专题限时训练(二十八)故事型阅读理解(限时：25分钟) (一)with the tears streaming down her face, she put her two hands to her lips, and kissed them to him; then clasped(紧握) them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there.“you are not the jailers daughter？”she sighed, “no.”“who are you？”not yet trusting the tones of her voice, she sat down on the bench beside him.he drew back but she laid her hand upon his arm.a strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her.her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck.advancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at it.in the middle of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking.but not for long.releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder.after looking doubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it.he opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger.he took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it.“it is the same.how can it be! when was it! how was it！”as the concentrating expression returned to his forehead，he seemed to become conscious that it was in hers too.he turned her full to the light，and looked at her.“she had laid her head upon my shoulder，that night when i was summoned(传唤)outshe had a fear of my going，though i had noneand when i was brought to the north tower they found these upon my sleeve.you will leave me them? they can never help me to escape in the body，though they may in the spirit. those were the words i said.i remember them very well.”he formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it.but when he did find spoken words for it，they came to him coherently(连贯地)，though slowly.“how was this? was it you？”1the underlined word“it”in the passage refers to“_”aher hair bher handchis arm dhis shoulder2the passage is most probably taken from_.aa chant ba dramaca novel dan essay3from the passage，we can infer that_.athe lady was the jailers friendbthe man lived a peaceful lifecthey hadnt seen each other for yearsdthey made a happy conversation4the old man took the ladys hair into his hand again because_.athe hair reminded him of his daughterbhe found the hair of high qualitycthe lady had almost the same hair as he diddthe ladys hair worried him so much5the writer attracts the readers by_.adescribing the changes of the relationshipbgiving a vivid description of detailscusing funny and humorous languagedpresenting unpredictable consequence(二)a man sat at a metro station in washington dc. and started to play the violin; it was a cold january morning. he played six pieces for about 45 minutes. during that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.three minutes went by, and a middleaged man noticed there was musician playing. he slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.a minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the money box without stopping, and continued to walk.a few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. clearly he was late for work.the one who paid the most attention was a 3yearold boy. his mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. this action was repeated by several other children. all the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.in the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. about 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. he collected 32$. when he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. no one applauded, nor was there any recognition.no one knew this, but the violinist was joshua bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. he had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.two days before his playing in the subway, joshua bell sold out at a theatre in boston where the seats averaged 100$.this is a real story. joshua bells playing in the metro station was organized by the washington post as part of a social experiment.the outlines were in a common environment at an inappropriate hour. do we enjoy beauty? do we stop to appreciate it? do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?one of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: if we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?6few people stopped to listen to joshua bell playing because_.apeople were in a hurrybthey were not interested in musiccit was too cold in the subwaydthe performance was not good enough7when children stopped to look at the violinist, their parents _.awould give him some moneybwould stop to enjoy the musiccwould applaud for the performancedwould urge them to continue walking8joshua bell played in the metro station in order to _.amake more moneybpractise his skills in playing musiccmade an advertisement for his concertdfind out peoples reaction under such a circumstance9the purpose of the passage is to _.aset us to think about our lifebshow us how to play musicctell us the importance of musicdreport a subway performance(三)my father was 44 and knew he wasnt going to make it to 45. he wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.since the day i was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my heart. one part always stands out.“right now, you are pretending to be a time killer. but i know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“you will do something great.”he didnt know what that would be, and neither did i, but at times in my life when ive felt proud of myself, i remember his words and wish he were here so i could ask，“is this what you were talking about, dad? should i keep going？”a long way from 12 now, i realize he would have been proud when i made any progress. lately, though, ive come to believe hed want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in somebody else. its time to start writing my own letters to my children. our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. our kids dont hold back because theyre afraid to fail. theyre only afraid of failing us. they dont worry about being disappointed. their fearas mine was until my fathers letteris of being a disappointment.give your children permission to succeed. theyre waiting for you to believe in them. i always knew my parents loved me. but trust me. that belief will be more complete, that love will be more real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts，“dont worry; youll do something great.”not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.10we learn from the text that the author_.alost his father when he was youngbworked hard before he read his fathers lettercasked his father permission to believe in himselfdknew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do11what does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?achildren need their parents letters.bchildren are afraid to be disappointed.chis childrens fear of failure held them back.dhis fathers letter removed his fear of failing his parents.12which of the following is true of the author?ahe got no access to success.bhe wrote back to his father at 12.che was sure his parents loved him.dhe once asked his father about the letter.13the main purpose of the text is to _.adescribe childrens thinkingbanswer some questions children havecstress the importance of communicationdadvise parents to encourage their children专题限时训练(二十八)【故事型阅读理解】 (一)【文章大意】 这个片段选自a tale of two cities(双城记)的第六章。父亲和他的女儿见面了，多年的监狱生活使老人的大脑好像什么都想不起来了。他不知道她是谁，但是他却分明感受到了她对他的依恋和发自内心的爱，她的金发也让他有似曾相识的感觉。1b细节理解题。根据“releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder.”可知，it指代的是前面的内容，即她的手，故选b项。2c推理判断题。这是一段关于两人相见的主人公的内心和动作的细腻描写，故应该出自一部小说。故选c项。3c推理判断题。根据“it is the same.how can it be！when was it！how was it！”以及文中反复出现的类似描写可知，两人很久没见面了，如今相见让他感到难以置信，故选c。4a细节理解题。根据“he took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it.”可知，他把头发又一次抓起来是为了对比，因为他觉得这和他女儿的头发很相似。故选a项。5b写作手法题。文章运用了大量的细节描写，把主人公的动作和内心想法细腻地展现出来，故选b项。(二)【文章大意】 当人们处在匆忙之中时，有多少人会为美好的事物而驻足呢？在华盛顿的地铁站，一位男士演奏了45分钟的小提琴，因正值上班时间，几乎没有人停下脚步去欣赏这美妙的音乐，可是谁又知道，这位男士是著名的小提琴手joshua bell呢？6a细节理解题。根据文章第一段的“most of them on their way to work.”以及下文中出现的多个描述人们行为的词可以判断，因忙着去上班而很少人能停下来去欣赏美妙的音乐，故选a项。7d细节理解题。根据文章第五段的“this action was repeated by several other children.all
