【2019全国卷II】“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 there’s 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 aren’t even on … At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, “Alright. Yes, I’ll do it.”

   I’m secretly relieved because I know there’s 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, I’m pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I’d 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?

【2018北京卷】     My First Marathon（马拉松）

   A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

   I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was “not athletic”.

   The idea that I was “not athletic” stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

   The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

   Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

   At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”

   By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

   By mile 21, I was starving!

   As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

    Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇故事类文章。作者记叙了没有运动天赋的他,在20多岁才开始长跑,但是一次在跑马拉松比赛前夕踝关节受伤,但他坚持不懈,最终实现了自我的故事。

5. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

【2020甘肃省第一次高考诊断】Many Westerners have the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief. But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.

   Like most people from the West, I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films. Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world. The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S. and elsewhere.

   However, my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group. Wu－Tang Clan, founded in the early 1990s in New York City, is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.

   In their songs, they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan — a classic Chinese martial art from which they take their name — and Shaolin Temple. I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu－Tang Clan — little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!

   I myself do not practice kung fu. However, the concepts behind it are quite interesting to me. There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I'm struggling with challenges in life. “Be formless, shapeless, like water,” he once said. By this, he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties. I think this is a good way to deal with life.

【语篇解读】中国功夫对西方人有很大的影响。本文作者受一支嘻哈乐队的影响，对中国功夫产生了浓厚的兴趣，而中国功夫背后蕴含的一些观念帮助作者战胜了生活中的很多困难。

13. What does “a silly belief” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A．All Chinese people can do kung fu.

B．China is most famous for its kung fu.

C．Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.

D．Many Westerners admire kung fu.

【答案】A

【解析】考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“Many Westerners have   the idea that everyone in China knows how to do kung fu. This is, of course, a silly belief.”可知，This指代西方人认为中国人都知道如何练功夫这一想法。由此可知，这个荒唐的想法就是，所有中国人都会功夫，故选A项。

14. What inspired the author's interest in kung fu?

A．Hong Kong action movies.

B．A TV program about kung fu.

C．Kung fu stars in Hollywood.

D．A US hip hop group.

【答案】D

【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三段内容可知，作者对于中国功夫的兴趣其实是由一支嘻啥乐队激发的，这个乐队的名字叫作“武当派”，故选D项。

15. What do we know about the Wu－Tang Clan?

A．They have Chinese culture in their songs.

B．They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.

C．They performed Chinese martial arts in the U.S.

D．They showed the author the way to live in China.

【答案】A

【解析】考查细节理解。根据第四段的第一句可知，在武当派的歌曲中，有时会提到一些武当拳和少林寺中的哲学观念。武当拳是中国的一种武术，也是乐队名字的由来。因此他们的歌曲中会体现出中国文化，故选A项。

Ⅱ. 阅读七选五

【2019北京卷】 Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成)in teams. Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.   16   Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent？

      17   They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent；above that level, the team’s performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn’t evident in baseball. where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.

   To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调)their actions.   18   In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is. for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team's performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, “There is no I in TEAM.”   19  

Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛),whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force.

      20    An A-team may require a balance-not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.

A. It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.

B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent

C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.

D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.

E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.

F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.

G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.

【答案】16-20 BEGDF

Ⅲ.语法填空

【2016全国II卷】 If you feel stressed by responsibilities at work, you should take a step back and identify(识别) those of   21  (great) and less importance. Then, handle the most important tasks first so you’ll feel a real sense of   22  (achieve). Leaving the less important things until tomorrow   23   (be) often acceptable.

   Most of us are more focused   24   our tasks in the morning than we are later in the day. So, get an early start and try to be as productive   25   possible before lunch. This will give you the confidence you need to get you through the afternoon and go home feeling accomplished.

   Recent   26  (study) show that we are far more productive at work if we take short breaks   27   (regular). Give your body and brain a rest by stepping outside for   28   while, exercising, or doing something you enjoy.

   If you find something you love doing outside of the office, you’ll be less likely   29  (bring) your work home. It could be anything—gardening, cooking, music, sports—but whatever it is,   30    (make) sure it’s a relief from daily stress rather than another thing to worry about.

【答案】21. greater  22. achievement  23. is  24. on   25. as 

   26. studies   27. regularly   28. a    29. to bring   30. make

【解析】本文为说明文。本文主要介绍了缓解工作中的压力的一些方法。

21. greater 考查形容词的比较级。根据语境及下文的"and less importance"可知,此处应用形容词的比较级来修饰importance,故填greater。

22. achievement 考查词性转换。首先处理最重要的工作以便你能感到一种真实的成就感。介词后接名词,a real sense of achievement意为"一种真实的成就感"。

23. is 考查主谓一致和时态。把不太重要的事情留到明天通常是可以接受的。分析句子结构可知,该句中的主语为动名词短语"Leaving the less important things until tomorrow",故谓语动词为第三人称单数形式,且全文的基本时态为一般现在时。故填is。

24. on 考查介词。我们中的大多数人在早上的时候会比我们在一天中的晚些时候更加集中于我们的工作。固定短语be focused on 意为"集中于……"。故填on。

25. as 考查连词。因此,早点儿开始并且在午饭前要尽可能高效。固定结构as...as possible意为"尽可              能……"。

26. studies 考查名词复数。最新的研究表明,如果我们有规律地短暂休息的话,我们在工作中会变得高效得多。分析句子结构可知,谓语动词为show,为复数形式,且study作"研究,调查"讲时为可数名词,故主语应为复数。故填studies。

27. regularly 考查词性转换。副词修饰谓语动词take,故填regularly"有规律地"。

28. a 考查冠词。固定短语for a while意为"一会儿"。

29. to bring 考查非谓语动词。固定短语be likely to do sth.意为"可能做某事",故填to bring。

30. make 考查祈使句。分析句子结构可知,but连接两个并列分句。其中第二个分句中,whatever引导让步状语从句,其后为祈使句充当主句。故填make。
