war injury has made his left hand stop functioning,and he has often been in prison.Driven by heaven-knows-what motives,he determines to write a book.The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years.That former prisoner was Cervantes,and the book was DonQuixote(堂吉诃德).And the story poses an interesting question:why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days,while others go to seed long before?Weve all known people who run out of steam before they reach lifes halfway mark.Im not talking about those who fail to get to the top.We cant all get there.Im talking about people who have stopped learning or growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.Most of us,in fact,progressively narrow the variety of our lives.We succeed in our field of specialization and then become trapped in it.Nothing surprises us.We lose our sense of wonder.But,if we are willing to learn,the opportunities are everywhere.The things we learn in maturity seldom involve information and skills.We learn to bear with the things we cant change.We learn to avoid self-pity.We learn that however much we try to please,some people are never going to love usan idea that troubles at first but is eventually relaxing.With high motivation and enthusiasm,we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However,we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我),whether to loved ones,to fellow humans,to work,or to some moral concept.Many of us equate(视等同于)“commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellencewhether they are driving a truck,or running a storemake the world better just by being the kind of people they are.Theyve learned lifes most valuable lesson.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了年龄不能阻止一个人追求自己的人生目标。人的一生若想过得充实而有意义,就要不断地学习,永不放弃。1.The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that .A.loss of freedom stimulates ones creativityB.age is

produced by different companies.It is vital,therefore,for a company to distinguish itself from its competitors by having a strong company image which is immediately recognizable.Logos are part of this image.They are symbols which often include a name or initials to identify a company.The logo establishes a visual identity for the company,just as different groups of young people express their identity through hairstyles and clothes.All groups from all cultures and throughout the ages have used colors and symbols to show their identity.In different cultures,different colors carry different meanings.Some colors may be connected with coldness in one culture and with warmth in another;some colors represent life in one culture but death in another.International companies have,therefore,to make sure that their logos will not be misunderstood in different countries.The logos of large international companies are instantly recognizable throughout the world.One of the most famous logos is that of Coca-Cola.The design of the words “Coca-Cola” has not changed since 1886,although the surrounding design has been changed from time to time.Many companies have,over the years,renewed their logos to fit in with contemporary design and to present more powerful images.Company logos can be emotive and can inspire loyalty by influencing the subconscious(潜意识).Some logos include an idea of the product:the steering wheel in the Mercedes logo,for example,and the aeroplane tail of Alitalia.Logos are used on packaging and brochures as well as on the product itself.They may also appear in newspapers or on television as part of an advertising campaign.Companies need to have a strong corporate identity.The logo helps to promote this image and to fix it in the minds of the consumers.Logos,therefore,need to be original and to have impact and style.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。要想在众多同行业公司中脱颖而出,就要有鲜明的公司形象。商标是公司形象的重要组成部分。商标的组成要素、颜色、可辨识度等都是影响公司形象的重要因素。6.The most basic function of a

Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.Patient as I was,after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could have asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didnt want to mess with that.Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall?A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I dont even know has been immortalized(使永存).In some ways,she lives in my house.Perhaps we all live in each others spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women,separated only by a thin square of glass.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。在十五年前的一次旅行中,当作者爬到山顶准备拍一张全景图时,一位女士从后面走来,走进了作者的风景中。最后,作者拍下了照片,并将它作为一种纪念挂在卧室里,提醒作者人性中一些永恒的东西。11.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?A.Her camera stopped

whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years,for he became both blind and deaf.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live on.One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a plough lying near the wall.When Mrs.Edwards came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Roberts regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread,and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述罗伯特因为受到电击而失明失聪,生活在黑暗寂静的世界里。他几度想自杀,但他的家人尤其是他的妻子给予他安慰与鼓励让他重拾活下去的勇气。有一次他在树下躲雨的时候,意外被闪电击中,却恢复了视力与听力,这使众人颇感惊讶,连医生也不能确定具体原因。16.The reason for Roberts attempts to kill himself was

her hand.She looked puzzled.Several people passed by,looked at her but did not stop.I wondered why.Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed.She wore a dirty dress and looked pale.As I crossed the street and came closer to her I asked if she wanted help.She thanked me and smiled in relief.As it turned out,she was looking for the hospital.I felt wonderful just reaching out,and taking that extra moment to help.Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. I like helping people this way due to my own experience.Many years ago,we travelled in Japan and needed directions.A kind Japanese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out.This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be.We could not speak any Japanese while the man could not speak any English.Although we could not communicate through words,we communicated through the heart.Sometimes when I do a special favour for a stranger,the person will say,“I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favour.” They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them.But I hope that when they come across a situation where someone needs their help,they will be willing to reach out as well.1.Why didnt those passers-by give a helping hand to the young lady?(no more than 10 words)答案:Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed.2.What was the young ladys problem?(no more than 10 words)答案:She didnt know the way to the hospital./She was looking for the hospital.3.What does the underlined sentence mean?(no more than 20 words)答案:I tend to show her/him directly to the destination instead of just giving directions.4.What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?(no more than 15 words)答案:Reach out as long as you can when someone needs your help.5.Whats your opinion on helping strangers?Please show your reasons.(no more than 25 words)答案:Open.书面表达(2019北京卷)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国好友Jim打算暑假期间来北京、天津和上海旅游,发来邮件询问相关信息。请你给他回复邮件,内容包括:1.交通出行;2.必备衣物。注意:1.词数不少于50;2.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数。Dear Jim,Yours,Li Hua参考范文Dear Jim,Im more than delighted to know that you are going to visit Beijing,Tianjin and Shanghai,which are charming tourist cities,during summer vacation.Its very convenient for you to travel in the three cities because there are many means of transport for you to choose,such as buses,tubes,trains,and shared bikes.When it comes to the objects you have to take,some clothes suitable for summer and an umbrella are needed.In addition,comfortable shoes and other objects you need should be included.Looking forward to your arrival.Yours,Li Hua- 13 -
