; I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” “Your must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (五镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.‎ ‎28. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper ________.‎ A. changed his mind　　　　　　　 B. accepted the offer ‎ C. saw the writer’s purpose　　　　　D. decided to help the writer ‎29.

As we talked about what to do next, our daughters jumped in and told us exactly what they wanted to do. We agreed. ‎ As soon as we walked into the main area of Butterfly Museum, we saw thousands of beautiful butterflies. They all flew with their colorful wings. My girls were jumping up and down. And I knew we had made the right decision to come to the museum. They were having so much fun. ‎ ‎ I turned to our guide and asked curiously，“How long do butterflies live?”she said, “About ten days.”‎ ‎“What can butterflies do in ten days?”‎ The guide stopped, looked at me and said, “They make the world a more beautiful place.”‎ After we said goodbye, I couldn't stop thinking about what the guide had said. She was right. We all have something to offer the world. If we all spend time doing what we can do for others, we can make the world a better place. ‎ ‎21.

Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.‎ ‎　　Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.‎ ‎　　The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. "Maybe I could go as Superman," he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive ‎ costume(戏装),but finally she agreed.‎ ‎　　The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation. ‎ ‎　　The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr.Epstein puts it, "If you can dream it, you can do it."‎ ‎　　It doesn’t mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.‎ ‎26．What do we know about Tom?‎ A. He was seriously ill. B. He was a dishonest boy. ‎ C. He was crazy about magic. D. He was Dr. Epstein’s patient.‎ ‎27．What can be inferred about Tom’s mother?‎ A. She was a rich lady. B. She refused Tom’s request. ‎ C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero. D. She wanted to get Tom through the pain.‎ ‎28．When Tom went for the third operation, he 　　　　. ‎ A. pretended to be painful B. acted like a superhero ‎ C. appeared in poor spirits D. argued with his mother ‎29．In the last paragraph, you are advised 　　　　. ‎ A. to go through some difficult tests ‎ B. to wake up from your wild dreams ‎ C. to become a powerful person in your mind ‎ D. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews ‎30．What is the purpose of the passage?‎ A. To tell us an interesting story. B. To help us make right decisions. ‎ C. To advise us to care about children. ‎ D. To encourage us to use our imagination.‎ 参考答案：26-30 ADBCD ‎ ‎[十]‎ Janelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.‎ ‎　　　Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, she wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.‎ ‎　　So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.‎ ‎　　And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn. ‎ ‎　　We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own ‎ hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.‎ ‎　　“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.‎ ‎33．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.‎ ‎　　A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at work ‎　　B．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily work ‎ C．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearance D．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all ‎ ‎34．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?‎ ‎ A．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.‎ B．We are careful enough in daily life.‎ C．We all have done something creative.‎ ‎ D．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.‎ ‎35．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?‎ A．Be creative. B．Do things right.‎ ‎ C．Stick to old ways. D．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎33-35 CDB
