Madeleine L’Engle died more than a decade ago, but her work lives on in the more than 40 books she published. Last month, L’Engle’s granddaughters, Lena Roy and Charlotte Jones Voiklis, published Becoming Madeleine, a biography of the legendary (传奇的) author. “We wanted to do something to honor her memory,” Roy said.
L’Engle was born on November 29, 1918. Her father was a writer. Young Madeleine watched him writing, absorbed in his creation of stories — real and fictional — and saw that it gave him both pleasure and frustration (失望). When L’Engle was 11, her parents dropped her off at boarding school and left her there. Although the experience was challenging, L’Engle later said that “it helped me become a writer.” In 1959, L’Engle began to write A Wrinkle in Time, which won the 1963 Newberyn Medal.
Roy is also the author of the novel Edges. Edges was much harder to write than Becoming Madeleine. Roy noted. “Edges was my ‘learning how to write’ experience,” she said. “There was just so much I didn’t know.”
Roy added that working with her sister on their biography was very meaningful. “We don’t have sibling rivalry (兄弟姐妹间的对抗) anymore,” she joked.
The biographers focus their story on L’Engle’s childhood. That is the period about which their 11-and 12-year-old selves would have been the most curious. “I’m so interested in how people become who they are,” Roy said. “What are all the experiences? Her Becoming Madeleine has been part of me becoming Lena.”
Roy got valuable writing advice from her grandmother. “There is always a message of hope in her writing,” Roy said, “and she believes that books should end on a positive note.”
Roy, in turn, has her own advice for aspiring (有志成为……的) writers. “Keep writing,” she said. “Read as much as you can. In writing and reading, we develop sympathy because we step into somebody else’s shoes. Read as much as you can about other cultures. Have experiences with people who are different from you. Don’t be afraid.”
24. What do we know about young L’Engle?
A. She liked going to boarding school. B. She wrote her first medal-winning work.
C. She learned a lot at boarding school. D. She enjoyed listening to various stories.
25. What is Becoming Madeleine about?
A. Madeleine’s literary achievements. B. Madeleine’s childhood experiences.
C. The authors’ competition with siblings. D. The authors’ experience of writing novels.
26. What did Roy learn from her grandmother?
A. Show hope to readers. B. Be thoughtful and brave.
C. Learn from other cultures. D. Talk with different people.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Becoming Madeleine B. Struggling to Become a Writer
C. Young Author’s Advice on Writing D. Madeleine L’ Engle, Author of A Wrinkle in Time
C
The first formal count of polar bears in waters between the United States and Russia indicates they’re doing better than some of their cousins elsewhere.
Polar bears are listed as a threatened species because of reduced sea ice due to climate change. But university and federal researchers estimate a healthy population of nearly 3,000 animals in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast, according to a study published in Scientific Reports.
“In the short term, it's absolutely good news,” said lead author Eric Regehr. In the long term, it doesn’t mean the Chukchi Sea bear population will not be affected. “Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, and the ice is likely to decline until the problem of climate change is addressed,” Regehr said. “Polar bears spend most of their lives on sea ice. Less sea ice means less productive time to hunt ice seals, more time on shore and longer swims.”
The study shows there is variation around the world in the effects of sea ice loss on polar bears. “Some subpopulations are already declining while others are still doing OK,” Regehr said.
Fewer cubs (幼熊) were surviving into their second year and adult males weighed less and had smaller skulls (头骨). Researcher Steven Amstrup said the trends were consistent with changes in nutritional status likely associated with declines in Sea ice.
A more recent study by researcher Karyn Rode found that Chukchi bears spend more time on shore and have almost 30 fewer days to hunt seals on ice than 20 years ago. However, that doesn’t appear to have affected the population. Polar bears have an amazing ability to build fat reserves, and the Chukchi’s copious seal population apparently allows bears to compensate for the loss of hunting time.
28. What news is reported at the beginning of the text?
A. Polar bears are severely affected by sea ice loss.
B. Polar bears have been listed as a threatened species.
C. A large polar bear population has been found in the Chukchi Sea.
D. The melting of Arctic sea ice may lead to severe climate change.
29. What might Regehr think of the Chukchi bears?
A. They might be found in other areas.
B. They might be endangered in the near future.
C. They might help scientists fight climate change.
D. They might decrease in numbers in the distant future.
30. Which of the following is the effect of sea ice loss on polar bears?
A. They have to stay in water.
B. They have to live in groups.
C. They are becoming lazier than before.
D. They are suffering from changes in their nutrition.
31. What does the underlined word “copious” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Decreasing. B. Plentiful. C. Diverse. D. Adult.
D
The “open science” concept is gaining more followers, especially through the efforts of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Over the past several years, the Organization has been consulting on how science can become more collaborative (协作的), transparent, accessible, equitable and inclusive. At the end of last year, UNESCO published a report on the current status of this effort.
UNESCO’s report described several examples of positive initiatives, such as in research collaboration, open-access scientific publishing and public engagement in science. For example, in 2020, the Brazilian government launched the National Platform of Research Infrastructure, a digital platform in which scientific institutions can register their available facilities and make them available to researchers outside their organization. The European Commission, based in Brussels, was an early supporter of open science. Between 2002 and 2020, it increased its funding for societal engagement projects from €88 million to €462 million.
Other indicators are less rosy, however. Around three-quarters of publications in open-access databases are in just six languages — with nearly half being in English alone. And in spite of some of the progress mentioned, overall the report finds that scientific institutions, such as universities, national science academies and journals, are struggling to include communities, in all their diversity, in the process of creating scientific knowledge itself.
The United Nations (UN)’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the best attempt to map a pathway towards a better future, and a more open approach to science could have a larger part to play in achieving them.
That attempt needs as much help as it can get: Monitoring SDGs indicators is one obvious way that citizen scientists can help. Some of the largest gaps in the collection of relevant SDGs data are in low-and middle-income countries, which is where citizen research can really make a difference.
The UNESCO report shines a much-needed light on some promising developments in open science. The challenge will be how to accumulate (累积) individual examples of good practice into something similar to a critical mass, so that, in cases such as monitoring the SDGs, they can be made use of to get the world to where it needs to be.
32. How did the Brazilian government contribute to open science?
A. It made Internet more accessible worldwide.
B It set up a digital resource-sharing platform.
C. It funded Europe’s societal engagement projects.
D. It translated publications into multiple languages.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Examples of some new initiatives.
B. Indicators of a promising science field.
C. Problems of current open science.
D. Difficulties of creating scientific knowledge.
34. What is a suggested way to help achieve SDGs?
A. Helping the poor increase their incomes.
B. Creating city maps around the world.
C. Providing more support for online technology.
D. Encouraging citizens to engage in science.
35. What can we learn from the text?
A. There is a long way to go for global open science.
B. Professional scientists should give way to citizens.
C. Poor countries are unlikely to benefit from open science.
D. More successful models are needed to convince UNESCO.

67. 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。
I loved the spelling bee(拼字比赛) so much that every afternoon after school, I would diligently train. However, little did I know that my opponent in the spelling bee would one day become a cherished friend.
On Friday morning, I woke up at 6:27. My usual waking time was 7:01, granting me an unexpected thirty-four extra minutes to study. As the best speller in my class, I was determined to win the Meadowbrook Middle School spelling bee and defeat my opponent, Nathan Fortescue.
Nathan was a devotee of science and math. He wasn’t really a speller at heart; he was a mathematician. Nathan and I had nothing in common except being good spellers. Besides, he seemed to spell well without much effort.
I went to the kitchen and found Dad making breakfast. I told him about the spelling test and my anxiety. He quizzed me on some words, but they were easy for me. Then he asked, “How do you spell ‘argument’?” I confidently replied, “Easy, A-R-G-U-E-M-E-N-T,” without a second thought.
Dad shook his head. I didn’t believe him, so I checked the dictionary. When I came back,he said I should thank him because that word might be on the test.
As I shut the classroom door, a voice came from the back of the room. “You’re looking a bit pale. I’m afraid you might not make it through the spelling bee,” Nathan said with a smile as he closed a giant book with dancing numbers on its cover.
“I bet a literature word will knock you out in the first round,” I replied.
Then Ms. Hawking entered the room, explaining the rules—one miss and you are out—and the spelling test began. After four intense rounds, only Nathan and I remained. “Olivia, your word is ‘algorithm’,” Ms. Hawking announced. I had never heard that word before, but I spelt it: “A-L-G-O-R-Y-T-H-M.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ms. Hawking frowned and said that’s incorrect.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After class, I sobbed when I felt a hand on my arm.

【原文】Now we have a program for those who love acting. This program gives young actors the experience of developing complex characters and performing a full-length production while receiving top-level training. Each actor will receive a role and will be given time to shine on the stage at the end of the week. Children aged between 13 and 16 can take part in the program.
The play is written by Lisa Nanni-Messegee. Todd Messegee will be the director. On the first Monday we meet, actors act for some time to find a suitable role in the play. By the end of the day, they begin developing characters and learning about the play. This continues through mid-week, along with focus on specialty skills that may be needed in the production. On these days, they’ll receive some training on acting. On Thursday, the actors are running the show off-book and memorizing their material. On Friday, the whole group is performing on stage, in a recorded performance. A digital copy of the performance will be shared with actors after the program is complete. This is a very exciting challenge for any actor! It’ll begin on 26th and end on 30th. Practicing time is from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm every day. Only ten will be admitted. If you’re interested, contact us early. Due to safety restrictions, space is extremely limited in each age group. Registering early is recommended.

Madeleine L’Engle died more than a decade ago, but her work lives on in the more than 40 books she published. Last month, L’Engle’s granddaughters, Lena Roy and Charlotte Jones Voiklis, published Becoming Madeleine, a biography of the legendary (传奇的) author. “We wanted to do something to honor her memory,” Roy said.
L’Engle was born on November 29, 1918. Her father was a writer. Young Madeleine watched him writing, absorbed in his creation of stories — real and fictional — and saw that it gave him both pleasure and frustration (失望). When L’Engle was 11, her parents dropped her off at boarding school and left her there. Although the experience was challenging, L’Engle later said that “it helped me become a writer.” In 1959, L’Engle began to write A Wrinkle in Time, which won the 1963 Newberyn Medal.
Roy is also the author of the novel Edges. Edges was much harder to write than Becoming Madeleine. Roy noted. “Edges was my ‘learning how to write’ experience,” she said. “There was just so much I didn’t know.”
Roy added that working with her sister on their biography was very meaningful. “We don’t have sibling rivalry (兄弟姐妹间的对抗) anymore,” she joked.
The biographers focus their story on L’Engle’s childhood. That is the period about which their 11-and 12-year-old selves would have been the most curious. “I’m so interested in how people become who they are,” Roy said. “What are all the experiences? Her Becoming Madeleine has been part of me becoming Lena.”
Roy got valuable writing advice from her grandmother. “There is always a message of hope in her writing” Roy said, “and she believes that books should end on a positive note.”
Roy, in turn, has her own advice for aspiring (有志成为……的) writers. “Keep writing,” she said. “Read as much as you can. In writing and reading, we develop sympathy because we step into somebody else’s shoes. Read as much as you can about other cultures. Have experiences with people who are different from you. Don’t be afraid.”
24. What do we know about young L’Engle?
A. She liked going to boarding school. B. She wrote her first medal-winning work.
C. She learned a lot at boarding school. D. She enjoyed listening to various stories.
25. What is Becoming Madeleine about?
A. Madeleine’s literary achievements. B. Madeleine’s childhood experiences.
C. The authors’ competition with siblings. D. The authors’ experience of writing novels.
26. What did Roy learn from her grandmother?
A. Show hope to readers. B. Be thoughtful and brave.
C. Learn from other cultures. D. Talk with different people.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Becoming Madeleine B. Struggling to Become a Writer
C. Young Author’s Advice on Writing D. Madeleine L’ Engle, Author of A Wrinkle in Time
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要说明了L’ Engle的孙女Lena Roy和Charlotte Jones Voiklis出版了传奇作家玛德琳的传记《成为玛德琳》。介绍了Madeleine L’Engle的个人经历以及Roy对创作这本传记背后的一些想法。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“When L’Engle was 11, her parents dropped her off at boarding school and left her there. Although the experience was challenging, L’Engle later said that “it helped me become a writer.”(当L’Engle11岁的时候,她的父母把她送到了寄宿学校,并把她留在了那里。尽管那段经历充满挑战,但L’Engle后来说:“它帮助我成为了一名作家。”)”可知,年轻的L’Engle在寄宿学校学到很多东西,为日后成为一名作家打下了坚实的基础。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The biographers focus their story on L’Engle’s childhood.(传记作者把他们的故事集中在恩格尔的童年)”可知,《成为玛德琳》讲的是玛德琳的童年经历。故选B。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Roy got valuable writing advice from her grandmother. “There is always a message of hope in her writing,” Roy said, “and she believes that books should end on a positive note.”(罗伊从祖母那里得到了宝贵的写作建议。“她的作品中总是传递着希望的信息,”罗伊说,“她相信书应该以积极的基调结束。”)”可知,Madeleine L’ Engle的作品总是积极乐观,能给读者带来希望,而这也正是Roy从祖母那里学到的东西,即Roy从她祖母那里学到了传达希望给读者。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Madeleine L’Engle died more than a decade ago, but her work lives on in the more than 40 books she published. Last month, L’Engle’s granddaughters, Lena Roy and Charlotte Jones Voiklis, published Becoming Madeleine, a biography of the legendary (传奇的) author.(玛德琳·恩格尔十多年前就去世了,但她的作品在她出版的40多本书中得以延续。上个月,恩格尔的孙女莉娜·罗伊和夏洛特·琼斯·沃克利斯出版了这位传奇作家的传记《成为玛德琳》)”结合本文主要介绍了Madeleine L’Engle的两个孙女为祖母写的传记Becoming Madeleine。用A选项“成为玛德琳”作标题,既是在介绍该书的名称,又突出了孙女向祖母学习,最终通过自己的努力成为一名像祖母那样的作家的主题,一语双关。故选A。
C
The first formal count of polar bears in waters between the United States and Russia indicates they’re doing better than some of their cousins elsewhere.
Polar bears are listed as a threatened species because of reduced sea ice due to climate change. But university and federal researchers estimate a healthy population of nearly 3,000 animals in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast, according to a study published in Scientific Reports.
“In the short term, it's absolutely good news,” said lead author Eric Regehr. In the long term, it doesn’t mean the Chukchi Sea bear population will not be affected. “Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, and the ice is likely to decline until the problem of climate change is addressed,” Regehr said. “Polar bears spend most of their lives on sea ice. Less sea ice means less productive time to hunt ice seals, more time on shore and longer swims.”
The study shows there is variation around the world in the effects of sea ice loss on polar bears. “Some subpopulations are already declining while others are still doing OK,” Regehr said.
Fewer cubs (幼熊) were surviving into their second year and adult males weighed less and had smaller skulls (头骨). Researcher Steven Amstrup said the trends were consistent with changes in nutritional status likely associated with declines in Sea ice.
A more recent study by researcher Karyn Rode found that Chukchi bears spend more time on shore and have almost 30 fewer days to hunt seals on ice than 20 years ago. However, that doesn’t appear to have affected the population. Polar bears have an amazing ability to build fat reserves, and the Chukchi’s copious seal population apparently allows bears to compensate for the loss of hunting time.
28. What news is reported at the beginning of the text?
A. Polar bears are severely affected by sea ice loss.
B. Polar bears have been listed as a threatened species.
C. A large polar bear population has been found in the Chukchi Sea.
D. The melting of Arctic sea ice may lead to severe climate change.
29. What might Regehr think of the Chukchi bears?
A. They might be found in other areas.
B. They might be endangered in the near future.
C. They might help scientists fight climate change.
D. They might decrease in numbers in the distant future.
30 Which of the following is the effect of sea ice loss on polar bears?
A. They have to stay in water.
B. They have to live in groups.
C. They are becoming lazier than before.
D. They are suffering from changes in their nutrition.
31. What does the underlined word “copious” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Decreasing. B. Plentiful. C. Diverse. D. Adult.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。由于气候变化导致海冰减少,北极熊被列为濒危物种。但根据发表在《科学报告》上的一项研究,大学和联邦研究人员估计,阿拉斯加西北海岸外的楚科奇海有近3000只健康的动物。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But university and federal researchers estimate a healthy population of nearly 3,000 animals in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska's northwest coast, according to a study published in Scientific Reports.(但根据发表在《科学报告》上的一项研究,大学和联邦研究人员估计,阿拉斯加西北海岸外的楚科奇海有近3000只健康的动物。)”可知,文章开头报道了一项新的发现:楚科奇海生活着大量健康的北极熊。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“‘In the long term, it doesn’t mean the Chukchi Sea bear population will not be affected. ’Polar bears need ice to hunt seals, and the ice is likely to decline until the problem of climate change is addressed,’ Regehr said.‘Polar bears spend most of their lives on sea ice. Less sea ice means less productive time to hunt ice seals, more time on shore and longer swims.’ (‘从长远来看,这并不意味着楚科奇海熊的数量不会受到影响。’雷格尔说:‘北极熊需要冰来捕猎海豹,而在气候变化问题得到解决之前,冰很可能会减少。’‘北极熊一生中大部分时间都生活在海冰上。海冰减少意味着捕猎冰海豹的时间减少,在岸上的时间更长,游泳的时间更长。’)”可知,虽然楚科奇海的北极熊短期内不会受到环境变化的影响,但是由于北极熊大部分时间都是在冰上度过,海冰的不断减少会严重影响它们的生存。因此可推知,Regehr认为如果环境问题得不到解决,未来楚科奇海的北极熊数量也可能会减少。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Fewer cubs were surviving into their second year and adult males weighed less and had smaller skulls. Researcher Steven Amstrup said the trends were consistent with changes in nutritional status likely associated with declines in Sea ice.(存活到第二年的幼崽越来越少,成年雄崽体重更轻,头骨也更小。研究人员史蒂文·阿姆斯特鲁普说,这种趋势与营养状况的变化是一致的,这可能与海冰的减少有关。)”可知,由于海冰减少,北极熊的营养状况会受到影响,幼熊难以存活、成年公熊体重减轻且头骨变小。故选D。
【31题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“allows bears to compensate for the loss of hunting time(让北极熊弥补狩猎时间的损失)”可推知,楚科奇海的海豹数量很多,可以弥补狩猎时间变少的问题。plentiful表示“众多的”,故选B。
D
The “open science” concept is gaining more followers, especially through the efforts of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Over the past several years, the Organization has been consulting on how science can become more collaborative (协作的), transparent, accessible, equitable and inclusive. At the end of last year, UNESCO published a report on the current status of this effort.
UNESCO’s report described several examples of positive initiatives, such as in research collaboration, open-access scientific publishing and public engagement in science. For example, in 2020, the Brazilian government launched the National Platform of Research Infrastructure, a digital platform in which scientific institutions can register their available facilities and make them available to researchers outside their organization. The European Commission, based in Brussels, was an early supporter of open science. Between 2002 and 2020, it increased its funding for societal engagement projects from €88 million to €462 million.
Other indicators are less rosy, however. Around three-quarters of publications in open-access databases are in just six languages — with nearly half being in English alone. And in spite of some of the progress mentioned, overall the report finds that scientific institutions, such as universities, national science academies and journals, are struggling to include communities, in all their diversity, in the process of creating scientific knowledge itself.
The United Nations (UN)’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the best attempt to map a pathway towards a better future, and a more open approach to science could have a larger part to play in achieving them.
That attempt needs as much help as it can get: Monitoring SDGs indicators is one obvious way that citizen scientists can help. Some of the largest gaps in the collection of relevant SDGs data are in low-and middle-income countries, which is where citizen research can really make a difference.
The UNESCO report shines a much-needed light on some promising developments in open science. The challenge will be how to accumulate (累积) individual examples of good practice into something similar to a critical mass, so that, in cases such as monitoring the SDGs, they can be made use of to get the world to where it needs to be.
32. How did the Brazilian government contribute to open science?
A. It made Internet more accessible worldwide.
B. It set up a digital resource-sharing platform.
C. It funded Europe’s societal engagement projects.
D. It translated publications into multiple languages.
33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Examples of some new initiatives.
B. Indicators of a promising science field.
C. Problems of current open science.
D. Difficulties of creating scientific knowledge.
34. What is a suggested way to help achieve SDGs?
A. Helping the poor increase their incomes.
B. Creating city maps around the world.
C. Providing more support for online technology.
D. Encouraging citizens to engage in science.
35. What can we learn from the text?
A. There is a long way to go for global open science.
B. Professional scientists should give way to citizens.
C. Poor countries are unlikely to benefit from open science.
D. More successful models are needed to convince UNESCO.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了联合国教科文组织在推动开放科学方面的努力与挑战。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For example, in 2020, the Brazilian government launched the National Platform of Research Infrastructure, a digital platform in which scientific institutions can register their available facilities and make them available to researchers outside their organization.(例如,2020年,巴西政府推出了国家研究基础设施平台,这是一个数字平台,科学机构可以在其中注册其可用设施,并将其提供给组织外的研究人员)”可知,巴西政府创建了共享资源的数字平台来助力开放科学。故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Other indicators are less rosy, however. Around three-quarters of publications in open-access databases are in just six languages — with nearly half being in English alone. And in spite of some of the progress mentioned, overall the report finds that scientific institutions, such as universities, national science academies and journals, are struggling to include communities, in all their diversity, in the process of creating scientific knowledge itself.(然而,其他指标则不那么乐观。开放获取数据库中约有四分之三的出版物仅使用六种语言,其中近一半仅使用英语。尽管取得了一些进展,但总体而言,报告发现,大学、国家科学院和期刊等科学机构正在努力将各种各样的社区纳入创造科学知识的过程中)”可知,本段主要介绍了当前开放科学的不足之处,包括多数开放获取数据库中的出版物语言不够多样化和科学机构在创建多样性科学知识方面的困难。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“That attempt needs as much help as it can get: Monitoring SDGs indicators is one obvious way that citizen scientists can help. Some of the largest gaps in the collection of relevant SDGs data are in low-and middle-income countries, which is where citizen research can really make a difference.(这一尝试需要尽可能多的帮助:监测可持续发展目标指标是公民科学家可以提供帮助的一种明显方式。在收集可持续发展目标相关数据方面,一些最大的差距出现在低收入和中等收入国家,这是公民研究真正可以发挥作用的地方)”可知,多依靠公民科学家参与科学研究,是帮助实现联合国可持续发展目标的方法。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The challenge will be how to accumulate (累积) individual examples of good practice into something similar to a critical mass, so that, in cases such as monitoring the SDGs, they can be made use of to get the world to where it needs to be.(挑战在于如何将良好做法的单个例子积累成类似于临界质量的东西,以便在监测可持续发展目标等情况下,可以利用这些例子让世界达到需要的地方)”可知,文章提到了开放科学发展中的一些积极因素,但也指出不少问题和挑战,表明全球范围内的开放科学还有很长的路需要走。故选A。

When something goes wrong, do you tend to recover quickly or fall apart? Some might find it extremely difficult to cope with the barriers. Following are some strategies to help you handle a personal setback and get back on track to achieve your goal.
●Understand it’s normal. Fewer than 20 percent of people succeed in reaching their goal on the first attempt. In other words it’s not whether a challenge will happen, but it’s when. ___36___
●Don’t deny it. Sometimes it can be difficult to identify a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there’s any cause for alarm. ___37___ This inability to acknowledge the problem doesn’t mean you’re stupid. It’s just that denial can cloud your awareness of the issue. It’s important to be open to the honest feedback.
● ___38___ Stop and consider carefully what went wrong. The most common causes of a setback are personal worries, overconfidence, and poor coping skills. Take a look at any factor that may have contributed to the setback: where you were, who you were with, what you were thinking and feeling.
●Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening next time. Each time you adapt your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your chances of eventual success. ___39___
Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall. ___40___ After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again.
A. Don’t take it seriously.
B. Analyze what happened.
C. Persist in pursuing your goals regardless of challenges.
D. Despite concerns, you may still refuse to acknowledge it.
E. You haven’t lost all of the knowledge, skills, and support.
F. Thus, the key lies in managing setbacks effectively when they arise.

67. 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。
I loved the spelling bee(拼字比赛) so much that every afternoon after school, I would diligently train. However, little did I know that my opponent in the spelling bee would one day become a cherished friend.
On Friday morning, I woke up at 6:27. My usual waking time was 7:01, granting me an unexpected thirty-four extra minutes to study. As the best speller in my class, I was determined to win the Meadowbrook Middle School spelling bee and defeat my opponent, Nathan Fortescue.
Nathan was a devotee of science and math. He wasn’t really a speller at heart; he was a mathematician. Nathan and I had nothing in common except being good spellers. Besides, he seemed to spell well without much effort.
I went to the kitchen and found Dad making breakfast. I told him about the spelling test and my anxiety. He quizzed me on some words, but they were easy for me. Then he asked, “How do you spell ‘argument’?” I confidently replied, “Easy, A-R-G-U-E-M-E-N-T,” without a second thought.
Dad shook his head. I didn’t believe him, so I checked the dictionary. When I came back,he said I should thank him because that word might be on the test.
As I shut the classroom door, a voice came from the back of the room. “You’re looking a bit pale. I’m afraid you might not make it through the spelling bee,” Nathan said with a smile as he closed a giant book with dancing numbers on its cover.
“I bet a literature word will knock you out in the first round,” I replied.
Then Ms. Hawking entered the room, explaining the rules—one miss and you are out—and the spelling test began. After four intense rounds, only Nathan and I remained. “Olivia, your word is ‘algorithm’,” Ms. Hawking announced. I had never heard that word before, but I spelt it: “A-L-G-O-R-Y-T-H-M.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Ms. Hawking frowned and said that’s incorrect.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After class, I sobbed when I felt a hand on my arm.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Ms. Hawking frowned and said that’s incorrect. My heart sank. I couldn’t believe I had made such a stupid mistake. Nathan, on the other hand, looked confident. He spelled his word correctly and was declared the winner. I felt a mix of disappointment and frustration. But then I forced myself to smile and congratulate Nathan. After all, he had beaten me fair and square.
After class, I sobbed when I felt a hand on my arm. I looked up to see Nathan standing there. He said, “Hey, don’t be too sad. It’s just a spelling bee. You’re still a great speller.” I was surprised by his kindness. We started chatting and found that we actually had more in common than we thought. That day, we became friends. We realized that even though we were rivals in the spelling bee, there was no reason we couldn’t be friends outside of it. And from that day on, our friendship grew.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者参与拼字比赛的经历,包括与竞争对手Nathan的关系变化,以及通过比赛意外收获友谊的温馨故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Hawking女士皱起眉头说这是不对的。”可知,第一段可描写作者因为拼错了这个单词而输掉了比赛。
②由第二段首句内容“课后,我抽泣了起来此时我感到一只手放在我的胳膊上时。”可知,第二段可描写课后,作者因为输掉了比赛而哭泣时,Nathan前来安慰。在之后的日子里,两人逐渐成为了好朋友。
2.续写线索:作者出现拼写错误——老师宣布Nathan获胜——作者感到失落—— Nathan安慰作者——作者和Nathan成为朋友
3.词汇激活
行为类
①击败:beat/defeat
②开始:start/begin
③了解、意识到:realize/become aware of
情绪类
①失望:disappointment/disenchantment/letdown
②惊讶的:surprised/astonished
【点睛】[高分句型1]I couldn’t believe I had made such a stupid mistake.(运用了省略引导词that的宾语从句)
[高分句型2]We realized that even though we were rivals in the spelling bee, there was no reason we couldn’t be friends outside of it.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和even though引导的让步状语从句)
