滚动题组20阅读理解+阅读表达(时间:30分钟总分:35分分数:)滚动题组第22页.阅读理解A(2019全国卷)“You can use me as a last resort(选择),and if nobody else volunteers,then I will do it.” This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids lacrosse(长曲棍球) club.I guess that theres probably some demanding work schedule,or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport.She may just need a little persuading.So I try again and tug at the heartstrings.I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids arent even on. At this point the unwilling parent speaks up,“Alright.Yes,Ill do it.”Im secretly relieved because I know theres real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many.The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule,sends out emails,and collects money for end-of-season gifts.Somewhere along the way,the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team.The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season.Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal.Still,most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close.That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more:Connecting to the community(社区)as you freely give your time,money,skills,or services provides a real joy.Volunteering just feels so good.In that sense,Im pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than Id freely like to admit.However,if others benefit in the process,and I get some reward too,does it really matter where my motivation lies?【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者介绍了自己说服他人参与志愿者工作的经历,论述了志愿者工作的特殊意义。1.What can

of elementary school(小学),I enjoyed sharing my dolls and jokes,which allowed me to keep my high social status.I was the queen of the playground.Then came my tweens and teens,and mean girls and cool kids.They rose in the ranks not by being friendly but by smoking cigarettes,breaking rules and playing jokes on others, among whom I soon found myself.Popularity is a well-explored subject in social psychology.Mitch Prinstein,a professor of clinical psychology sorts the popular into two categories:the likable and the status seekers.The likables plays-well-with-others qualities strengthen schoolyard friendships,jump-start interpersonal skills and,when tapped early,are employed ever after in life and work.Then theres the kind of popularity that appears in adolescence:status born of power and even dishonorable behavior.Enviable as the cool kids may have seemed,Dr.Prinsteins studies show unpleasant consequences.Those who were highest in status in high school,as well as those least liked in elementary school,are “most likely to engage(从事) in dangerous and risky behavior”.In one study,Dr.Prinstein examined the two types of popularity in 235 adolescents,scoring the least liked,the most liked and the highest in status based on student surveys(调查研究).“We found that the least well-liked teens had become more aggressive over time toward their classmates.But so had those who were high in status.It clearly showed that while likability can lead to healthy adjustment,high status has just the opposite effect on us.”Dr.Prinstein has also found that the qualities that made the neighbors want you on a play datesharing,kindness,opennesscarry over to later years and make you better able to relate and connect with others.In analyzing his and other research,Dr.Prinstein came to another conclusion:Not only is likability related to positive life outcomes,but it is also responsible for those outcomes,too.“Being liked creates opportunities for learning and for new kinds of life experiences that help somebody gain an advantage,” he said.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了赢得欢迎度的两种类型及这两种类型对日后生活和成功的影响。结果表明,与人为善,人缘不会差。5.What sort of girl was the author in her early years of elementary

LastB.The Higher the Status,the BetterC.Be the BestYou Can Make ItD.More Self-Control,Less Aggressiveness答案:A解析:主旨大意题。本文分别讲了受欢迎的两种类型可能在社会长远生活中产生的影响。因追求权力和地位而惹人喜爱的人与最不受欢迎的人相仿,他们更倾向于采取冒险举动。因此这种类型更容易给人的发展带来负面影响。最后证实最受欢迎的人能对日后长远生活带来的好处。由此推知,我们要做一个受欢迎的人,这样你在社会交往中不会差。故选A项。.阅读表达Why not take a more measured approach to be a happier,healthier you?From your office to your bedroom to your car,these small changes can have a big impact on your life.Wake up ten minutes earlier.When you start your morning in a hurry,you set a stressful tone for the day.(Im speaking from experience here.) Even ten extra minutes in the morning can help you feel calm,collected,and ready to face the day.Spend five minutes in silence or meditation (冥想).Youll soon realize,whether its in the morning or evening,that five minutes of sitting quietly with your eyes closed seems a lot longer than five minutes.But just this short silence can foster a quietness that carries through the day.When things go off the rails,simply close your eyes and recall that earlier quietness.Walk.Is there one trip youd normally make in the car (to work,the gym,the store) that you can make on foot?Walking saves money (good for you) and gas (good for the environment) and burns calories (around 2,000 steps equal one mile),which is good for your health.Tell someone you love them.Life is never long enough to say this as many times as it should be said,whether to your mother,a friend,or your dog.Make it a habit to tell someone at least once a day that you love him or her.While it may feel strange at first,you will never regret it.Stand (or sit) up straight.Good posture prevents back and neck pain and even builds confidence.When driving,tilt (倾斜) your rearview mirror (后视镜) up a bit.Youll have to sit up to see.At your desk,the top of your computer screen should be at eye level.Put a small cushion in the curve of your lower back,and your spine(脊柱) will become straight.1.What does the text mainly talk about?(no more than 10 words)答案:Some small changes with a big impact./Small changes can make/have a big impact on your life.2.Why is getting up ten minutes earlier in the morning suggested?(no more than 20 words)答案:Because it helps one feel calm and unhurried and get ready to face the day.3.Whats the meaning of the underlined word “foster” in Paragraph 3?(no more than 2 words)答案:Develop./Form.4.What benefits can you get from good posture?(no more than 15 words)答案:Good posture prevents back and neck pain and even builds my confidence.5.Do you like going to school on foot?Why or why not?(no more than 25 words)答案:Yes,I do.Because walking is not only good for my health but also good for the environment.- 7 -
