2、ed to discover how widespread this need was in his community, Mickelson founded 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.
3、But when he met children who were sleeping on the floor, his peaceful life changed course.Using safety guidelines and his daughters bunk bed as a model, Mickelson started buying wood and supplies to build beds with his own money.

Then it doubled every year. In 2017, we built 612 bunk beds.”With the motto “No kid s
5、leeps 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 fr

In an attempt to help th
12、e children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Head Start” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into preschool institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing, because t
13、he program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Head Start” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.To improve the results, an
14、other program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the childs first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The fouryear study included 380 families who wer
15、e about to have their first child and represented different socioeconomic statuses, ages and family structures. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child developmen
16、t.At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socioeconomic backgrounds and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectua
17、l skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds or family structures. The one factor that was found to affect the childs development was the poor quality of parentchild interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.The “Missou
18、ri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Head Start” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.【解题导语】本文主要通过对比两项侧重点不同的教育项目表明，要实现教育公平就应该关注对父母的教育
19、，使其与孩子之间进行高品质互动，并且意识到孩子出生后前三年的重要性。5What caused the failure of the “Head Start” program?AThe large number of poor families.BThe disapproval from children.CThe late start of the program.DThe long period of time.C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“But the results have been disappointing, because the program began too l

21、ildren in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers.”可推知，Missouri项目让参与的孩子们在许多方面都有改善。7According to the passage, what is likely to influence childrens performance?AThe number of family members.BThe parentchild communication.C

23、ing comparisons.CBy presenting ideas.DBy drawing conclusions.B解析：篇章结构题。通读全文内容可知，本文是通过对比两个侧重点不同的教育项目， 从而组织文章的，故选B。.完形填空(2020安庆高三模拟)Steve was a seventh grader, a big boy, looking more like a teenager than a 12yearold.

When asked why they lack interest in family medici
38、ne, the students cite(援引) a heavy student debt load and the long hours required of a doctor who is managing the family practice. As in other kinds of work, young doctors today want a balance between their professional and personal lives.In British Columbia(BC) this problem is made worse because the

49、ression sufferers comes from a review by Cochrane, a nonprofit group that reviews health care issues. Some studies looked at the effects of providing music therapy to patients who were receiving drug treatment for depression. Others compared music therapy to traditional talk therapy. In four out of
50、five of the trials, music therapy worked better at easing depression symptoms than therapies that did not employ music, the researchers found.“While the evidence came from a few small studies, it suggests that this is an area that is well worth further investigation，” said lead author Anna Maratos.
51、Ms. Maratos notes that music therapy might be particularly useful for adolescents who may reject a traditional form of counseling. Some older patients also may not be comfortable talking about their feelings but do tend to express themselves through songs.There are two main types of music therapy. S

Starting out at a new s
60、chool had been a difficult adjustment. Until she met Susan, Holly had experienced little success in making new friends.The whispered “thanks” was barely audible(听得见的) as Holly tried not to allow her disappointment to show. She laid the carpet on the kitchen counter, and they headed outside to play.
61、The extent of Hollys disappointment didnt become evident until the following evening when she came downstairs to say good night. “Well, I guess we know how much my best friend thinks of me, huh, Mom？” she said with tears. “Im so sorry, honey” was all I could manage to say.The next morning, I carried
62、 the kitchen rubbish outside. My heart sank as I lifted the lid of the trash can and saw Susans carpet lying there. Hesitating only for a moment, I took it out and brought it into the house.“Susan invited me to come over to her house tomorrow，” Holly announced as she arrived home from school a week
63、later. Although her voice carried a sowhat attitude, I sensed she was pleased about the invitation. In spite of the number of times Susan had visited with us, ourinvitations were never returned and it would be the first time for Holly to go.The next day I drove Holly to the destination. A tall woman
64、 stood in the doorway to greet us. The house was shabby but neatly decorated with used furniture. From the chat with the woman we knew Susan had long been separated from her parents and she was Susans stepmother. A warm light shone in her eyes as she revealed to me her fondness for Susan. I came to
65、respect this generoushearted woman who had opened her home to a young girl and attempted to make a difference in her life.Paragraph 1：As daylight began to fade, I picked Holly up from Susans home._Paragraph 2：I placed the carpet on the table in front of her._One possible version：Paragraph 1：As dayli

I stroked her shoulders and took out the carpet from the kitchen.Paragraph 2：I placed the carpet on the table in front of her. In a split seco
68、nd, she curved her lips into a broad smile through tears. She jumped up, screaming in an excited voice, and wrapped her arms around me like a vice. Then she gave the carpet a light brush.

72、In a few minutes, they turned through the field gate. AJ. pulled a pair of telescopes(望远镜). The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. The cows gathered around the pond. AJ. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. The windmillpowered water pumps sometimes froze, leaving the cows

Dad stopped the truck, and he and AJ. stared at the frozen pond anxiously.A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. A cow, no doubt the calfs m
74、other, stood onshore, shouting desperately. The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time.Suddenly, the morning sun seemed warmer. Too warmer. AJ. knew that the situation was urgent. If the calf lay there too long, she could fall through the ice and drown.Dad eased the pickup down the

Ill remember so many won
80、derful things about my trip to the cities of Lisbon and Porto, but one experience in particular sticks out, something that happened on our last night in Lisbon.Before the trip, I put together a very detailed route of places to see. One of the mustvisit places on my list was Livraria do Simo, the sma
81、llest bookstore in Lisbon. On our very first day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I searched for it. We found the oldest bookstore in the world. But the smallest one was impossible to find! Back at the hotel where we had WiFi, I looked the bookstore up again, hoping wed have time to find it on another day.
82、But our schedule was delayed, and we probably wouldnt have time to look for it.On our last full day in Lisbon, Priscilla and I took a day trip to Cascais, a coastal town outside the city. We decided, at the last minute, to visit a historic flea market(跳蚤市场). We walked for about an hour, up many stee
83、p hills. When we finally reached the market, completely out of breath, all the sellers were closing up. Not to mention that we were both tired and hungry. Priscilla and I argued over the directions. I insisted we turn right, which ended up being another bad decision. We climbed up more steep hills,
84、farther and farther away from any area we recognized. We made another right turn onto a random street and Priscilla stopped to check the map. Meanwhile, I looked up at the street sign, Rua da Madalena. Id heard that name before. We continued a little farther up the street, and I spotted a few people
85、 hanging out in a lane. There was something particularly familiar about the scene. I looked closer. There was a small store practically hidden in the lane. It had books in its windows.Paragraph 1：Oh my goodness! The bookstore！_Paragraph 2：Soon, it was time for us to say goodbye._One possible version
86、：Paragraph 1：Oh my goodness! The bookstore! The very one Priscilla and I had so badly wanted to find on our very first day. We took lots of photos of it in amazement. Our delight must have been noticeable because one of the guys standing outside the store started telling me that its the smallest boo
87、kstore in this city! Not until he led us inside the bookstore did we know that he was the owner of the bookstore. Inside this small store, we became so addicted to the books that we completely forgot we were tired and hungry.Paragraph 2：Soon, it was time for us to say goodbye. After waving the owner
88、 goodbye, Priscilla and I tore ourselves away from the bookstore. On our way back, I couldnt stop smiling. We had just visited the smallest bookstore in Lisbon, met the owner and taken a tour inside! I couldnt get over all the little things that had come together to lead us there. If we hadnt decide
89、d to visit the flea market at the last minute, if I hadnt insisted we turn right.That moment in Lisbon was a beautiful coincidence to us.写作新题型(三) (建议用时：25分钟)阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。Michael sat on the wooden bench outside the house holding a fourleaf clover(四叶草).
