高考阅读专题复习--故事类10篇

专题复习—阅读理解（故事类）教师版

一、故事类文章的文体特征和命题特点

故事类文章描述的是一件具体事情的发生、发展和结局，通常有时间、地点、人物、事件等。有些故事是按事件发展的经过为主线叙述的，在叙述的过程中有详有略；有些故事是按时间的顺序叙述的，有顺叙、倒叙等。从总体上来讲，故事类文章的难度通常不大，在阅读过程中，我们一直在某个线索的引导下，随着作者的思路去了解一个故事或一件事情的始末，因此会感到比较轻松。命题往往从故事的情节、人物或事件之间的关系、作者的意图和态度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查学生对细节的辨认能力以及推理判断能力。

二、故事类文章的阅读策略和解题技巧

阅读故事类文章时，应注意把握主旨大意，弄清主要情节，立足文章的内容揣摩作者的态度和意图，根据文章的情节展开合理的想象。下面我们依据具体的题目，针对不同的题型，介绍一些解题技巧。

一、主旨大意题

主旨大意题通常分为两类：What's the main idea of the passage? (What can we learn from the passage?)以及What is the best title for the passage? 以08年重庆卷59题为例：Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? 文章中妈妈在做外祖母做过的被子，并进行了修改，而在文章的最后作者说：I realized，too，that I held in my hands a family treasure．It started with the 1oving hands of one woman，and continued with the loving hands of another. 看来这被子被看作传家之宝，也就不难做出选择了。

提示：在做best title之类的题目时，一定注意要抓住重点，比如下面江苏卷的70题，似乎每个选项都和文章有联系，但要选择最主要的、最能全面概括文章内容的选项。

二、推理判断题

与其它类型的文章不同，在故事类文章的推理判断题中，通常没有infer, conclude之类的词，比如08年全国卷I的56题：Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

我们来看原文：My earliest memories of my father are a tall，handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children．As a child I 1oved him．He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A?s and unhappy with my boyf riends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was．Whenever 1 went out with him on weekends．I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

我们无法直接从原文中找到问题的答案，但我们可以从只有作者得到A时爸爸才高兴，并且要求作者男朋友的爸爸和自己一样成功才满意等事实推断出，爸爸对女儿的期望值很高，从而做出正确的选择。

提示：①在做此类题目时，一定要体会并把握作者所表达的情感与态度，并根据上下文有理有据地进行推理判断，千万不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点。②在选择答案时，要避免选择文章中已经直接表明的选项，或者只有一部分与原文一致的选项；要选择根据已知信息合理推断出的选项。

三、词义理解题

我们先来看重庆卷的58题：The underlined word “crooked” in the passage most probably means _________.

原文：I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had pieced it together；irregular designs，childish pictures，a crooked line on the right.

“Grandmother made this?” I said, surprised．My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn't look 1ike any of the quilts she had made．

读到这里我们发现，crooked之前有“像小孩缝的、不规则的、孩子气的图案”等暗示，我们需要猜测的是被子上的缝线会是什么样子，使得作者接下来对此表示惊讶：外祖母是缝被子的高手，这床被子不像出自她的手。后来的She had made straight a crooked line以及my mother made many quilts．She didn't get all lines straight使得我们在猜测此前被子上的缝线A．unfinished B．broken C．bent D．unusual时，不难猜出C．bent“弯弯曲曲”的缝线最符合此处的语境。这是依靠上下文以及反义词来猜测词义的方法。

提示：我们应当充分利用上下文猜测词义，即利用上下文中我们已经熟悉或明了的单词或短语，立足上下文语义，进行逻辑上的推理。通常我们可以通过分析构词法、语法以及同位关系、对比关系、因果关系等来推测，有时还需要借助平时所积累的常识和经验来判断。

三、故事类文章真题解析

Passage 1 (09年全国卷IA篇)

I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened Looking down I immediately recognized that something was wrong and ran down to the edge of the near bank There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water and it was a life-and-death struggle Her calf was floating and screaming with fear Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf a way.

There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother?s body and was gone Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻）against the rocky bank Then with a huge effort she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.

Just at this moment she fell back into the river If she were carried down it would be certain death I knew as well as she did ,that there was one spot（地点）where she could get up the bank but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.

While I was wondering what I could do next I heard the sound of a mother?s love Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could roaring （吼叫）all the time but to her calf it was music.

四、故事类阅读理解模拟训练

第一篇（2010·山东卷·A）

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.

After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabetic https://www.360docs.net/doc/af5875634.html,, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.

Jason Swencki?s son, Kody, was diag nosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."

Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.

These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity（慈善机构）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. https://www.360docs.net/doc/af5875634.html, has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.

Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."

56【解析】选C。细节理解题。通读全文可知，Christopher Thomas对于自己的疾病采取了积极的态度，所以C项正确。A项与Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life不符；B项与文中的Thomas开办网站，与病人及其家属分享有关的信息和资源不符；D项提到的写作是Thomas的专职工作，而他的志愿工作才是运作Fight It 这个慈善机构。

57【解析】选A。考查细节理解。根据a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 p eople share personal stories, information, and resources可知，https://www.360docs.net/doc/af5875634.html, 是一个供糖尿病患者交流的网站，故A项正确。

58 【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone." 可知B项正确。

59 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. https://www.360docs.net/doc/af5875634.html, has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash.可知，Fight it 在经济上帮助其他糖尿病患者，故A项正确。

60 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一句But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.可知Thomas在用自己的方式帮助糖尿病人，所以C项正确。A 项与Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables不符；B项与Even with a staff of 22 volunteers；D项与"Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."不符。

第二篇（2010·辽宁卷·A）

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog?s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn?t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn?t just wait to see the crops failing and the chil dren getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn?t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

56. From paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.

A. worked very hard for centuries

B. dreamed of having a better life

C. were poor but somewhat content

D. lived a different life from their forefathers

57. Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. the frogs were easy money

B. They needs money to buy medicine

C. they wanted to please the visitors

D. the frogs made too much noise

58. What might be t he cause of the children?s sickness?

A. the crops didn?t do well

B. there were too many insects

C. the visits brought in diseases

D. the pesticides were overused

59. What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?

A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B. Health is more important than money.

C. The harmony between man and nature is important.

D. good old day will never be forgotten.

答案：

【文章大意】本文通过描写印度的一个小村庄因为过度捕杀青蛙而对庄稼和孩子造成损伤，然后幡然醒悟的故事，说明了人与自然应和平相处的道理。

56. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。从第一段中二三句话“The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. ”可知“村民们虽然穷，但还是颇为满足的”。

57.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“This seemed like money for nothing. ”句中“for nothing”是“免费的”意思，说明青蛙容易得到，并能赚到钱，村民才答应卖。58.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. ”可以推断出庄稼收成不好，孩子生病与青蛙减少，害虫增多有关。

59.【解析】选C。推理判断题。最后一句“These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. ”现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深刻的意义。说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡，由此也影响了人类，因此，可以推断人与自然的和谐是重要。

第三篇（2010·陕西卷·B）

Brave Frenchman Found Half-way Around the World

(NEW YORK) A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two-year-old girl in Manhattan said he didn?t think twice before diving i nto the freezing East River.

Tuesday?s Daily News said 29-year-old Julie Duret is the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.

He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Scaport museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had dived in after him.

“I didn?t think at all,” Duret told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.”

Duret, an engineer on vacation ,was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头)when he saw something falling into the water .He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water.

When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes.

Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera. An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a train with his girlfriend shortly after.

The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Duret said he didn?t realize his tale of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the next morning.

“I don?t really think I?m a hero,” said Duret. “Anyone would do the same thing.”

50. Why was Duret in New York?

A. To meet his girlfriend

B. To work as an engineer

C. To spend his holiday

D. To visit the Andersons.

51. What did Duret do shortly after the ambulance came?

A. He was interviewed by a newspaper

B. He asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes

C. He went to the hospital in the ambulance

D. He disappeared from the spot quickly

52. Who dived after Duret into the river to save the little girl?

A. David Anderson

B. a passer-by

C. his girlfriend

D. a taxi driver.

53. When was Duret most probably found to be the very hero?

A. the day when he was leaving for home.

B. a couple of days after the girl was rescued

C. the first day when he was in New York

D. the same day when he was interviewed.

答案：【文章大意】本文讲述了一位法国游客见义勇为而备受赞扬的故事。

50.【解析】选C。推断题。由文章的第一句话和第五段的第一句话都可以推出Duret在纽约是度假的。

51. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。由文中倒数第三段中的“An ambulance came later for her, said Duret, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers. Duret caught a train with his girlfriend shortly after. ”，我们知道救护车来了之后，Duret和他的女朋友立刻去赶火车了，即很快离开了现场。既没有接受报社的采访，也没有坐救护车去医院，所以A项和C项属于无中生有。他没有向他女朋友要干衣服，而是旁观者递给他的，所以B项属于偷梁换柱。

52. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。由文中第三段的最后一句话“He handed the girl to her father ,David Anderson, who had dive in after him. ”，我们可知小女孩的父亲David Anderson 随Duret后跳入河中去救小女孩。

53.【解析】选B。细节理解题。由文章的第二段可知，救人这件事发生在上周六，星期二的每日新闻才说Julie Duret就是那个救人后马上。离开现场的人，所以说事隔几天后人们才知道了这位英雄的名字。

第四篇（2010·天津·C）

In the kitchen of my mother?s h ouses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.

I?m looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can?t be the same pencil? The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.

“I?m just amazed you still have the same sta nd for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can?t you afford a pen?”

My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I?ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”

Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one han d, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”

This story—which happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.

46．Why has the author?s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?

A．To leave messages. B．To list her everyday tasks.

C．To note down maths problems. D．To write down a flash of inspiration.

47. What is the author?s original opinion about the wooden stand?

A. It has great value for the family.

B. It needs to be replaced by a better one.

C. It brings her back to her lonely childhood. D .It should be passed on to the next generation.

48. The author feels embarrassed for .

A. blaming her mother wrongly.

B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.

C. not making good use of time as her mother did.

D. not making any breakthrough in her field.

49. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A .The mother is successful in her career. B. The family members like traveling.

C. The author had little time to play when young.

D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.

50. In the author?s mind, her mother is.

A. strange in behavior.

B. keen on her research.

C. fond of collecting old things.

D. careless about her appearance.

答案：【文章大意】在母亲家的厨房里，总有一个放记事本和铅笔的木架。木架用了多年未换，记事本上记录着母亲一边做饭一边看孩子所产生的对解数学题的一瞬间的灵感，充分表现了母亲利用任何可利用的时间来思考研究解决数学问题，母亲是一个事业成功的天才数学家。几十年过去了，那些东西未改变，每顿饭都是一个看不到的展览。

46. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。第四段中母亲所讲的话中写到“一天我一边做饭一边看孩子同时有了一个很好的想法，但是架子上是空的”。由a brilliant thought,可知是记录一些灵感的，所以选D。A项是留信息；B项列出每天的任务；C项记下数学问题。注意C项是干扰项。通过下文中“结果对我一直想解决的数学题是一个真正的突破”可排除C项。47．【解析】选B。推理判断题。从第三段“I?m just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these(我感到很吃惊这么多年了你还是用着同样的木架来放记事本和铅笔)”可知，作者原以为旧的木制架子该换了，也就是需要换一个更好的了。所以B项正确；A项木架对全家人意义重大；C项使她会想起孤独的童年；D项应该传给下一代；都不符合文章内容。

48．【解析】选C。推理判断题。作者看到母亲充分利用任何可利用的时间来思考研究解决数学问题，根据最后一段中I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work(我觉得很难为情，我抱怨没有足够的时间玩)可知作者对童年未充分利用时间遗憾，所以C项正确。A、B、D项在文章中未提到。

49.【解析】选A。推理判断题。从最后一段中…reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician的“天才数学家”可以推断出母亲事业成功。根据最后一句those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years(意思是说那些符号未被改变地经历了50年)可知B项是错误的。根据最后一段中I complain about not having enough child-free time to work可以看出C项是错的。根据最后一句中…rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard可知D项错误。

50．【解析】选B。推理判断题。作者通过a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil描写了一位母亲对事业的执着和热爱，由此可以推断B项正确。其它选项在文中并没提到。

第五篇(2010·湖南卷·B)

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, “Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn?t work out, you?ll have something to rely on.” Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on,“the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course,” she recalls.

The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignor ing her mom. “I don?t know how to use a computer,” she admits.

Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. “I felt there was a need for a book like this,” she says. “I didn?t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we?re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease.”

But she hasn?t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up－again－and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.

Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. “Everybody on earth can ask, …why me?? about something or other,” she insists. “It doesn?t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by h elping others. I?ve come to realize the importance of that as I?ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”

61. Why did Mary feel regretful?

A. She didn?t achieve her ambition.

B. She didn?t take care of her mo ther.

C. She didn?t complete her high school.

答案：【文章大意】这是一篇人物介绍。文章讲述了Mary Moore的故事。她是一个赢得过

许多奖项的女演员，流产和身患糖尿病使她曾经逃避、沉沦但随后她觉醒振作，最终投身糖尿病的防治。

61. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。由第二段第二句：Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom.可知Mary Moore是在为未能听从母亲的建议而懊悔。

62. 【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句：Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress…可知，她的第二本书并不像1995出版的自传那样，对自己获得的奖项却介绍得更少了。由此可推断Mary Moore在1995年之前获得过不少奖项。第二段第二句：In her career, Mary won many awards也有提示。所以答案选B。

63. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。可在第三段第一句：…her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病)中找到答案。

64. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第四段，特别是第四、五句“In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up－again－and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her.”当Mary Moore听到改变她人生的消息时，她孩子气地选择了逃避，数年后，她才意识到她必须控制糖尿病而不是被它控制，由此可推断她当时失去了控制。

65. 【解析】C。细节理解题。根据最后一段第四、五、六句“Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I?ve come to realize the importance of that as I?ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be.”可知Mary Moore感受到了帮助别人的重要性，并尽可能地去帮助别人。故选C。

第六篇(2010·全国卷II·A)

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad?s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, “Bad girl.” She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.

Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.

Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.

41. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?

A. Look at them sadly.

第七篇(2010·安徽卷·D)

My father was 44 and knew he wasn?t 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 be lieved in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn?t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I?ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “I s 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, I?ve come to believe he?d want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and beli eve in, somebody else. It?s time to start writing my own letters to my children. Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had. Our kids don?t hold back because they?re afraid to fail. They?re only afraid of failing us. They don?t worry about being disappointed. Their fear ----as mine was until my father?s letter----is of being a disappointment.

Give your children permission to succeed. They?re 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; “Don?t worry; you?ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

68. We learn from the text that the author .

A. lost his father when he was young

B. worked hard before he read his father?s letter

C. asked his father permission to believe in himself

D. knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do

69. What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?

A. Children need their parents? letters.

B. Children are afraid to be disappointed.

C. His children?s fear of failure held them back.

D. His father?s letter removed his fear of failing his parents.

70. Which of the following is true of the author?

A. He got no access to success.

B. He wrote back to his father at 12.

C. He was sure his parents loved him.

D. He once asked his father about the letter.

71. The main purpose of the text is to _______.

A. describe children?s thinking

B. answer some questions children have

C. stress the importance of communication

D. advise parents to encourage their children

答案：【文章大意】作者12岁时收到父亲的写给他的信，让作者铭记在心的是父亲对他的鼓励，让他有了成功的信心。作者认为每个家长都应该多给予孩子鼓励和支持。

68. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段的My father was 44 and knew he wasn?t going to make it to 45.(父亲知道自己不可能活到45岁)。可知作者小时就失去了父亲。

69. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。从本段的“Our kids don?t hold back because they?re afraid to fail. They?re only afraid of failing us. ”可知孩子们并不是因为害怕失败而退缩，而是因为他们害怕让我们失望。又根据“Their fear ----as mine was until my father?s letter----is of being a disappointment. ”可知作者直到读了父亲的信以后，他的这种“害怕”才结束。言外之意，父亲的信打消了作者担心让父母失望的想法。

70. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段的“I always knew my parents loved me. ”可知作者相信父母是爱他的。

71. 【解析】选D。推理判断题。通读全文尤其是最后一段，作者提到家长应该给孩子成功的机会，要相信孩子会成功的，给孩子信心，这才是父母对孩子的更完整的，更真实的爱。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是在建议父母给孩子以鼓励。

第八篇（2010·湖北卷·A）

It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.

My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.

I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. I?m so glad I did.

On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.

On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldn?t believe it ——

there aren?t any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.

The little baby whale——actually as big as our boat——was obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “She?s trying to help her baby,but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe——and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.

In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day, Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.

51. The author says “I?m so glad I did.”(in Para.2)because __________.

A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing

B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea

C. he experienced the rescue of the whales

D. he spent the weekend with his family

52. The harbour survived the storm owing to____________.

A. the shape of the harbour

B. the arms of the bay

C. the still water in the channel

D. the long coast line

53. The mother whale failed to help her baby because__________.

A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long

B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough

C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help

D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction

54. What is the theme of the story?

A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness

B. Fishing provides excitement for children

C. It?s necessary to live in harmony with animals

D. It?s vital to protect the environment

答案：【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文，描述一个孩子与父亲一起解救鲸鱼的童年记忆。51.【解析】选C。句意推断题，可根据文章主线来解答。此题的关键在于询问I?m so glad I did的原因，而不是简单的句意猜测，审题时定要抓住because，否则，就会感到做题无所适从。

53. 【解析】选D。细节判断题。由第五段中…“She?s trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said.…可直接判断得出答案。

54.【解析】选A。主题判断题。通过对全文内容的分析和对最后一段的仔细品味可以得出作者从这次拯救鲸鱼的经历中获得的幸福感。因此选A项。

第九篇（2011·北京市东城区高三统一检测）

Has anyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one?s relationship with one?s grown-up daughters and sons become s changed? I?ve been aware of this for some time but I?m not quite sure how to deal with it.

Take the kitchen sink for example.

Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink.

“Don?t do that; what are you doing that for?” I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism.

“Mum,” she said, “you really ought to put your glasses on when you clean the sink. Behind the tap here was black!”

But it?s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, “Mum, why do you use brown eyebrow pencil when your hair is grey?”

A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come i n to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she?d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.

Now I told her, “My hair used to be brown.”

“It looks absurd.”

“Mrs. Menzies had dark eyebrows with grey hair.”

“Yes, but you?re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?” she said triumphantly, as if that proved her point.

But a recent event made me realize that something really must be done.

She had returned some for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me.

“Well, what time of night is this to be coming home?” she shouted. “Where have you been? I?ve been worried sick!”

Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it?s only a stage young people are going through.

60．The daughter th ought her mother didn?t clean the kitchen sink well because of her .

A．laziness B．carelessness C．unhappiness D．poor-quality glasses

61．From the passage we know the daughter .

A．didn?t want to help with the sink

B．didn?t like brown eyebrow pencils

C．had an accident when she went to her first party

D．shouted at her mum because she came home late

62．How does the mother feel after all these have happened?

63．The author writes the stories to prove that .

A．their relationship became stronger

B．their roles changed as time passed

C．her daughter very much cared about her

D．her daughter got upset as she grew up

答案：60-63 BDDB
