Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks (艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been an important link between a remote, high-altitude settlement and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Tibet autonomous region is China’s highest township(乡镇). The oxygen level is less than 40 percent and the annual average temperature is –7℃ . However, these weren’t the biggest challenges for a postal service. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no further explanation.
The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. “I don’t mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time,” he says.
One night in February 2019, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. “I will never forget his compassion and kindness,” says the grateful father.
In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.”
18. Which is the most challenging part of Tsering Chopa’s work
A. Trekking for long distances. B. Suffering from cold temperatures.
C. Standing extremely bad road conditions. D. Adapting to the high-altitude environment.
19. What words can best describe Tsering Chopa according to paragraph 2
A. Optimistic and cautious. B. Generous and intelligent.
C. Courageous and ambitious. D. Persistent and responsible.
20. How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering
A. Tsering Chopa fixed his car for free.
B. Tsering Chopa saved his daughter’s life.
C. Tsering Chopa delivered his admission letters quickly.
D. Tsering Chopa drove him to a hospital for treatment.
21. What is the best title for the text

C
The curb cut (下斜路缘). It’s a convenience that most of us rarely if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity (公平). The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity “as a zero-sum game.” Basically, that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.”
There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society—and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle (围成一团以秘密商讨) was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it’s used by every team to shield the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
22. By “might as well have been Mount Everest” (paragraph 3), the disability rights leader implies that a six-inch curb may become ________.
A. as famous as the world’s highest mountain
B. an almost impassable barrier
C. a connection between people
D. a most unforgettable matter
23. According to Angela Blackwell, many people believe that ________.
A. it’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others
B. it’s impossible to have everyone be treated equally
C. it’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled
D. it’s not worthwhile to promote health equity
24. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle
A. Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth.
B. Four great inventions of China spread to the west.
C. Christopher Columbus discovered the new world.
D. Classic literature got translated into many languages.
25. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage
A. Everyday items are originally invented for people with disabilities.
B. Everyone in a society should pursue what is in his or her interest.
C. A disability rights leader changed the life of his fellow men.
D. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.

【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气和时态。句意：马云坚持认为如果一切顺利，就不会有优秀的商人，并坚称他们在困难面前照常前进。insist表示“坚持认为”讲，表示从句内容虽然还不是事实，但非常希望它成为事实，这时宾语从句用“should+动词原形”，should可以被省略的虚拟语气；insist表示“坚称”时，不使用虚拟语气。故and后从句中的谓语也用过去时carried，故选D。
【点睛】虚拟语气在高考命题中不是重点，但是难点。考点常集中在含蓄条件句以及主语、宾语从句等特定句型中虚拟语气的使用上，因此考生应熟练掌握含蓄条件句中主从句的时态要求以及一些典型句型中虚拟语气的具体形式。
12. David apologized for ________ to inform me of the change in the plan.
A. his being not able B. him not to be able
C. his not being able D. him to he not able
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：大卫因未能通知我计划的变化而道歉。空前for是介词，所以空处应用动名词形式作宾语，结合语意，表示没能通知，应用动名词的否定式not being able，前边还可以加上形容词性物主代词或者代词的宾格形式，构成动名词的复合结构。故选C项。
13. All her time _________ experiments, she has no time for entertainment.
A. devoted to doing B. devoted to do
C. devoting to do D. is devoted to doing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：她把她的一生都贡献给了实验，没有时间娱乐。这里逗号后是一个完整的句子，逗号前All her time _________ experiments没有引导词，所以它不是从句；中间是逗号，没有并列连词，也不可能是并列句；句子的主语是she，all her time是所在句子的逻辑主语，与devote是被动关系，所以此处是独立主格结构，再根据devote all one's time to doing意为“把一生贡献给做某事”。故选A。
【名师点睛】
非谓语动词作状语，其逻辑主语须与主句主语保持一致。若不一致，非谓语动词形式须另带主语，从而构成复合结构的形式作状语。这种结构称为“独立结构”。其中，非谓语动词主动用现在分词，被动用过去分词。所以独立主格结构由两部分组成，前一部分是名词或者代词，后一部分是非谓语动词(不定式、现在分词、过去分词)或形容词、副词、名词或介词短语。前后两部分具有逻辑主谓关系。独立主格结构在句中作状语，多用于书面语。独立主格结构本身不是句子，在句子中作状语，表时间、原因、条件、伴随、目的及状态等。如本题即为独立主格结构。
14. Not until I went up further ________ that under the tree ________, obviously sound asleep.
A. that I saw; did a boy lie B. I saw; lay a boy
C. did I see; did a boy lie D. did I see; lay a boy
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查倒装。句意：直到我走得更近，我才看到树下躺着一个男孩，显然他睡得很熟。第一空，Not until位于句首时，其后要进行部分倒装，第二空，地点状语位于句首，其后要进行完全倒装，故D项正确。

Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks (艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. For 18 years, the Tibetan mailman has been an important link between a remote, high-altitude settlement and the rest of the world. At 5,373 meters above sea level, Pumachangthang in Nakarze county of the Tibet autonomous region is China’s highest township(乡镇). The oxygen level is less than 40 percent and the annual average temperature is –7℃ . However, these weren’t the biggest challenges for a postal service. The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no further explanation.
The busiest time for Tsering Chopa is between July and August each year, when students are waiting for their admission letters from various universities. He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. It was summer and the usual road to the village was blocked because of rain. He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. “I don’t mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time,” he says.
One night in February 2019, a local resident Nyima Tsering’s daughter had fainted and desperately needed help. Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village. “I will never forget his compassion and kindness,” says the grateful father.
In 2019, Tsering Chopa received the China Youth May Fourth Medal. “It is an acknowledgment of what I do and a token of encouragement as well,” he says. “And I want to help more people living in remote areas. I want to bring the world closer to them and take them closer to the world.”
18. Which is the most challenging part of Tsering Chopa’s work
A. Trekking for long distances. B. Suffering from cold temperatures.
C. Standing extremely bad road conditions. D. Adapting to the high-altitude environment.
19. What words can best describe Tsering Chopa according to paragraph 2
A. Optimistic and cautious. B. Generous and intelligent.
C. Courageous and ambitious. D. Persistent and responsible.
20. How did Tsering Chopa help Nyima Tsering
A. Tsering Chopa fixed his car for free.
B. Tsering Chopa saved his daughter’s life.
C. Tsering Chopa delivered his admission letters quickly.
D. Tsering Chopa drove him to a hospital for treatment.
21. What is the best title for the text

C. A Postman in Tiebet Bridges Huge Gap D. Post Service Creates a Convenient Life
【答案】18. A 19. D 20. B 21. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。这篇文章讲述了西藏地区一个高海拔的边远乡镇Pumachangthang的邮递员Tsering Chopa在艰苦的条件下长时间跋涉送信的故事。
18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Rain or shine, Tsering Chopa treks (艰苦跋涉) for long hours to deliver mail. (无论晴雨，Tsering Chopa都要长途跋涉好几个小时去投递邮件。)”；“The area of the township is about 1,500 square kilometers, but its population is less than 2,000. The distance from the county town is some 70 km and a single trip to all the six villages can be as long as 160 km. The dogged perseverance required to get the job done under such conditions needs no further explanation.(这个乡镇的面积约为1,500平方公里，但人口不到2,000人。距离县城大约70公里，到所有六个村庄的单程距离可能长达160公里。在这种条件下完成工作所需的坚持不懈是不言而喻的。)”可知，Tsering Chopa到所有六个村庄的单程距离可能长达160公里，因此工作最艰难的部分是需要长途跋涉完成投递送信。故选A。
【19题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“He recalls once he had to deliver mail to one student whose family had already moved away. He had to quiz neighbors several times to find the new address. (他回忆说，有一次他不得不给一个家庭已经搬走的学生送邮件。他不得不询问邻居好几次才找到新地址。)”；“He trekked for more than 20 km and grappled with shortness of breath all the way to finally deliver the letter. (他跋涉了20多公里，一路上呼吸急促，终于把信送到了目的地。)”以及“I don’t mind the hardships because it is not easy for students from remote villages to get college admission. It was my duty to deliver the mail on time(我不介意这些困难，因为对于来自偏远农村的学生来说，获得大学录取并不容易。按时送信是我的职责。)”可知，本段主要讲述了Tsering Chopa长途跋涉，经过多番努力终于把一封信送到了一个家庭已经搬走的学生，同时Tsering Chopa表达说不论困难如何，按时送信是他的工作职责，由此推断出Tsering Chopa是有毅力，有责任心。故选D。
【20题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Knowing that, the mailman arranged for a car right away and sent her to the county hospital. He also gave some cash to the family for the girl’s treatment. Nyima Tsering’s daughter recovered soon, and Tsering Chopa became an idol in the village.( Tsering Chopa知道了，马上安排了一辆车，把她送到了县医院。他还给了女孩的家人一些现金作为治疗费用。Nyima Tsering的女儿很快就康复了，Tsering Chopa也成了村里的偶像。)”可知，Tsering Chopa帮忙救Nyima Tsering女儿的命。故选B。
【21题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述的是这篇文章讲述了西藏地区一个高海拔的边远乡镇Pumachangthang的邮递员Tsering Chopa在艰苦的条件下长时间跋涉送信的故事。C选项“A Postman in Tiebet Bridges Huge Gap(西藏邮差弥合巨大鸿沟)”概括文章的主题，适合文章标题。故选C。
C
The curb cut (下斜路缘). It’s a convenience that most of us rarely, if ever, notice. Yet, without it, daily life might be a lot harder—in more ways than one. Pushing a baby stroller onto the curb, skateboarding onto a sidewalk or taking a full grocery cart from the sidewalk to your car—all these tasks are easier because of the curb cut.
But it was created with a different purpose in mind.
It’s hard to imagine today, but back in the 1970s, most sidewalks in the United States ended with a sharp drop-off. That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. So, activists from Berkeley, California, who also needed wheelchairs, organized a campaign to create tiny ramps at intersections to help people dependent on wheels move up and down curbs independently.
I think about the “curb cut effect” a lot when working on issues around health equity (公平). The first time I even heard about the curb cut was in a 2017 Stanford Social Innovation Review piece by PolicyLink CEO Angela Blackwell. Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity “as a zero-sum game.” Basically, that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.”
There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society—and that benefits everyone. Even the football huddle (围成一团以秘密商讨) was initially created to help deaf football players at Gallaudet College keep their game plans secret from opponents who could have read their sign language. Today, it’s used by every team to shield the opponent from learning about game-winning strategies.
So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us.
22. By “might as well have been Mount Everest” (paragraph 3), the disability rights leader implies that a six-inch curb may become ________.
A. as famous as the world’s highest mountain
B. an almost impassable barrier
C. a connection between people
D. a most unforgettable matter
23. According to Angela Blackwell, many people believe that ________.
A. it’s fair to give the disadvantaged more help than others
B. it’s impossible to have everyone be treated equally
C. it’s necessary to go all out to help the disabled
D. it’s not worthwhile to promote health equity
24. Which of the following examples best illustrates the “curb cut effect” principle
A. Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth.
B. Four great inventions of China spread to the west.
C. Christopher Columbus discovered the new world.
D. Classic literature got translated into many languages.
25. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage
A. Everyday items are originally invented for people with disabilities.
B. Everyone in a society should pursue what is in his or her interest.
C. A disability rights leader changed the life of his fellow men.
D. Caring for disadvantaged groups may finally benefit all.
【答案】22. B 23. B 24. A 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。6英寸长的没有斜坡的路缘对于坐轮椅的人来说“就像珠穆朗玛峰一样”，而当这个问题解决，受益的不仅是坐轮椅的群体，还有我们所有人。这个现象也即是下斜路缘效应，即当社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献，每个人都是赢家。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第二三句“That was a big deal for people in wheelchairs because there were no ramps (斜坡) to help them move along city blocks without assistance. According to one disability rights leader, a six-inch curb “might as well have been Mount Everest”. (这对坐轮椅的人来说是一件大事，因为没有斜坡可以帮助他们在没有帮助的情况下沿着城市街区移动。一位残疾人权益领袖表示，6英寸长的路缘“就像珠穆朗玛峰一样”。)”可知，没有斜坡，6英寸长的路缘对于坐轮椅的人来说是一个几乎无法逾越的障碍。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第三四句“Blackwell rightly noted that many people see equity “as a zero-sum game.” Basically, that there is a “prejudiced societal suspicion that intentionally supporting one group hurts another.” (布莱克威尔正确地指出，许多人将公平视为“零和游戏”。基本上，有一种“有偏见的社会怀疑，故意支持一个群体伤害另一个群体。”)”可知，零和游戏是一方得益一方受损的局面，布莱克威尔指出很多人把下斜路缘的设计认为是零和游戏，也即是认为这是不可能实现的公平。故选B。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段末句“What the curb cut effect shows though, Blackwell said, is that “when society creates the circumstances that allow those who have been left behind to participate and contribute fully, everyone wins.” (然而，布莱克威尔说，下斜路缘效应表明，“当社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献，每个人都是赢家。”)”第五段前三句“There are multiple examples of this principle at work. For example, investing in policies that create more living-wage jobs or increase the availability of affordable housing certainly benefits people in communities that have limited options. But, the action also empowers those people with opportunities for better health and the means to become contributing members of society—and that benefits everyone. (以下是该原则发挥作用的多个例子。例如，投资于能够创造更多生活工资岗位或增加经济适用房供应的政策，肯定会使那些选择有限的社区的人们受益。但是，这项行动还使这些人有机会获得更好的健康，并有办法成为对社会有贡献的成员，这使每个人都受益。)”可知，下斜路缘效应指的是当社会创造条件，允许那些被落下的人充分参与和贡献后，最终会使每个人都受益。结合选项，A项“Spaceflight designs are applied to life on earth. (航天设计应用于地球上的生命。)”涉及到地球上的每一个人，能很好地解释下斜路缘效应。故选A。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“So, next time you cross the street, or roll your suitcase through a crosswalk or ride your bike directly onto a sidewalk—think about how much the curb cut, that change in design that broke down walls of exclusion for one group of people at a disadvantage, has helped not just that group, but all of us. (所以，下次你过马路的时候，或者你把行李箱推过人行横道的时候，或者你骑自行车直接上人行道的时候，想想路沿的下斜，想想这种设计上的改变打破了对处于不利地位的一群人的排斥之墙，不仅帮助了这个群体，而且帮助了我们所有人。)”可知，路沿的下斜不仅帮助了坐轮椅的群体，而且帮助了我们所有人。所以，对弱势群体的关爱最终会让所有人受益。故选D。
