（2019·辽宁大连一中高二期末）At first glance, Ronny looked like every other kid in the first grade classroom where I volunteered as the Reading Mom.
Every time it was Ronny’s turn to read, he would sit close to me. I watched his fingers move slowly under each letter as he struggled to sound out “Bud the Sub”. It sounded more like “Baw Daw Saw” when he said it because of his speech impediment and his difficulty with the alphabet.
The year passed quickly and Ronny had made some progress but hardly enough to bring him up to grade level. A few weeks before the school year ended, I held an awards ceremony. It took me a while to figure out where Ronny fit; I needed something positive, but there wasn’t really much. I finally decided on “Most Improved Reader.” I presented Ronny with his certificate and a book.
A few days later, I returned to the school to visit. I saw Ronny read the book. His teacher appeared beside me. “He hasn’t put that book down since you gave it to him. It’s the first book he’s ever actually owned.”
Fighting back tears, I approached Ronny and asked, “Will you read me your book, Ronny ” he glanced up and nodded. And then for the next few minutes he read to me with more expression, clarity and ease than I’d ever thought possible for him. When he finished reading, Ronny closed his book and said with great satisfaction, “Good book.”
At that moment, I knew I would get serious about my own writing career and do what the author had done, and probably still does-care enough to write a story that changes a child’s life, care enough to make a difference.
( )1. The underlined word “impediment” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”.
A. style B. anxiety C. disability D. technique
( )2. The author gave a book to Ronny because ______.
A. she wanted to encourage Ronny
B. Ronny had made great progress
C. she knew Ronny didn’t have any books
D. the book could help Ronny improve his reading
( )3. How did the author feel when Ronny read the book to her
A. Proud and curious.
B. Moved and surprised.
C. Satisfied and relieved.
D. Confident and excited.

（2019 . 山东临沂一中高二检测）They are one of the best rugby teams in the world. The players of the All Blacks, New Zealand’s national rugby team, are strong, smart and fast. But, in fact, they win many of their games before the first whistle even blows.
Before the game, during warm-ups, the All Blacks players gather in a semi-circle. They stand with their captain in front of them and begin to dance. They hit their arms against their legs. They lift their feet into the air and slam them onto the ground. They stick out their tongues and show the whites of their eyes. They shout ancient words and even scream. You may think they’re crazy. And that is just what they want you to think.
The rugby players perform the haka，which is a traditional Maori（毛利人）dance. The Maoris are the native people of New Zealand and this dance has been used as a war dance since the 19th century.
Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy. Rugby is a violent game that many fans have compared to war. What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance
The 19th century French theorist Ernest Renan, one of the first real theorists who looked into the idea of nationalism, described the “nation” as “large-scale togetherness, made up of the feeling of sacrifices that one has made in the past and of those that one is prepared to make in the future.”
And New Zealand’s haka is one of the world's most per fect acts of nationalism. “The haka, in its intensity, reflects it all first, the solidarity(团结) of warriors--both of Maoris and non-Maoris backgrounds--fighting for a common future And then a recognition of the almost sacred past,” The Washington Post noted.
Today in New Zealand, the haka is still performed at many different gatherings and celebrations, a connection to Maori ancestors that has continued despite colonization.
( )4. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Maori people, native New Zealanders.
B. The popularity of rugby in New Zealand.
C. A traditional dance goes on today in New Zealand.
D. The magic of warm-ups before rugby matches in New Zealand.
( )5. The underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. threaten B. dissatisfy C. amaze D. revenge
( )6. Why do the All Blacks players perform the haka before a rugby match starts
A. Because they are crazy.
B. Because they want to please their fans.
C. Because it can let them be in high spirits.
D. Because it is a tradition passed from their ancestors.
( )7. What can we learn about the haka from the passage
A. The haka is only performed before rugby matches in New Zealand.
B. The haka is a good way to show nationalism in New Zealand.
C. The haka is a symbol of fighting in the past and future.
D. The haka has helped the New Zealand’s national rugby team win at all times.
C
I had the honour of being elected the chief of my tribe(部落). With the title came great responsibility. It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying, sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. “Kia ora,” he said, welcoming into the woodland home of his people.
My “tribe” was my New Zealand coach tour group，who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka，the war dance immortalized（使不朽）by the All blacks rugby team.
Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal（地热的）area of north Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.
Obviously, this form of it was put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. “The wheels on the bus go round and round,” he got us singing, while he circuited a roundabout three times.
A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete Riding over a ridge, there was-Aotearoa, The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “the land of the long white cloud”. Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa ” You bet I can.
( )8. How were the visitors greeted in the tribe
A. The soldiers made a palm leaf road.
B. The soldiers touched their noses.
C. The soldiers shook sticks fiercely.
D. The soldiers made noise with shut eyes.
( )9. Which refers to the Maori cooking custom
A. Kia ora. B Haka. C. Hangi. D. Tamaki.
( )10. What does the author think of the driver
A. He was good at singing.
B. He made the journey memorable.
C. He was not familiar with the road.
D. He performed well on a TV show.
( )11. What is the best title for the text
A. A taste of Maori culture
B. Hello, New Zealand
C. The honour of being a tribe chief
D. The best of New Zealand

How do you discover your real purpose in life I’m not talking about your job, your daily responsibilities, or even your long-term goals. 16
Perhaps you’re a person who doesn’t believe you have a purpose and believe that life has no meaning. 17 Not believing that you have a purpose won’t prevent you from dis covering it, just as a lack of belief in gravity wont prevent you from tripping
（绊倒）.
18 A martial arts（武术）expert asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”
If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you’ve been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).
19 While there are many ways to do this, here is one of the simplest that anyone can do. The more open you are to this process, the more you expect it to work.
Here’s what to do:
Take out a blank sheet of paper or open up a word processor where you can type.
Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life ”
Write an answer (any answer) that comes into your head. 20 A short phrase is fine.
Repeat the last step until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.
A. It doesn’t matter
B. Here's a story about Bruce Lee.
C. So how to discover your purpose in life
D. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence.
E. I mean the real reason why you live in this world.

Jeremy couldn’t believe his luck.On the morning of his 6th grade field trip to the rose Center for Earth and space at the Museum of Natural History, he fell ill. “This can’t be,” he thought. “Science is my favorite subject, and I’m not going to be able to visit the museum ” He pleaded（恳求）with his parents to let him go to school anyway, but they were firm in their refusal. “The sooner you rest at home the sooner you’ll get better,” his mother said. “Don’t be so hard on yourself. Now take this medicine and go lie back down.”
Jeremy closed his eyes as he swallowed the white tablet Even though it was sunny outside, he felt a black cloud hovering(盘旋) over his head, threatening stormy weather inside his brain and making him angry. But soon after he lay in bed, the medicine his mother had given him began working, and he fell asleep almost right away.
When Jeremy awoke, his room was bathed in darkness. When he looked out of his window, he saw stars shinning in the dark sky. Then Jeremy’s dad walked into his room with a smile on his face. “You’re awake, Jeremy,” he said.
“What time is it Did I miss everything ” Jeremy asked His father put a hand on his forehead and checked for a temperature. Nothing. “Not at all, in fact, you’re just in time for your field trip. If you’re feeling better, that is.” Jeremy jumped out of bed and did a little dance. His energy was back. “I’m feeling fine,” he said. “Great. Now put on a sweater and follow me,” said Jeremy’s dad.
Jeremy checked the time as he was getting dressed. 8: 05 pm. It didn’t make any sense. Where could he possibly be going with his father so late in the day Surely the museum was closed. But Jeremy didn’t slow down. He dressed and met his father in the living room, where he was sitting with a man he had never met before.

9.C细节理解题。根据第三段“Then they pulled our dinner of lamb，beef and vegetables out of the ground.It had been slow cooked in the heat..a Maori tradition known as a hangi...”可知，在地下土炉中烹制食物是毛利饮食传统，这被称为hangi。

本文是一篇说明文，作者告诉我们如何找到生活的目的。
16.E关联逻辑法解题。作者在上文指出：所谓生活的目的，并非每日的工作和职责，甚至是长期的目标这么简单，故本空最有可能是作者所理解的生活的目的，即“我指的是你生存在世的真正原因”。

My hometown is a mountain village covering an area of 10 square kilometres with a history of over 200 years. It has a population of more than 800.

What impresses you most is probably that the air is fresh to breathe. There is a wide variety of food to taste and the local customs are unique. It is a dream place for you to get close to nature.
All guests are welcome and it is worth a visit.

He is a professor of astronomy at Columbia University，where they have an observatory（天文台）,” his father said. “Because you missed your field trip this morning, we’re going to pay a little visit to the observatory tonight so that you can have a field trip of your own. Jeremy couldn’t believe his ears. “I’m ready!” he shouted at his dad.
Paragraph 2:
When they arrived at the observatory, Jeremy’s father called Jeremy over to the front of a huge telescope. Jeremy looked carefully into the telescope and he saw many big bright stars. “That’s amazing,” Jeremy said with great excitement. “You know, Jeremy, maybe when you’re older, you can join our team and help us look for more stars in the sky. Would you be interested ” asked Professor Helfand. “I can’t wait,” Jeremy answered, with a smile on his face as bright as a hundred suns.
