记叙文阅读训练生活是什么①有个谜语:你对它笑,它就对你笑;你对它哭,它就对哭--这是什么?②人们都猜:这是镜子!我的朋友却不动声色地回了一句:这是生活。
③举座皆惊!他却来了句妙侃:“愁眉苦脸地看生活,生活肯定是愁眉不展;爽朗乐观地看生活,生活肯定阳光灿烂!”④果然有道理!⑤于是,我突地想起一个故事。
一次,穷困的法国作家拉伯雷想去巴黎,却偏偏一分钱也没有,就故意笑眯眯地当着警察的面拿出几张白纸,分别在上面写上“送给皇后的药”、“送给王子的药”、“送给公主的药”,然后在白纸里包了点红色粉末。
那警察见拉伯雷行为古怪,疑为刺客,便把他押到了巴黎,经审查排除了刺客的嫌疑,又只好把他放了--真是妙极,笑眯眯的拉伯雷一分钱没花,便平平安安地到了巴黎!⑥真佩服这位乐观豁达的拉伯雷,真佩服这种笑眯眯的人生态度!尤其有趣的是,笔者钻研法国文学时,居然找到了上述谜语的出处--就是拉伯雷说的:“生活是一面镜子,你对它笑,它就对你笑,你对它哭,它就对你哭。
”⑦不是吗?如何看待生活,的确与人的主观世界有关:心中没有阳光的人,势必难以发现阳光的灿烂!心中没有花香的人,也势必难以发现花朵的明媚!⑧既然如此,以豁达的态度面对人生吧!别小肚鸡肠!别斤斤计较!别动不动就背上沉重的十字架!1、文章开头引用谜语,有什么作用?2、第②段中“不动声色”表现了朋友什么样的性格?3、第④段中“果然有道理”,如何理解其中包含的道理?4、根据第⑤段的记叙,请用简明的话概括拉伯雷靠什么平安地到达巴黎。
5、第⑥段中拉伯雷的话与前面的谜语有何不同?说明了什么?6、模仿第⑦段中画横线的格式和修辞,补写两个句式相同的句子。
7、最后一段连用几个感叹号,有什么作用?8、读了本文,你认为生活还是什么?请运用比喻对它进行描摹。
地平线小的时候,我才从秦岭来到渭北大平原,最喜欢骑上自行车在路上无拘无束地奔驰。
庄稼收割了,又没有多少行人,空旷的原野上稀落着一些树丛和矮矮的屋。
中考英语 英语阅读理解(附答案)100 一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷 1.阅读理解 A few months ago, a friend of mine told me something about a woman named Virginia Feigles. Virginia Feigles had always planned to go to college. She couldn't make her dream come true when she was young because her parents were poor. She got married early, and soon became a mother. Year after year, time passed quickly. But Feigles never forgot her dream. After working as a hairdresser (理发师) for twenty years, she finally decided to change her life, when she was already forty-four. Feigles first went to a night school to learn high school lessons. After a few months, she applied (申请) to Bucknell University. It was hard for her to study in the university. She couldn't understand what the teacher taught in class. She also had to work at night. After work, she kept learning until very late. She thought about giving up many times, but she never really did that. After a lot of such hard days, Feigles graduated (毕业) successfully and soon became an engineer! I heard this story when I was at the bottom of my life. I was no longer young and I lost my job. Feigles' story inspired (激励) me a lot! "If Virginia can do it, I can too!" I decided to make some change to my life, too! (1)How old was Virginia Feigles when she started working as a hairdresser? A. 20. B. 24. C. 30. D. 44. (2)The underlined part "did that" can be replaced by "_______". A. stopped studying in the university B. gave up her job C. stopped teaching in the school D. worked as an engineer (3)It can be inferred(推断) that __________________________. A. Feigles' family was rich when she was young. B. Feigles didn't have children. C. It was easy for Feigles to study in the university. D. Feigles' story made a difference to the writer's life. (4)From the passage we can learn that___________________. A. it's expensive to go to college B. it's never too late to learn C. anyone can be an engineer D. parents are the best teachers 【答案】(1)B (2)A (3)D (4)B 【解析】【分析】文章大意:本文主要讲述了几个月前,我的一个朋友告诉我关于Virginia Feigles的故事。她直到44岁才开始下决心改变自己的生活,并开始学习高中和大学的课程,通过自己的努力奋斗,最终成为了一名工程师。 (1)细节题,题意:Virginia Feigles开始当美发师的时候多大年龄了?根据第二段,After working as a hairdresser (理发师) for twenty years, she finally decided to change her life, when she was already forty-four. 可知她44岁的时候已经当理发师20年了,所以她最初开始当美发师的时候是24岁,故选B。 (2)推断题,题意:划线部分"did that" 可以被下列哪个选项替代?根据划线词前面的but,可知表示转折 , but前后意思相反。联系上文Feigles申请在大学学习,她有很多次都想放弃 , 但是从来没有真的这样去做 , 指她没有停止在大学的学习 , 故选A。 (3)推断题,题意:根据文章内容,下列哪个选项可以被推断出来。根据第二段She couldn't make her dream come true when she was young because her parents were poor. 可知A项错误。根据第二段 She got married early, and soon became a mother. 可知B项错误。根据第三段she applied (申请) to Bucknell University. It was hard for her to study in the university. 可知C项错误。根据末段Feigles' story inspired (激励) me a lot!和 I decided to make some change to my life, too! 可知Feigles的故事对作者的生活起到了作用 , 所以D项正确 , 故选D。 (4)主旨题,题意:从这篇文章中我们可以知道什么。本文主要讲述Virginia Feigles 直到44岁才开始决定改变她的生活 , 不畏困难地开始学习高中和大学的课程 , 并努力奋斗 , 最终成为了工程师的故事。所以B项“活到老 , 学到老”最符合本文的主旨 , 其他三项并不能从文中得出 , 均错误 , 故选B。 【点评】考查阅读理解。本文涉及细节题、推断题和主旨题三种常考题型 , 注意细节题要注意从文中寻找答案;推断题需要联系上下文 , 推断出需要的信息;主旨题需要通读全文 , 了解大意之后找出中心思想。
