Ⅰ.阅读(2019河北唐山高三一模)
When Kevin Durant gave his tearful MVP speech in 2014,the NBA star made sure to thank one person who had been there with him from the very beginning: his mother.His heartfelt words about the sacrifices she made for Durant and his brother led to a lifetime movie about her journey as a single parent,The Real MVP: The Wanda Durant Story.
Today,the NBA superstar’s mom travels the country as a motivational speaker and philanthropist (慈善家).On Monday,she spoke at Thomson Reuters’ in New York about her personal struggles to achieve financial stability and shared the financial advice she gave her son when he entered the league with CNBC.
“I wanted him to realize he has worked hard,” she says,“And it is OK for him to enjoy himself because of his hard work.But it is also imperative that he prepares for his future.” While she advised him to enjoy the rewards of his labor,she also wanted to make sure that her son knew the importance of financial planning.
She told the audience that when she found herself a single parent to two children at 21,she couldn’t follow the financial principles.Rather than planning for the future,she focused only on how her money could make ends meet for that moment.
Recently,Durant has teamed up with Laurene Powell Jobs for a new philanthropic program called College Track which is aimed at helping disadvantaged kids attend college.As part of the program,Durant has committed to donating $10 million to his hometown’s public school system.
Durant’s mom says that in addition to his financial decisions,she is proud of his philanthropic work and his desire to help the community.“I thought giving back was always very important,and so we talked about that and he had seen that from us as a family and it’s one of the things that I taught him,” she says.

Ⅱ.七选五(2019山东菏泽高三一模)
We automatically assume that as adults,we’re wiser than when we were children.However,actually we can learn a lot from our childhood self.For example,we can learn to develop optimism about the future.Do you remember how excited you used to be just before Christmas?1.
Reintroduce that childlike wonder into our daily experiences.
We can learn to dream big and imagine the impossible.How often have you heard a child say something like “One day,I’m going to be an astronaut”? Our adult minds immediately laugh at this idea and think about all the logical reasons as to why this might never happen.2. We minimize our chances of attaining what we dream about.It is okay to dream big just as our childhood self did.
3. Our childhood self looked at possibilities and believed we could achieve them successfully.If we wanted to build a tree house,we’d go about thinking about how to make it happen instead of focusing on all the reasons it might not happen.In this way we can fill our life with possibilities rather than regrets.
We can learn to be playful and silly sometimes.4. Children spend a large amount of time escaping from reality to mess about and have fun.Make time for your childhood self to come out and play.Run around the garden,wear a silly hat or spend time laughing.5. .
A.Don’t imagine things could go wrong.
B.We can learn to hold a “can do” attitude.
C.That feeling of great joy is hard to beat.
D.Most children tend to think in a positive way.
E.All of these activities can make us feel happy and alive.
F.We employ self-limiting beliefs without even realizing it.
G.All work and no play makes a person very dull and upset.
答案:1-5 CFBGE

Ⅰ.阅读
A
Like many new graduates,I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do.My degree,with honors,in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow,but I had no idea how to do that.That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers.I knew it would be a lot of hard work,and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time.In short,I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly.Neither did my family.
Eventually,however,I won the support of my family,and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application.After countless interviews and presentations,I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.Several months later,I finally received a call asking me to report for duty.I would be going to a small village near Abuja,Nigeria.Where?What?Nigeria?I had no idea.But I was about to find out.
After completing my training,I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation.Though the local villagers were poor,they offered their homes,hearts,and food as if I were their own family.I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse.For the next year or so,I taught in that same
schoolhouse.But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.
Sometime during that period,I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did,though I did not get anywhere with the local language,and I returned to the United States a different man.The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

(2019山东周村实验中学高三上学期期末)
MacDonald paused a moment in front of the burning car.Flames six feet tall poured from the engine,the smell of melting rubber heavy in the air.Inside,the driver was screaming for help.For a few seconds,MacDonald thought about whether the car would explode,killing them both.He thought about how lucky he was to have already just survived a head-on collision between his truck and the red Cobalt now in flames.Was he ready to risk his life to save the man he believed could have ended his?
The two-vehicle collision happened at 3:44 p.m.on Monday south of Newmarket.MacDonald was heading to work when he saw another car swerved into his lane,hitting him head-on.Soon after the collision,the other car burst into flames with the driver trapped inside.MacDonald,25,came to a decision.He would try to save the man’s life.He ran to the car.The driver’s side door was blocked but the passenger door was pushed open by the driver,a 64-year-old man now barely conscious.Hardly noticing the heat,MacDonald opened the door and grabbed the shoulder of the driver’s jacket.He dragged the man about 15 feet before two bystanders came to help him pull the man to a safe distance.Moments later the entire car was on fire.
The police confirmed the other driver was charged with careless driving.MacDonald escaped the crash with whiplash (颈部扭伤),sore
muscles and wrists from the air-bag release,and a headache.The other driver received serious but non-life threatening injuries,said the police.
MacDonald is just grateful that both of them came out alive.“I’m just glad I stood up when I was needed,”said MacDonald.“You only get a couple of chances in your life to prove what you’re made of.”
5.From the passage we know MacDonald is .
A.brave and helpful B.generous but careless
C.grateful and kind D.selfish but careful
6.The accident happened because .
A.there was a car burning B.the rubber was melting

A.found his car was greatly damaged B.doubted whether he should offer help
C.was not hurt in the accident at all D.didn’t realise the danger of rescue
语篇解读:因对方粗心驾驶,MacDonald在开车的时候和另一辆车相撞。受了伤的他看到对方有生命危险时,仍不顾自己的安危救了撞他的司机。
答案及剖析:
5.A 推理判断题。根据文章中的叙述可知,MacDonald不顾危险奋力救人,由此可以推知,他勇敢且乐于助人。
6.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句“The police confirmed the
other driver was charged with careless driving.”可知是另一个司机的粗心驾驶导致了事故的发生。
7.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段第四句中“MacDonald thought about whether the car would explode,killing them both.”以及最后一句“Was he ready to risk his life to save the man he believed could have ended his?”可知,在救人之前MacDonald不确定是否应该救他。
