1、高考英语二轮复习题型重组第二十九组2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习题型重组第二十九组阅读理解AHe was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Marys School in Morris, Minn.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million.Very neat in appearance, he had that happytobealive attitude that made even his occasional
2、 misconduct delightful.Mark often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister!” I didnt know
3、what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a new teachers mistake.I looked at him and said,“If you say one more word, I am going to tape(用胶带封上) your mouth sh
4、ut!”It wasnt ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.” I hadnt asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. I walked
5、 to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape.Without saying a word, I proceeded to Marks desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked
6、 at me.When I walked back to Marks desk and removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.”One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.Then I told them to think of the ni
7、cest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper.That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I list
8、ed what everyone else had said about that individual.On Monday I gave each student his or her list.Before long, the entire class was smiling.“Really?” I heard the whispers.“I never knew that meant anything to anyone!”“I didnt know others liked me so much!”Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me,
9、Sister.”No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again.I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents.Several years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.Mother gave Dad a sideways glance and simply said,“Dad?” My father cleared hi
10、s throat as he usually did before saying something important.“The Eklunds called last night,” he began.“Really?”I said.“I havent heard from them in years.I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly.“Mark was killed in the Vietnam War,” he said.“The funeral(葬礼) is tomorrow, and his parents would like
11、 it if you could attend.”I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature.After the funeral, Marks mother and father found me.“We want to show you something,”his father said.“They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thought you might recognize it.” O
12、pening a billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times.I knew without looking that the pieces of paper were the ones on which I had listed all the good things that Marks classmates had said about him.“Thank you so much
13、for doing that,” Marks mother said.“As you can see, Mark behaved better and better at school.Its all because of you and your list.”Marks classmates started to gather around us.Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said,“I still have my list.Its in the top drawer of my desk at home.” Chucks wife said,
14、 “Chuck asked me to put this in our wedding album.” “I have mine too,” Marilyn said.“Its in my diary.” Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn list to the group.“I carry this with me at all times,” Vicki said without batting an eyelash.“I t
15、hink we all saved our lists.”Thats when I finally sat down and cried.1The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to _Aintroduce the topic of the storyBinform readers of the writers jobCintroduce the main character of the storyDmake a parison between the writers students2Which of the following aspects of Mark imp

20、s kept their lists as a sweet memory of their happy school life6What is the message conveyed in the story?AAttitude means everything.BPraise works wonders in a way.CPatience is necessary for a teacher.DFriendship between classmates is unforgettable.BFive or six years ago, I attended a lecture on the
21、 science of attention.A professor who conducted research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we cant see what we cant see, our lecturer was determ
22、ined to catch us in the act.He had us watch a video of six people tossing (投掷) basketballs back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white.The tape rolled, and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.Im dyslexic
23、 (患阅读困难症的), and the moment I saw that tape with the confusing basketball tossers, I knew I wouldnt be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander.I became curious, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla (大猩猩) walked in among the players.She (we later learned a fema
24、le student was in the gorilla suit) stared at the camera, beat her chest with her fist, and then went away while they continued passing the balls.When the tape stopped, the professor asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses in all.Hands went up all over.He then asked who
25、had counted 13, 14, and congratulated those who had scored the perfect 15.Then he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so.He had set us up, trapping us in our own attent
26、ion blindness.Yes, there had been a trick, but he wasnt the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain, and I believe that it presents us with a great oppo
27、rtunity.My take is different from that of many neuroscientists: where they see the shortings of the individual, I sense an opportunity for cooperation.Fortunately, given the interactive nature of most of our lives in the digital age, we have the tools to control our different forms of attention and
28、take advantage of them.Its not easy to admit that everything weve learned about how to pay attention means that weve been missing everything else.Its not easy for us logical, intelligent, confident types to admit that the very key to our success our ability to discover a problem and solve it, an ach
29、ievement obtained in all those years in school and beyond may be exactly what limits us.No one ever told us that our way of seeing left out everything else.7Which of the following is TRUE about the writer when the tape was played?ALike everyone else, the writer was counting carefully.BThe writer had
