1、专题15 阅读理解记叙文 组合练20篇2022-2023学年寒假高二英语轻松突破重难点查漏补缺组合练（原卷版）（一）One of the improv (即兴表演) classes I attended regularly was taught by Jim Cranna every Saturday afternoon. Sometimes, as many as twenty-five to sixty-plus folks showed up. Jim made sure to fit everyone in so they could improve their skills.The
2、class lasted for three hours. The usual cast of comic actors played improv comedy games. And we would go to the nearest mini market located in the building and get a snack or coffee during breaks. One day three of us were standing outside the building, when Robin Williams - an internationally famous
3、 actor and comic walked by, enjoying the fresh bay air. Completely frozen, my fellow comics couldnt summon up the courage to just say “hi” to Robin, who was with a friend. I froze for a moment, but then I composed myself. I told them, “Hey, if you guys cant handle it, then I will ask him to come and
4、 join us for the second half of class.” I could hear them mumble under their breath, “Yeah, sure, right. Youre going to ask Robin Williams to come to our comedy class. Good luck with that one!”So I went up to Robin and his friend and asked him to join us.“Were having an improv comedy class. Were on
5、break now, but we would be most humbled and honored if you would join us for the second half of the class.”Robin looked directly in my eyes and said with little hesitation, “Okay.”It was like a grown-up child being asked to come and play. With that, he and his friend followed me up to the class.When
6、 he saw Robin, Jim said, “Oh my goodness, look who Micheline is bringing to class.” Jims eyes were all reddening in astonishment and delight. “Why, its Robin Williams!” Robin and his friend stayed the rest of the class and at the end of the classes, Robin and Jim performed a skit (滑稽短剧). We actually
7、 watched him shape-shift as he prepared physically and mentally for his made-up character. He gave it his all. It was truly magical.What a delight for all of us that Saturday afternoon! All I know is that if I hadnt mustered up the courage to ask Robin to join us, none of us would have had that expe
8、rience.4What did the author want to show by telling the experience?AEvery cloud has a silver lining.BIts never too late to mend.CA brave attempt is half success.DActions speak louder than words.5What does the underlined word “compose” mean in paragraph 2?ALook down.BMake up.CPick up.DCalm down.6What

Feeling very bored, I had nothing to do but wait on the bus as there was still about half an hour to go. But it gave my curious eyes enough time to look around.
11、The bus station is a noisy and restless world, where people from all walks of life come and go. Looking around, I saw people saying goodbye to their families and peddlers (商贩) selling their bottled water. My sight finally rested on a girl who sat by the window on the bus next to mine and buried hers
12、elf in a book.The moment I caught sight of her, my heart just skipped a beat. And then, it beat so fast. All that just happened in the blink of an eye. We were about four meters away from each other and only blocked by the windows of our buses, but I could not have a clear view of her face from behi
13、nd, only a view of her back. I thought that she was young for vigor of youth from her long hair.She kept reading without a move, so I supposed what she was reading was so appealing that she did not move her sight a little except for turning over the pages. She paid attention neither to the crowd out
14、side nor to the passing of time. It is actually rare to see a young woman concentrating on reading in such a noisy bus station and what she was reading doesnt matter. It was really a touching picture since in this material world there are still people willing to sit quietly and read. Which one of us
15、 would like to find time to read since we have long been distant from books, the carrier of words?The time finally came with a bell ringing. Maybe I could never see her again, but this beautiful encounter should last in my memory for the rest of my life.4What can we learn from paragraph 1?AThe autho

18、tic.7What can be a suitable title for the text?AA Magic EncounterBA Trip to RememberCA Book to Be OpenedDA Beauty by the Window（三）It was late on a Thursday evening in Austin, Texas, and I had just finished my shift downtown waiting tables. I hopped into my truck and headed away from the chaos to my
19、own personal oasis, Dans Depot. It was on a four-lane road that went straight from the heart of Austin to West Texas. Once, Dans Depot had been outside of the city. But with Austins population growing and the citys expansion, it was swallowed up by high-rise buildings and skyscrapers. Ive been famil
20、iar with Dans Depot since I played my first show there. Like most waiters in Austin, Im actually a musician. The woman who welcomes customers is Dans wife Maude.I slid my truck into the last free spot and headed to the door. “Hows it going, Maude?” I asked.“David, I just dont know what were going to
21、 do,” she said. “Our contract with the landlord is up for renewal at the end of the month, and he has doubled the rent. Even if we charged twice as much for the snacks and shows, we could never make ends meet.”My heart dropped. On some level, Id been expecting to hear this news for as long as Id bee
22、n coming to Dans Depot. After all, Dans Depot was now sandwiched between a shop selling yoga pants to people who could afford personal trainers and a luxury furniture store where even a simple dining chair cost more than $1,000. How could this little live music joint survive with those kinds of neig
23、hbors? “What are you going to do with this place? Are you moving?” I asked.She shook her head slowly. “I just dont know. Dan and I are not as young as we used to be.”I patted her on the shoulder and made my way to the tables near the stage. Memories sprung up in my mind. Most of my musical ideas cam
24、e to me while I was watching live shows here at Dans Depot. When the song ended, I got up and went back to Maude.“How about I run the new Dans Depot?” I asked her. She stared at me, surprised.“Hear me out,” I said. “Ive got enough money to go in with you and Dan as a third partner. I know the Texas
25、music scene in and out, and I can get the best new bands in here every week. Well move it way down South Congress Avenue, where its still close enough to be accessible from downtown but the rent is more affordable. And most importantly, this place means a lot to me.”Maude was still staring at me sil
26、ently. I began to grow uneasy. Had I offended her? I started apologizing. She cut me off with a huge embrace. “Honey, I think thats a fantastic idea.”4The underlined word “oasis” in Paragraph 1 refers to a place where the author _.Aparks his truckBworks full-timeCgrabs a meal at nightDfinds joy and
27、relaxation5Why did the author say he had long expected to hear the news Maude told him?AHe had felt the sandwiches in Dans Depot were too expensive.BHe had thought Dans Depot was out of tune with its surroundings.CHe had pointed out the management of Dans Depot was inefficient.DHe had suggested Dan
28、and Maude should retire early and enjoy their lives.6What does the author advise Maude to do?ASell Dans Depot to him.BHire him as a lead singer.CFind another way to run the business.DAdvertise for a third partner.7Whats the best title for the passage?AThe power of musicBOld traditions die hardCMy re
29、spect for MaudeDEvery end is a new beginning（四）At thirteen, I was diagnosed with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not. In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write about i
30、t, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didnt finish the reading w
31、hen the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots,
32、 which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasnt I the “blind” one in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts flowed and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter
33、place. Now that Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up? I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can
34、do when you keep tying.”4Why did the author fail to finish class reading?AHe had poor reading skills.BHe was tired of literature.CHe had an attention disorder.DHe wanted to take the task home.5What do we know about Louis Braille from the text?AHe was poor.BHe was very creative.CHe was near-sighted.D

36、challenges.DOne can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.（五）Chrissy Harrisons jewelry business, Elsie Frieda, has outgrown the guest bedroom of her home, moving to a studio and production space. Designing necklaces and earrings, Harrison left her IT consulting sales job to pursue her passio
37、n for fashion in late 2018. As a mother of two boys, Chrissy had just gotten her youngest started in kindergarten when she revisited her past hobby of jewelry making. Sourcing her bead (珠子) supply from a market in Ghana, she launched her jewelry business with about 12 designs selling at in-home jewe
38、lry parties and at Roan, the womens clothing store in Carytown. In February 2019, a costume designer for the Netflix teen drama “Outer Banks” saw a social media post and bought multiple necklaces from Harrison for the show. A year later, Harrison had forgotten about the exciting encounter as she con
39、tinued to grow the business. Then the pandemic hit, and everything came to a stop. Like many small businesses, she had to handle shipping and supply issues. Then in April 2020, Harrison received an email from Netflix, which let her know that the show with her necklaces was about to be broadcast. “Ou
40、r world just changed overnight,” Harrison says. Since the debut (首播) of the show, Harrison says, orders have grown from about 30 per day to more than 100. Handling this wave of business was made possible thanks to her team of female employees who helped with everything from making the jewelry to shi
41、pping it. Harrison named the business after her grandmother, Frieda, who graduated from Temple University in Philadelphia. Harrison modeled the companys mission after Friedas character. “We are kind first, work hard second, and then we know well be successful,” her grandmother once said. Harrison ha
42、s helped raise funds for causes such as breast cancer awareness and hunger relief.

From June to September, the temperature can easily go beyond the century mark. But that doesnt stop hikers from attempting the 1.3-
46、mile hiking to the top of the citys famed Camelback Mountain. Signs warn that the trail (路 线) is “extremely difficult” . If you continue, a posted checklist suggests at least a liter (升) of water per person. And if youre still not stopped, another sign farther up declares: “If youre halfway through
47、your water, turn around!”Unfortunately, many people do not take the warnings seriously. Fortunately, Scott Cullymore does. The 53-year-old Cullymore can be found hiking up and down Camelback a couple of times a day, giving out cold bottles of water to worn-out hikers. He has helped supply water to s
48、o many hikers that he has earned a heavenly nickname: the Water Angel.Cullymore was on Camelback Mountain one day in 2015 when a British tourist died after being lost for nearly six hours in the July heat. That experience inspired him to start helping people caught unaware by the cruelty of Mother Nature. “They underestimate the mountain, and they overestimate what they can do, and they get themselves in trouble.” he warned.O
