B Four years ago, Rome Leykin was on his way to work when he accidentally fell onto the tracks of Brooklyn's train as a subway was approaching. The incident resulted in the loss of both of his legs. But surprisingly, with the loss of his legs, Leykin gained a new passion for racing. Before his accident, he wasn't really that athletic. He would just occasionally play basketball. But that all changed after he was introduced to hand cycling. “When I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, this is great. You don't even need legs to use it. This is perfect.’” he said. “So, I got on it, I rode and fell in love with it right away.” Within a few months, he completed the TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a 40-mile ride through New York City. After that, he did his first marathon in 2021. He fished that race in 2 hours and 11 minutes, placing 12th out of 38. “I'm going to attend this year's marathon and take on challenges. My hands are on the wheel, my eyes are focused, and I think my time is going to speak for itself.” he said. He's made a significant commitment to training. He hand cycles at least 13.1 miles a couple times a week and spends a lot of time in the gym. And he plans to keep pursuing his athlete goals. He wants to complete the Abbott Six-the world's six largest marathons. One day, he said, he'll maybe even make the Paralympics. For those who might be following his journey, he hopes they will take some lessons from his story. “There will be ups and downs but the trend is what's important. Focus on the good,” he said. “And also, take your big problems and split them into small solutions. And then all of a sudden, your big problems turn into many small wins.” 4. What can we learn about Rome Leykin from paragraph 2? A. He once was an excellent basketball player. B. He considered hand cycling difficult in the beginning. C. He made hand cycling more popular among the disabled. D. He showed an interest in hand cycling the moment he saw it. 5. How did Rome Leykin feel about the coming marathon? A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Nervous. 6 Which of the following can best describe Rome Leykin? A. Easy-going and reliable. B. Kind-hearted and helpful. C. Open-minded and creative. D. Strong-willed and ambitious. 7. What message does Rome Leykin convey in the last paragraph? A. Stick to your dreams. B. Break down your goals. C. Focus on your strengths. D. Achieve success at all costs. C It was raining like nothing before when Ehdaa Bujeldain, an English teacher living with her family in the mountains of Derna in eastern Libya , heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion (爆炸). Later they learned that a dam (大坝) in Derna had broken down under the pressure of running water. For the next four days, they had no power or internet, and it was only recently that they started to fully understand of the damage caused by the floods. “Half of the city has been destroyed. My mom’s relatives, my friends, my coworkers ——they are all gone. Now we, the survivors, are just ghost s in shells,” says Bujeldain, whose sadness can be easily told from her blank expression. Five days have passed since the terrible flooding in Derna, Libya’s Red Crescent organization estimated that 11,300 people have died, while the city’s mayor believes the number of deaths could be as high as 20,000. Derna is a coastal city with a seasonal river called the Wadi Derna. Despite the abnormally heavy rain, people living near the river had little warning before the floodwaters came rushing in on that terrible morning. United Nations aid chief Martin Griffiths described the scale of the flood as “appalling” (令人惊骇的) and blamed the flood partly on sudden climate change. Now international aid teams are arriving in Derna, but they face challenges due to damaged roads, lack of access to power, water, and fuel. Tarhoni, doctor of the rescue team, warns that the most difficult weeks lie ahead. “One disaster is done and there is another to come,” he says. “The thousands and thousands of people who lost everything these people now need comfort, they need company, they need psychological support.” 8. What do we know about Bujeldain’s family from paragraph 1? A. The explosion they heard led to the destruction of the dam. B. Bujeldain saved her family from the floods with her bravery. C. Bujeldain immediately recognized the outbreak of the floods. D. For several days, they didn’t fully realize the seriousness of the floods. 9. What does Bujeldain mean by saying they are “just ghosts in shells” in paragraph 2? A. They run out of energy and are very tired. B. They feel lucky as they are safe and sound. C. They are completely saddened and shocked. D. They are sorry for the loss of their homeland. 10. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT contribute to the loss of lives? A The absence of warning. B. The extraordinary rainfall. C. Unexpected climate change. D. The damage to environment. 11. What might be the main focus of international aid efforts in Derna? A. Addressing mental problems. B. Providing immediate medical care. C. Conducting climate change research. D. Rebuilding roads and access to resources. D Have you ever wondered why other people don’t see things the same way you do? Isn’t it confusing that you don’t necessarily share the same viewpoints even when you come from the same family? Why can’t they just see it my way? The scientific explanation comes from cognitive (认知的) psychology; it’s a mental process known as information processing. From a psychological perspective (角度), you have your own values, memories, and quality of emotion. With every event you experience, the information comes in and is filtered (过滤) through your emotions, memories, and values. How you “see” yourself, others, and the world you live in will be influenced by what you’ve experienced or believe to be true. In other words, you don’t see things as they are - you see things as you are. You have a process for filtering information and it may seem a bit strange to you, especially when others don’t agree with the same beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. What if you considered, even for just a moment, that what you are seeing is only one possibility - and that there are several other ways to understand a situation? In every walk of life, you find yourself stand up for what you believe in, arguing for how you member something that happened, and trying to influence others to see things your way. But what if you’re missing the important point that your differences are what make life colorful? Those differences are what stimulate (促进) your mind and emotions. Without differences, life would be dull. There would be no “aha” moment if you knew everything. There would be no inspiration (灵感) in the form of art, music, poetry, style, or communication. There will be times in your life when you might have to set limits with other people and, at the end of the day, you want to feel understood and appreciated. Learning to honor your viewpoints, while others have their own is important in a world where everyone is different. 12. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text to play a role in information processing? A. Experiences. B. Personalities. C. Memory. D. Emotions. 13. What does the author suggest you do when there are different opinions? A. Insist on your own beliefs and values. B. Ignore what things actually are. C. Listen to and follow others’ opinion completely. D. Respect both your and others’ opinions. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards differences among people? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Confused. D. Surprised. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Why Nobody Understands You? B. How Come You Are So Unique? C. Who is Responsible for Disagreement? D. What Makes You Think You’re Right? 第二节 7选5（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Goals give our lives meaning and help us become better versions of ourselves. ____16____ Have you started working towards your goal but over time felt that it’s just too high a mountain to climb? As humans, we are built to naturally see the problems and easily punish ourselves for bad behavior. Our mindset can bring us down when we feel we’ve failed. ____17____ So what is the secret to achieving big goals? Many people may put the success of others down to luck or a natural talent. ____18____ Most of the time it is down to a particular mindset and the way of looking at their goals as a whole. ____19____ It took Edison almost 10,000 attempts to create a light bulb — that’s a huge number of “failures”. But in response to his repeated failures, he said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”. It’s quite clear that he had a mindset and a positive perspective that allowed him to celebrate those small steps and see them as achievements. The key to success is realizing that our big goals aren’t going to happen overnight. ____20____ It is the combination of those small things over time that leads to the achievement of the big goals. A. Yes, this can be the case, but not always. B. We all want to be successful in our goals. C. Take Thomas Edison, who invented the light bulb for example. D. This usually results in giving up on dreams and goals. E. We tend to focus on the end goals rather than the small steps. F. We must invest in the small things over a long period of time. G. But have you ever tried to reach a big goal only to eventually give up? 第二部分 语言知识运用（共30分） 第一节 完型填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 One day, my son Ryan said, ‌“I’m going to keep working until everyone in Africa has clean water.” I thought, oh, boy!
