2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解专练（1）写人记事（阅读理解）由 (xx成都七中高三模拟)改编It had been a very disheartening day.The doctors had given us the worst of news.Our daughter,who had just pleted her first brain surgery to remove a tumor (肿瘤) and was going through radiation treatment,was now officially given a two percent chance of survival as this type of cancer had no cure.My wife and I decided to take our daughter to lunch before continuing our afternoon conversation.We went to a local restaurant where we sat in silence waiting for the waitress.I noticed a very elderly couple sitting a few feet away,who were also in silence and did not say a word.I couldnt help but wonder what challenges they had faced in their life and if they ever faced such terrible news about a child of theirs.We eventually ordered our lunch and we ate what we could still sitting in silence.At some point I became intrigued by the old couple.I thought to myself that they hadnt yet spoken to each other and I wondered if it was the peace they were enjoying or the food or maybe both.However,at some point I lost interest and put my focus back on my lunch.Molly was still talking away and enjoying her meal.Her mom and I both listened and tried to be happy in her presence but it wasnt going very well.All of a sudden I saw a hand e out of nowhere.It was huge and I could tell that it had been afflicted with arthritis (关节炎).I couldnt take my eyes off that hand.It landed on my daughters tiny six-year-old hand and as it did it I looked up; it was the old woman who had been sitting with the old man in silence eating their lunch.I looked into her eyes and she spoke,but not to me.She looked at my daughter and simply whispered,“If I could do more for you I would” and then she smiled and moved away to join her husband,who had moved towards the door.“Look,a whole dollar,” Molly spoke with excitement as she discovered a crumpled one dollar bill left behind by the old lady.I looked up to thank her,but she was gone.I sat stunned,not sure what had just happened and then I looked over at my wife.Almost in unison,we broke out into a smile.The sadness of the day had been wiped out by the crippled hand and generous touch of the old lady.The dollar,although exciting to Molly,was not what made us smile; it was the offer from the old lady,who felt our suffering.The crippled hand symbolized a healing touch and made us realize that we did not have to fight this battle alone.1.The author was ,when he first caught sight of the old couple in the restaurant.A.curiousB.confusedC.upsetD.indifferent2.By saying “If I could do more for you I would”,the old woman meant .A.she had the ability to cure the disease of MollyB.she had the responsibility for the safety of MollyC.she was an old friend of the author and could lend some money to themD.she would like to help Molly as much as possible3.What can we infer from the passage?()A.The author and his wife were not satisfied with the food in the restaurant.B.The old couple had once gone through the same trouble as the author did.C.The one dollar bill made the author feel touched by the warmth from others.D.The old woman sympathized with Molly because she suffered from serious arthritis herself.4.What would be the best title of the text?()A.A Girl with CancerB.A Touch of HeavenC.A Crippled HandD.A Kind-hearted Couple语篇解读:女儿身患重病,一家人心情沮丧,在一次偶然吃饭的时候邂逅了一对老夫妇,老太太的举动温暖了全家人的心。答案及剖析:1.A推理判断题。由第二段的I couldnt help but wonder what challenges they had faced in their life and if they ever faced such terrible news about a child of theirs.可知,作者对那对老夫妻产生了好奇,故选A项。2.D句意猜测题。由老太太说的话和下文她给作者女儿的一美元钱可知,老太太愿意为小女孩做力所能及的事情,故选D项。3.C推理判断题。由文章最后一句话The crippled hand symbolized a healing touch and made us realize that we did not have to fight this battle alone.可知,作者从老太太的举动感觉到来自他人的关心和温暖,故选C项。其他三项的叙述与文章内容不符。4.B主旨大意题。本文通过讲述自己家庭的不幸及与那对老人的邂逅,告诉大家在他们孤独无助的时候,来自陌生人的关心和同情深深触动了他们的心,故B项作为标题最合适。【疑难词汇解读】disheartening adj.令人沮丧的The news he told me was a little disheartening.他告诉我的那个坏消息有点令人沮丧。【长难句子分析】 我们的女儿刚刚做完摘除脑瘤的首次脑部手术,正在接受放射性治疗。由于这种癌症无法治愈,她只有2%活下来的机会。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。【xx界广东省揭阳市二模】 The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise. “At 14, he has acplished something many adults cant achieve,” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice-published author.” But Bens two “Velvet Black” books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts（手稿）by an eagle eyed publisher. They were self-published, at the cost of $400 by Bens parents.Over the past five years, print-on-demand technology and a growing number of self publishing panies whose books can be sold online have inspired writers of all ages to avoid the traditional gatekeeping system for determining who could call himself a “published author.”The mothers and fathers who foot the bill say they are simply trying to encourage their children, in the same way that other parents buy equipment for a promising baseball player. But others see self-publishing as a lost opportunity to teach children about hardship and perseverance. Mr. Robbins, a critic, thinks it is wonderful to start writing at a young age, but worries self-publishing sends the wrong message. “There are no prodigies(神童) in literature,” he said. “Literature requires experience, in a way that mathematics and music do not.” Alan Rinzler, a publishing industry veteran, suggested parents hire a professional editor like him to work with their child to tear a manuscript apart and help make a better. Bens father, Ken, said Bens ambitions “werent to knock Harry Potter off the list,” but “to get that good feeling inside that youve done something.”Ajla Dizdarevic, 12, who has self-published two books of poetry, has been on television and in local newspapers. “Being a published author,” she said, “was always a dream of mine.” Her new dream: three books by age 15.36. Which of the following is true of Ben?A. He has achieved something unusual for his age.B. His self-published books were well received.C. His manuscripts were favored by the publisher.D. He was thought little of by the public media.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据细节理解题。根据At 14, he has acplished something many adults cant achieve, 14岁时,他已经完成了一些许多成年人不能实现,的目标，故选A。37.

It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂), but is close to it. All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high officesjust about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed. There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing”“soft-soaping” or “buttering-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praisetelling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is. Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it. We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves. Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless might. He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop ing in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.41. Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “apple-polishing”?A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.B. An employee tells her boss how good he is at management.C. A knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.D. A teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praisetelling him how good he looks夸奖别人的长相是多么地好，是其中的阿谀奉承之一，符合原文；故选D。42. What does the writer want to prove with Cromwells example?A. Everybody can be an apple-polisher.B. Cromwell was not a good apple-polisher.C. George Fox and his party were not apple-polishers.D. There are people who dont like being apple-polished.【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high officesjust about everybody.所有的人都有可能是拍马屁的人，紧接着短文就以Cromwell为例来论证这个观点，故选A。43. Which of the following statements about flattery is true according to the author?A. Too much flattery can carry us away.B. Flattery is too empty to do people any good.C. Flattery can get you nothing but excessive(过度的) pride.D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据There are other phrases meaning the same thing as apple-polishing”“soft-soaping” or “buttering-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, 奉承是一个讨好人的方法之一，故选D。44.

Because he wanted them to realize how wise he was.D. Because he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣).因为国王不喜欢被他的朝臣过度地奉承，故选B。45.

And, like Truss author of Eats, shoots & Leaves I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.Now, Truss and I disagree on what it means to have “zero tolerance”. She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning, hacked (砍) up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”, while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.Everyone who applies for a position at either of my panies, iFixit or Dozuki, t
