However, there is something different. Sitienei is more than 80 years older than them. February 11 was Sitienei’s ninety-ninth birthday. “The main reason for my returning to school was that I would like to become a doctor because I used to be a midwife (助产士),” she said. She added that her children supported her decision. Back in 2003, the government of the East African country began helping to pay for the cost of primary schooling.

This left many Chinese feeling amazed. With the international situation becoming increasingly challenging, Huawei was encountering significant financial issues. For instance, its revenue (收入) in 2021 declined nearly 30 percent, according to its annual report. For a company like Huawei, this was a major shock and could pose a persistent problem that needed immediate attention. Therefore, it was crucial for Huawei to have its own core technology, especially when it came to chips. Developing chips is a lengthy, demanding, and labor-intensive (劳动密集型的) process, but this didn’t stop Huawei. Instead of purchasing or leasing products from other countries, Huawei decided to invest heavily in research and development. Huawei’s difficulties are similar to those faced by modern China in its early days. During that time, China lacked advanced technology. Despite this, China managed to develop its own atomic bombs, aircraft carriers, satellites, and fighter jets starting from zero. These advancements guided the country to prosperity and power. With a determined attitude and united team, Huawei has been successful in breaking free from the chains of past difficulties. In this context, Huawei is “a light canoe that has passed the mountains”.  As a storm of trouble approached, Huawei chose to confront it rather than give up. Huawei’s attitude of struggling and pushing ahead is the best presentation of the Chinese national spirit and serves as an example for others to follow. In the face of life’s unknown challenges, the key is to look ahead and not give in. 12. What’s the most important thing for Huawei to solve problems? A. Independently developing chips. B. Purchasing products from other countries. C. Investing in other industries. D. Raising a large amount of funds. 13. Why did the author mention the four advancements in the third paragraph? A. Thanks to advanced technology, China has developed its own atomic bombs. B. Even in the face of various difficulties, Huawei is bound to succeed. C. Advancements of atomic bombs guided the country to prosperity and power. D. Huawei has passed the mountains to solve the significant financial issues. 14.

Huawei have the same difficulties as others. B. Huawei encounters financial issue C. Huawei overcomes challenges D.

This left many Chinese feeling amazed. With the international situation becoming increasingly challenging, Huawei was encountering significant financial issues. For instance, its revenue (收入) in 2021 declined nearly 30 percent, according to its annual report. For a company like Huawei, this was a major shock and could pose a persistent problem that needed immediate attention. Therefore, it was crucial for Huawei to have its own core technology, especially when it came to chips. Developing chips is a lengthy, demanding, and labor-intensive (劳动密集型的) process, but this didn’t stop Huawei. Instead of purchasing or leasing products from other countries, Huawei decided to invest heavily in research and development. Huawei’s difficulties are similar to those faced by modern China in its early days. During that time, China lacked advanced technology. Despite this, China managed to develop its own atomic bombs, aircraft carriers, satellites, and fighter jets starting from zero. These advancements guided the country to prosperity and power. With a determined attitude and united team, Huawei has been successful in breaking free from the chains of past difficulties. In this context, Huawei is “a light canoe that has passed the mountains”.  As a storm of trouble approached, Huawei chose to confront it rather than give up. Huawei’s attitude of struggling and pushing ahead is the best presentation of the Chinese national spirit and serves as an example for others to follow. In the face of life’s unknown challenges, the key is to look ahead and not give in. 12. What’s the most important thing for Huawei to solve problems? A. Independently developing chips. B. Purchasing products from other countries. C. Investing in other industries. D. Raising a large amount of funds. 13. Why did the author mention the four advancements in the third paragraph? A. Thanks to advanced technology, China has developed its own atomic bombs. B. Even in the face of various difficulties, Huawei is bound to succeed. C. Advancements of atomic bombs guided the country to prosperity and power. D. Huawei has passed the mountains to solve the significant financial issues. 14. According to the passage, what does the underlined word mean? A. escape from B. understand. C. separate D. challenge 15. What’s the best title of the passage? A. Huawei have the same difficulties as others. B. Huawei encounters financial issue C. Huawei overcomes challenges D. Huawei launched the Mate 60 Pro. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了华为克服挑战在技术方面取得巨大进步，即使未来也会遇到何种困难，这种精神也会克服挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Therefore, it was crucial for Huawei to have its own core technology, especially when it came to chips. (因此，对于华为来说，拥有自己的核心技术至关重要，尤其是在芯片方面。)”可知，华为解决问题最重要的是独立开发芯片。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段中“Huawei’s difficulties are similar to those faced by modern China in its early days. During that time, China lacked advanced technology. Despite this, China managed to develop its own atomic bombs, aircraft carriers, satellites, and fighter jets starting from zero. These advancements guided the country to prosperity and power. (华为面临的困难与现代中国早期面临的困难类似。当时，中国缺乏先进技术。尽管如此，中国还是从零开始研制出了自己的原子弹、航空母舰、卫星和战斗机。这些进步指引着国家走向繁荣富强。)”可知，这几项技术，我国都是从零开始的，但最终都取得了成功，因此作者在第三段提到了这四个进步想说明即使面对种种困难，华为也一定会成功。本题选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章最后一段中“As a storm of trouble approached (当麻烦的风暴逼近时)”和“rather than give up (而不是放弃)”可知，当麻烦的风暴逼近时，华为不是放弃，选择了面对，故confront 的意思为“解决(问题或闲境)”。A. escape from逃离；B. understand理解；C. separate分开；D. challenge接受挑战。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段中“As a storm of trouble approached, Huawei chose to confront it rather than give up. Huawei’s attitude of struggling and pushing ahead is the best presentation of the Chinese national spirit and serves as an example for others to follow. In the face of life’s unknown challenges, the key is to look ahead and not give in. (当麻烦的风暴逼近时，华为选择了面对，而不是放弃。华为奋斗进取的态度是中华民族精神的最好体现，也是其他企业学习的榜样。面对生活中未知的挑战，关键是向前看，不要屈服。)”可知，文章主要介绍了华为克服挑战在技术方面取得巨大进步，即使未来也会遇到何种困难，这种精神也会克服挑战。故选C。 二、七选五 （福建省厦门市2023-2024学年高二上学期期末英语质检）Although many of us may accept in theory that failure is a necessary component of all learning and growth, in practice, ___16___. We may know that we need a growth mindset in order to develop, but failure remains an experience that is often associated with shame. There are various reasons why we may fear failure. ___17___. When we fail at something, our self-image suffers. We may feel worthless, and we may criticize ourselves for our failure. If we fail publicly, our failure will be visible to others. We may fear other people’s judgment. We may fear that our failure will impact or end our career, or else that it will damage our fame. How, then, can we overcome our fear of failure so that we can truly benefit from what failing has to teach us? ___18___. Reminding yourself that there is no growth without failure — no learning, no development, no new experiences — can help you see what you dislike in a new light. Be open to learning from failure for overall development. ___19___. Try to learn a new skill or hobby — a sport, cooking, dancing, drawing, playing an instrument — and be kind to yourself in the learning process. Mindfully allow yourself to fail, to try again, to fail again but better, and try again, until you get somewhere. Keep a little diary in which you record what your failures have taught you. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself when you fail, ask yourself: What can I learn from this experience? And remember: ___20___. A. we can easily make the most of it B. Look at your attitudes about failing C. we often struggle greatly with failing D. Build your failure muscle gently in a safe space E. Fear may prevent you from seeking new experiences F.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一些面对失败的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Although many of us may accept in theory that failure is a necessary component of all learning and growth, in practice(虽然我们中的许多人可能在理论上接受失败是所有学习和成长的必要组成部分，但在实践中)”以及后文“We may know that we need a growth mindset in order to develop, but failure remains an experience that is often associated with shame.(我们可能知道，为了发展，我们需要一种成长的心态，但失败仍然是一种经常与羞耻联系在一起的经历)”可知，上文although表示转折，说明许多人明白接受失败是所有学习和成长的必要组成部分，但是在实践中还是会因为失败感到痛苦。故C选项“我们经常为失败而苦苦挣扎”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据上文“There are various reasons why we may fear failure.(我们害怕失败的原因有很多)”以及后文“When we fail at something, our self-image suffers. We may feel worthless, and we may criticize ourselves for our failure.(当我们在某件事上失败时，我们的自我形象就会受到影响。我们可能会觉得自己毫无价值，我们可能会因为自己的失败而批评自己)”可知，本句承接上文说明我们害怕失败的原因是什么。G选项中self-worth对应后文worthless。故G选项“也许最常见的是我们的自我价值倾向于与成功联系在一起”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Reminding yourself that there is no growth without failure — no learning, no development, no new experiences — can help you see what you dislike in a new light. Be open to learning from failure for overall development.(提醒自己没有失败就没有成长——没有学习，没有发展，没有新的经历——可以帮助你以新的眼光看待你不喜欢的东西。为了全面的发展，愿意从失败中学习)”可知，后文主要说明了用新的眼光看待失败，从失败中学习，即用新的态度对待失败。故B选项“看看你对失败的态度”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“Try to learn a new skill or hobby — a sport, cooking, dancing, drawing, playing an instrument — and be kind to yourself in the learning process. Mindfully allow yourself to fail, to try again, to fail again but better, and try again, until you get somewhere.(试着学习一项新技能或爱好——一项运动、烹饪、舞蹈、绘画、演奏乐器——在学习过程中善待自己。有意识地允许自己失败，再试一次，再试一次，但会更好，再试一次，直到你到达某个地方)”可知，后文提到“有意识地允许自己失败，再试一次，再试一次，但会更好，再试一次，直到你到达某个地方”，即通过练习逐渐锻炼面对失败时的心态。故D选项“在一个安全的空间里慢慢地锻炼你的失败肌肉”符合语境，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Keep a little diary in which you record what your failures have taught you. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself when you fail, ask yourself: What can I learn from this experience? And remember(写一个小日记，记录你从失败中学到的东西。当你失败时，不要为自己感到难过，而要问自己：我能从这次经历中学到什么？记住)”可知，本句主要说明了上文想要读者记住的事情，故F选项“虽然失败很痛苦，但从未尝试过成功更糟糕”符合语境，故选F。 三、完形填空 （河南省商丘市二十校2023-2024学年高二下学期期中联考）No one expected Jamie MoCrazy to live after her fall.

However, his mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send Kenneth to the teacher. Then one day Kenneth stopped attending the piano lessons. The teacher thought that he had given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give much hope to Kenneth. Not long after, the piano teacher was given the task to organize a piano concert in the town. She sent out leaflets to invite the students and public to attend the event. Suddenly, she received a call from Kenneth who offered to take part in the concert. The teacher told him that he was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he had stopped coming for lessons. Kenneth begged her to give him a chance and promised that he would not let her down. Finally, she gave in and she put him to play last, hoping that he would change his mind at the last minute.

A scream of cheers burst out at the end of his presentation. After the performance, the piano teacher asked Kenneth how he managed to play so brilliantly. With thrilling tears, Kenneth let out the secret. Having to look after his mother, he had to drop out of the lessons. Every day he spared no effort to practice on the paper keyboard he drew. “I’m not talented, but I don’t want to disappoint my mum,” Kenneth added. “It is diligence that makes up for my deficiency.” As the teacher watched into Kenneth’s eyes, she saw a hero glistening with the sparkling concert lights. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了由于没有音乐天赋，肯尼斯学习钢琴的速度很慢，老师没对肯尼斯抱太大希望，但是肯尼斯的母亲非常渴望听到并享受和欣赏肯尼斯的钢琴声，每周都会送他去上钢琴课。肯尼斯一段时间没来上课。钢琴老师要在镇上组织一场钢琴音乐会，在肯尼斯的恳求之下，老师决定给肯尼斯一个机会。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，轮到肯尼斯上场表演了。”可知，第一段可描写肯尼斯开始很紧张，但最后他的琴声得到了观众的掌声。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出结束后，钢琴老师问肯尼斯他是如何弹得如此精彩的。”可知，第二段可描写肯尼斯告诉老师自己一直在练习，并解释了一直在努力的原因。 2.续写线索：上场——紧张——获得掌声——询问原因——勤奋——闪闪发光 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①破坏：spoil/destroy/ruin ②说出：let out/speak out ③照顾：look after/take care of 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②惊讶的：amazed/surprised 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Into the crowd’s sight came a puny lad, whose heart was pounding with nervousness.（由介词短语置于句首，句子使用完全倒装结构，由关系词whose引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】It is diligence that makes up for my deficiency.（运用了强调句句型） 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
