B(2020·合肥第二次质检)A simple project to help a family in needstopped Luke Mickelson in his tracks. In 2012, he and his family wereinspired to build and donate a bunk bed, one bed on top of the other, afterlearning there were local children who slept on the floor. Shocked todiscover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelsonfounded Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a nonprofit that builds and delivers beds to children in need.Born and raised in Idaho, Mickelson, now 41, had a thriving career. He coached his kids’sports teams and fished in the nearby river. But when he met children who were sleeping on thefloor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughter’s bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money. He recruited friends and family members to help around the holidays. As the word spread, interest and involvement from his and other communities flooded—along with Mickelson’s bunk bed output. “That first project, we built 11 bunk beds in my garage，”he said. “The next year, we did 15. Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid sleeps on the floor in our town”，the nonprofit and its more than 65 branches have built and delivered more than 1，500 free beds to children across America. But along with the rapid growth, Mickelson was faced with a tough choice: advancing his career or his nonprofit. He chose the latter and went from making “great money to zero money”.He’s never looked back. “I found that the need I have isn’t financial，”he said. “The need I have is seeing the joy on kids’ faces, knowing that I can make a difference.”【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

NO,no,it can’t be. What a helpless,lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class,Did’t he know my son did not speak English yet?He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”No,I didn’t speak English at home,I replied. I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months,and I didn't want him to forget his native language.Well,wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all time? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”Needless to say,I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over,and I left.As I had expected,my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job,earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。

(建议用时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·长沙统一模拟)Kendrick Lamar hasn’t had much luck when itcomes to winning a Grammy. But that’s OK：The US rapper has just won aPulitzer Prize for his music.In 2014, in 2016, and again in 2018, Lamar was nominated(提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar’s 2017 album, Damn., to award the Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It’s an amazing album that documents the real life of modern AfricanAmericans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.Lamar’s win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference towards high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it’s not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award’s history.But Lamar is not just a singer—he’s clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality in the US.“He’s an artist who challenges ideas，”said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster(大片) Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. “One big theme in our film is this idea of ‘What does it mean to be African？’Lamar in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.”Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize(产生共鸣)．There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hiphop. But only Lamar has won a Pulitzer Prize.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。
