Passage 1 (2019河南)
Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker. “Does anyone on board know American Sign Language？”
Clara, 15 at the time, pressed the call button. An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf，” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn't understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm. So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt by the seat of Tim Cook, then 64. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK？” Cook asked for some water.
When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.
“He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk，” Clara said.
So for the next hour, she talked about her family and her plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness，” a passenger reported.
“Clara was amazing，” an air hostess told Alaska Airlines in an interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel.”
Cook's reply：“Best trip I've ever had.”

Passage 2(2019河北)
Tony, a nine­year­old kid, is sitting at his desk when suddenly he wets(尿湿) his pants. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly know how this has happened. It has never happened before. He knows the after­effect(后果)—When the boys find out, he will never hear the end of it. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
Tony puts his head down and says to himself, “Oh, no. What can I do? I need help now！”
He looks up and notices the teacher coming with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered.
As the teacher is walking to him, a classmate named Emily is carrying a glass that is full of water. Emily falls down in front of the teacher and drops the glass of water in Tony's pants. Tony seems to be angry, but all the while he is saying to himself. “Thank you, Dear! Thank you, Dear！”
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the person that everyone laughs at, Tony is the person of sympathy(同情). The person that everyone laughs at should be him, but now it is Emily.
She tries to help, but they tell her, “You've done enough, you stupid！”

Like many high school graduates, Maggie Doyne didn't go straight to college. She decided to travel and arrived in western Nepal in 2006. A war had just ended there and left many children living on the streets. They were often forced to work at hard physical jobs for little money.

Passage 8(2019南充)
When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it.
The book wasn't very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum(羊皮纸) on which was written the secret of the“Touchstone”. The touchstone was a small pebble(鹅卵石) that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore , and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years.
One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with opportunity(机会). Unless we are vigilant,__it's easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.

A. that you can touch

A. Excited. B. Moved. C. Interested. D. Regretted.
(　　)4. What's the meaning of the underlined word “vigilant” in the last paragraph?
A. Brave enough. B. Hard­working enough.
C. Careful enough. D. Strong enough.
(　　)5. What does the writer want to tell us?

Passage 9(2019绵阳)
Last weekend, I took Lucy to a park, where she discovered a track with large bumps(凸块) and sharp turns. At first, I thought Lucy was able to ride her bike along the track, but she quickly found that her bike was too low to the ground and kept getting stuck on top of the bumps.
Lucy looked at me with fear because she was still a biking newbie. I tried to encourage her too, but really, I was thinking—this is going to be a disaster. Not because I thought she would get hurt. More because I thought she wouldn't be able to pick up enough speed to balance, then get really discouraged, and give up quickly. I imagined her throwing her bicycle to the ground and then crying all the way home.
But I was only half right. Lucy did have a lot of trouble riding the bike. She couldn't find her balance. She fell many times. At one point, she almost started crying because younger kids were getting angry that she was slowing everyone else down. But she did not give up. She kept picking herself up and trying again. She even took the bike off the track and into the main park to practice pushing off and picking up speed on a flat ground. When she felt more confident, she came back. Then she did it over and over again until she finally reached her goal of going around the whole track without falling once. Then she didn't want to leave and everyone was cheering her on.

Passage 10(2019扬州)
My father was a cemetery (公墓)keeper. When I was a child, he often took me there. Before we left each time，he would lay some stones on some graves(公墓)．I never asked why. I just thought this was part of his work.
Yesterday, I visited my sick father. He asked me to go to the cemetery and lay some stones. For some reason,it had to be done that day. I agreed. I hadn't been there for a long time.
When I got there, I found a woman in front of one of the graves I would lay a stone on. As I bent to lay it, I heard her whisper “Thank you.”It was then that I noticed the date of death on the grave was that same day. The grave was that of a child, only five when he died fifteen years ago.
“He's my son，”she said. “But, where's your father? He was always the one to leave the stone.”
I told her that my father was ill but he asked me to do this. It seemed important to him. “Your father's kindness means more to me than anything else. When my child died, I came often to see him. It is our custom to leave a stone. It tells the one who is here that he is thought of. But, then we moved away from here... so many painful memories... I was so afraid that he would be alone. But your father marked the grave every time he came. Each time I returned here, I saw that stone and it always comforted me. Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother's heart though we are strangers. Just tell him you saw me today, won't you? ”She said.

Passage 11(2019德州)
I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.
For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls, so I often bent(弯曲) my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade.
My grandfather didn't laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me “Stand straight and tall, Alisa.” I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.
My grandfather grew up in war­torn(战乱的) Europe. “Stand straight, stand tall” meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life. “If they could do it, why couldn't I？” “Stand straight, stand tall.” he often reminded(提醒) himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language.
“Stand straight, stand tall，” he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather's unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.
“Stand straight, stand tall” has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture(身姿). It also tells me to be proud of who I am.

Passage 12(2019湘潭)
A man once visited a temple that was still being built. He saw a sculptor making a sculpture(雕塑). As he watched the man work on the sculpture, he noticed that there was a similar sculpture lying nearby.
He felt very strange and asked the sculptor, “Why are you making two same sculptures? Do you need two to put in different places？”
“No，” the man said without looking up, “We need only one, but the first one became damaged before I could finish it, so I'm making a new one.”
The visitor picked up the damaged sculpture and examined it. But he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
“Where is the damage？” he asked.
“There is a scratch(擦痕) on the sculpture's nose.” the sculptor said while continuing his work.
The man then asked, “Where are you going to place the sculpture？”
The sculptor replied that it would be placed on a 20­foot­high platform(平台). “If the sculpture is up that high, who is going to notice that there is a scratch on the nose？” the man asked.
The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the man and said, “I will know it.”

Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.
Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔嗒) sounds with his tongue(舌头) to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙蝠), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach
others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.
How does sonar work?
“When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It's like having a conversation with the environment.”
When you click, what do you see in your mind?
“Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction.”
What is it like riding a bike using sonar?
“It's exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do.”
Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?
“Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone(骨头) as a kid.”
How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?
“Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes; it's in the mind.”

Passage 17(2019泸州)
One day a man gave his son some wood to saw(锯；锯子). The boy did not want to do such work, so after his father had gone away, he threw the saw down, and it broke.
“I did not break the saw，” said the boy to himself, “it broke itself.” He tried to deceive himself with words, but he knew in his heart that they were false words, and he was afraid to meet his father.
One day a mother said to her son, who had just returned from school, “It is six o'clock. Your school closes at four—where have you been, my boy？”
“Oh, mother，” said Ned, “when we play at ball, we forget everything else. We do not think of the time, or of coming home. Is tea ready？”
The boy's mother was cheated. Ned's answer led her to think that he had been playing with his friends. But he had not been playing at all.
He had been “kept in” by his teacher, because he had not learned his lessons. He did not like to tell his mother that. He wished her to think that he had been playing.
“What a shame it is for you to try to cheat your mother，” said something in Ned's heart, as he sat down to his tea.
“I don't care，” said the boy to himself, “I don't care. I did not tell a lie—I did not say that I was playing.”

Passage 20(2019乐山)
My teacher said to a student: “Give me your phone.”
We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.
When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting about how they sent text messages and never got caught.
“Kyle, you stupid! I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I'm looking at my textbooks，” one of them said.
“Isn't it funny that we always text and never get caught？” the other one laughed.
They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it? Rules are there for a reason.
These two students might not get caught, but neither of them had good grades. They didn't pay any attention to the class, and I think they will keep doing this.
People don't just break big rules and get thrown into jail(监狱) overnight. They take it one step at a time. Kyle might have gotten caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It's smarter not to break small rules.
