(2020·全国I卷)Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的),an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔)about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
4. Why does the author like rereading
A. It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.
B. It’s a window to a whole new world.
C. It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.
D. It extends the understanding of oneself.
5. What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A. It’s a brief account of a trip.
B. It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.
C. It’s a record of a historic event.
D. It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.
6. What does the underlined word “currency” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Debt.
B. Reward.
C. Allowance.
D. Face value.
7. What can we infer about the author from the text
A. He loves poetry.
B. He’s an editor.
C. He’s very ambitious.
D. He teaches reading.

(2018·全国II卷)Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.
While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.
According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion(比例)who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today.”
The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2—8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.
When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议)parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.
The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.
As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(追近)ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.
8. What is the Common Sense Media report probably about
A. Children’s reading habits.
B. Quality of children’s books.
C. Children’s after-class activities.
D. Parent-child relationships.
9. Where can you find the data that best supports “children are reading a lot less for fun”
A. In paragraph 2.
B. In paragraph 3.
C. In paragraph 4.
D. In paragraph 5.
10. Why do many parents limit electronic reading
A. E-books are of poor quality.
B. It could be a waste of time.
C. It may harm children’s health.
D. E-readers are expensive.
11. How should parents encourage their children to read more
A. Act as role models for them.
B. Ask them to write book reports.
C. Set up reading groups for them.
D. Talk with their reading class teachers.
D
(2020·全国 II 卷)I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library.
My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old. It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time.
As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源)of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them.
I always read, using different voices, as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it! It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books.
Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on from generation to generation.
As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港)for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为)and I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can.
12. Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child
A. Cooperative.
B. Uneasy.
C. Inseparable.
D. Casual.
13. What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. Pleasure from working in the library.
B. Joy of reading passed on in the family.
C. Wonderment from acting out the stories.
D. A closer bond developed with the readers.
14. What does the author call on other writers to do
A. Sponsor book fairs.
B. Write for social media.
C. Support libraries.
D. Purchase her novels.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Reading:A Source of Knowledge
B. My Idea about Writing
C. Library:A Haven for the Young
D. My Love of the Library

(2020 新高考全国 I 卷)Some individuals are born with a gift for public speaking. 16 Do you want to be a good public speaker Here are some principles you must master.
People want to listen to someone who is interesting, relaxed and comfortable. Too often, when you stand up to give a speech, you focus on the “public” at the expense of the “speaking.” 17 Focus on the speaking. Talk directly to your audience, be yourself and make a connection.
Even the most successful public speaker will make mistakes. Yet, the only one who cares about any mistake is the one who is speaking. People’s attention wanders constantly. In fact, most people only absorb about 20 percent of a speaker’s message. So, don’t stop speaking when you make a mistake unless it’s a truly serious one. 18
Your goal is not to be a perfect public speaker. 19 And like everything else in life, that takes practice. Remember, even world champion athletes practice their skills on a consistent basis.
20 It’s rare to hear someone say, “I wish that speaker had spoken longer." On the other hand, you probably can’t count the times that you’ve thought, “I’m glad that talk is over. It seemed to go on forever!” So surprise your audience. Always make your presentation just a bit shorter than anticipated. It’s better to leave your listeners wishing for more than shifting restlessly in their seats waiting for your speech finally to end.
A. Do the opposite.
B. You want to be an effective public speaker.
C. You don’t need to apologize for a minor slip.
D. When it comes to public speaking,less is usually more.
E. The objective of most speeches is to benefit the audience.
F. Take the fear out of public speaking by focusing on your listeners.
G. However, the majority of people are effective speakers because they train to be.

(2020·全国 I 卷改编)Since our twins began learning to walk, my wife and I have kept telling them that our sliding glass door is just a window. The 21 is obvious.

I wonder if parents should always tell the truth no matter the 27 . I have a very strong fear that the lie we’re telling is doing 28 damage to our children.

Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear. But the 33 is that I shouldn’t lie to my kids. I should just 34 repeatedly having to say, “No. We can’t go outside now.” Then when they come to other doors in life, be they real or metaphorical, they won’t 35 to open them and walk through.

Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary
It’s not all that hard to build an advanced and large vocabulary. Like many things in life, it’s 36 ongoing process, and the best part of the process is that there’s enough room for improvement, 37 means you’ll just keep getting better and better. Of course you have to work at it. You wouldn’t think that a few 38 (month) of exercise in your teens would be enough 39 the rest of your life, and that’s also true for building your vocabulary—you have to keep at it daily, and pretty soon you will find that you have an excellent vocabulary.
One of the 40 (effect)ways to build vocabulary is to read good books. You need to 41 (real) read at least one good book a week, preferably a classic. This isn’t as hard as it 42 (sound), and it is far better than any other method because you improve your vocabulary while 43 (read) an interesting piece of literature. Another nice thing is that you learn both new words and 44 (they) use unconsciously, meaning that you will tend to use the words 45 (learn) this way in conversations almost automatically.

(2021·河北省“五个一名校联盟”高三二模)I couldn’t even sort through the first box of our dog Bama, s toys without bursting into tears. My husband, Alan, found me sitting on the floor, holding our dog’s favorite toy. He gently pulled me to my feet. “It’s okay, Lisa,” he said. “I’ll put these away. Why don’t you go outside and get some air ”
I nodded.
It was a few months since our beloved Bama had passed away. Alan and I didn’t have children. Our boxer(拳师狗)was our baby. After Bama’s death, we couldn’t bring ourselves to go through his toys to decide what to keep. I told myself I’d do it when I was ready. Apparently, I still wasn’t.
Now I sat on my front porch (门廊)and sobbed. Friends and family had suggested we get another dog, but Alan and I dismissed the idea. We couldn’t go through that kind of heartbreak again.
I gazed out over the yard. Across the street was a dog. A boxer Was he real or just my wishful imagination I blinked. The boxer was still there. We locked eyes. He came across the street, straight toward me. Hesitantly, I offered my hand. He sniffed it eagerly and then he licked(舔)me. I let out a surprised laugh. He pushed his head into my lap to be petted.
This dog was younger than Bama, smaller. He was well- fed and well-dressed. He wore a collar but had no ID. I knew he must belong to someone in the neighborhood, but I’d never seen another boxer around. I would have remembered if I had.
“Where did you come from ” I asked the dog, scratching him behind the ears.
He just sat there at ease. He didn’t seem lost. Just as if he were dropping by for a visit.
“Alan!” I called. “You have to come to see this!”
Alan joined me, and we sat together in surprise for a moment. Then the boxer got up and slowly ran off.
The next day, there was a strange scratching at the door.

参考答案:
[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文,介绍了诗歌挑战赛参赛作品的要求、奖励及规则等。
1. A 细节理解题。根据第二段中 “Trip to Washington, D.C. for each of three winners, a parent and one other person of the winner’s choice.(对三个获奖者中的每一人来说,到华盛顿哥伦比亚特区的旅行可以选择带父母中的一人和另外一个人)”可知,特等奖获得者可以带两个人,故答案为A。
2. C 细节理解题。根据第四段中will each receive a T-shirt可知,每一个荣誉奖获得者可以得到一件T恤衫,故答案为C。
3. B 推理判断题。根据Rules部分中第二句“Write a poem using 100 words or fewer.(用100个或更少的单词写一首诗)”可知,B项“写一首120词的诗”是不合格的。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。随着时间的流逝,人会变,但书不会变。作者认为重读自己喜欢的书能够进一步加深对自己的认识。
4. D 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register.”可知,作者认为重新阅读之美在于我们与书之间的纽带是建立在我们当下的精神状态基础之上的。据此可以推断重读一本书能够了解自己当下的精神状态,从而加深对自己的认识。
5. B 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris.” 可知,A Moveable Feast 这本书是一本回忆录。再根据第三段第四句“...an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time.” 可知,书中年老的作者回顾了雄心勃勃且更单纯的青年时光。
6. B 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的“...while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them.”可知,作者认为尽管钱是对作家的回报,但是重读一本书才是读者对作家最高的回报。由此判断出画线词指的是reward(回报)。debt债务;allowance津贴; face value 面值。
7. A 推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight:Selected Poems,because poetry.” 可知,作者就是因为第三本书是诗歌才反复阅读它,据此可以推断作者喜欢诗歌。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇议论文。一份调查报告显示,尽管阅读在很多孩子的生活中仍然是很重要的一部分,但是进行趣味性阅读的青少年人数在减少。要想改变这种状况,父母应该在阅读方面起示范作用,成为重要的引导者。
8. A推理判断题。关于题干提到的这份报告,第二、三段说孩子们的趣味性阅读减少了,几乎不进行趣味性阅读的人数增加了,第五、六段提到电子书的阅读以及父母的榜样作用,从这些信息推断,这份报告研究的内容是孩子们的阅读习惯,因此选 A项。
9. B 推理判断题。第三段说几乎不进行趣味性阅读的孩子的人数比例上升了,因此这一段说的是孩子们趣味性阅读的情况减少了。这与题干中的“孩子们趣味性阅读的情况减少了”相吻合, 因此选B项。
10. C推理判断题。第五段提到科技产品与阅读的关系,说这份报告几乎没有建议父母去了解电子读物和平板电脑对阅读的影响,但是提到许多父母因为注意到孩子看屏幕的时间在不断增加,就对电子书的阅读进行限制。从这些信息看,父母这样做的原因是从孩子的身心健康方面去考虑的,因此选C项。
11. A推理判断题。关于父母怎样鼓励孩子多读书,第六段说,在阅读方面父母能给孩子树立榜样’成为重要的引导者,并且指出,读书多的孩子,他们的父母经常阅读,还给孩子留出读书的时间。由此推断选A “成为他们的榜样”。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。作者从小热爱读书,与图书馆结下了不解之缘,16岁时又去图书馆工作,长大为人母后又把这种对读书的爱传给自己的孩子。作为一名小说家,她鼓励自己的读者去图书馆,因为她看到了图书馆的特殊意义。
12. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me...”可知,儿童时代的作者对阅读很“热衷”(enthusiastic )。cooperative 合作的;uneasy 不自 在的;casual随意的。而与enthusiastic意思相近的是C项: inseparable (不可分割的,不可分离的)。
13. B 推理判断题。根据new和added可判断,画线词所隐含的意思应该从下文推断。通过下文的描述可知,作者的几个孩子也爱上了读书,他们经常去图书馆读书,因此图书馆于作者而言又多了一重含义,那就是作者已经把这种读书的快乐传递给了家人,故选B项。
14. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“...I think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can.” 可知,作者号召其他作家支持图书馆。sponsor book fairs赞助书展,write for social media 给社交媒体写文章,purchase her novels 购买 她的小说,这三个选项明显不符合作者的意图。
15. D标题归纳题。通读全文可知,作者从一开始的点题到最后的深化主题都是围绕自己对图书馆的热爱展开的。一开始自己爱去图书馆借书,然后在图书馆工作,带孩子去图书馆读书,最后号召大家支持图书馆。此题易选C项。因为选项中有本文的文眼library,而且原文中提到了I see libraries as a safe haven for readers and writers,但是作者并没有针对年轻人,而且作者从头至尾都是在写自己和图书馆的渊源。C项只是作者的一种态度和看法,作为题目太主观。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。有些人是天生的演说家,但大多数人能成为有影响力的演说家,是因为他们受过训练。文章就如何成为一名出色的演说家给出了一些建议。
16. G关联逻辑法解题。上句提到“一些人生来就有公开演讲的天赋”,与此承接的语意应该是另一些人则要经过后天培训,故选G项“然而,大多数人能成为有影响力的演说家,是因为他们受过训练”。G项中的“the majority of people (大多数人)” 对应上句的 “some individuals (一些人)”,“train to be (训练成为)”对应上句的“are born with (与生俱来)”。
17. A关联逻辑法解题。前面一句说的是“当你站起来发表演讲时,大多数情况下你关注的是公众,却牺牲了演讲”。言外之意, 作者认为演讲者应关注演讲本身而不是公众,故选A项“反过来做”。F选项虽然也提到要关注“听众”,但是选项中的“the fear”在前文中没有提到,因此排除。
18. C关联逻辑法解题。前文说的是“即使最成功的演说家也会犯错……所以,除非错误非常严重,否则犯了错也不要停止演讲”。由此可推断设空处应该与“犯错”有关,故选C项“你没有必要为小错误道歉”。a minor slip (小错误)与前文的a mistake为同义替换。
19. B关联逻辑法解题。由前句“你的目标不是成为一名完美的演说家”可以锁定B、E两项。但后句“就像生活中的其他一切事情一样,这需要练习”中有关键词“that”,因此空格处应提及 “that”指代的内容,故选B项“你想成为一名有影响力的演说家”,这是需要加以练习的。
20. D设题位置法解题。空后提到“很少听到有人会说:‘我希望演讲者能讲得更久一些’”另外,本段还给出了建议“总是让你的演讲比预期的稍短一点”,由此可知,位于本段段首的空格处应与缩短演讲时间有关。D项“说到公开演讲,通常越少 就是越多”符合段落主题。这里的“less”指的是“less time”, “more”指的是 “more benefits”或者 “more gains”。
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。为了阻止刚刚学步的双胞胎多次请求打开门出去的行为,作者和他的妻子一直对孩子谎称,那不是一扇门而是一扇窗户。但后来作者却担心,如果总是对孩子说谎,是否会对孩子今后的人生产生负面的影响呢?
21. C上下文语境题。上文提到作者和他的妻子对孩子谎称那扇推拉门只是一扇窗户,下文说如果告诉他们那是门,他们就会想从那里出去,这暗示空格处是解释原因(reason )。relief宽慰, 缓和;target目标,靶子;case箱子,情况,案例。
22. B上文语境题。根据上文并结合常理可知,如果承认那是门,孩子们就会不断地(constantly)想从那里出去。gradually逐渐地; temporarily 暂时地;casually 随便地。
23. D下文语境题。根据but可知前后语意存在转折,孩子们很明显知道真相(truth),但作者和妻子坚持说那是窗户。
24. D上文语境题。根据上文可知,孩子们还没从这里出去,此处表示作者和妻子坚持说那是窗户,阻止了孩子们无数次试图(attempt)开门的请求。
25. C下文语境题。根据空格后的discover可知,此处表示总有一天孩子们会醒悟过来(wake up ) win out终于成功;give up放弃; stand out突出,显眼。
26. B上下文语境题。根据本段第一句中的lying以及下一段第二句中的the lie可知,此空应填lie(谎言)。
27. D上文语境题。此句意为“我想知道父母是否应该不顾后果(consequence )总是说实话”。restriction 限制;explanation 解释; difference 差别。
28. C下文语境题。下文说父母的说谎行为会让孩子们面对机会时犹豫不前。由此可知,作者担心谎言会对孩子们造成精神 的(spiritual)伤害。physical物理学的,身体的;biological生物的;behavioral行为的。
29. B下文语境题。根据下文把门比喻成某种机会可判断,此句表示窗户和门都有重要的(important )比喻意义。traditional传统的;double两倍的;original原来的。
30. A下文语境题。根据最后一段中的in life可知,此处是指作者担心对孩子说谎会对孩子以后的人生(life)产生负面影响。
31. D 下文语境题。根据下文中的wonder, “What if it isn’t a door ”可知,作者担心孩子们在以后的人生中遇到机会时,他们能否打开机会那扇门。此处表示他们只是想“如果它不是一扇门该怎么办呢?”而不是(instead of)打开门并抓住机会。by comparison with 与……比较;in addition to 除……之外(还); regardless of 不管,不顾。
32. B上下文语境题。根据空格前的just和空格后的wonder可知,他们只是盯着(stare at )机会这扇门并表示怀疑。get hold of 抓住;knock on敲(门、窗等);make use of利用,使用。
33. C 上下文语境题。根据空格前的“Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear.”以及空格后的I shouldn’t lie to my kids可知,或许作者 的担心是不合理的,但底线(bottom line )是不能对孩子说谎。 safety rule安全规则;comfort zone舒适区;top secret最高机密。
34. D上下文语境题。作者认为自己应该接受(accept )这件事——不停地告诉孩子们现在不能出去,而不是骗他们说那是一扇窗户。
35. C上文语境题。如果孩子们从小没有受到谎言的“熏陶”,那么他们在生活中遇到别的门(机会)时就会毫不犹豫(hesitate )地打开并走过去。
[语篇解读]本文为一篇事理性说明文。文章主要讲述了扩大词汇量并不是短期内就能实现的,需要你每天做出努力,并给出了扩大词汇量的一个有效方法。
36. an考查冠词。分析句法结构可知,空格后的中心词process为名词,且其前面的ongoing为形容词,所以填不定冠词an。
37. which考查非限制性定语从句。分析句法结构可知,空格处在从句中作主语,且指代前面整个主句内容,故填which。
38. months考查名词复数。根据空格前的a few可推断出空格处用 month的复数形式months。
39. for考查介词。分析句法结构可知,此处需填介词,意为“对于”,故填for。
40. effective 考查词性转换之名词变形容词。空格处修饰名词 ways,所以填effect的形容词形式effective。
41. really考查词性转换之形容词变副词。此处修饰动词read,故用 real的副词形式really。
42. sounds 考查时态。文章的主体时态为一般现在时,且空格处的主语为it,所以此处用sound的第三人称单数形式sounds。
43. reading考查非谓语动词。分析句法结构可知,此处是while引导的状语从句的省略,故填reading。
44. their考查形容词性物主代词。分析句法结构可知,空格后面的use是名词,所以填they的形容词性物主代词their。
45. learned 考查过去分词作定语。words与learn之间为被动关系, 故填learn的过去分词作后置定语,修饰words。

The winter vacation will last for about 20 days, which is an ideal period for both study and relaxation. So most of the time I will be devoted to studying, reading and having fun with my friends. Meanwhile, the Spring Festival will be celebrated. I’ll enjoy the get-together with my families and relatives, as well as visiting the elderly people living alone in my neighborhood.
What about you Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 One possible version:
The next day,there was a strange scratching at the door. I opened it and found my unexpected guest—the mystery boxer, who seemed to still remember me. He came over lightly and licked my hand, as if trying to erase my painful memories. Seeing him follow me from room to room,I gradually felt the ache in my heart lessen. I suddenly realized that I could pass Bama’s favorite toys to my guest. So each day I would stand at the front door, waiting for the happy moment when my guest came and played with the toys.
A week later, a young man I’d never seen before came in to visit. The man said his family had just moved to the neighborhood. He asked me if I happened to see a dog, a boxer recently. I said “Yes!” and told him actually “my guest” had been paying me regular visits. He looked embarrassed and then apologized for the trouble his dog caused for me. I told him there was no need to apologize and actually he was a big help in working through my grief. It has been three years since that day. Now Bama’s toys don’t just sit in the room, gathering dust.
