【三年考情回顾】
【题型应对策略】
一、阅读理解记叙文基本特点
从历年高考统计数据来看，记叙文内容主要归纳为三个类型：
一、人物传记
二、人物故事
三、新闻报道
从历年高考统计数据来看，记叙文命题类型主要归纳为四个类型：
一、细节理解题
二、猜测词义题
三、推理判断题
四、主旨大意题
二、“人物传记”类记叙文解题策略
人物传记是高中记叙文考试中常遇到的体裁形式。针对人物传记，学生应该重视文中人物学习以及工作情况的描写，并且理顺人物出生到死亡的顺序。针对人物不同年龄阶段做过的事情、说过的话进行理解。主要是针对人物描写时间顺序、生活背景、实践经历、名人名言几个要素进行认知。
三、“人物故事”类记叙文解题策略
要有效地解决英语记叙文阅读中的问题，就必须要理清事件发展的顺序以及人物之间的关系。把握记叙文的题材，理清作者想要表达的主要意图。有重点地把握人物特征，了解整个事情的来龙去脉，正确地认识文章的结构以及文章题材倾向。针对叙事为主的记叙文，学生应该注意：
☛ 记叙的要素（wh、when、where、what、why、hw）
☛ 叙述的人称（第一人称/第三人称）
☛ 记叙的顺序或方法（顺叙、倒叙和插叙）
☛ 叙述的线索 （以时间为线索；以地点为线索；以事件发展的过程为线索；以事物的象征意义为线索；以人物的思想行为及认知的过程为线索）
四、“新闻报道”类记叙文解题策略
新闻报道类阅读理解首先注意新闻“倒金字塔”结构特点，重视“首段”和“段首”，因为这样可以抓住文章的主旨句，有利于把握文章大意和作者写作意图。
同时，还应学会运用括号法分析长难句，把影响考生理解的各种从句、非谓语动词短语以及复杂介词短语括起来，从而达到“去枝叶，留主干”的目的，进而准确理解句子含义。
五、阅读理解记叙文答题策略
一把钥匙开一把锁。要解答好记叙文阅读理解题，就应该有一套针对性强的方法和技巧。下面是我们在阅读教学中积累下来的一点心得体会，希望能对大家有所帮助。
☛顺藤摸瓜
记叙文中有大量的事件发展过程中的细节，包括记叙文的5W（what, wh, when, where, why）要素。因此我们作答细节题的时候，一般只需要由前到后，从上到下，一题一题地做就可以了。
☛左顾右盼
在做题过程中，需要抓住题干中的关键词语，然后到文中准确地找到与之相关的语句，或是疑似语句的位置，接着去左顾，或右盼，在前句或后句寻找线索。
☛刨根问底
主旨大意题或推理判断题等不可被题干的表象所迷惑，要像剥洋葱一样，一层一层地剥；要在文前文后去查找，在字里行间里去寻觅。有时还少不了借助自己的生活经验和常理来体会这言外之意。
☛拨云见日
每年的高考阅读题中，特别是记叙文的阅读题，都会出现一至两道词义猜测题。这时，你不仅需要＂左顾右盼＂，还需要在几句话，一个段落，乃至整篇文章的字里行间中快速搜寻，看看前面、后面都发生了些什么；反复琢磨人物、事物，或者人物与事物之间的内在联系，才可能在最后拨开团团迷雾，从四个选项中选出正确答案。
☛一锤定音
有时记叙文最后一题需要选定标题，颇有难度。既要注意文章反复出现的关键词（key wrds），还应注意文章的主旨或隐含意义。实在有困难的话，还可以用排除法。从历年高考统计数据来看，记叙文标题可以是以下情况：短语型；句子型；问句型等。
题型一、细节理解题
考例1（2023新高考I卷B篇第6段）
“Eclgical design” is the name Jhn gives t what he des. “Life n Earth is kind f a bx f spare parts fr the inventr,” he says. “Yu put rganisms in new relatinships and bserve what’s happening. Then yu let these new systems develp their wn ways t self-repair.”

题型二、猜测词义题
考例3（2023全国甲卷B篇第1段）

1.（2022新高考II卷B篇）
We jurnalists live in a new age f strytelling, with many new multimedia tls. Many yung peple dn’t even realize it’s new. Fr them, it’s just nrmal.
This hit hme fr me as I was sitting with my 2-year-ld grandsn n a sfa ver the Spring Festival hliday. I had brught a children’s bk t read. It had simple wrds and clrful pictures — a perfect match fr his age.
Picture this: my grandsn sitting n my lap as I hld the bk in frnt s he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches ut and pkes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thught. Then I turned the page and cntinued. He pked the page even harder. I nearly drpped the bk. I was cnfused: Is there smething wrng with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger t bks. His father frequently amused the by with a tablet cmputer which was laded with clrful pictures that cme alive when yu pke them. He thught my strybk was like that.
Srry, kid. This bk is nt part f yur high-tech wrld. It’s an utdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like yur grandfather. Well, I may be ld, but I’m nt hpelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit vide and prduce audi. I use mbile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s ne ntable gap in my new-media experience, hwever: I’ve spent little time in frnt f a camera, since I have a face made fr radi. But that didn’t stp China Daily frm asking me last week t share a persnal stry fr a vide prject abut the integratin f Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei prvince.
Anyway, grandpa is nw an internet star — tw minutes f fame! I prmise nt t let it g t my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-ld grandsn sees it n his tablet.

2.（2023北京卷B篇）
Sitting in the garden fr my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pcket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started ff: “Dear Mr Green, thank yu fr yur interest” and “the review prcess tk lnger than expected.” It ended with “We are srry t infrm yu…”and my visin blurred (模糊). The psitin—measuring sil quality in the Sahara Desert as part f an undergraduate research prgramme — had felt like the answer I had spent years lking fr.
I had put s much time and emtinal energy int applying, and I thught the rejectin meant the end f the rad fr my science career.
S I was shcked when, nt lng after the email, Prfessr Mary Devn, wh was running the prgramme, invited me t bserve the wrk being dne in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shcked—and verjyed—when she invited me t talk with her abut ptential prjects I culd pursue in her lab. What she prpsed didn’t seem as exciting as the riginal prject I had applied t, but I was ging t give it my all.
I fund myself wrking with a rbtics prfessr n techniques fr cllecting data frm the desert remtely. That prject, which I culd cmplete frm my sfa instead f in the burning heat f the desert, nt nly survived the lckdwn but wrked where traditinal methds didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest t pursue.
When I applied t graduate schl, I fund three prgrammes prmising t allw me t fllw my desired research directin. And I applied with the same anxius excitement as befre. When I was rejected frm ne that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) t keep it frm sending me int panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted int ne f the ther prgrammes I was als excited abut.
Rather than setting plans in stne, I’ve learned that smetimes I need t take the pprtunities that are ffered, even if they dn’t sund perfect at the time, and make the mst f them.
24. Hw did the authr feel upn seeing the email sender’s name?
A. Anxius.B. Angry.C. Surprised.D. Settled.
25. After talking with Prfessr Devn, the authr decided t ________.
A. criticise the review prcessB. stay lnger in the Sahara Desert

26. Accrding t the authr, the prject with the rbtics prfessr was ________.
A. demandingB. inspiringC. misleadingD. amusing
27. What can we learn frm this passage?
A. An invitatin is a reputatin.B. An innvatin is a reslutin.

My name is Alice. Early last year, I was trubled by an anxiety that crippled ( 削弱 ) my ability t d anything. I felt like a strm clud hung ver me. Fr almst a year I struggled n, cnstantly staring at this wall that faced me. My perfectinist tendencies were the main rt f this: I wanted t be perfect at whatever I did, which bviusly in life is nt pssible, but it cnsumed me.
One day, I attended a presentatin by wildlife cnservatinist Grant Brwn at my high schl. His presentatin nt nly awed and inspired me, but als helped emerge an inner desire t make a difference in the wrld. I jined a pre-presentatin dinner with him and that smaller setting allwed me t slwly build up my curage t speak ne-n-ne with him—an idea that had seemed cmpletely impssible. This first cntact was where my stry began.
A mnth later, Brwn invited me t attend the Wrld Yuth Wildlife Cnference. Lking back, I nw see that this wuld be the first in a series f timely pprtunities that my ld self wuld have let pass, but that this new and mre cnfident Alice enthusiastically seized. Shrtly after I received his invitatin, applicatins t jin the Yuth fr Nature and the Yuth fr Planet grups were sent arund thrugh my high schl. I decided t cmmit t cmpleting the applicatins, and sn I was a part f a grwing glbal team f yung peple wrking t prtect nature. Each f these new steps cntinued t grw my cnfidence.
I am writing this just six mnths since my jurney began and I’ve realised that my biggest bstacle ( 障碍 ) this whle time was myself. It was that vice in the back f my head telling me that ne phrase that has stpped s many peple frm reaching their ptential: I can’t. They say gd things cme t thse wh wait; I say: grab every pprtunity with everything yu have and be impatient. After all, nature des nt require ur patience, but ur actin.

Like mst f us, I try t be mindful f fd that ges t waste. The arugula (芝麻菜)was t make a nice green salad, runding ut a rast chicken dinner. But I ended up wrking late. Then friends called with a dinner invitatin. I stuck the chicken in the freezer. But as days passed, the arugula went bad. Even wrse, I had unthinkingly bught way t much; I culd have made six salads with what I threw ut.
In a wrld where nearly 800 millin peple a year g hungry, “fd waste ges against the mral grain,” as Elizabeth Ryte writes in this mnth’s cver stry. It’s jaw-drpping hw much perfectly gd fd is thrwn away — frm “ugly” (but quite eatable) vegetables rejected by grcers t large amunts f uneaten dishes thrwn int restaurant garbage cans.
Prducing fd that n ne eats wastes the water, fuel, and ther resurces used t grw it. That makes fd waste an envirnmental prblem. In fact, Ryte writes, “if fd waste were a cuntry, it wuld be the third largest prducer f greenhuse gases in the wrld.”
If that’s hard t understand, let’s keep it as simple as the arugula at the back f my refrigeratr. Mike Curtin sees my arugula stry all the time — but fr him, it's mre like 12 bnes f dnated strawberries nearing their last days. Curtin is CEO f DC Central Kitchen in Washingtn, D.C., which recvers fd and turns it int healthy meals. Last year it recvered mre than 807,500 punds f fd by taking dnatins and cllecting blemished (有瑕疵的) prduce that therwise wuld have rtted in fields. And the strawberries? Vlunteers will wash, cut, and freeze r dry them fr use in meals dwn the rad.
Such methds seem bvius, yet s ften we just dn’t think. “Everyne can play a part in reducing waste, whether by nt purchasing mre fd than necessary in yur weekly shpping r by asking restaurants t nt include the side dish yu wn’t eat,” Curtin says.
24. What des the authr want t shw by telling the arugula stry?
A. We pay little attentin t fd waste.
B. We waste fd unintentinally at times.
C. We waste mre vegetables than meat.
D. We have gd reasns fr wasting fd.
25. What is a cnsequence f fd waste accrding t the test?
A. Mral decline.B. Envirnmental harm.
C. Energy shrtage.D. Wrldwide starvatin.
26. What des Curtin’s cmpany d?
A. It prduces kitchen equipment.
B. It turns rtten arugula int clean fuel.
C. It helps lcal farmers grw fruits.
D. It makes meals ut f unwanted fd.
27. What des Curtin suggest peple d?
A. Buy nly what is needed.B. Reduce fd cnsumptin.
C. G shpping nce a week.D. Eat in restaurants less ften.

By day, Rbert Tittertn is a lawyer. In his spare time thugh he ges n stage beside pianist Maria Rasppva — nt as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m nt a trained musician, but I’ve learnt t read music s I can help Maria in her perfrmance.”

In the mid-1990s, Tm Bissell taught English as a vlunteer in Uzbekistan. He left after seven mnths, physically brken and having lst his mind. A few years later, still attracted t the cuntry, he returned t Uzbekistan t write an article abut the disappearance f the Aral Sea.

Hence this bk, Chasing the Sea: Lst Amng the Ghsts f Empire in Central Asia, which talks abut a rad trip frm Tashkent t Karakalpakstan, where millins f lives have been destryed by the slw drying up f the sea.

This is a quick lk at life in Uzbekistan, made f friendliness and warmth, but als its darker side f sciety.

Saring t 29, 035 feet, the famus Munt Everest had lng been cnsidered unclimbable due t the freezing weather, the bvius ptential fall frm cliffs and the effects f the extreme high altitude, ften called “muntain sickness.” But that was t be changed by Edmund Hillary.
When he was invited t jin the British Everest expeditin in 1953, Edmund Hillary was a highly capable climber. The glacier-cvered peaks in his hmetwn in New Zealand prved a perfect training grund fr the Himalaya. It was his furth Himalayan expeditin in just ver tw years and he was at the peak f fitness.
On May 28, 1953, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Nrgay, an experienced Sherpa (夏尔巴人) set ut and reached the Suth Summit by 9 a. m. next day. But after that, the ridge (山脊) slightly fell befre rising suddenly in a rcky spur (尖坡) abut 17 meters high just befre the true summit. The frmatin is difficult t climb due t its extreme pitch because a mistake wuld be deadly.

At 11:30 a. m, the tw men fund themselves standing at the tp f the wrld. “Nt until we were abut 50 feet f the tp was I ever cmpletely cnvinced that we were actually ging t reach the summit.” Hillary later recunted, “Of curse I was very, very pleased t be n the summit, but my first thught was a little bit f surprise. After all, this is the ambitin f all muntaineers.”
Emerging as the first t summit Munt Everest, Hillary Hillary cntinued by helping explre Antarctica, and establishing the Himalayan Trust (信托基金), thrugh which he prvided a number f beneficial services t the Himalayan peples. He als a sizeable legacy that muntain climbers have chased ever since. As a yung climber said, “It was nt just Hillary and Tenzing that reached the summit f Munt Everest. It was all f humanity.

If yu ask 100 peple what subjects they wish they had been taught in schl, there is a chance that the vast majrity f them will cmplain abut the lack f persnal finance educatin. In my case, I did learn a bit abut financing while in schl — just nt in the classrm. One f my earliest lessns n the basics f budgeting came frm an unlikely surce: the cafeteria.
My lunch budget was a set amunt each week. Withut a plan, it wuld be all t easy t blw thrugh the budget lng befre meeting all expenses. Therefre, my very first budgeting lessn was t make a budget well. A bit f simple arithmetic (算术) helped me determine exactly hw much mney I culd spend each day if I wanted t actually have lunch all week.
Besides, my schl had relatively diverse lunch fferings. Yu culd nt nly get the cmmn ht schl lunch but als find many ther fds f varying attractins. As far as I was cncerned, what attracted me mst was the ice cream. Unfrtunately, I culdn’t blw my daily lunch budget n ice cream. And I’d already figured ut that splurging early in the week made fr a rugh time fr the rest f the week. Hence, I learned my secnd imprtant budgeting lessn: save fr a gal. Because f this lessn, when Friday rlled arund, I wuld have just enugh left ver fr a wnderful lunch and the highly desirable ice cream.
Nwadays, my budget is a bit mre cmplicated than the lunch budget in the past. Althugh I n lnger have t save my pennies fr a frzen treat, budgeting my mney tday uses the exact same skills I learned all thse years ag. Actually, whether yu’re budgeting fr schl lunches r credit card bills, the basics remain the same. And it’s never t early — r t late — t learn hw t make a prper budget.

In additin, we perceive the wrld thrugh filters (过滤器) f cncepts. We have a cnceptual label (r name) fr everything we see. We label flating shapes in the sky as cluds; we label a masive variety f natural frms with spreading rts and branches as trees. Thrugh filters f familiarity and cncepts, ur perceptin f the wrld is like a faded black-and-white image cmpared t a three-dimensinal clur image.
This is why it always makes sense t side-step ur nrmal familiar perceptin and perceive the wrld with fresh visin, free f cncepts and expectatins, lking at bjects as if they had never been seen befre, r as if they were ther things.
We can see this in great artists. They g beynd familiarity and find a new way f seeing things. Familiar everyday bjects like fruit and flwers and bttles are filled with freshness and beauty in the great still-life paintings f artists like Cezanne r Matisse. T lk at paintings by Vincent van Ggh, such as Sunflwers, Irises r Van Ggh’s Chair, makes yu feel as if an extra dimensin f reality has been revealed.
And f curse, this is the reasn why we lve t g t art galleries t see such paintings. T lk at them is like ging n vacatin t a strange freign cuntry, a reminder f the raw beauty and wnder f the wrld, hidden beneath ur nrmal autmatic visin.

My phne rang after I barded a plane. It was my frmer PhD adviser calling t tell me an article had just been psted that identified errrs in a paper we’d published in Nature. My stmach drpped when I knew many critics were demanding a retractin (撤回). The plane sn tk ff. I spent the 16-hur flight prcessing a mix f emtins—disbelief, embarrassment, frustratin—and wndering what this wuld mean fr my career.
After the plane landed, I tk ut my laptp and lgged n the airprt WiFi s I culd read the critique myself. It was harsh and thrugh, pinting ut several fundamental flaws in ur methds and in the basic data, which we’d gathered frm ther studies.
The fallut was swift and intense. I received a fld f emails and messages. Sme were frm supprtive clleagues, but many were harshly critical f ur wrk. I felt deeply embarrassed by the criticism.
When it became clear that the retractin was unavidable, I frmally ffered my resignatin t my department head. He didn’t accept it, saying a resignatin wasn’t needed cnsidering the errrs in the paper were hnest mistakes.
The experience helped me grw as a scientist. I learned that it is better t be pen and respnsible, even if it means admitting mistakes. I can’t expect myself t knw everything as a scientist and my wrk will be strnger if I seek ut diverse expertise and pinins.
In the end, the reality is that the retractins are a necessary part f the science prcess—and ne that shuldn’t be viewed nly thrugh a negative lens (透镜). Retractins can als be an pprtunity t learn and imprve. Hnest mistakes happen, and researchers shuld be encuraged, nt punished, fr ding the right thing and retracting flawed wrk.

I was 17 when I discvered shting stars.
I lved them s much that I invited my high schl friends t my family farm and spent an August night in ur sleeping bags n the hillside t watch them tgether.
I can’t help but think f that as the final night f my childhd. I always managed t squeeze in a week r tw f vacatin befre starting back at schl, and I’d see shting stars and remember that brilliant night n the hill. While still marveling at them, I’d wrk at cnvincing myself that the jy I’d experience frm my accmplishments in cllege wuld sn replace my lnging fr sme quiet time beneath a vast sky.

When I was five, I nce peeled ff the paper that envelped my crayns and snapped them in tw. My great enthusiasm was dampened t find just mre crayn inside. When I started writing wrds with pencils, I wuld twist them inside a sharpener t see if the pencil lead went all the way thrugh the bdy. Grwing up, I saw my televisin taken apart t reveal the inner wrkings that nly made sense when I did a degree in physics.
Then I landed a career in engineering, spending six years as part f the team that designed the Shard, a famus building in Lndn. Actually, whether I knew it r nt, I was already n a missin t understand hw things are frmed.
After explring the big, I decided t turn t the small. I realized whatever matter frms human-made bjects, cmplex devices are made up f fundamental building blcks, withut which ur cmplex machinery wuldn’t exist.
It is this idea that inspired my bk where I select what I believe are seven cre elements that frm the basis f the wrld-the nail, the wheel, the spring, the magnet, the lens, the pump and the string. Tgether they cmpse a vast range f innvatins in terms f their underlying (潜在的) scientific principles and the fields f engineering they tuch. They’ve changed ur technlgy, and had a sweeping impact n ur histry, arts, culture, cmmunicatin, plitical and pwer structures, etc.
The blender we use t make baby’s fd relies n gears (齿轮), which culdn’t exist withut the wheel. The speaker n the phne relies n a magnet. Even when we think f larger and mre cmplex bjects-diggers, skyscrapers, satellites-we cme back t the same seven fundatinal innvatins.

A fashin shw that features elderly peple as mdels is a rarity. One with elderly Black African mdels is even rarer. Perhaps that’s why Nigerian visual artist Malik Afegbua gt s much attentin frm arund the wrld when he psted images titled “The Elders Series” n scial media last mnth shwing senirs n a fashin runway, dressed in stylish and clrful clthes.
“The inspiratin behind this series was my mum,” explained Afegbua, 38. “She had a strke(中风), and I am very clse t her. I just needed an utlet t find a way t express myself and nt think abut her n a life-supprt machine. I wanted t think abut her in a happy place.”

Afegbua says he experiments with different phases, refining his search terms until he gets an image he likes, and then edits it in Phtshp-repeating the prcess until he achieves the effect he’s lking fr.
Afegbua believes AI can be a pwerful tl fr the arts-film and televisin in particular. “It’s here t ’s ging t advance and it’s ging t get better,” he said. But he says the rle f a human creatr is still key. “AI is nt All. It can’t think by itself. There is always s human being behind it-t put things in mtin,” he added.

Cnflict (冲突) between teenagers and parents happens fr a lt f reasns. Smetimes cnflict happens between teenagers and parents just because cnflict happens between human beings anyway.

I am thinking tday abut my new favrite thing. It’s an app that my husband tld me a few years ag that helps me bypass all the bstacles (障碍) in my way: pthles, heavy traffic, and even speed cameras.
T be hnest, when my husband first tld me abut it, I didn’t pay much attentin. I was nly ging t places I already knew hw t get t. Plus, I learned t drive frm my father—wh never turned t a map. I think I mistakenly absrbed the message that real drivers didn’t need a map; yu smehw just magically knew where t g. It was nly later that I realized that just getting a driver’s license didn’t mean yu knew hw t get t places—that was lessn ne. Lessn tw came when my kids started playing n tw different travel teams. The drivers in ur husehld suddenly had the need t head in different directins n the same day.
Suddenly my app became very meaningful t me. Hw did I ever manage t get t strange playing fields hidden smewhere withut it? But the crazy thing I have als nticed is hw ften I just dn’t listen t it. Why might that be? D I just prefer the ld rutes, even if they are actually wrse? I see an analgy (类比) t the present mment. There is evidence that sme ld ideas and sme lng familiar ideas will send us int a bring unchanging lifestyle. But fr sme reasn we like them better than an unfamiliar new rute that might take us int areas we’ve never heard f, let alne visited.
It can be hard t admit we dn’t knw everything. As a persn wh still drives an 8-year-ld stick shift and wh has never std in line fr anything new, I certainly understand that. But I als try t remember the times I let g f my eg (自负), r my fear, and learned that life culd be better. Nt perfect—but better. I am glad I finally listened t my husband abut that app. He was right.

Test 19（2023·吉林·统考一模）
Phebe Cx grew up in what might seem an unlikely mental health danger zne fr a kid: tny Pal Alt, Califrnia. But behind its surface f family success and wealth, she said, is an envirnment f heavy pressure n students t perfrm. By 2016, when Cx was in middle schl, Pal Alt had a teen suicide (自杀) rate fur times the natinal average.
Cx’s family lived by the railrad tracks where many f the suicides ccurred. She gt cunseling (咨询). But that chice is nt always easily available t teens in crisis — and she and her peers regarded schl mental health services as their last chice because f cncerns abut privacy.
A new prgram prvides an alternative. Called Allcve, it ffers unattached health and wellness sites t thse ages 12 t 25. Althugh Allcve is built t supprt a wide range f physical, emtinal and scial needs, its main gal is t deal with mental health challenges befre they develp int deeper prblems. Cx said, “I felt pretty helpless as a yung teenager, but Allcve is all abut the students and the students’ needs.”
Abut half f all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14 and 75% befre age 25, accrding t researchers. Yet access t mental health care in the U.S. is lacking. Accrding t the Natinal Alliance n Mental Illness, sme 30 millin adults and children with mental health cnditins g withut treatment, and 129 millin peple live in areas with shrtages f mental health prfessinals.
Allcve prvides fully staffed safe spaces fr teens and yung adults t discuss and deal with their health, bth mental and physical. Dr. Steven Adelsheim, a psychiatrist, wh created the Allcve in 2014, said, “There is a crying need in the U.S. t reach kids with early interventin and help.” Smetimes a kid may cme in with a physical cmplaint, and nly after a few visits is the mental suffering brught ut int the pen. When that happens, Alcve can make a “warm handff” t a mental health specialist nsite. Success, say Adelsheim and Cx, wuld mean the establishment f hundreds f Allcve centers up and dwn the state and, eventually, arund the cuntry.
13. Why did Cx and her peers regard schl mental health services as their last chice?
