阅读理解（四）故事类
1、Joseph Francis Charles Rock (1884–1962) was an Austrian-American explorer, botanist, and anthropologist(人类学家). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.
In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through China’s southwestern provinces—the Wild West of their day. But gold and silver weren’t his task: Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expedition, he collected 20,000 specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿诺德植物园).
Botany, though, was just one of Rock’s strengths. As an ethnologist(民族学者), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of his travels through China’s “Cho-Ni” territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.
Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writer—Rock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlord’s place “as if he owned the place,” said Lisa Pearson, the

Arboretum’s head librarian.
In declaring his successful return under the headline “Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World”, the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox-skin hat. “In discussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.”
The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortune—about $900,000 in today’s dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories remain.

2、My school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters (水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.
I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration (合作) and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools

高考冲刺必刷专练
plant them.
The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie (大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.
As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.
That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knew that when we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.
(1).What seemed to be the TV directors' first reaction to the garden?
A.They were excited. B.They were surprised.

3、 An Arizona mom says none of her son's kindergarten friends showed up for his birthday party after she sent 32 invitations to his classmates.
The boy, Teddy, held a birthday party on Sunday at Peter Piper Pizza in Tucson, where he and his mother, Sil Mazzini, had expecting dozens of little girls and boys—as well as the children's parents—to join them at the restaurant. Mazzini said a few people told her in advance that they couldn't make it, but she wasn't prepared for everyone to be no-shows.

Mazzini shared a photo of her son sitting alone in front of several pizzas on her social media page. That brought dozens and dozens of birthday wishes from around the country, as well as other gifts and offers.
\"I live near Tampa, Florida, and heard about you via my local news,\" one woman wrote on social media.\" I hope you have a wonderful year and I'm sending you a big hug.\" The biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday night's game at the Talking Slick Resort Arena against the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. The city's professional soccer club, the Phoenix Rising FC, also invited Teddy to join 7,000 of his closest friends at a playoff game on Friday.
But some on social media questioned Mazzini's decision to broadcast her son's humiliating day. \"Don't embarrass this kid even more than he already is,\" one woman wrote on the social networking website. \"This is so wrong.\"

4、 J. K. Rowling turned another year older this week. Born Joanne Rowling, J. K. Rowling is, of course, her adopted pen name. Concerned that young boys might not go for a book written by a woman, her publisher suggested she come up with a pseudonym (笔名). So, upon combining her first initial with the initial of her paternal grandmother, Kathleen, the moniker J. K. Rowling was born.
That's the interesting fact about Rowling, apparently, and she can only fool some of the people some of the time.
Back in 2013, a crime novel appeared on the shelves. It was entitled The
坚持就是胜利！
高考冲刺必刷专练
Cuckoo's Calling, and it was written by Robert Galbraith. According to Galbraith's bio, he spent \"several years with the Royal Military Police\" and the leading character of his novel, a fellow by the name of Cormoran Strike, \"grew directly out of his own experiences and those of his military friends.\" Only, upon further review, he didn't! The book was actually penned by J. K. Rowling, who apparently wanted to try and sell a novel based on complete craftsmanship rather than on her name.
Unfortunately, however, the wife of a partner in the media firm in whom she placed her trust, shared the secret on the social site. Rowling was angry and disappointed concerning the betraying of trust.
I'm not sure whether I would be terribly upset for too long, if I were her. Previous to her being known as the author, Rowling saw her book listed 4,709th on Amazon. After the big revelation, her book jumped all the way to No. 1!
More importantly, I think she got what she wanted. The novel has received nearly universal critical acclaim. Rowling passed her own test with flying colors. Clearly, she's pretty good at her craft!
In any case, I personally look forward to reading her newest writing endeavor.
(1).Why was Joanne Rowling advised to use a male pen name?
A.It was a common practice.

B.Readers didn't like her books any longer.
C.She intended to prove her writing ability.
D.She thought a new name could make her more popular.
(3).What does the underlined word \"acclaim\" in Paragraph 6 mean?

5、 Josh Morrison, 17, dreamed of raising $100,000 to build a home for a low-income family. After years of hard work, his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.
Six years ago,Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore, a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink.

\"I didn’t care how long it took me,” Josh said. “I would raise $ 100,000.\" With three weeks left, a company called Josh’s house, offering to donate $18,000. Eventually, Josh reached a total of $ 124,000 before his deadline. \"The momentum just kept going, and we decided to do more,” he said. \"Josh's Fenny House\" is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new

6、 My family lived in Triumph, Idaho, the USA, an old mining town with a population of 33. All of the kids at my age were boys. People of all ages always looked out for me, but they also brought me some embarrassment.
I was born at home. The doctor overseeing my arrival was a family friend. Dad had then been a soldier serving in the navy and figured we should save some money.
At first, my parents didn't have a name for me. My name on my birth
certificate still read Baby Girl. And that’s what they called me until I was almost 4. When they planned our first train trip to Mexico for vacation, we needed passports, which made it easier to come up with a name. My father liked the sound of Picabo, an old Native American settlement in the south. My mother and father agreed on Picabo.
As a child, I was afraid of the dark, but it was manageable. Another fear was the Rhode Island Red. Each time I went out to the hen house to get eggs, he always pecked(啄) me as if I had stolen the eggs laid by his lover. I began carrying a stick to keep him away. However, he was always following me. Later we became good

friends. I also liked playing hide-and-seek with him.
Our house was one of four that stood next to each other on an upper street in town. It was a one-story white cottage with no basement and no foundation, but Dad dug a cellar(地窖). All of our heat came from a wood-burning stove, where our food was cooked over an open flame. Both of my parents were great cooks.

7、 There're always some stories in the life that can hardly be forgotten and will restore our hope for holidays every time we recollect(回忆起).
Johnny and I, along with our two young sons, Barry and Doyle, lived in a village in southern Alabama in 1979. We had bought the boys a bicycle for the New Year, and had hidden it in the garage, where Johnny would assemble(组装) it on New Year’s Eve after the kids fell asleep. But that day, Johnny had to go to Brookley Air Force Base in Mobile, an hour away, to repair a jet. I had my hands busy with baking, preparing for holiday dinner and caring for two energetic boys.
Just as I was making the chocolate cake, a neighbor knocked on the door. Beatrice was the only person on our road with a telephone.

高考冲刺必刷专练
base had called to say that a heavy tool had come apart suddenly, hitting Johnny’s arm and breaking the bone. My brother Otto took me to the base hospital while my mother stayed with the children.
We got there to find Johnny with a cast on his arm, raring to get home regardless of the doctor’s orders. It was New Year’s Eve, Johnny argued, and he had the bike to assemble for his boys. The doctor said he'd consider dismissing him the next morning if Johnny could find someone to drive him home. On New Years morning, Johnny called the base and was told everyone was off duty; there was no one to drive him home. Then he tried the motor pool. They said orders would have to come from someone higher up, so Johnny kept making calls. At last, a big blue car with the Air Force sign rolled up.
I was putting dinner on the table when hearing the car. We were thrilled to see Johnny assisted by a uniformed Air Force officer. With Otto’s help, Johnny assembled the boys’ gift, and they all had a good time that afternoon. Our hearts were full of gratitude to the people who had gone the extra mile to bring us together.

8、 A newly married woman called Gilleece, saying she lost her wallet at his bar with her wedding ring inside. Gilleece looked through camera videos, watching the woman’s every step in the bar until she went to sit on a bench outside and left when her ride arrived. Then a young man approached the bench and put something in his pocket. Gilleece posted several pictures on the bar’s Facebook page, asking if anybody knew the guy.
Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Prather. Prather admitted having taken the wallet because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He said he saw the
坚持就是胜利！

ring but just took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks(码头) into the ocean.
Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the bar. There, Prather said that, not getting along with his family, he had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece saw him as a kid rather than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could face prison. Gilleece planned to employ two divers to search for it. Meanwhile, the police wanted Gilleece to bring the teen to the station. He called them and said,” He’s going to be at the docks with me tomorrow.”
The next day a crowd gathered to watch the two divers search in the waters Prather mentioned. Finally a diver appeared with the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers burst from the crowd. The wallet’s owner immediately dropped the charges against Prather. But troubled by Prather sleeping in the cold woods, Gilleece told the teen he could stay with him and his family until he stood on his own feet. He also gave the kid a job at his bar.
“Most people would have given the videos to the police, but he chose to help me,\" Prather told CBS News.
