【2019·新课标 I】For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right
now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of
kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation
difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support.
“…Vote for …me …” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice
conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls(回想起) how at
the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you
make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as
their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’ ”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise
their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about
more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the
classroom not feeling confident.”

【2019·天津卷】I must have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a
child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I
was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the
newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and
know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be
reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It
seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors.
When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading
raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so
that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to
make A’s on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading. I
liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Yet, now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself
needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious
world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write down what happened
or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of my life.
Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.

A．her unique way to locate herself

D．her growing desire to know the world around her
7．What was the author’s view on factual reading?
A．It would help her update test-taking skills.
B．It would allow much room for free thinking.
C．It would provide true and objective information.
D．It would help shape a realistic and serious attitude to life.
8．The author takes novel reading as a way to ________.

【2019 届湖南省株洲市高三质量统一检测】A while back I caught a news report on something called couch
surfing and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of
charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one’s home for
one or two nights? Give me a break.
However, I was intrigued. I decided to find it out. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive
in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I’ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.
If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train
station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue-eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously
reserved(寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me a warm welcome and walking with me to
his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also
handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.
If this was what couch surfing was all about—trust and friendship—then I had gotten off to a good start. As I
boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch-surfing idea. What encouraged these
people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like-minded folks who
might enrich their own lives.
Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it’s this: Most people
are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can’t wait to find out.
模 拟 精 做1．Which of the following best explains the underlined word in the second paragraph?

2．What can we know about Ari?

D．He saw off the author at the train station.

A．To take an adventure with strangers.
B．To exchange houses for a short time.
C．To learn more about others’ family lives.
D．To enrich their own lives by helping others.
4．What can be the best title for the text?

【2019届山东省潍坊市高三5月三模】When Randy Heiss went hiking behind his Patagonia, Ariz farm, the last
thing he expected to find was a Christmas list from a little girl across the US-Mexico border. “I found this balloon on
my morning walk near Patagonia on Sunday. Attached to it was a piece of paper with the Christmas wishes from a little
girl,” Heiss wrote on his Facebook page.
When he brought the list home to his wife, who speaks fluent Spanish, they determined that the little girl had asked for Enchantimals toys, clothes, art supplies and various other gifts. That's when Heiss set out to make the little girl's
Christmas dreams come true. Heiss said he had attempted to send Christmas letters to Santa Claus via balloon when he
was a kid but never received a response.
Heiss sent a Facebook message on Wednesday to XENY, a radio station in Nogales, to see if it could help him
track down the girl or her family. He later received a response from the station, which had determined the author of the
letter was an 8-year-old girl named Dayami, and the station wanted to set up a meeting between the two on Thursday.
“It just changed my entire day,” Heiss told the Washington Post. “Instead of going back to my office in Bisbee, I went
with my wife to Walmart. “
The couple bought almost everything on Dayami's list. They also brought a few gifts for Dayami's little sister,
Ximena. They told the children they were “ayudantes de Santa,” or Santa's helpers.
Heiss, 60, said the experience was very healing for him and his wife. Nine years ago, the couple's only son died.
“Being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives,” Heiss said. We now have friends for life. For a
day, that border fence with its concertina wire melted away.
5．How did Dayami send out her Christmas wishes?
A．By calling Heiss. B．By attaching them to a balloon.
C．By writing to a radio station. D．By sending a Facebook message.
6．When did Heiss know what the girl exactly wanted?
A．After the help of his wife.
B．When he found the balloon.
C．After their meeting in America.
D．When he got a response from the radio station.
7．What might make Heiss decide to fulfill the little girl's Christmas wishes?
A．His son's will.
B．The girls request for help.
C．His similar unsuccessful experience.D．His desire to make friends with the girl.
8．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The couple got out of the pain completely.
B．The experience was a great relief to the couple.
C．The couple would help more children from Mexico.
D．There will be no border between countries one day.

【2019 届山东省菏泽市高三一模】The morning after an evening struggle to care for my three-year-old
daughter, I couldn’t wait to get her to school. I, as a mother, was tired from the anger and her inability to communicate
because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She’d been born around the
same time when the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession. My job and my house had been victims.
Then this happened. My child’s language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly help her, I felt like we
both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left. Walking slowly toward the
school’s playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.
“You should have seen her today!” His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn’t interrupt. “See that
climber.” He pointed to a wooden piece of playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. “Well, every
day since she started school, she’s tried and failed to make it to the top.” He took a breath. “And today she did it!”
He expressed his joy just as he’d witnessed her conquering Mount Everest! “She cheered and celebrated! I wish
I’d recorded it!” His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.
As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn’t before. I saw her perseverance(毅力). I saw her strength. I
saw a Hero.
