高考英语二轮复习试题：阅读理解 训练(五)　故事类（含解析）.doc

训练(五)　故事类 (一) Most heroes are not super. They don􀆳t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them. Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He􀆳s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby. About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they􀆳re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike􀆳s owner and arranged to meet him—supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You􀆳ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary. His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn􀆳t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason why he continues his work is to keep up Seattle􀆳s reputation as a friendly city. 1.Bike Batman is 　　　　.  A.a Seattle citizen B.a website manager C.a superhero D.a police officer 2.When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first 　　　　.  A.contact the owner of the stolen bike B.look up the bike􀆳s information C.call the police department D.arrange to meet the thief 3.Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to 　　　　.  A.become famous B.help poor people C.punish bike thieves D.build a friendly city 4.From the passage, we can learn that 　　　　.  A.Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested B.the police failed to perform their duties C.Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident D.the thieves refused to return the bikes (二) My husband Dave and I unloaded our car after a fun-filled day trip to Wellington. As soon as I walked in the front door, I noticed a flashing light on our answering machine. I pressed the button. “Hi, Dave and Sharon. You don􀆳t know me. My name is Janet. I have your camera.” What? I rummaged(搜寻) through my bag—sure enough, my camera was nowhere to be found. How did this stranger have it? How did she know it was mine? The photos on this camera were priceless. Almost all from our recent vacation to Wyoming to visit our youngest son and his wife were on it. Our oldest son joined us and it was the first time we􀆳d all been together in over a year. I􀆳d cleared the memory card beforehand—just some old photos that I􀆳d already downloaded—so I would have plenty of room to capture every precious moment. Dave and I had one day after our trip to Wyoming before we had to return to work, so we mapped out a bike ride in Wellington. Upon our arrival, I took a few photos while Dave took our bikes out of our car. Now I realized that was the last time I􀆳d seen my camera. I hadn􀆳t downloaded our Wyoming pictures. They could have been lost forever. There was no name or address on the camera. Who was this Janet? Some detective? I called her back. “How did you find it?” I asked. “How did you find me?” “I recognized your church in a few photos,” she said. “Another photo had a young man wearing a name badge(姓名牌). I phoned the church secretary to connect the dots.” Janet described old photos I thought I􀆳d deleted. But how could she have recognized our church?  “Where are you?” I asked. “Where can I meet you to get the camera?” I didn􀆳t have to travel far. Janet lived just fifteen minutes away—she attended our sister church the next town over. 5.Hearing the message on the answering machine, the author was 　　　　.  A.very excited B.deeply grateful C.pretty annoyed D.greatly surprised 6.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

(三) Customers who come into the Waffle House recognize server Evoni Williams, a soft-spoken 18-year-old from Texas City. It all started with a Facebook post. On the morning of March 3, Laura Wolf was eating breakfast at the Waffle House in La Marque when she overheard an older man, who reminded her of her late father, tell Williams he had trouble with his hands. The man, later identified as regular customer Adrien Charpentier, had an oxygen tank nearby and needed help cutting up his food. “Without hesitation,” Wolf wrote, “Williams took his plate and began cutting up his ham.” Impressed, Wolf posted the moment on her Facebook page to share the warmth and kindness with all. The following day, Williams􀆳 Facebook notification(通知)began to light up. Her friends saw Wolf􀆳s post and tracked her in it. Williams had no idea that someone took a photo that morning. The diner was so busy that a line extended outside the door. She said helping Charpentier was reflexive. She has been working at Waffle House since last June to save for college, and this, she figured, was just the right thing to do. “I would want someone to help my grandmother or grandfather,” Williams said. The post began to make its rounds in La Marque and eventually landed in front of the city􀆳s mayor, Bobby Hocking. He decided to declare March 8 as Evoni Williams􀆳 Day, and also received an e-mail from Texas Southern University President Austin A.Lane, asking if the school could present Williams with a scho
