This all changes when he is reunited with his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwartz. On discovering that Morrie is being weakened by a severe illness, Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays. The weekly conversations between Mitch and Morrie result in series of lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it. Arthur K This book is about dying, but it is not pessimistic. Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with joy and hope. Morrie’s bravery towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more. In fact, far from being a book about death, it’s a book about life, As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes — the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings. From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last. This encourages us to appreciate what we have, and to make the most of each day. Amy Wang I think this book should be on all school reading lists. After finishing it, I feel I have been given deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view. On the 11th Tuesday, Morrie explains that “... the big things-how we think, what we value — those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone — or any society — determine those for you”. While we are living, we tend to get distracted by unimportant things, such as gathering material possessions. I think it’s important for young people to know that making a lot of money won’t always make them happy, or that looking different doesn’t make person abnormal! It’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values. Morrie says that most people “seem half-asleep”, even when they’re doing things they think are important. Reading this book made me feel as if I’d been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world! Marty Despite its widespread recognition, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of collection of over-emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated. But thinking back, it did teach me a lesson or two. The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication. Although it isn’t my favourite book, I’d still recommend that people read it — after all, it is something that’s a bit different! 4．What changes Mitch’s life? A．Morrie’s severe illness. B．The book Tuesdays with Morrie. C．A successful career as a sports journalist. D．The weekly conversations between Morrie and him. 5．What does Amy Wang learn from the book Tuesdays with Morrie? A．One should learn to help others. B．One should make full use of each day. C．One should establish her/his own values. D．One should avoid getting distracted by things. 6．What’s Marty’s first impression of the book Tuesdays with Morrie? A．Just so-so. B．Impressive. C．Moving. D．Refreshing. 【答案】4．D 5．C 6．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《相约星期二》这本书的内容以及几位读者的评论。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“The weekly conversations between Mitch and Morrie result in series of lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it.(Mitch和Morrie每周一次的谈话，给他们上了一系列关于生命意义和如何最好地生活的课)”可知，Morrie和Mitch每周的对话改变了Mitch的生活。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据Amy Wang中“It’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values.(要弄清楚我们生活中什么才是重要的，并建立自己的价值观，这取决于我们自己)”可知，她从书中学习到一个人应该建立自己的价值观。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据Marty中“Despite its widespread recognition, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of a collection of over-emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated.(尽管它得到了广泛的认可，但我的第一印象是，《相约星期二》只是由一系列过度情绪化的想法和信息组成的，其中许多是重复的)”可知，从“just”等词可以看出他最初觉得这本书很一般（Just so-so）。故选A。 Passage 3 （23-24高二下·山西忻州·期末） Four Best Literary Festivals in the UK This Year Ready to dive into a world between pages?

Here are some tips for planning a fun event. Schedule a date A Friday or Saturday night might be a good option, so you can start the movie after dark — making the mood more scary —and not have to worry about staying up too late on a school night. Once you have a date and time picked out, reach out to anyone you would like to invite. Pick a movie You can check out the Halloween-themed movies on your family’s streaming services or see what you might be able to download for free from the Internet. If you want friends to help you choose the fun and age-appropriate movie for everyone who is attending, you could narrow the selection down to three options and take a quick vote when everyone arrives. Serve snacks Popcorn is a classic movie treat and easy to make for a group. You can serve it plain or set up a popcorn bar. Place one large bowl of popcorn on a counter with several smaller bowls of toppings — like chocolate chips, small candies, and Pamesan cheese. Set out brown paper lunch bags, festive stickers, and black and orange markers so guests can personalize their bags. Get the room ready Depending on how many people you are hosting, you may want to add extra seating to your TV area.

Decorate the room in a Halloween theme like setting out plastic pumpkins with fake candles inside to help create a spooky mood and cutting out spider and ghost shapes to hang from the ceiling. 16．Why are weekends better for a movie night?

Passage 2 （24-25高二下·青海西宁·期末） Tuesdays with Morrie Despite being a sports journalist with a successful career ahead of him, Mitch Albom feels that there is something missing from his life. This all changes when he is reunited with his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwartz. On discovering that Morrie is being weakened by a severe illness, Mitch starts visiting him at his house on Tuesdays. The weekly conversations between Mitch and Morrie result in series of lessons on the meaning of life and how best to live it. Arthur K This book is about dying, but it is not pessimistic. Indeed, it was a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with joy and hope. Morrie’s bravery towards the end of his life is inspirational and has made me value my own life more. In fact, far from being a book about death, it’s a book about life, As Morrie says, “Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” As Morrie anticipates his own death, he observes everything as though through new eyes — the things around him seem more beautiful than ever before and hold new meanings. From his window, he watches each season change, knowing it could be his last. This encourages us to appreciate what we have, and to make the most of each day. Amy Wang I think this book should be on all school reading lists. After finishing it, I feel I have been given deeper insight into the world and can see things from a different point of view. On the 11th Tuesday, Morrie explains that “... the big things-how we think, what we value — those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone — or any society — determine those for you”. While we are living, we tend to get distracted by unimportant things, such as gathering material possessions. I think it’s important for young people to know that making a lot of money won’t always make them happy, or that looking different doesn’t make person abnormal! It’s up to us to find out what is important in our lives and establish our own values. Morrie says that most people “seem half-asleep”, even when they’re doing things they think are important. Reading this book made me feel as if I’d been woken up from a long sleep and finally opened my eyes to the world! Marty Despite its widespread recognition, my first impression was that Tuesdays with Morrie is just made up of collection of over-emotional thoughts and messages, many of which are repeated. But thinking back, it did teach me a lesson or two. The book made me stop and think about how much I am influenced by popular culture and the importance of creating my own values based on love and open communication. Although it isn’t my favourite book, I’d still recommend that people read it — after all, it is something that’s a bit different! 4．What changes Mitch’s life? A．Morrie’s severe illness. B．The book Tuesdays with Morrie. C．A successful career as a sports journalist. D．The weekly conversations between Morrie and him. 5．What does Amy Wang learn from the book Tuesdays with Morrie? A．One should learn to help others. B．One should make full use of each day. C．One should establish her/his own values. D．One should avoid getting distracted by things. 6．What’s Marty’s first impression of the book Tuesdays with Morrie? A．Just so-so. B．Impressive. C．Moving. D．Refreshing.
