【英语】英语阅读理解(人物故事)练习题20篇含解析
一、高中英语阅读理解人物故事类
1．阅读理解
Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining water-spotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. "I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修复) photos," she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. "It felt so good to be able to do that for them," says Rebecca. When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the community newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used high-tech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave's blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had emails from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help.
Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn't bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. "I didn't have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did," Emily says. "Almost every day I think about all the pictures I've lost. I'm so happy to have these two."
In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make "copy runs" to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors; operating costs are covered by donations. "It's great to be able to give people some of their history back," says Rebecca. "One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this."

A thrilling polar competition between two adventurers to cross Antarctica alone, unsupported and unassisted had a happy ending with both explorers achieving the unprecedented feat (功绩). American professional athlete Colin O'Brady and British Army Captain Louis Rudd set off a mile apart at the same time on November 3, 2018, from the Atlantic coast with the aim to become the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.
Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O'Brady caught up with Rudd on November10 and never let the British man get close to him again. O'Brady was the first to conquer the 930 mile icy land, arriving at the Ross Ice Shelf on the Pacific coast by way of the South Pole on December 26, 2018. The 33-year-old spent 54 days skiing the world's coldest continent while pulling a 300-pound sled(雪橇) with supplies.
Instead of leaving the harsh environment after completing the historic adventure, the explorer set up a tent on the world's largest ice sheet and waited patiently for Rudd to complete the great undertaking. On December 29, just three days after O'Brady arrived, the British explorer finished
his adventure, becoming the world's second person to complete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.
Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a "race". Besides, the 49-year-old British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, "I didn't want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I completed it, and that I skied solo and unsupported, carrying the flag with Henry's name on it."
After spending a few days camping 10 feet away from each other, the two adventurers were picked up by a helicopter to the South Pole scientific research station.
（1）What do Colin O'Brady and Louis Rudd have in common?
A. They became the first explorers to cross Antarctica alone, unaided.
B. They became the first adventurers to ski across Antarctica.
C. This is the first time that they have arrived at the South pole.
D. They crossed Antarctica in honor of their friend Henry Worsley.
（2）What do you know about the first leg(第一段賽程) of the race？
A. O'Brady skied along with Louis Rudd side by side.
B. O'Brady's sled with food supplies broke down.
C. Louis Rudd lost the tag with Henry's name on it.
D. O'Brady fell behind Louis Rudd for the first week.
（3）What can we infer about Henry Worsley?
A. He used to encourage O' Brady to explore the Antarctic.
B. He lost his life in a terrible traffic accident in 2016.
C. He died while he was attempting to cross the Antarctic alone.
D. He helped Louis Rudd complete the historic adventure.
（4）How did the two adventurers return to the South Pole scientific research station? A. On foot. B. By air. C. By land. D. By water.
【答案】（1）A
（2）D
（3）C
（4）B
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，两个冒险家在无人帮助的情况下独自滑雪穿越南极大陆，但是两个人的目的不同。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“A thrilling polar competition betwe en two adventurers to cross Antarctica alone, unsupported and unassisted had a happy ending with both explorers achieving the unprecedented feat (功绩).”以及“with the aim to become the first person to ski across the remote continent alone.”可知，两人的目标都是成为滑雪穿越南极洲的第一人，并且两人都获得成功，这是他们的共同之处，故选A。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Louis Rudd maintained the lead at first. However, O'Brady caught up with Rudd on November10”以及第一段可知，他们于11月3日出发，O'Brady赶上Louis Rudd是11月10日，可以得出，Louis Rudd领先时间为一周，故选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016.”可知，Worsley在2016年独自穿越南极洲的时候遇难，故选C。

3．阅读理解
When returning to south-western Germany, where my parents live, it is compulsory for me to go on a hike to connect with nature and reconnect with myself. So, that is exactly what I did the first sunny Sunday back in the beautiful Black Forest. The Huzenbacher See is a tarn in the middle of the northern Black Forest with abundant nature surrounding it. Approaching it after a good hour walk, I saw fascinating blue dragonflies in quantity that attracted us by the way they flew around. They didn't stand still for a photo, as they landed on leaves for a split second. We were also surprised at the yellow water lilies that can be seen floating on its surface between June and July.
Sitting down at one of the benches surrounding the lake for a picnic was satisfying in two ways.
I was aware of the world's beauty that gave me the energy to continue up the mountain to reach the most amazing view looking over the lake. The other was to really fill myself up in order to continue the adventure adequately, full up on some snacks and refreshing water from the well. The hike up wasn't as hard as expected and a good path was provided with dirty rocks and slippery stones all under the shade of the tall trees. This took about an hour and a half until reaching the beautiful view of the lake and land below. Once we had taken in the astonishing views, the walk back down took another hour or so, making the hike a 3-to4-hour round trip, which was well worth it!
Simply being back in the Black Forest and having such pleasant hikes is definitely good for the soul and I highly recommend getting yourself outside, be it in the Black Forest or anywhere outdoors. Get your intake of vitamin D and, most importantly, take in the moments that nature has to offer.
（1）What does the underlined word "tarn" in paragraph Ⅰ refer to?
A. Tree.
B. Tower.
C. Lake
D. Village.
（2）How did the author feel when sitting on the bench?
A. Tired.
B. Content.
C. Surprised.
D. Excited.
（3）What did the author call on people to do?
A. Take vitamin D pills.
B. Love and protect nature.
C. Save the soul and be yourself.
D. Go outdoors and get close to nature.
（4）According to the author, being back in the Black Forest and having pleasant hikes does good to one's ________.
A. health
B. spirit
C. character
D. experience
【答案】（1）C
（2）B
（3）D
（4）B

（1）考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“We were also surprised at the yellow water lilies that can be seen floating on its surface between June and July.”可知六月至七月间，黄黄的睡莲浮在水面上，我们也很惊讶。其中its指代The Huzenbacher See，故可知The Huzenbacher See 是一个湖泊，故划线部分tarn意思为"湖泊"，故选C。
（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“Sitting down at one of the benches surrounding the lake for a picnic was satisfying in two ways.”可知作者在湖边的长椅上坐下来野餐有两方面的满足感，即作者坐在长椅上时感到满足，故选B。
（3）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“I highly recommend getting yourself outside, be it in the Black Forest or anywhere outdoors.”可知作者强烈建议到户外去，无论是在黑森林还是任何户外的地方，去亲近自然，故选D。
（4）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“Simply being back in the Black Forest and having such pleasant hikes is definitely good for the soul”可知作者认为简单地回到黑森林，进行这样愉快的徒步旅行肯定对灵魂有好处，故选B。

High-Wire Act
Mickey Wilson had been on the mountain only a few seconds when he heard the scream. Wilson, 28 years old, had just gotten off the cable car (索道缆车) at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area in Keystone, Colorado, along with his friends Billy Simmons and Hans Mueller. Their friend Richard had been on the cable car ahead of them, but when the men reached the top of the lift, he had disappeared. The men walked toward the source of the scream and found skiers stopped on the slope, pointing to the cable car. And then the friends screamed too.
"Oh, Richard!" yelled Mueller.
When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been caught in the chair, which then dragged him back down the hill. In the process, the backpack belt twisted around his neck, making him breathless. Now Richard's body was swinging four feet above the snow. The cable car operator had quickly stopped it, and the friends kicked off their skis and ran toward the scene. They made a human pyramid to try to reach Richard, but the unconscious man was too far off the ground. With the clock ticking, Wilson ran to the ladder of a nearby lift tower. Scared skiers watched as he struggled the 25 feet. After he reached the top, Wilson's first challenge was to climb onto the two-inch steel cable that held the chairs. He handled the balance and height
bravely, but he knew he could not walk on the cable. Therefore, he calmed down and sat over it and then used his hands to pull himself to Richard quickly. Wilson's greatest fear wasn't that he'd fall, but that he wouldn't reach Richard. "This was life or death," he said.
When he reached Richard's chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But before that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.
Fortunately, the ski patrol (巡查) had gathered below and performed emergency treatment on Richard, who had been hanging for about five minutes, then skied him down to an ambulance.
That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his thanks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.
（1）What happened to Richard when he tried to jump off the cable car?
A. He was sick and became unconscious.
B. He left his skis which stopped the cable car.
C. He was too afraid to move forward in the cable car.
D. He was caught by the neck, hanging down the cable.
（2）How did Richard survive?
A. People worked together and saved him.
B. Wilson climbed on the cable and saved him.
C. The ski patrol got him down and treated him.
D. Skiers treated him and carried him to the hospital.
（3）The author wrote the fourth paragraph to show that .
A. the rescue process was dangerous
B. something was wrong with the cable car
C. Wilson could manage the process very well
D. the operator of the cable car ignored his duty
（4）The story at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area mainly tells us .
A. it is very dangerous to go skiing
B. he that climbs high often falls heavily
C. bravery and calm can help you make a difference
D. a person with a great talent always has great will-power
【答案】（1）D
（2）A
（3）A
（4）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，Mickey Wilson和他的两个朋友乘坐索道缆车上山的过程中，其中一个朋友出了事故。在那个万分紧急的时刻Mickey Wilson奋不顾身地去救人。
（1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"When Richard had tried to jump off the cable car, his backpack had been …swinging four feet above the snow"可知，背包带缠住了Richard的脖子把他悬在半空，也让他呼吸困难。故选D。
（2）考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“That night, Richard called from the hospital to express his th anks to Wilson, his other friends and the workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.”那天晚上，Richard从医院打电话表达对Wilson，其他朋友和Arapahoe Basin Ski Area的工作人员感谢，可知，Wilson，other friends 和workers at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area都对他施以援手,是他们的共同努力救了他。故选A。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段“When he reached Richard's chair, Wilson swung a leg over the cable and attempted to drop down onto it. But as he did that, his jacket caught on the movable footrest, which was in the up position. The footrest began to slide down, with Wilson attached. But befor e that could happen, he managed to free himself and reached Richard.”当威尔逊触到理查德的椅子时，他把一条腿甩过缆绳，试图跳到上面。但是当他那样做的时候，他的夹克被活动脚踏板给挂住了。脚踏板在上面，然后挂着威尔逊开始向下滑。但他及时让自己摆脱困境，够到了理查德，这段主要描述了Wilson救人的经过，且场面惊险，稍有不慎可能威尔逊自己也会受伤，所以这段描写主要突出救人的危险。故选A。
（4）考查推理判断。根据文章大意可知，Wilson能在那个危急时刻去求Richard表现他的勇敢；在5分钟内能想到可行的方法，说明Richard处乱不惊，沉着冷静。综上所述，面临危险勇敢，冷静才能化险为夷。故选C。

5．阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
I was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang. This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar.
"Linda, this is Lesley." I didn't know Lesley well. We did occasionally speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to reach someone she barely knew. Instead, she asked me, "Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer?" We had lots of room in our freezer, and in fact, too much. "Sure," I responded, "did your freezer break down?" "Not exactly," Lesley replied, "but I will explain when I arrive."
Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease (租约) of the grocery store her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the freezers that night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Noticing our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, "When will you come back for all this?" Lesley laughed, "We don't want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out!" Then they waved goodbye and drove away.
"For helping them out?" We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, yet it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our needs were met in an unexpected way by that call.
（1）How did the writer feel when she heard the phone ringing?
A. Relieved.
B. Anxious.
C. Shocked.
D. Angry.
（2）What does the author indicate by the underlined sentence in Para. 2?
A. They were short of food supplies.
B. Their freezer was not frequently used.
C. They were glad to put the turkey in the freezer.
D. Their freezer was too small to fill much food in.
（3）Why did Lesley call up the writer?
A. Because the writer was her good friend.
B. Because something awful had happened.
C. Because she knew the writer was in need.
D. Because she didn't want food to go to waste.
（4）What can be the best title for the text?
A. Who Is My Angel?
B. Unexpected Bargains
C. A Friend on Speaking Terms
D. Do You Have Room for a Turkey?
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者在困难时期意外收到一位只有点头之交人的“求助”，实际上却得到了对方的帮助。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"This could not be good. My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help"可知，这可能不是什么好事。我的脑子里飞快地掠过那些可能需要帮助的亲戚。所以通过关键词"not be good, raced through, need help"可知，作者听到电话铃响时感到很不安。故选B。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的" We had lots of room in our freezer, and in fact, too much."和最后一段中的"Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try"可知，我们冰箱的空间很多，事实是太多的空间。冰箱里面都是我们渴望而不可及的昂贵的食品。所以第2段下划线的句子表明他们缺乏食物补给。故选A。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of."可知，他们认为丢掉这些好食物是可耻的，于是决定把食物送给她能想到的任何人。所以Lesley为什么给作者打电话是因为她不想浪费食物。故选D。
（4）考查主旨大意。短文主要讲述了作者一家在困难时期收到Lesley的求助，询问其冰柜是否有空间存放火鸡，结果却得到Lesley帮助的故事。结合文章中提到的"Do you have room for a turkey?"可知，短文是围绕着“你有地方放一只火鸡吗？”而展开的。故短文的最佳标题为“你有地方放一只火鸡吗”。故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推
理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
6．阅读理解
At the age of seven, while his friends were spending their allowances on candy and toys, Jose Adolfo Quisocola, Peru, came up with the creative idea of an eco-bank which allows kids of all ages to become economically independent and financially wise while helping the environment.
Established in 2012, The Bartselana Student Bank is the world's first cooperative bank for kids. Whoever wants to join has to bring in at least 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of solid waste (paper or plastic) and establish a savings goal. Once accepted, all bank "partners" are required to deposit at least one additional kilogram (2* 2 pounds) of recydables on a monthly basis and obey other requirements, such as attending financial education and environmental management workshops. The waste accumulated is sold to local recycling companies, who, thanks to some clever negotiation by Jose, pay a higher-than-market rate for everything brought in by Bartselana Student Bank members. The funds received are placed in the individual's account where they collect until his/her savings goal is reached. The account holder can then withdraw his/her money, or choose to leave it and continue to grow for a bigger target.
"At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project," Jose recalls. "They did not understand that we are not the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of the school principal and an assistant in my classroom."
The youngster's persistence paid off. Today, the eco-bank, which now has the support of several local institutions, has ten educational centers and begins accepting applications from kids all across Peru. On November 20, 2018, the young boy was awarded the famous Children's Climate Prize (CCP). "Jose's eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact, both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing", a judge said.
Hopefully, Jose's success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment. As the boy says, "Together we can change the world, we just need an opportunity."
（1）For what purpose was the eco-bank created?
A. To educate children how to spend their allowances.
B. To help children break away from their parents.
C. To raise children's awareness of money and environment
D. To encourage children to buy whatever they want.
（2）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The history of the eco-bank
B. The requirements of membership,
C. The wisest way to deal with waste
D. The process of how the eco-bank works.
（3）What challenge did Jose meet at the beginning when opening the eco-bank?
A. Lack of enough support.
B. Lack of experience.
C. Lack of investment.
D. Lack of workers.
（4）What can we learn from the last two Paragraphs?
A. The boy's efforts were made in vain.
B. The eco-bank was highly appreciated.
C. The judge thought poorly of the eco-bank.
D. The boy's success had no practical values.
（5）What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Persistence Paid Off
B. Recycling does Count
C. An Opportunity to Change the World.
D. An Eco-bank, Economical and Ecological
【答案】（1）C
（2）D
（3）A
（4）B
（5）D

（2）考查段落大意。通读第二段内容可知,本段主要介绍了如何成为生态银行的客户、客户需要满足的条件,银行如何让孩子们赚钱、以及如何取款等,也就是主要介绍了生态银行是如何运作的,故选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"At the beginning, my teachers thought I was crazy or that a child could not undertake this type of project"可知,最初老师们都认为这是个疯狂的想法,一个小孩做不来的,再结合下文中的只有校长和一个助手支持他可知,建立生态银行之初,Jose 面临的最大的挑战是缺少足够的支持,故选A。
（4）考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"Jose's eco-bank is a brilliant way of linking economy and climate impact,both in thought and practice. The potential impact is amazing"可知,生态银行无论是在想法还是实际上都是一种将经济和气候影响联系起来的杰出方式,它的潜在影响是惊人的;在根据最后一段中的"Hopefully, Jose's success will inspire more kids and adults to come up with new ideas that create value while helping the environment"可知,Jose的成功有望激励更多的孩子和成人在帮助环境的同时创造价值,由此可知,Jose的生态银行得到了高度的赞赏,故选B。

7．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys. My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool.
It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road we saw something ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out, ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small, wet, and frightened creature. I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-brown in colour. Once home, we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel. We named our new animal Bobsy as we had no idea of its sex.
Sadly though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken. We rushed to the vet (兽医), who said, "It's only a rabbit, I'll put it to sleep." Our response was a very determined, "No way !"We found another vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal. After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with her front paws. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.
（1）Why did Johnny stop his car suddenly?
A. He came across a friend.
B. The headlights went out.
C. His car broke down on the road.
D. He noticed something in front of him.
（2）What happened to the little animal on its third day?
A. It slept on a door.
B. It was stuck in a door.
C. Its foot got seriously injured.
D. It fell off from the top of a door.
（3）Which best describes the family's attitude towards the rabbit?
A. Considerate
B. Cruel
C. Hopeless
D. Indifferent
（4）What is the passage mainly intended to do?
A. To tell the importance of protecting small animals.
B. To remember unusual experiences with a small rabbit.
C. To persuade people to give generously and receive thankfully.
D. To make the rabbit widely known to local people by paper.
【答案】（1）D
（2）C
（3）A
（4）B

One night I received a Facebook message from Laura, a former classmate. "Hey Steve," she said, "I know you've always been an animal lover. I've just had a baby and I can't keep my mini pig."
Being fond of animals, I knew I wanted the pig. I just had to figure out how to make it happen. I lived in a two-bedroom single-level house in Georgetwon, Ontario. It's tough to bring a pig back to the house I share with two dogs, two cats, and my lifelong partner.
But I was not letting that pig go. So I told Laura I'd take the animal. When I got home with the pig, I hid her in the bedroom, and began to prepare a dinner for Alisha—her favourite bacon cheeseburgers. It's better to make her happy before introducing the new member to her.
When I led her to the bedroom and showed her the surprise, Alisha stood in the doorway like a statue. It took her a few seconds to know what I had done. She complained about my unreasonable action. She insisted there was no more room in the house.
I knew I was wrong, but I hoped I could smooth things over. Soon enough, the lovely pig did the smoothing for me. Never had we felt such joy as she brought to us. We got her a name "Esther". Esther's arrival changed our lives. A few weeks later, we decided to stop eating bacon. We figured it was our turn to try to change the world for other animals. A few months later, we
moved to a farm where we cared for abandoned animals—so far, six rabbits, six goats, two sheep, one horse, three cows and three chickens.

9．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Kincaid looked at his watch: eight-seventeen. The truck started on the second try, and he backed out, shifted gears, and moved slowly down the alley under hazy sun. Through the streets of Bellingham he went, heading south on Washington 11, running along the coast of Puget Sound for a few miles, then following the highway as it swung east a little before meeting U.S Route 20. Turning into the sun, he began the long, winding drive through the Cascades. He liked this country and felt unpressed stopping now and then to make notes about interesting possibilities for future expeditions or to shoot what he called "memory snapshots." The purpose of these causal photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously. In later afternoon he turned north at Spokane, picking up U.S. Route 2, which would take him halfway across the northern United States to Duluth, Minnesota.
He wished for the thousandth time in his life that he had a dog, a golden retriever, maybe, for travels like this and to keep him company at home. But he was frequently away; overseas much of the time and it would not be fair to the animal. Still, he thought about it anyway. In a few years he would be getting too old for the hard fieldwork. "I must get a dog then." He said to himself.
Drives like this always put him into a sentimental mood. The dog was part of it. Robert Kincaid was alone as it's possible to be—an only child, parents both dead, distant relatives who had lost track of him and he of them, no close friends.
He thought about Marian. She had left him nine years ago after five years of marriage. He was fifty-two now, that would make her just under forty. Marian had dreams of becoming a musician, a folksinger. She knew all of the Weavers' songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle. When he was home in the old days, he drove her to the shows and sat in the audience while she sang.
His long absences—two or three months sometimes—were hard on the marriage. He knew that. She was aware of what he did when they decided to get married, and both of them had a vague sense that it could all be handled somehow. It couldn't when he came from photographing a story in Iceland and she was gone. The note read, "Robert, it didn't work out. I left you the Harmony guitar. Stay in touch."
He didn't stay in touch. Neither did she. He signed the divorce papers when they arrived a year later and caught a plane for Australia the next day. She had asked for nothing except her freedom.（1）Which route is the right one taken by Kincaid?
A. Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—U.S Route 2—Duluth
B. U.S. Route 2—Bellingham—Washington 11—Puget Sound—U.S Route 20—Duluth
C. U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth –Bellingham—Washington 11
D. Bellingham—Washington 11—U.S. Route 2—U.S Route 20—Duluth
（2）Which statement is true according to the passage?
A. Kincaid's parents were dead and he only kept in touch with some distant relatives.
B. Kincaid would have had a dog if he hadn't been away from home too much.
C. Kincaid used to have a golden retriever.
D. Kincaid needed a dog in doing his hard fieldwork.
（3）Why did Kincaid stop to take photos while driving?
A. To write "memory snapshots"
B. To remind himself of places he might want to visit again.
C. To avoid forgetting the way back.
D. To shoot beautiful scenery along the road.
（4）What can you know about Marian?
A. She died after five years of marriage.
B. She was older than Kincaid.
C. She could sing very well and earned big money.
D. She was not a professional pop singer.
（5）We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ________.
A. Marian knew what would happen before she married Kincaid
B. Kincaid thought his absence would be a problem when he married Marian
C. It turned out that Marian could not stand Kincaid's absence and left him
D. After Marian left him, they still kept in touch with each other
【答案】（1）A
（2）B
（3）B

（3）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“The purpose of these casual photographs was to remind him of places he might want to visit again and approach more seriously”。停下来拍照是为了提醒他自己他想再来观光的地方。故选B。
（4）考查细节理解。结合第五段中的“Marain had dreams of becoming a musician，a folksinger.She knew all of the Weavers’ songs and sang them pretty well in the coffeehouse of Seattle.”Marain梦想成为名音乐家，一名乡村歌手。她会所有Weavers的歌曲，而且她经常在西雅图的咖啡屋里唱那些歌，唱得非常好。可知她不是专业的流行歌手。故选D。
（5）根据细节理解。根据第六段中的“she was gone.The note read,Robert,it didn’t work…”Marain在决定结婚前清楚知道Kincaid做什么，他们都要不清晰的感觉，那些在一定程度上是可以解决的。可是Marain离开了，那些是不起作用的。由此得知Marain受不了Kincaid长期不在她身边而离开他。可知选C。

10．Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
After some blood tests, Dr Stubs stood before me, a tall man, but short on personality and sporting a cold expression. You have systemic lupus, he said matter-of-factly. "Lupus," he continued, "is an auto-immune disease and …." I remember certain details but mostly I remember him talking about children. "Children are no harm. But childbirth would jumpstart additional symptoms that could be life threatening. You already have two kids anyway."
As I got up to leave, shaken and drained, he said his parting words, "I would discourage any further research. There is no cure and nothing can prevent its progression."
Still, I did research lupus and its symptoms tiredness and joint pain-were both consistent with what I was experiencing. And eventually some major organs could be affected, causing shutdown and possibly death.
I studied and found out that echinacea had a record in making immune system stronger. I decided that along with the plant I would strengthen my mindset by immersing myself in my family with my one-year-old son and three-year-old daughter.
After another visit, I decided never to go back to Dr. Stubs. How could one endure repeatedly hear desperately words coming from an emotionless mouth even though they were truth? The years passed. When I would feel tired and achy I pulled support from my children and their laughter.
Finally, after eight years, I went to Dr. Kirstein who was recommended by a friend. She stood there holding my hand and looking into my eyes warmly.
"So let's talk a little
Instantly my defenses were down. Before I knew it, she had me running on and on about my children, my husband, my life and dreams. I told her about all the meaningful activities I was involved in, those things I might have never done without the disease.
After several follow-up tests, and greater research into my family history, Dr. Kirsteincame to conclusive answer. I did not have systemic lupus. There must be something wrong with the initial tests 8 years before.
I didn't know whether I should jump for joy or scream because I had been living the last eight years in fear of a fatal disease. But then I realized that I had been living every day, not so much in fear, but happiness Even day was a gift and I knew it.
