题组二 记叙文
A
(2018·天津高考)When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay.She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum.She asked, “Do you have the address?” “No, but I’ll recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine.”
“Oh, stop.There it is!”
The museum was free.We entered, excited.A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
“May I help you?” a man asked.“No,”I said.“We’re fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren’t that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.What was their problem? I saw some nice sculptures in one room.Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me.“Where do you think you are?” he asked.I turned
sharply.“The McNay Art Museum!”He smiled, shaking his head.“Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “What’s this place?” I asked, still confused.“Well, it’s our home.” My heart jolted (震颤).I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately!”
“There’s some really good stuff (艺术作品 ) up there.”She stepped down, looking confused.I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing.She couldn’t believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there.Van Gogh, Picasso.This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unusual happened.
Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place.“Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago,thinking it was the McNay Museum?” “Yes.But how do you know? We never told anyone.”
“That was my home.I was a teenager sitting in the hall.Before you came over, I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.I never felt lucky before.You thought it was a museum.My feelings about my home changed after that.I’ve always wanted to thank you.”
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文。作者17岁的时候和好友去博物馆,结果误闯民宅,30年后,这家的一位成员认出了作者并感谢作者让她意识到自己家的美。 1.What do we know about Marian McNay? A.She was a painter.
B.She was a community leader. C.She was a museum director. D.She was a journalist.
答案 A [细节理解题。第一段说,McNay是水彩画家(watercolorist),她要求社区在她死后把她曾经居住的地方改成博物馆,由此判断她是个画家。] 2.Why did the author refuse the help from the man in the house? A.She disliked people who were nosy.
B.She felt nervous when talking to strangers. C.She knew more about art than the man. D.She mistook him for a tour guide.
答案 D [推理判断题。根据题干信息,我们把答案定位在第四段。作者和朋友来到这个博物馆,然后有人询问是否需要帮助的时候,作者说导游让她紧张,从这些信息判断,作者误以为这个人是导游,因此选D。]
3.How did the author feel about being stared at by the people in the hall? A.Puzzled. C.Frightened.
B.Concerned. D.Delighted.
答案 A [推理判断题。根据题干的“被大厅里的人盯着看”判断,本题答案在第四段。该段说,当作者发现大厅里的人似乎都喜欢窥探,都好奇地盯着自己的时候,心想,“他们这是怎么了”(What was their problem)。从这些信息推断选A,作者对此十分困惑。]

C.The McNay was disappointing compared with the house. D.The event happening in the house was more significant.
答案 D [推理判断题。第六段说作者和朋友来到真正的McNay博物馆,但是她们一直觉得紧张,害怕又出现先前那种不同寻常的事。由此推断,她们一直想着先前误闯他人的家的事,因此选D。]
5.What could we learn from the last paragraph? A.People should have good taste to enjoy life. B.People should spend more time with their family. C.People tend to be blind to the beauty around them. D.People tend to educate teenagers at a museum.

(2018·山东德州高三一模)
The summer before my dad died,we moved house.Up until that point,our family had our own space to spread out.Money was tight,so there was no television set,but we owned a turntable on which my dad’s records played constantly.Mostly,it played Bob Dylan.Tracks from The Basement Tapes and Desire became an important part of our new life.My brother and I,aged 8 and 10,climbed trees,built hideaways and learned the words of Clothes Line Saga.We would chant over and over,lost in our own joy.
It was January when my dad left us forever because of the cancer.He was 36 going on 37 then,the same age as Dylan.Afterwards,our laughter disappeared,but we kept on playing the records,which became our only ritual of remembrance.The two men became so intertwined in my head,I struggled to tell them apart.
Dylan was my dad’s gift to me.What child wouldn’t be fascinated by songs full of pirates and seasick sailors? How did it feel to have No direction home? Farewell,Angelina became my party-piece.I would sing this at church cheese and wines to the assembled audience.A lot of donations were made.
Growing up,I remained a fan of the music,but I wasn’t obsessed with Dylan until one day in early 1995,my brother bought us both tickets to see him play at Brixton Academy.London felt like a long way to go.But finally seeing Dylan step out on to the stage brought a sudden rush of excitement.
I have seen Dylan a couple of times since.My brother is not around so much these days.But he was up for a visit recently.We passed a happy evening laughing an drinking,while his son,aged nine,performed his party-piece Subterranean Homesick Blues for us.He sang it word-perfect.And so it goes on:Dylan’s music as a gift,passed down the generations.
【语篇解读】 作者讲述了对Bob Dylan的喜欢和热爱,及Bob Dylan对自己家三代人的影响。
6.What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A.To praise his late father.
